After Raising $155k on Kickstarter Zombie Survival Game The Dead Linger is Dead

Serena Nelson writes: "Okay, so let's get the giant putrid elephant out of the way first. Despite raising roughly $155k on Kickstarter in 2012, and being released on Steam Early Access in 2013, The Dead Linger has officially been shelved indefinitely."

Well, Kickstarter is still a gamble. Not everything is gonna make it. Probably too ambitious of a project fro the builders. I think Zombies are on the downturn too... FINALLY!!! Sorry, I'm really sick of zombies.

155K for this game is not enough?

Even more than that when you consider that it was on Early Access for quite a while, so they also got money from that channel as well.

Started off great,top developers that were very forum heavy and was a great way to see a game being built from the ground up through early access.
I funded this game at the beginning and then it just got stale updates literally took forever and i gave up way before the engine changes.
I just cut my losses and uninstalled,real pity ,this game looked promising.
