Why did I not hear about this before now?
Sorta interested, $15 isn't bad, really don't think I'd be in for $30 (see: $29.99 assumed since they said $15 was going to be roughly half the launch price).
Just not sure if I'm quite sold.

I'm glad Double Bear went to Kickstarter. It really felt like they were floundering for the past year, especially when the updates became increasingly sporadic, and judging from that footage, it was far from being finished. I'm glad to see it'll be back on track and finally released.
I am a sucker for zombie-related games, really I am just a sucker for apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic games/movies/books/etc. I did see this awhile ago and to be honest, forgot about it. I am just glad to see that it got funded. It looked like an interesting take on the survival genre.
Id probably be into this more for the RTS/social elements tbh, because turn-based zombie combat sounds really dull.
Couldn't quite bring myself to back this. It certainly does look interesting but I'm just not sure we need another zombie game.
It all sounds good to me but the turn based zombie combat... I don't feel as though it will work to the game's advantage, but that's just me I suppose.
I'll be keeping my eye on this though, I'm always up for a new rpg!

I remember hearing about this several years ago and then nothing. Glad to see this finally getting finished, and even happier as I am a backer.
@Tristrix
It's being written by the same guy as VtM:B. That alone sounds worth the price of admission.

@Andrew Evenstar: You know what "indie game" mean :)? And btw, like it or not, at least they have some actual gameplay to show, differently from most of Kickstarter projects who has been successfull thus far.
Go Dead State! Pledged 75 $!

I've been patiently waiting for this since it was announced back in I don't quite remember when. It's really great to see the project reaching its final stages at last.
I don't understand why publishers wont back smaller games like this. Making a video game doesn't have to be a hundred million dollar affair.
This game would cost $150,000 to finish, and when all's said and done, if they sold 10,000 copies on Steam/other service for $15 each, the publisher broke even.
Compared to Modern Warfare 2 which costed close to $200Million by the time marketing was done, up to $250,000 for a decent game is nothing.
Instead of only investing in the high-risk, high reward titles (your standard $60, "AAA" game) which ruins your profits for the year if it flops, publishers should throw some money into low-risk, medium-reward assets. (just like how they teach you to invest in stocks)
That and at $60 a pop, it's really hard for a game to compare to Call of Duty. I'm not so rich I can buy whatever game I want, so when I buy a shooter this fall, and the choice comes down to the next Call of Duty, or the next battlefield/clone we all know what the choice will be.

This looks cool but....
Can there not be a zombie game without the word Dead in the title? Left 4 Dead, Dead Island, Dead Nation, Dead Rising, Dead Etc.

I reread the original article about this game a few days ago, weird that it would pop up again like this after I thought the project long since cancelled. Be thankful I sidestepped the all too easy pun I could have just made.
This is the zombie game made by those ex Troika developers isn't it?
Those guys made three of my all time fave RPG's, Arcanum, Temple of Elemental Evil and Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines. All three are still installed on my PC now.
Dead State should be oldschool awesome.

No thanks. Zombies have been done far too many times.
