Title: The Dead Linger, an open world zombie game.

What is it?: Essentially, it is a moddable, open world zombie game with multiplayer and randomly generated enviorments as you go along (Think Zombie Minecraft.)

Sounds like WarZ: Incorrect, WarZ advertised itself as a 'Zombie MMO' and fucked up pretty bad with that. These guys are making it the way WarZ SHOULD have been. WTF Does that mean? It means they're showing us everything they do as they go along unlike WarZ which showed almost nothing during its development stage besides shitty screenshots and short videos. Each build for this game has a video detailing some of the new features, currently it looks much more promising than WarZ, despite its alpha status.

Sounds good, how much is it and where can I buy it?: Unlike WarZ, there are no microtransactions, nor will there be. You can buy it >Here< (http://www.thedeadlinger.com/iwanttolinger) for 20$!

Steven's final say:
I'll keep my eye on it, since there will be player-owned servers and mod support, it may be a way better game than WarZ.

it seems pretty fishy and the convenience of war z's collapse is timed so well with the development of this game
tell me how far does mod support go as well

Dead Linger was around much longer than War Z though. The pre-alpha footages are from somewhere around summer I think.

It's been in dev before WarZ, they had a kickstarter for it. Mod support will be released eventually, refer to the build videos/FAQ's.

Not gonna bother commenting on aesthetics.

Aside from random generation, which sounds much needed and interesting, I don't really see much innovation. Part of the issue with X Z games is the lack of end game and or lack of content. I've yet to see anything about that. (Granted i'm looking into it a bit more).

I understand sandbox games are meant to be open ended but neither X Z games give you many/any sandbox tools.

Really hoping this isn't another cash in.
