Dead State ZRPG Kickstarts

<strong>[ Game -> Preview ]</strong> - More info on <a href="http://www.falloutwiki.com/Bryan Mitsoda">Person: Bryan Mitsoda</a> | More info on <a href="http://www.falloutwiki.com/DoubleBear Studios">Company: DoubleBear Studios</a> | More info on <a href="http://www.falloutwiki.com/Dead State">Game: Dead State</a>

<p>Spent all your money helping keep DaC afloat? No? Good news, then. <strong>Brian Mitsoda </strong>and the <strong>DoubleBear Studios </strong>peeps have just set up a Kickstarter campaign for their upcoming <strong><em>Dead State</em></strong>. The promise remains, in their own words:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>-A PC RPG with stats, skills, and perks that make a huge difference on your character&rsquo;s abilities.</em></p>
<p><em>-Dozens of characters with branching, reactive dialogue, and randomized events that unfold over months of in-game time &ndash; player decisions and the death of loved ones can change relationships drastically.</em></p>
<p><em>-Turn-based combat where line-of-sight and noise affect whether you are spotted or not, making for extremely tense encounters.</em></p>
<p><em>-Base-building mechanics featuring multiple upgrades, NPC jobs, and item manufacturing.</em></p>
<p><em>-Scavenging mechanics that require players to find supplies, weapons, armor, and other items to keep their allies fed and alive.</em></p>
<p><em>-A morale system that factors in player success/failure, allies&rsquo; faith in the player, and the overall strength of the shelter.</em></p>
<p><em>-Crisis Event dialogues that factor in political maneuvering and making difficult choices that affect your whole shelter.</em></p>
<p><em>-Reactive AI that responds realistically to combat situations, player commands, and the state of panic from the presence of zombies.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>There's video, too, as is customary with these projects, one in which we can already see some combat, some looting and some banter:</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">So head <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/707 ... -rpg">over here</a> if you feel like helping the boys reach their <strong>150,000$</strong> target. Pledges start at the usual 15$ for a digital copy. Oh, and if you reckon that you've seen Mitsoda somewhere before...</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Only fitter, sadder, less productive.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em> </em></p>

For a while, I thought Dead State was just a baby project dead in its cradle. But seeing the video of the game play, I must say that this looks really promising. Pledged!
