    Great news for fans of Dead State (the zombie game not really about zombies). The crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter has ended - and quite successfully so. The final numbers are showing $332,635, more than double the initial target. Congratulations!

    Mr. and Mrs. Dweller Mitsoda writes:

    $332,620! Animals Unlocked at the last sec - that was unbelievable! Thanks to everyone who pledged and believes in our team! You are the best! We had three last minute $5000 backers unlock the animals with minutes to spare. It was an amazing sight to see. I've never seen a community rally behind a developer like this. We are absolutely floored at the response and we can now begin working on the rest of the game.

    To all our backers - thank you for your support and continued support. Please visit us on the forums and continue to give us your feedback. We're kind of in awe at the moment, so I'll cut this short. To all our backers, we are going to raise a glass to you tonight and give a toast in your honor. You are amazing! We can't wait to bring Dead State to you! And you'll be right there with us the rest of th e way. From all of us here at DoubleBear - THANK YOU!

    The Codex campaign is currently at $1,353, forcing them to implement quite a few Codex treats into the game. How about an in-game Codex ad poster?! A morale booster item based on Codex... shit?! Portraits?! In-game text messages?! And more!

    Send them your CV Drog.
    The game will need more codex influence in it.

    He'll spend his entire time on the job whining about the engine (and probably secretly converting the entire project to C4 in his spare time, just to show 'em)

    Now they can begin working on the rest of the game?

    Uhmm...didn't they say before Kickstarter got off that they were going to finish the game with what they had? Why use Kickstarter at all?

    I guess you can't say no to free money, and I for one don't hold it against them.

    Just out of curiosity.... Since estimated members of the Double Bear Production Inc. have expressed 'doubts' that a game (RPG, of course) can be completed in about 18 months, how you are going to pull it off by Dec 2013?

    And of course I am assuming that the game drafted completed so far is about, what, a few screenshots and some dialogues?

    They did? Bastards!

    I'd be happy to shed some light on this 'mystary' for you, but it requires Level 1 Reading Comprehension level (to be able to understand what was stated), so I'm afraid you will have to wait a bit.
