The ending pledge rests at $332,635. The studio waved some new goals around, promising more game content if they got enough pledges, and the community delivered in the last few minutes.
Animals will now be a feature for Dead State thanks to those last few backers. They had ”three last minute $5000 backers” who unlocked the animals ”with minutes to spare.”
”$332,620! Animals Unlocked at the last sec - that was unbelievable!” declared DoubleBear Productions.
”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.”
”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 the way. From all of us here at DoubleBear - THANK YOU!”
What is Dead State? It’s a turn-based RPG with branching dialogue, shelter management and survival mechanics set in a zombie apocalypse. Duh. Check out the Kickstarter project trailer below.
