The Dead Linger puts the focus back on the zombies, and of course, survival! After all, in a zombie apocalypse zombies will pose some kind of threat? Won’t they? Unlike the majority of games, The Dead Linger features a a massive, procedural world, similar to that used by Minecraft where the world is generated as you move along.
While currently in Alpha, The Dead Linger is constantly being updated, adding more fundamental features to the game with each build. Geoff Keane from Sandswept Studios has kindly provided a Q&A to answer some questions about TDL and detail what we can expect in future builds of the game.

Well, Kickstarter is still a gamble. Not everything is gonna make it. Probably too ambitious of a project fro the builders. I think Zombies are on the downturn too... FINALLY!!! Sorry, I'm really sick of zombies.
Even more than that when you consider that it was on Early Access for quite a while, so they also got money from that channel as well.
Hardcore Gamer: he Dead Linger has become another unfortunate casualty of too much ambition funded by enthusiastic backers who won’t be getting what they paid for, but speaking as a backer, I can’t fault the studio for trying.
