Techraptor's Kindra Print continues to look into the troubled development surrounding The Dead Linger, talking with several former team members who reveal some surprising facts about the project

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.
TechRaptor writer Kindra Pring digs into the situation around the Kickstarted and Early Access game The Dead Linger and its 3 years in development, several engine changes and a game that is selling on steam a deprecated build.
Started off great,top developers that were very forum heavy and was a great way to see a game being built from the ground up through early access.
I funded this game at the beginning and then it just got stale updates literally took forever and i gave up way before the engine changes.
I just cut my losses and uninstalled,real pity ,this game looked promising.
