Dead State - Update #21

DoubleBear has kicked up a new Kickstarter update for Dead State. It's intended for backers only but here's a small-ish quote on the current status:

Work progresses on the game steadily. When I’m not wearing the production or business hats (or customer service hats), I’ve been writing dialogue for the game. I just finished another one of the sub-leader characters, and it was a hefty chunk of writing. Reacitivity and random events can really jack up the dialogue count easily. While it would be easier to scale back the number of interactions, I want to make sure the player has plenty of face time with each of the characters and some special situations that only show up under the right conditions. Most of these dialogues will be revised once we get them tested in the game, so the writing is never “done done” until the game’s out, and even then, it would be easy for us to send out an update to add some new events or even replies to provide some unanticipated options on replays. Being indie and funded by Kickstarter allows us to control our product after it goes out for as long as we want to keep on providing new content for it – thanks again for that opportunity!

We may keep our heads down for the next month, but don’t panic if you don’t hear anything from us for a while – it means we’re hard at work on Dead State. We’re still in the early post-funding stages, and we want to quickly get to the “showing off” stage of development. Until the next update, we’ll be here and on the message boards if you need to get a hold of us. Thanks for your continued support and enthusiasm.
