Go Ahead… Kick My Ass

Happy 2012, fellow survivors!

After a well-earned break for the holidays, Team Zed is back in the Lab and pounding away at the code, art, sound, and design for ‘Class3′.

To celebrate the new year—and, okay, because we haven’t updated you in a few weeks—I took some “spy cam” footage in the Lab today with my trusty iPhone. We’re not quite ready to post official trailers at this point, but I snuck up on Foge as he was testing out some ambush functionality on the Lab TV, so you might catch a glimpse of some early-alpha Class3 gameplay goodness.

Or maybe more than a glimpse…

As we jump into the new year we also bid farewell to Emily, who took point on our website and kept in touch with our community and fansites such as MMOZed.com. Emily is off to new adventures, and we wish her well. Don’t worry—we’ll be keeping you up-to-date on our progress here on the Undead Labs website, and we’ll also be announcing plans for a more robust community site soon.

We had a tremendously productive year in 2011, and we’re anticipating an even better 2012. I’m happy to say that Class3 is on schedule and looking great. We’re excited to show it to you and the rest of the world officially—assuming I don’t get my ass kicked for leaking unofficial gameplay footage…

    No updates in aaaaaaaaaaaaages but I’ll take that as a sign that big work is going on! If you’re this far already… Can’t wait for the Class3 release. :D

    so we WILL have to eat right? cuz what would a survival game be without food and water? that way instead of just going around shooting zombies just for the fun of it you can go around and shoot zombies in stores so you can get the food and water.

    Ugh, I hope there is a first person mode for this game, I cannot play 3rd person games.

    I’d seriously have no qualms about selling my PS3 and buying an Xbox 360 JUST to be able to play this game. I’m so excited looking at this game-play footage! You guys are doing some fantastic work, keep it up!

    I just recently heard about this game and spent and hour or more reading all about it and thought this has to be to good to be true being a huge zombie fan i am, but guess after seeing cam video it looks good. I always craved badly a survival zombie game and this seems to be it. But what bothers me is the hold up on relese date and screenshots. I see you guys been workin on the game two years if im correct especually for an Aracde game, seems it be done by now :/ i mean Left 4 Dead took three years and that was a bigger game and for PC included. So hopefully what i’m saying is a 2012 relese date. I mean isnt that the case, you relese we play and judge whats good and what isnt good and needs to be fixed and the sooner the relese the sooner your cool company starts ‘Class4′. :)

    I have a small but fairly important question I have been thinking about for a while… We will be able to play class three while not connected to live, right? D:
