Dashing through the snow. It’s a Juggy, run away. O’er the hills we’ll go…
Screaming all the way – ho ho ho!
Happy Holidays!
It’s Going To Be An Undead New Year
Hello fellow survivors. (It’s been a long time since I last typed that…)
It’s traditional to close out the year with the phrase, “Happy new year!” Usually we say that speculatively, as in, “Boy I sure do hope we have a happy year next year!” But sometimes we might have a reason to actually believe it will be a happy year next year. For those of us here at Undead Labs, we’re looking at a ton of hard work next year (multiple metric tons of tons, more realistically), some late-night panics, a few “oh my god oh my god” meetings, a sprinkling of bug-count out-to-the-woodshed sessions courtesy of our QA team, and some assorted last-minute design or tech change freak outs. And all that can mean only one thing: we’re driving toward the release of State of Decay 2 next year, and that will make it a very happy year indeed.
Ho, Ho, HOARGGH
(Apologies if Zombie Santa sounds completely different in your head, but that’s what he sounds like in mine.) This year’s holiday wallpaper fits right in with our tradition of something disgusting to adorn your monitor at this festive time of year. We never seem to run out of zombie ideas around here, what can I tell you. Here it is!
From the Lab: Merry and Bright
Man. What a ride we had in 2014! We went from our State of Decay announcement in January, to the XB1 announcement, to the limited release of Moonrise without stopping for air. Behind the scenes, we went from a tiny group working on one project to a full-sized team or three hard at work on great things both known and unannounced. And the thing that has made it all happen (and all worthwhile) was you. Each one of you made a real, measurable difference to us – and we hope our games in 2015 and beyond make a difference to you. Thank you for your feedback, your encouragement, your teasing, your private messages and public comments. All of it is the rocket fuel that launches us forward every day.
From all of us at the Lab to all of you, we hope for the most merry holiday season and the brightest future. And just to let you know we’re always going to be Undead, here is this year’s wallpaper:
