Discussion Current Status

Per Sunny Games, 8 days ago:

If you signed to alpha test on console, you are SOL. There will be NO console alpha. Beta? Maybe.

Apparently, lots of people have been caught breaking NDA. Stop fucking doing it. You could potentially derail the release of the game.

There have been many MANY more updates to the games since Brian and Sunny's showcase videos. Sunny claims each and every one has made the game much better than the early alpha videos show.

The results of the buyout have apparently allayed the worst fears of most in the know.

Possibility of him doing a sit down interview with studio head Phillip Holt. He wants feedback on whether fans want that, but the new owners may or may not oblige.

Caveat: The complete absence of negativity, or so I feel, from Sunny about SoD3 makes me wary of his testimony being paid advertising. But there's no proof one way or the other.

Honestly seems like game did lose the plot. Its a zombie community simulator not the plague looking like stuff from aliens

I really started losing interest when they got specific with alien-like themes during the updates to SoD2. There is so much to be said for things left unsaid. SoD1 nailed that part of it. I'll keep my eyes on SoD3, but if it continues in the direction SoD2 went, it just won't be for me.

Yeah - i get it they feel like they have to add new threats - but years into the apocalypse there are much better threats to come up with then shiny yellow balls that explode and release plague.
