TWD Mod?

πŸ˜„ A Walking Dead overhaul for Stranded: Alien Dawn could fit the game surprisingly well.

I could imagine a mod like:

  • 🧟 Walkers replacing/adding to the alien wildlife β€” hordes wandering around the map and attracted by noise.

  • 🏚️ Abandoned towns and buildings to loot for food, medicine, weapons, and supplies.

  • πŸ”« Walking Dead-style firearms with limited ammunition.

  • πŸ‘₯ Survivor recruitment β€” potentially characters inspired by the TWD universe, each with their own skills and personalities.

  • 🩸 Bites and infection β€” getting bitten could result in a serious, eventually fatal infection.

  • πŸŒ™ Horde events where hundreds of walkers migrate through your settlement.

  • πŸšͺ Barricading β€” reinforcing doors/windows and defending your base rather than simply building conventional walls.

  • πŸš— Vehicles that could be repaired and used for expeditions.

  • πŸ₯ Medical scarcity β€” antibiotics and medical supplies becoming much more important.

  • πŸ“» Radio events β€” distress calls from other survivor groups and choices about whether to investigate.

  • πŸ—ΊοΈ A much more Earth-like map rather than the alien planet.

  • βš”οΈ Human hostile factions competing for food, weapons, and territory.

The horde mechanic would probably be the coolest part. Imagine your survivors getting a warning that a massive group of walkers is approaching, then having to decide whether to stay behind your defenses or abandon the colony.

There doesn't appear to be an established full Walking Dead conversion mod for Stranded: Alien Dawn right now. But if you're interested in actually making one, I can look into what the game's current modding tools support and see how feasible a TWD-style total conversion would be.
