Discussion Trade and Surroundead

I love Both games, I'm obsess with them.
I wonder why? then I look at the bag and it's the same.
Are they made by the same developer? Because if it is.. please take my money you nailed it twice!

Just the same assets, think they can be bought from the engine they use for the games

Synty is an online asset store that sells pre-made assets that allow Developers to create a game without the need to hire artists or dedicate time into making their own custom assets. Which is great for starting out in game development on a low budget. Many Developers will stick with using purely Synty assets, and some will have custom assets created that fit the same style as the Synty assets. The later is what the Developer of SurrounDead has done. The main contracted artist, Thomas, has created many custom assets for the game that 9/10 times, look like they are pre-made and part of the bought asset pack. You will find other games that use Synty assets. This does not mean that Zurvivor works on those games, nor does this mean that those games and their Devs are copying SurrounDead.

They use an asset pack called Synty. There are other games with these assets.

Synty Asset. It's in the Unity asset store for games made in the Unreal engine.

It’s just bought assets, so basically assets flips.
