Project Zomboid is an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox. It asks one simple question – how will you die? Whether surviving in Knox County free-roam or controlling Indie Stone hero Baldspot in his quest to save his injured wife Kate – death is always a certainty. Quite how long you manage to put it off is another matter…

In the town of Muldraugh survivors must loot houses, build defences and do their utmost to delay their inevitable death day by day. No help is coming – your continued survival relies on your own cunning, luck and ability to evade a relentless horde.

We are an alpha-funded title – and are currently releasing Public Test Builds of our game for all who have purchased the game in the build up to the long, long-awaited 1.0 update. Our intention is to flesh out the game and its engine to a point where it is a self-contained and final product on Steam – and then to release free content and gameplay updates at regular intervals long into the future, including much awaited multiplayer.

Before we consider ourselves ready for Steam we will have updated the current UI, tweaked crafting, completed the first Kate and Bob storyline, eradicated bugs/quirks, improved NPC interaction and removed any other rough edges that would make an alpha game, such as ours, out of place on the Steam service.

The latest Public Test Builds of our game can be found on our forum or on Desura – and currently contains a new lighting engine, a new animation system, skills and levelling, carpentry, a large swathe of Knox County to explore, female characters and a host of new weapons and items. We hope to announce these builds as the official update in coming weeks.
