Survive the opening hours of an undead outbreak alongside a wide cast of survivors in this online co-op retro survival horror nightmare
Hey Survivors,
The Name the Chef poll is live!
If you are you are interested in voting on the name of our toque wearing friend, got to the #polls section of our discord!
Hey Survivors!
This update was supposed was supposed to go out yesterday, but I doesn't look like it did. Sorry about that!
Now that we are in the final 10 days of the Kickstarter, we are going to begin setting up the polls to name our erstwhile in-game survivors. Before we set up the official polls, we would like to collect names from the community and the names for the polls will be selected from there.
In order to do this, you will have to join our discord, and go over to the question section of the discord to suggest names for our first namable character: The chef!
Please note: We will only consider serious suggestions, I know that suggesting names like Knifey McKniferson (name idea from Evan) feels like a slam dunk, but we need names that can be actually used so please put your thinking caps on! Looking forward to what you all come up with.
For those of you who would like to suggest a name, but can’t or don’t feel comfortable using discord. Please comment on this update, I will be sure to check the comments before creating the poll.
PS: A shoutout of thanks to Myth who helped Evan set this all up! You are the best!
We are very close to reaching our first stretch goal, so if you were thinking about adding on, todays the day. We still have NPC's and gravestones available!
Character Focus: The Chef
He has no idea what happened, or why he woke up several days into the outbreak stuck in his upside-down food truck with one of his own knives staring him straight in the nose. The only thing he knows is that you can’t cook for zombies, (they don’t even go for a nice tartare, really, so gauche!) so he had no reason to stick around. Luckily, knives can be used for more than just cooking.
Games we are watching:
You can’t get more retro than the 16th century! The game we wish to bring to your attention today is Carta Marina by Furoshiki Lab. The developers were inspired by an actual 16th century map depicting sea monsters in the oceans around Scandinavia. A completed version of the map, which is the length of a full person, is extremely rare and the developers used this fact to create the concept around the game. Finish the Carta Marina by sailing around the ocean and learn about 16th century Scandinavian. They are trying to make it realistic as possible. It’s is certainly an interesting and compelling idea! Check it out!
Hey Survivors,
I know this is cutting it close, but if you are looking for something fun to watch and/ or listen to this afternoon, Evan will be on the Limited Run Games twitch channel at 1 pm EST hanging out with Jeremy C. (who is also one of our voice actors) playing the Shades of Horror playable teaser and discussing all things LRG!
Games we are watching
I have tried very hard to use this section to focus on games and developers that have taken an aspect of a older game and remade it in their own image, and today's entry is no exception! Ascent of Ashes produced by Vivid Storm Interactive caught my eye because they take inspiration from XCOM and classic everyday sims and the application of it. Check them out and let's get them funded, because the world needs more games like this!

Character Focus: The Journalist
It doesn’t matter to her that this is a career making story, the journalist understands that what matters are the facts behind it. Probably the least motivated of all the survivors to escape, she is more interested in pounding the pavement and collecting clues to solve the mystery, even if most of those clues are confusing and contradictory. She’ll get to the bottom of the story, but will she survive it?
