Through the Dead City is an open-world zombie survival game. You must scavenge for weapons, supplies and find other survivors to join you as you fight your way through a procedurally generated city.


Current status:

The project is on hold indefinitely. Unfortunately I didn't have time for large personal projects for a couple years and now the framework (XNA) is outdated. I feel that if I ever do continue development on Through the Dead City, I would start over in Unity and make multiplayer a higher priority. But at the moment there are no plans to continue unless there is a large demand to see it completed.


Controls:

  • W,A,S,D: Move
  • Left Click: Shoot!

You gotta be kidding me. This game really look nice, and you're telling me it's DEAD?

It's nice to know people are still interested! It's been almost 10 years since I've worked on it, so this project is definitely DEAD. I sometimes think about starting over, but I haven't had the free time to work on a larger project like this in many years.

Thank you for playing, and good luck with your game development! 

You’re welcome and thank you for the luck.

i Want this game To Be Good Make me Proud

Please Keep updating the game plus can you help me i can't get 8 characters i CAN SEE the limit is 8 why cant i recruit more than one?

Hi gutkiller3. I'm glad to hear you like the game, but unfortunately I'm not currently planning to continue development on it.

The squad limit is actually 5 (you + 4 recruits), the extra slots are just positions in your formation that you can assign to your squad members. When you see a survivor you can pause the game (spacebar) then click the handshake icon above their head to recruit them.

Oh is there any games like it that ARE still in development

PORFAVOR DESARROLLADOR DE ESTA JOYA DE JUEGO SIGUE TRABAJANDO SI YO FUERA ADULTO TE DONARIA TODO MI MONEY PORFAVOR SIGUE ACTUALIZANDOLO

hey I'm really liking this game. good consept and design. I saw your note and have a tip for you. dont be afraid to ask other game devs for help, a good idea is to go to top rated games, find one with the art style you like and ask the dev if they would help you with your game. I'd be willing to beta test for you too.
