GAME

Metal Dead is the first in a planned series of comedic, heavy metal influenced, apocalyptic point'n'click adventure games packed with everyone's favorite undead creatures, zombies!

This twisted tale centers on two metal-heads in the midst of a zombie invasion. After crashing their car in front of a medical research facility, they become trapped and are forced to use their wits to puzzle their way to freedom. Along the way, they must deal with a cast of characters who range from mildly deranged to completely insane.

FEATURES

Metal Dead is a full-length old school adventure game, featuring:

- Over 40 interactive rooms
- 17 unique, quirky characters
- 13 Achievements
- Built-in hint system
- Fully orchestrated midi soundtrack
- Extensive novel-length script packed with comedy goodness
- 5-7 hours of gameplay

Price - $4.99 from Indievania (http://www.indievania.com/games/metal-dead)

Thanks for the support! We need it!

Looks like a lot of fun!

True!
I looked at the screens and thought this could be hilarious. I really hope it is!

Looks fantastic! Will definitely play when it comes out!

Haha.  This looks BRILLIANT!   ;D

Love the graphics.  And the story sounds hilarious.   ;D

Looking forward to this one.    :D

I'm never usually madly interested in funny adventure games but this looks amazing.

Looks very promising!
And I like that there's an extra "screaming" font :)

 I am not for "splatter-film-zombies", but this looks very interesting:

point'n'click 
apocalyptic
comic style 
humor
quirky characters
...

... check and won ...   :D

I want it!  I need it! - So hurry up!   ;)

Love heavy metal, comedy, adventure games, zombies and those screenshots.

Bring it on!  :D

Metal dead is my butter and bread!

You had me at heavy metal and zombies.

I cannot wait, finish this game!!

Metal is dead!

Thank you so, so much for all the kind comments guys! It's very much appreciated.  ;D

WOW! This looks really awesome! I can't wait!  :o

Are you guys gonna be charging anything? I'd easily pay for this!

Looks fun, love the font! Hope to see this when it is finished, this looks like it could be very entertaining.

hihi, had to laugh when I saw the screenshots.. so keep it up...

Time for an update!

The game is almost ready for release, and should be out by October 2011!

Added a trailer to the original post, along with the website, facebook and twitter.

We'll be showing the game off at Emulator Art in our hometown of Brisbane, Australia, so on the off chance that there's some fellow Brisbanites reading this, come along and say hello!

I liked every single part of that trailer - what means - that I will probably like every single part of the game.

but... I won't come on the Emulator Art, because it is two continents away from my continent. xd

EDIT: Hmm... it's actually just one continent away when you go to north of my continent. Hmmm... I won't come sorry! o:

The game looks amazing.  :o I especially like all Romero's movies.  ;D

I work for indie games and I make french free translation just for fun and for my CV. :)

Are you interested by a french translation for Metal Dead ? It will be great for european countries.

Please enjoy my offer.  8)

I think the game is already in French. Look at this dialog line:

As a fan of heavy metal, I am interested in this game. Although I think zombies are overdone. What do you guys think of Brütal Legend? It is Jack Black's heavy metal game for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Metal is dead!

This is true. A lot of new metal bands are just noise. If you want high quality heavy metal bands, you got to go underground. Iced Earth, Annihilator, Artillery, Toxik, etc. are some good metal bands.

Once we've released the game, we'll consider translating and we'll keep your offer in mind, thank you!

I agree that zombies have been overdone in the gaming world, but when we started this project, there were no significant point and click adventures that featured them. We put our own twist on zombies though, so they're a little different to their appearances in other media, as you'll find by playing the game. ;)

As for Brutal Legend, I played it, finished it and liked it. A nice mix of comedy/fantasy and heavy metal.

Edit: Both of us posted at the same time. Creepy.

Hey its Robert (design/art/code)

I can see how alot of people are getting over the whole zombie thing but Liam (design/script) and I always wanted to play a full length zombie point and click adventure, so we thought, why not make one!  ;D

I played a little bit of Brutal Legend. Loved the themes and style of the game but I thought some of the gameplay was a little lackluster. Overall it was nice to see a metal themed game.

On a side note for the metalheads amongst you I've been spending my long hours of coding listening to "In Mourning" and "Istapp". Brilliant bands!  ;)

Hey, if this game is successful, you should make a sequel with a dhampir as the main protagonist, and full-fledged vampire as the main antagonist.  Kind of a modernized Castlevania in point-n-click adventure mode.

heya, it is october 2011 :D

Unfortunately we've been delayed until November due to Australian censorship classification woes. They don't make it easy for indies here since they charge the same amount of money to classify a small game as they do for big budget full-price titles.

Metal Dead is essentially ready for release though!

Metal Dead is now available for sale at Indievania (http://www.indievania.com/games/metal-dead) for $4.99.
