Stato di decadenza 2 lo sviluppatore immortala il defunto padre di un giocatore come un sopravvissuto giocabile nel gioco: “Il mio cuore ha saltato un battito quando ho visto il suo nome”

Rare wholesome news, persone. Stato di decadenza 2 developer Undead Labs has memorialized a community member’s late father as an in-game character.

Redditor EmbarrassedBudget shared the wholesome story earlier this week, explaining that he sent a message to Undead Labs three years ago, shortly after his dad’s death. “They did what they could, which means just adding his name to random survivors,” the player continued. “3 years later and I found him. Not just his name, but his traits, everything about him. This will always be my forever community.”

The accompanying screenshot shows a playable character called Bruce Allen Buncombe who, according to his in-game traits, ran a medical office before the zombie apocalypse, led a quiet life, ed è “old and tired” – all qualities that were supposedly shared with his real-world counterpart.

In a follow-up comment, the player thanked the studio now “that my dad’s immortal” – “We may get older and forget this game (highly doubt it), but no matter what, he’ll always be a part of it.”

“I’m not crying you’re crying,” the studio twittato poco dopo, “we’re glad you found him.”

The State of Decay series might have festered a large following for its fun base building, community management, and zombie brain-bashing, but they’ve always struck me as oddly sad games. Melancholy guitar strings play over strolls through abandoned towns. Sorrowful backstories get revealed in quite drive alongs. Permadeath hangs over your community brighter than the sun. In tal senso, State of Decay is a series about persevering, holding onto hope, despite life’s impermanence – and Undead Labs only reinforced that with the above story.
