Road of the Dead HD Remake for Steam?

Posted by Evil-Dog - September 2nd, 2013

So with Road of the Dead 2 out and great feedback from the community and an obvious feeling that flash is holding back our games, we're really considering doing a kickstarter to redo Road 1 and 2 into a bundle made in Unity3D, with all new high definition graphics, high quality sound and music, not the compressed crap we have to deal with in flash games and an actual 3D road with a texture and side rails that don't look like grey squares.

The end result would be a high definition, high performance, PC version of both games, available on steam and playable in full screen with the keyboard and mouse or even a gamepad.

What do you guys think? Is that something you'd back up?
Stretch goals would include new zombies, new game modes, coop MP, etc

Tell us what you think :)

I'd like to see this, you could try some kind of an open world mode or somethin too?

Evil-Dog 2013-09-02 16:58:36

we would not change the game, it would be a HD port, not a whole new game.

SewedUp 2013-09-02 17:01:20

Yes!

Intrapath 2013-09-02 17:07:57

Like you said, Flash is on the way out and Unity looks like the perfect replacement. Sounds like a plan to me!

TheMajormel 2013-09-02 17:12:03

will this one not blow up my computer.

Evil-Dog 2013-09-02 17:12:03

It might?

MSGhero 2013-09-02 17:37:10

Consider epic battle fantasy 4: a lot of people questioned a steam release when they can just play the same game for free minus a few weapons. Then consider chibi knight: there's so much to do in the new one compared to the flash version. I think with a lot of new features and content in addition to the better graphics and audio, it could work. GL

Evil-Dog 2013-09-02 17:37:10

yeah the remake would have some new features but overall we'd like to keep the experience the same, just top quality

TribesofHalo 2013-09-02 17:37:17

How would co-op work?

And I'd say go ahead and get something set up through Steam alright.

Road of the Dead is legit. Chances are as long as this doesn't break 15-20 bucks on the HD remake, I'd back it.

Evil-Dog 2013-09-02 17:37:17

Coop would work by one driving and one shooting I guess? for road 2

Turtlelord88 2013-09-02 17:58:13

please be free! also please do co-op!

Evil-Dog 2013-09-02 17:58:13

Sure we'll work for free

deathink 2013-09-02 18:21:44

Hell yeah man!

S-body 2013-09-02 18:26:06

I think that it's a nice idea!! :D

DJ4321 2013-09-02 18:52:43

i say... FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!

Th3Dark3r 2013-09-02 19:24:38

ahhhh YEAH

FightingSeraph 2013-09-02 19:36:03

I hope it doesn't end up like the remake of Flashback:

Evil-Dog 2013-09-02 19:36:03

That does look like a "we're trying to be cool" remake, we'd just want to revamp the game to look fantastic in full screen but overall it would be the same experience as the flash game, just top quality and amazing

davethemonkey 2013-09-02 20:38:48

only if naked pictures of tom fulp are at the end of each level

Evil-Dog 2013-09-02 20:38:48

That could be a reward for ONE MILLION DOLLAR DONATIONS

Abyssmare 2013-09-02 21:16:07

Well, considering that D-SuN is already doing the same thing with "Armed with Wings", SURE, WHY NOT??? it would be absolutly amazing, and you know maybe add a little bit of new content? maybe :X and *cough**cough**steamcards**cough**cough**steamachievements**cough**cough**maybe?**okno*

TheTrainSurfer 2013-09-02 21:24:06

Sure, I will back you up!

AleksandrtheGreat 2013-09-02 22:08:09

Add some character customization, and I'm in for sure. Really enjoyed my time playing the Road of the Dead series, so if you can add that I would pretty much be required to back it.

nitokov 2013-09-02 22:56:40

here is an idea for you, drive by mode? for example when gathering ammo or idk its your game..
and go for it, faster higher stronger!

8madness 2013-09-02 23:18:06

can I send you a video of me dancing in underwear once you finish?

HeroMcDohl 2013-09-02 23:22:00

I would say it is a great idea. The game has simple, arcade like controls that would make an excellent budget title. I would suggest though having some of the "Regular Street" segments from Road of the Dead 2 and implement them into the first one though. After it would make more sense for him to drive from his house to the freeway rather than I leave my house and BOOM onto the freeway.

Evil-Dog 2013-09-02 23:22:00

it would make sense yeah, start at a garage, short residential area to the highway ramp :)

phoenix48019 2013-09-02 23:43:07

it would be an awesome game i would pay for
