Dead State - Ask Me Anything @ Reddit

-For the shelter, your upgrades make your life a bit easier. The fence needs to be maintained - humans and zombies will occasionally do damage to it. You can upgrade your fence and/or build a watchtower (and assign allies to it)to keep the damage to a minimum.
-Never played Fort Zombie.
-The map is kind of like Fallout. You go where you want or go out for supplies or for something an ally might need. For example, an ally might suggest they would feel safer if the fence was upgraded, so you have to find the supplies to do that OR you can just tell them it's not a priority and deal with any disappointment later. We really want it to be a combination of ally suggestion and player-driven objectives.
-Central Texas is laid out like Central Texas, not random. We have some random encounters and random events that will populate the map, but as in any real-world location, it's based on actual towns and areas. You do have to find these locations, so when you start the game, you've got an empty map except for Splendid (the fictional town where you start the game.)
