Pending Info.
I came across Zevolution in November of 2021 when their Kickstarter campaign launched. (I am an unashamed Kickstarter addict.)
It looks interesting! Since I missed out on backing The Long Dark, I’ve been kicking myself in the ass for the missed chance AND always looking for another interesting game to back. A survival game, that is; I feel like Kickstarter is 75% board games these days. Anyway. What caught my eye about the game was the overall look because I’m a sucker for a realistic open-world game with survival elements. I can honestly take or leave the zombies, but they’re in every game these days, so…
The Kickstarter didn't make it, and while development has continued, there are bouts of silence from the development team, broken up by small update posts. It makes it hard to understand the goals/intentions for the title or how quickly it's progressing. Something to keep an eye on.
Game Notes
- Wild Wyvern Studios was founded in 2020 by a father & son team. (Studio website)
- Zevolution attempted a Kickstarter campaign in November of 2021- unfortunately, it did not secure backing then.
- Though there was radio silence for quite a while, at the end of March 2022, the developer did release their first Devlog- hopefully the first of many moving forward.
