Postmortem: State of Decay

It's no secret that State of Decay from Undead Labs has been one of my favorite games this year.

Now that the dust has settled and the game has been out for a while, I figured it was the perfect time to check back in and do a little (har har) post-mortem Q&A on this groundbreaking survival title.

LOW A tough mission rendered unfinishable by a glitch-out.

WTF Why the hell does the game advance when I’m not playing?

Several sites including GameCritics.com were invited to a preview event for the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade title State of Decay. The gathering took place at Undead Labs, located in Seattle Washington. I attended, and was able to spend about four hours with a near-final build of the game. In addition, several of the developers were nearby throughout the day to answer questions.
