GAME STORY

Dead Earth is a thrilling, first-person, action-survival game set in the modern post-apocalypse. As mankind’s last hope, you’ll traverse a fallen world ravaged by a lethal plague. Dive headlong into total chaos and destruction as you desperately search for Subject Zero, the first human to turn. This person, if they are still ‘alive’, could hold the key to unlocking a cure for the epidemic. The game presents players with a variety of dangerous environments where the fight for survival gets progressively more difficult as the story unfolds. The infection has manifested in a variety of terrifying ways, so you’ll face a merciless set of enemies from enraged humanoids to total mutations whose origins are almost unrecognizable. Make sure you stockpile some extra ammo!

Testimonials

I joined two months ago and watched most of the videos of Dead Earth game development and learned a ton by doing so. I implemented a version of the AI system for a small VR experience and it worked really well.

I love the systems that we develop and use in Dead Earth. I learned so much from your videos! Your style of teaching is awesome. I never saw tutorials that explain things like this before. Now I use Unity more than ever!

The Dead Earth instruction is incredibly detailed and goes far beyond any game development training on Udemy or YouTube. What I've learned has been very powerful and adaptable to various games.
