Why every survival game I see has zombies? Let’s take a look at Ardem: - Started low-poly - Started with robots as enemies 3 years later: - Ditched low-poly for usual Dayz/Vein textures - Ditched robots for zombies Eventually they all look like Dayz. #gamedev #survivalgame #indiegame

My take is that they just wanted to make sure to attract the survival audience.. which is totally fine.. if I were to make a survival game I would probably go with zombies as well… it is just a bit sad that all survival games want to be DayZ.

My take on that is the same as everyone wanting to be Tarkov, the genre is not mainstream enough for a studio to just make a copy of someone else I feel many of those games would benefit of holding to their original ideas

Yeah true. The robot idea was something different… I clearly remember one of their early devlogs they pushed on that concept to be different…
