I guess the lesson here is to really plan ahead and prepare all the lines to be done at once, when possible. Just kidding, I?ve sent them many batches of lines to do. As far as learning through that process, I?ve learned that voice actors are slaves to be overworked. Working with co-author and partner SickDeathFiend is always (99% of the time) a great pleasure as I love his style and our minds work similarly. I think I?m one of those ?friendly? programmers. Working with talented people is almost always pleasant as I admire artists and what they do. Has working with others on Road of the Dead 2 taught you anything new and was the experience with other talented people a pleasant one? Basically, I took a slow running game, made it run much faster, then packed it with enough stuff to make it run slow again.Ĭreating a game like this is definitely needed help from others in departments such as art and voices. I couldn?t say I picked up any particular skill but I can say I have optimized the engine massively to run Road 2 with a lot more stuff going on. Programming is a never ending learning process so everything I work on is a little bit more baggage in my brain. What skills have you picked up since releasing Road of the Dead in 2010 that have helped help you develop this time around? That planned sequel is now Road of the Dead 3 where we continue John Creasman?s storyline. However, the Road of the Dead 2 game we have today isn?t the sequel we had planned at all. The game?s popularity made it clear that a sequel had to be done though. I don?t quite remember if we knew there would be another Road game when making the first Road of the Dead but we knew the story didn?t end there, it?s pretty obvious when you see the ending. Well, the first thing to say about that is that when we created the story, I knew it would eventually involve many games telling the entire story, because I love that kind of stuff, a big story told through different games, movies, etc. Was a sequel originally planned when developing Road of the Dead or was it because of the popularity of the first game? It didn?t help that the project got blown way out of proportions. Haha, I?m terrible at evaluating how much time stuff takes to make.

Yeah?a long time ago, I remember thinking we?d release it for October 2012 for Halloween. It started a while ago, somewhere around July 2012 I think.

When did you start production on Road of the Dead 2? As a special treat for those who are fans, I?m here with Evil-Dog, the programmer and creator of Road of the Dead 2 who has generously answered a series of questions about his new game. Since 2010, Evil-Dog has earnt over six awards on from the Saga of the Dead games.

For those who are a fan of Saga of the Dead series, it all kicked off with Evil-Dog?s smash hit Road of the Dead.
