Ft. Lauderdale, Florida - Indie video game startup company, GameForward Studio announces their Zombie Byte! crowdfunding campaign is now available on Kickstarter. Zombie Byte! is a new re-imagining of video game culture that appeals to new and old school gamers alike through its homages to current and past video game history. Centered around a boy named Miles, players will partake in a story driven experience filled with triumph, deception, and plot twists as they uncover the true connection between Miles and the zombie video game outbreak.
Miles is a lovable, witty, smart, and adept 13 year old boy with a deep passion for all things video game. An avid gamer and collector, Miles has amassed the worlds largest video game collection in his parents basement. But one day while playing his video games a portal suddenly opens up and Miles' video games come to life as zombies and start emerging from his TV. After being forced to escape to safety Miles can't help but wonder how it is possible for video game characters to not just be alive but also zombies? Realizing he is the only one who can stop the zombie outbreak Miles sets out to revert every last zombie back to its video game world while at the same time discover the connection between himself and the zombie outbreak.
"We are deeply proud of Miles and feel he is an endearing character that will resonate in the hearts of gamers of all ages. We could not be happier with Miles leading the Zombie Byte! franchise and hope one day he becomes an iconic figure in video game culture." - GameForward Studio
As players join Miles on his journey through the first installment of the Zombie Byte! franchise, they will experience a 2D side-scrolling action adventure game where they must run, jump, shoot, grapple hook, and pilot a Mech to stop the video game zombies from infecting Miles' world. Players can expect to experience animated level designs mixed with light puzzle elements, scripted sequences, random waves of zombie hordes, and boss battles.
