Built from the ground up by a two person team, The Living Remain is a virtual reality first person adventure shooter for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Players immerse themselves in a new world where the undead have taken over. You must survive the horde of undead using an arsenal of weapons in a story driven campaign loaded with a variety of interactive environments. Explore, scavenge, and collect filament to craft ammo and upgrade a variety of weapons.

You are playing as Grant Montgomery, a former military soldier who has been separated from his family. Now he is searching for them in a post apocalyptic world where pockets of remaining humans are surviving within protected compounds, while the undead roam freely. He comes across a group of survivors, one of them is Alex, and she quickly becomes his ally. Over a radio she helps Grant navigate through this dark post apocalypse world.

Some of you may have noticed that our undead look a little different...well, that's because we spent the last few months doing a complete overhaul to get them ready for release.

UPDATE 23

Hello there everyone! We have some big, exciting news to share with you today.

First, we want to take this chance to send out a big thank you to everyone who has kept their eye on The Days After, and has shared their support and excitement for the project. It’s really motivated us to make the best VR survival experience we can achieve.

We’ve not stopped working since we last posted an update for you all, and one of the major things we’ve put together is a totally new look for the game.. including the title.

“The Days After” has served us well, but as we’ve overhauled pretty much every system in the game - including combat, crafting, scavenging and puzzles, we wanted to give the game a brand new look to reflect the higher level of quality we’ll be launching at.

Moving forward, The Days After will become The Living Remain!

update 22

Make sure to check out our latest post about crafting for The Days After. We chose to take an approach that is not overly complicated with our crafting system, so that it can be more of an enhancement to the experience.

UPDATE 8

In honor of World Zombie Day, we would just like to share our progress for The Days After.

We are pushing really hard to get this game out the door, so we appreciate your patience. We're aiming towards the alpha release soon, and we know it's been a long wait...but we have added a lot and made so many improvements, and we can't wait to release The Days After!

Update 7

Yes, its been a while. I know we haven't been updating the site, but rest assured, the work is going into the game :). This is just a quick note on the progress of the game. More will come in the next few weeks...but for now just wanted to let you know how development was going.

There has been a lot of progress with the game. More weapons were added (such as a DMR), and we have made a few more updates to the backpack/ inventory system. I'm trying to decide if I should make a super short video with some of the gameplay...or provide screenshots.  Most likely it will be screenshots as we are pushing forward heavy with the campaign and we don't want to give away too much spoilers :). Let us know what you want to see in the contact us page...if enough people want to see a video...maybe we can get a quick one done :).

update 6

If you have been following The Days After, you may have noticed that we have only shared night time maps. As you can see, the game DOES have a variety of daytime maps as well! What we are sharing this week is the compound, it will be the player's home base to safely prepare for his/her assignments in the post apocalyptic world. This compound is your fortified safe haven where you can get comfortable with weapons and make sure you have the right equipment when you go out into locations crawling with the dead. Since it's in the heart of the city, you have access to a variety of locations within the city that are important for making sure you can survive. 

The compound includes:

Shooting Range - This area is perfect for practicing shooting and reloading skills. Players can make sure they can use the existing weapons to their maximum effectiveness or try out a new weapon that they just unlocked. Some of the targets are moving, so it can really help with aim. Players can even make sure they know how to use the various kinds of throwing weapons,  such as grenades.

Armory - Here players can get supplies, ammunition, and select weapons for an assignment. As the player progresses, more resources are available to him/her.

Assignments - Players can select different assignments within the world. Since The Days After is a non linear game, players have the option to select any of the available assignments that have been unlocked. This allows the player to decide how they want to play the game and gives them a bit of freedom.

Until next time!

update 5

Just wanted to give a quick update on the game, since its been a while. It took about a week to get back the Vive, but development for it resumed immediately. We are continuing development for both the Vive and Rift and will keep things running in parallel for the remainder of the project.

The last few weeks have been spent re-enegineering some of the foundation for the game, to support both platforms, but this also had the effect of us touching upon and revisiting some aspects of the game and improve them. Hopefully when we show some more of the game...you will agree.

BTW, we will be putting out a screenshot or two within the next few days :-).

update 4

Yesterday, development came to a screeching halt as our Vive went for lack of a better word...kaput! Its been giving us issues over the last couple of weeks, and finally died, so we sent it out for repair. It has gotten non stop heavy usage over the last 7 months...much more than the average HMD, so this may be the cause. Even with this unfortunate event, we have made so many big strides within the last few weeks and The Days After is coming along nicely. We will be showing more of the game pretty soon, but for now we have some exciting news to share.

We are working on a simultaneous release to support the Oculus Rift!

We knew that we wanted to include this in our roadmap early, but didn't want to make any promises that we couldn't keep so we held off on this announcment. The game is up and running across both platforms and we have implemented  some cool things for each respective platform. 

Since The Days After is based on a room scale configuration, it makes use of the Oculus Touch controllers. Our implementation works for both 2 & 3 camera setups to allow support for both standing and room scale. 

That's it for now...stay tuned for more information soon!

update 3

This week we are showing off the inventory system we currently have in place. It's in the form of a backpack which resides....drum roll...on your back.

Since this game includes exploring, we needed a way for players to carry around a good amount of items, while keeping his/her hands free. It can be pulled off of your back at any time and can hold lots of different items. In addition to the six slots for generic items, the player can hold two large weapons. This could be a combination of any two large weapons and will give players a large selection of choices.

Hope you liked the video...please like it if you did!

Until next time....

update 2

We promised we would be showing a bit more...well here you are!

This is a quick video showing off a few things we have implemented in the game. Its just a glimpse of what we are working on.

A quick update showing a few things.

• Holster - Allows the player to have quick access to assault rifles, pistols, and grenades. We will be showing more of this and our complete inventory solution in a future update.

• Locomotion - Shows how players can walk and shoot, look around, etc. This has really come a long way and has changed the game dramatically. The part you see in the video is just a small part of the map.

• Bullet impacts - This was shown off in the first trailer, but we have expanded it a bit. Now more surfaces show bullet impacts and effects (Notice the bullet holes on the orange truck).

• Footsteps - This has been upgraded as well. The surface that is walked on determines the sound made. We believe this adds a lot to the locomotion and dramatically reduces the feeling of "floating".

update 1

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the progress of our game The Days After. It is coming along really well…so well in fact that we have decided to expand on our original vision of the game. It originally had limited movement…meaning you could walk, but only in a small area. We’ve scrapped that idea…It now has a full campaign with a locomotion system that allows players to explore the world without any restrictions.

As you could guess, this has made the scope of the game much larger than before and with a larger game comes a larger workload. This means that we are going to have to push back the release of the game a bit. We are so anxious to release it, so this decision was very tough…but we think its totally worth it. 

We don’t want to put out an OK game. We want it to be great…that means that we had to revisit many aspects of the game and redo or adjust them for full locomotion. One obvious example is that the maps are now HUGE. Even with the huge size of the maps…we are still on target for supporting systems with a GTX 970.

We hope you understand why it has been pushed back and we are working day and night to get it out as soon as possible.

On a positive note, we want to keep you in the loop with our progress, so we will post information on a more frequent basis...so check back about every 2 weeks...we will post more information and screenshots.

Thanks

Five Finger Studios
