DEADCRAFT Developer Blog #5: The best of both worlds—making the protagonist a half-zombie – XSEED Games
During the planning stages of DEADCRAFT, the main character Reid was originally a normal human, not a half-zombie. Although the game featured lots of zombies at the time, they were not the main attraction. They were used more for worldbuilding and to add some flavor to the game.

DEADCRAFT Developer Blog #1: Combining zombie action, zombie survival, and zombie crafting – XSEED Games
This is Hisashi Fujii, the producer of DEADCRAFT at Marvelous. The idea for this game came from Kenichiro Tsukuda, the head of Marvelous Global Games Studio, who asked me if I would be interested in doing a life simulation game set in a post-apocalyptic world.
DEADCRAFT Developer Blog #6: Designing unique post-apocalyptic characters and environments – XSEED Games
DEADCRAFT’s art direction was conceived by a team of four people: the director (Akira Kurochi, myself), the producer (Hisashi Fujii), the art lead, and the lead concept artist. . In the early stages of development, we met face-to-face in conference rooms, but our meetings eventually shifted toward remote work due to COVID. Since we were not used to developing remotely, we encountered difficulties with miscommunication and conflicting ideas.
DEADCRAFT Developer Blog #4: Be as brutal as you want with shakedowns and robbery – XSEED Games
In DEADCRAFT, you can live a self-sufficient life, growing vegetables in your fields and killings rats to cook their meat. However, we wanted to make a survival game that provides players with multiple pathways to their next meal.
DEADCRAFT Developer Blog #3: Zombie crops and zombie cars—the origins of zombiecrafting – XSEED Games
From the beginning of development, we had already decided that frankies (loyal zombie followers) should be growable like crops and that the main character would be a half-zombie, but we wanted to give the game an even stronger hook that players hadn’t seen before.
DEADCRAFT Developer Blog #8: Creating the first DLC: “It Came From the Junkyard” – XSEED Games
The first DLC for DEADCRAFT, “It Came From the Junkyard,” was conceived in the early stages of development. We started with the general idea of an additional story like you often find in manga, where after beating the game an even stronger enemy appears, and you must team up with your friends to defeat the new foe.
DEADCRAFT Developer Blog #7: Building the story and world of DEADCRAFT – XSEED Games
DEADCRAFT focuses on the story of its main character, Reid, but the lives of NPCs such as Vernon, who asks Reid for help, are also woven into the game’s overall narrative. When creating the story, we took care not to make Reid and other characters virtuous heroes. After all, a sense of morality would limit gameplay options in the lawless lands of the apocalypse.
