Overkill Shows Off Georgetown in First ‘The Walking Dead’ Dev Diary
Ever since that trailer showed up back in December, we haven’t heard anything more regarding Overkill’s The Walking Dead, which is still scheduled to be released later this year. Overkill today fixed that with the release of their first Dev Diary for the project, focusing on the neighborhood of Georgetown in Washington D.C.
In the clip, the producer for the four-player co-op zombie FPS Saul Gascon and some of the lighting and environmental artists, show up to discuss what went into designing the look and feel of the town in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Storytelling through the environment is always crucial for a game like this, and the example we’re given is an apartment that’s seemingly frozen in time.
There’s no sign of any of the other characters you’ll be playing as in the game, but that will definitely change once Overkill decide to release another tidbit ahead of the game’s Fall release.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
