Happy Holidays!

Our Community

• We at Reperio Studios, wanted to wish the very best to our community, who have supported us throughout the years of development. Without you guys and gals, we would be just another source engine mod. Thank you to our most hardcore and dedicated players who have killed hundreds of bandits, slaughtered thousands of zombies, and possibly smacked around a few times by Farmer Fred. As well as those just joining the fight! We love and appreciate every single one of you guys.

Our development Team

• Further more, a special thank you to all current and past development team members. This mod has come a long way and it wouldn't be possible, if not for all your hard work. Including Programmers, community managers, sound designers, voice actors, translators, and so on.

Future Plans

• Though we are a very limited team since launch. We still plan on supporting the mod (game) with new maps, features, and hopefully a wider range of content. We are always looking for new talent to join the team. If you know anyone who'd be interested in helping out with 3D Design, Animating, Texturing or Level Design please let them know that we'd love to have them on board!

Thank you,
Reperio Studios Team
