Paid Alpha Sees the Resurrection of Death Inc.

Today Death Inc. developer Ambient Studios announced that despite missing out on the game's Kickstarter goal fans may pick up the title's Alpha for $10.

Jonny Hopper, the game's director, commented "We were overwhelmed by the support we received during our recent Kickstarter campagin. Despite the fact we didn't reach our initial target, we did raise support of over £122,000 ($187,000) – that's a tremendous amount of support which has given us the confidence to push on.

"Doing it ourselves has also given us the freedom to give more back to the community. Players who pre-purchase the game will be able to join us on this incredible journey with Death Inc. helping us shape it into the game we know will be enjoyed the world over. The tiered nature of Kickstarter meant it made sense for us to limit alpha access to players who pledged $40 or more; now everyone who supports us will get immediate access to the game through to the final version later this year."

Death Inc., when it is released in its finished state, will set you back $20. The game is a twist on the traditional god-sim genre in which the aim is to infect as many people as possible with the plague, the end goal being to depose the despotic king of England.
