Solo Indie Developer
Dead Monarchy took6 years to develop and is developed by one guy named Kevin Zhang I m a solo developer and a gamer who s been chasing a lifelong dream of creating a RPG that I could live in I was born and raised in Australia and I spent my childhood playing games Dead Monarchy is my passion project and a game that I completely rebuilt from the ground up following the initial release into early access It has been influenced by games such as Battle Brothers XCOM and Jagged Alliance I plan to develop Dead Monarchy for several years even after release If I don t then I ll see you at the stake
