The Steam page is finally live! Thank you for your patience and all the support.

Lead the last carrier task force through a world overrun by zombies. Command your forces on the operations map, then zoom into battle and take control yourself.

Thank you for all the support on this video. It means a lot!

Ever since I watched World War Z, I’ve wanted to build this.

In Ebbtide, zombies pile on top of each other to reach your troops. Gunfire can knock them off, and the pile can collapse as they climb.

Even a rooftop can become a frontline.

You’ve seen the firepower. Here’s why you’ll need it.

Early development footage from Ebbtide.

@happppppppyDan Thanks! I’m preparing a Steam Playtest first, followed by a public demo. A focused FOB-defense scenario could be a good introduction—I’ll keep that in mind!

Scaling up helicopter operations in Ebbtide. 🚁
I’ve been working on helicopter group movement, with different formations and adjustable spacing between aircraft.

Here’s a larger transport formation moving across Los Angeles before deploying its squads on the ground.
How does the formation movement look?

Also, the Steam store page should be ready to go live this week! Sorry for the wait, and thanks for your patience.

Early development footage. #indiedev #gamedev

@ConnorEllison They follow the overall layout of the helicopter formation! After dismounting, each squad takes up defensive positions around its own helicopter, so the whole deployment retains that formation

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@JacksonLin_98 Yes! Steam Workshop support is planned.

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@RazgrizX Thank you! Hearing that from someone who’s wanted this since the Westwood days means a lot. I really appreciate the support!

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@gushuangqian1 Absolutely! You’re welcome to make non-commercial videos. Please credit Ebbtide / @ProjectAliveDev and make clear that the footage is from a game still in development. I’d love to see your videos and hear your group’s feedback—thank you! 😄

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@spookdi Thank you! Giving players useful ways to organize and coordinate their units is a big priority, so I’m really glad that stood out

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@daunt1less Thank you! There’s more than ordinary zombies planned 👀 Armed human enemies are something I’d like to explore in future updates too, but they aren’t confirmed yet.

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

Thank you so much! Glad you found the game, and I really appreciate the encouragement! A long-running sandbox is the goal! I’d also love to support community-made missions and scenarios. I’m keeping that flexibility in mind while designing the scenario system, though an editor isn’t confirmed yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@7YFmFktAxr21059 谢谢你告诉我，也谢谢你愿意帮忙！Ebbtide 计划支持简体中文，目前也在组织社区本地化协作。欢迎来 Discord 的 #contributions 频道聊聊！😄

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@xingchenzhijia6 谢谢关注！Steam 商店页争取本周上线，到时就能加入愿望单了。我正在准备 Steam Playtest，之后会推出公开试玩 Demo。最低配置还没确定，目前也在针对低配电脑优化，实测后会公布配置要求！

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@Shin_Spam 감사합니다! 저도 그 모습이 기대됩니다ㅎㅎ

@gkingofboston Ride of the Valkyries!

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@Mr__Brunswick Thank you! It means a lot that you’ve been following along. Can’t wait for you to get your hands on it! ����

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@Haddicus Thank you! They maintain the spacing set for each formation, including during landing and squad deployment!

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@thomasatattamus Thank you! I’ve been trying to make the movement feel as natural as possible too, so I’ll try refining it with your suggestion in mind. Really appreciate the feedback!

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@iarthsingh Thank you! Yes, a Mac version is planned too!

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@HellfireGinsu Thank you! I wanted those cinematic moments to be something you actually command and play through. Glad it comes across!

[Ebbtide @ProjectAliveDev]

@strategywargamr Thank you! The Steam page should be live later this week, so you’ll be able to wishlist it then! 🙏
