TBF Games Brings Call of Duty Action to Minecraft.
New Game “A Dead Guy Called Dave” brings guns, gore & exploration.
Indie game developers are often driven by passion, so in many ways, it’s all about looking inwards and asking yourself why you were so keen to make this game. What was missing from the video games market that you wanted to rectify? That’s the core question I asked myself when making A Dead Guy Called Dave.
For me, it was always looking at what was popular at the time and also what I enjoyed playing. Minecraft has always been popular and I always play the game with my children. There are enemies to defeat, survival aspects, and building. What it lacked though was a story, something I myself have always found interesting in games. With A Dead Guy Called Dave, I wanted to take the art style of Minecraft and combine it with the likes of Call of Duty, an FPS that I really enjoy playing. I also like the low poly look found in many of the indie retro games you see these days using post-processing, so I attempted to add a very subtle retro filter to the game as well.
Trial By Fire Games is pleased to announce that A Dead Guy Called Dave will bridge the gap between genres and offer a new playing experience not seen before. Launching in March 2022, A Dead Guy Called Dave will launch exclusively on VoxPOP games with Over 25 different weapons. This will also include melee combat and throwables. A Dead Guy Called Dave will see you brave the cold snowy mountains in search of your missing brother who disappeared roughly 6 weeks prior. Eventually stumbling across a secret lab, you encounter horrible mutations of people that once were and now must fight your way out managing your inventory, ammo, and health.
It meant so much to me to be able to make a game that allows other people who may not be interested in the calm nature of Minecraft’s pace to be able to enjoy a more action-orientated game whilst still enjoying some of the core mechanics.
It also allows me to explore other genres for the future with this game being highly customisable. My goal with A Dead Guy Called Dave was not only to create a new genre but to also create something exciting that players will pick up time and time again whilst also providing a strong story for the protagonist to act upon. Telling this story through this medium has been great, and I’ve started thinking of how I can start sharing other stories through this medium also.

At launch, players will be available to explore and try to survive a frozen landscape whilst scavenging for supplies. Battle hordes of the brain-dead with over 25 unique weapons and skins. At launch, there will be the main story mode and a survival mode where you must see how long you can survive against the ever-increasing waves of the zombie horde.
It’s time to arm up and immerse yourself in the battle. Play A Dead Guy Called Dave’s Demo on VoxPOP for a limited time until January 6th, 2022. Visit VoxPOP Games for more information.
