I am currently waiting for Valve to give the "greenlight" on trading cards for Dark Rising. As soon as they do, 5 trading cards will be released. The five trading cards will represent some of the units in the game:
- The Ghost
- The Golem
- The Monster
- The Zombie

20th of Ocotober, new Release Date
Dark Rising's release date will be pushed back from the 13th to the 20th of October. The reason behind this decision is to deliver a game that is as bug free and polished as possible. During the next week I'll be play testing to make sure all the current features are as smooth as possible.
Thanks for understanding and see you guys on the 20th for some good old fashioned zombie killing. If you haven't already, please add Dark Rising to your "wishlist" or follow the game to keep up with all the updates.
