Blocky zombie survival sim Unturned releases its source code so players can build a ’lasting legacy’ for the game ‘regardless of the changes we make’
Smartly Dressed Games has released the source code for its free-to-play zombie survival game Unturned, making it freely available to players and modders for non-commercial use via GitHub. The studio emphasized that this decision reflects the game’s greatest strength: its passionate community.
According to the developers’ announcement on Steam, the release enables players to pursue creative projects ranging from new features to total conversions. By open-sourcing the code, Smartly Dressed Games aims to ensure players can build a “lasting legacy” for Unturned regardless of how the game evolves under the studio’s stewardship.
The accompanying FAQ clarifies that the source code release is intended to further support community creativity and investment in the game’s future. This move allows modders and developers within the community to maintain and extend the game independently, providing stability and continuity for the player base.
