Games
Unturned
Unturned was Smartly Dressed Games' previous main project, but is still being developed alongside its sequel Unturned II. It is a zombie survival game, and originally started as a browser game before moving to Steam. Although the game was developed solely by Nelson, the game has featured various community-made content in the form of curated maps, cosmetics, and skins.
The game has gone through three distinct iterations: "antique," "classic," and "version 3." The game is available from its store page, and community features can be easily found through its community hub.
Unlike its first two iterations, version 3 features Steam Economy integration in the form of random daily playtime drops, a Community Market, and a developer-ran item store called the Stockpile.
Through a partnership with Tencent Games, a Chinese version of the game is developed by Hong and operated by UU.
Unturned II
Unturned II was an upcoming sequel to Unturned, and would have been a free-to-play survival game available on Steam.
Deadzone
Deadzone was created by Nelson Sexton as a game on Roblox in 2012. It is considered the spiritual predecessor of Unturned, and is no longer able to be played.
