Happenstance Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Anyone heard of this? http://projectzomboid.com/blog/ Its supposed to be a Zombie Survival RPG. Similar crafting skills like Minecraft to build items. Apparently there is no end to the game, its just playing until you die and then trying to survive longer the next time. Its not properly out yet but ive heard you can buy a copy now like Minecraft during its development. Project Zomboid is a Zombie Survival RPG. Here are some of its planned features: Retro-isometric style with plenty of zombie insides thrown in for good measure. A massive city and the surrounding areas to traverse, explore and loot. Open-ended sandbox world – survival is your only goal, and we’re sorry to tell you… you WILL die eventually. Get infected. How will you spend your final days? Will you have a heroic moment of self-sacrifice, or end up chewing your best friend’s throat out? Meet other survivors who you can join forces with, trade with, undertake missions for, or fight with for resources. Loot, salvage, and build what you need to survive the apocalypse, from food and medical supplies, to weapons, even just booze to help get you through the nights. Advanced item crafting allows you to use looted items to build weapons, traps, defenses, and many other things to help you survive. Character progression. Learn skills and perks to help your character face the challenges of survival. Starvation, illness, loneliness, depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide, insanity, trust issues. There’s more to zombie survival than shooting zombie heads off. Join your friends and survive the apocalypse together in co-op multiplayer. The world changes the longer you survive; power plants fail, plunging the city into darkness and making batteries and tinned food prized commodities. The army rolls into the streets to perform ‘clean up operations’ and other gamechanging events occur the longer you survive. Play in your browser, or stand-alone, on PC, Mac and Linux. It will be released Minecraft style, where there will be continual updates adding new features, weapons, game-play and locations. You technically cannot ‘pre-order’ or purchase the game, but we do give it away as a free gift when you buy our other games! (There are reasons why it has to be this way. Read our blog for an insight)
flameboy Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Looks like it could be interesting but they are giving it away when you buy their other games? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me; Okay so we’re back up and running with Google Checkout. That is to say we’re back up and running with them because we are not selling pre-orders to the game any more. We ARE however selling three other games, that may or may not be a bit poo. However, their value is increased dramatically by the fact that you get a free bonus lifetime subscription to Project Zomboid when you buy these games. Here's a link to play a pre alpha tech build demo: http://cloud.projectzomboid.com/ EDIT: Oh my god look at the shit they are trying to sell for £5/£10 to get a subscription to zomboid; BUT this take the biscuit £15 for this; This exciting party game will see one player pit their wits against the crafty AI, trying to determine once and for all if the random number generator will generate ‘ROCK’, ‘PAPER’ or… SCIZZORZ! Then the only game that looks decentish (nice art direction) is free because and I quote; We didn’t want to charge for it, as it would seem like a rip off considering the quality games available above, but here it is anyway!
