So I've always loved zombie games, I'm thinking about making a zombie game set in the 1970's

Some inspiration is from Land of the dead minus everything the movie did wrong like making the world look like it ended in the 1990's

Some interesting things the movie had was a fully functional microcosm with a feudal society where the rich run everything and enforce separation of classes, so economy still holds some sort of value even in the zombie apocalypse. It's an interesting concept in the sense you would hope people would band together but instead wish to preserve a mentality of the haves and the have not's, assassinate political enemies and execute the poor that riot, meanwhile zombies roam the outside.

One thing that was interesting but not really explained was in Land of the dead the zombies suddenly remembered how to learn and the movie focuses on them , would you care to have zombies that can learn ? Or just the zombies that are just trying to eat everyone

So what would you want in a zombie game ? Technology , location , types of zombies, would you want to focus more on factions or Individual characters with stats ?

Also I want to make a game that isn't 100% focused on updates I want to give players more freedom to RP and survive.

Feel free to give your opinion or thoughts.
 
A zombie game set in modern times (2015) would be a good idea. Preferably no learning zombies, but zombies that go from a fast shamble to a lwo stumble a week or so after infection. Seeing the collapse of civilization would be cool as well, also, would like the idea of it being set in Great Britain. Focusing on individual characters, but if people start to band up more on groups and then mini factions.

Yeah, I believe 28 days later was set in Britain, mimi factions could be established depending on how everyone gets along, having it set from the beginning would be nice to rather than start off with an already established base, another thing I was thinking was have everyone start off as civilian characters rather than military, have the military and other organizations NPC
 
Well, you could allow military members, but not commanders.

True, a few low ranking members, I believe having a few NPC characters would be necessary considering civilization is still collapsing , since Britain was mentioned I do believe London or Liverpool would be great
 
Could I be Prince William ?

Yes actually : ) cause I was planning to have the royal family in well at least the queen, although when SHTF the royal family will lose a bit of its power but they will always have the a lot of influence. I still want to have a majority of characters to play civilian roles, I will see if any of the guys from Forum of the Dead would want to play to, I definitely want to the game to be different and I already have part of a planed story for everyone to run around in
 
Can't really give any suggestions on how this would work, but I'd be interested in it if it comes to be.

Lol that's alright , glad to have you on board ^-^
 
Britain will be interesting, seeing how their police aren't even armed, meaning firearms will be scarce.

Well you could always rely on the military for protection :D

I don't recommend it ;-; priority 1 will be containment not rescue
 
I actually wanted to start a Zombie forum game at some point, much like Forum of the dead.

I even made a map of the Fictional Town of Abbeville, Washington.

Looks nice : ) and yeah seems like guns aren't in a large supply XD , pistols are mainly just used by organized crime and the military , Liverpool definitely looks like the location

I definitely want to say I'm interested.

I could help you Co-GM with some of the NPCs if you want. I would love to do some BBC news reports, their intro is catchy.

Tbh that would be perfect XD the news however will be lucky to survive after 2 weeks , The majority of the military will be NPC, and WW3 might happen in the background as well but will it be people vs zombies ? Or people taking advantage of others that are too busy dealing with zombies , hehe
 
Not gonna lie, a zombie outbreak would be favourable over having to live in Liverpool

Why you say that ? Lol well what about a zombie outbreak in Liverpool?
