What to do in a zombie attack

Update on expected beta launch

“Zombie Pandemic is currently in development. We are scheduled for launch ulimo 2008.”

A little vague maybe, we were considering a beta version in December 2008. I’m not sure this is possible though, keep in mind this is something we are working on in our spare time so any deadline may slide. We are currently adding some people to the team, so maybe we can still make it for December, but somewhere in Q1 2009 is more likely. Remember: I’m not making any promises here.
I hope this helps a little. And I will try to remember checking for posts here in the future.

Another heat of zombie movies and more inspiration for the upcomming zombie game

This time the homework consisted of some more recent Romero classics including Dawn of the Dead and Land of the Dead. Both movies are pretty awesome in several ways and comes highly recommandable. Though one can’t point the few corny aspects which are simply part of the genre out – we rather want to celebrate the cool aspects. A part from Dennis Hopper in the role of the bad guy. We particularly liked the idea of how the survivors have to plunder the stores in the unsafe zombie infested zones of the city.

 

Our game producer loved the opening scene of Dawn of the Dead where the once friendly surburbian neighbourhood has turned into a dead zone full a mayhem and gore.

28 days later and 28 weeks after

Part of the project involves wacthing all the classic as well as more recent zombie movies. Our game producer watched “28 days later”and “28 weeks after” the other weekend. If you like zombie movies and particular Romeros movies these are definetely worth checking out too! The movies do portray the zombies in another manner than in Romeros universe as the infected are victims of a rage virus. Nevertheless these are great movies which we can highly recommend:

Zombies in Plain English

We found this video and thought it was pretty fun not to mention excellent to explain our parents what a zombie is.
