Update on expected beta launch

zombiepandemic — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 20:08:19 +0000

“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.

Dawn of the Dead & Land of the Dead

zombiepandemic — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:50:06 +0000

Yet another heat of zombie movies and more inspiration for our upcoming title. 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 thus highly recommendable. Though one can’t point the few corny aspects which is simply part of the genre out – we rather want to celebrate the cool aspects. A part from Dennis Hopper in the role of the villain, we particularly liked the idea of how the survivors had to plunder the stores for supplies in the unsafe zombie infested zones of the city. Our game producer loved the opening scene of X where the Y arrives at the once friendly suburban neighborhood which has turned into a dead zone full a mayhem and gore. Check it out:

Zombie Pandemic Press release

We have been asked by a couple of other blogs for a press release… well here u go. Please feel free to spread the infection by using part of all of it as you please

(What is) Zombie Pandemic?
Zombie Pandemic is a browser based zombie adventure game currently in development by a group of independent developers from Copenhagen who all share an interest for games and particularly George A. Romero cult movies.

The Storyline / A storyline is spreading!
The details of the storyline have not yet been disclosed but will include a classic zombie plot using a virus as an excuse to turn the streets into a zombie infested danger zone.
As a player you are one of the survivors who will have to make it to the safe zone aiding other survivors and without getting eaten by the zombies. The game is free PPBG (persistent browser based game) similar to games such as Urban Dead, Travian and Gladiatus. The Zombie Pandemic storyline will be just like the virus – spreading in a rich, ambient environment that YOU and your fellow survivors create.

Gore In Legio
The zombies are brought back to life with rich illustrations and rotten soundtracks. Feast your eyes on acclaimed illustrator Rune Bødker’s creepy imagery

Game Features / Much more than hack’n'slash
Other aspects which makes Zombie Pandemic different is the fact that the game will feature enriched RPG elements, including advanced combat, a skill tree and use of realistic navigation on a real world map which will consist of hundreds of locations offering even more game events and quests in a rich storyline.

The MMO Approach / Massive Outbreaks
The project has been underway for 8 months and is expected to be another 4-5 months before the game launches. What makes the game concept fascinating is the MMO approach allowing several thousands of gamers to be part in one big zombie outbreak scenario.
