We will only have up to seven eight players. If any player drops out a new player may join.





Movement -




Obtaining items - Items will be found on both dead zombies as well as interactive objects.

Using items - Items can be used at any time and in conjunction with an attack. If you need to heal before you fight a zombie, you just say "Use band-aid" and its effect will take place before your attack.


Skills - Each character will have a set of skills that they can choose to level up as they gain levels. To use a certain skill, just say the name of the skill you would like to use. For example "use bash on (x,y)" followed with the coordinates of the zombie you would like to use it on.

Leveling up - Any player who helps defeat a zombie will get an equal share of experience. Upon leveling up, the player will get to add to their skills and stats.

Dying - If you "die" in the game, then your character will turn into a zombie with half life. The other characters mus then kill you as well. You will not have control over this zombie. At the end of each battle, you will get your character back.

Dice Rolling - I will be using the on-line Wizard dice roller found here. All rolls will be recorded.


CHARACTERS:

Classes - Players will have a choice of three classes of characters. Players will have the opportunity to choose their own title such as gang member or fireman.

The Brute - With high strength, the brute was made to smash skulls and get into the thick of the fight. Specializing in melee damage and taking hits, the Brute is always on the front line of the zombie invasion.

Inventory - In addition to your characters natural abilities, they will also be able to equip an assortment of different weapons, armor and items.

Weapon: The weapons you can equip will be based on you character class. Brute can equip shields and blunt objects (Ex. Bat, crowbar). Gambits can equip sharp and bladed weapons (daggers, knives). The Marksman can equip any assortment of ranged weapon (taser, pistol). Each weapon will have a damage and range to it. In addition, most ranged weapons will require another item to use it (I.e. bullets).

Armor: Any class can equip any assortment of armor they receive.

Items: Any player is also able to use any type of item. Some items will have an immediate effect while others may last for multiple turns. Once an item has been used, it will be removed from the players inventory. A player may only hold up to five items at once, if another is obtained and the player is full they may dump an item to hold the new one. Items can only be traded to other players if they are right next to each other or at the end of each battle.

Infected dogs that fight alongside the all zombies.


Sprinter – Increased Speed/Critical Damage – Ravage
The Sprinter’s increase movement speed can be deadly in numbers. The Sprinter will typically find itself in the middle of a battle within seconds, dealing quick damage to players.

Tank – Increased Health/Defense – Throw
With its increased health and defense, the Tank can survive an all out slaughter. Along with its defense and health, the Tank has increased physical strength and has the ability to throw objects at players from benches to flipping cars.

The Spitter has adopted the ability to spit acid from a distance. In its exchange for being able to attack at range, the Spitter has low defense and attempts to avoid the fight.

Exploder – Kamikaze/AoE DoT – Burst
Destined on a kamikaze mission, the Exploder is a fat, bulging zombie full of acid. It will run into a mob of players, exploding on them, showering them with acid.

The Pummeler typically will rush into battle dealing heavy damage and try to disable player’s ability to respond. Knocking players down and back is a frequently used ability for the Pummeler and has shown to be devastating if left alone.

Jumper – Increased Evasion/Movement – Leap
Unobstructed by most movement impairing objects, the Jumper leaps over cars, buildings, other zombies and sometimes players in attempts to make it into the battle from anywhere on the map. The jumper has higher than normal evasion, which allows them to get into the thick of the battle and back out before dying.

Strangler – Increased Sight/Pulling – Strangulate
The Strangle utilizes its extraordinarily long tongue to pull its victims out of the battle and away from their allies. If a Strangler grabs a player and pulls them away from the group it could spell certain death for the player. However, they can be easily freed with simple damage to the Strangler.

Commander – Buffer/Protection - Dictate
Everyone has a leader, even zombies. The Commander stands at the back of the fight, sending orders to its solider zombies pushing their strengths further. Quickly dispatching a Commander is a good idea, as prolonged time on the battlefield only makes killing other zombies tougher for players.
















On my turn I healed, moved and attacked.

Please refrain from making any characters for now. We still need to complete skills for each character. Please feel free to discuss which ones you are interested in playing.

Wow this looks cool, well done.

Im not sure if will join in on this one though.

Good luck ^^

If you change your mind, let me know.

I'll be in, as I said I would be.

I think I'll try this out. One thing though, does the marksman get increased damage from strength? Because that doesn't seem to make sense.

It doesn't make sense but he does. Primarily you will want accuracy for the guns and rely on the guns natural damage.

For example: a pistol might have 6 dmg but 3 acurracy. So I roll a die 1-3 and if lands on 1 you miss. Putting 3pts into accuracy gives you a 1 in 6 chance of missing. Guns have the highest probability to miss. Strength will increase damage but you risk missing.

Ahh.. I see. I will probably end up going with a marksman.

Well, that's two people so far. I would like around six-seven to make it worth the effort and to account for the inevitable drop out.

Obviously, I'm in.

YEA!! that is three.

If anyone else would like to join, anyone is welcomed. If you have any questions about how it works or something you are unsure of, please feel free to ask. You don't have to be an expert at these games, you just have to like killing zombies.

As I said before I would like a few more people to enjoy this game and to make it that much more fun. Plus, the more people we have, the more zombies there will be to kill.

If we don't get too many more people. We might try to just do a level or two to see how it's working.

As time rolls on, Scyber and I invest more time and ideas into this game, with high hopes that people will be drawn in and want to play. Recently we created zombie types that the players will have to fight against. All material is subject to change and/or possible deletion. Feel free to give feedback on these as it will probably only make the game better overall.

Regular Zombie –
A typical mindless zombie.

Zombie Hound – Increased Movement/Damage
Infected dogs that fight alongside the all zombies.

Sprinter – Increased Speed/Critical Damage – Ravage

Spitter – Ranged/DoT – Vomit
The Spitter has adopted the ability to spit acid from a distance. In its exchange for being able to attack at range, the Spitter has low defense and attempts to avoid the fight.

Exploder – Kamikaze/AoE DoT – Burst
Destined on a kamikaze mission, the Exploder is a fat, bulging zombie full of acid. It will run into a mob of players, exploding on them, showering them with acid.

Pummeler – Knockback/Knockdown – Maul
The Pummeler typically will rush into battle dealing heavy damage and try to disable player’s ability to respond. Knocking players down and back is a frequently used ability for the Pummeler and has shown to be devastating if left alone.

I have to ask. Have you guys received a lot inspiration from Left 4 Dead, or does it only seem strangely coincidental?

Looks cool though. Diverse

Well, left 4 dead was awesome. If we "borrow" ideas from them, then our game is awesome.

Why was it awesome?
It was made by Valve. QED

Anyway, I've never played L4D, nor L4D2. It does make this game awesome

We could really use another four players if anyone is interested.

@shat- you should definitely try it. It is the only FPS I really enjoyed.

L4D was far too unrealistic for my taste. The fact that all of the zombies moved incredibly fast ruined the entire thing for me. I don't really like most of the special zombies, either.

Any ideas for them?

Quote from "ScyberDragon" »

Any ideas for them?

I meant in L4D, I don't mind them here.

Let's just hope we get another player or two so we can kill them.

Yeah, like Scyber said, if we can just get a couple more players, we can at least try some of the things out at level 1 or 2. If it works well with less people then we could always play it that way.
