Some community plays before ZPG comes out

vector — Sat, 18 May 2013 18:05:03 -0500

So I know for a while we had events on the Steam page, but why not bring that back. Just leave a game and date in the description and lets try to do this.

in game evidence

devilx — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:23:18 -0500

ok so you know how games like resident evil and doom 3 have files and recordings and pictures about why there are zombies and demons everywhere, or what happened to the other people?

i think this game should have stuff like that

Playground Fun: Mini-games and side challenges

t3dd13 — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:06:22 -0500

Juggle Head

Zombie head dropped from a chute into an empty classroom. The players have to keep the head from touching the floor.

Competition version: Friendly fire is on stun for 1.5 seconds. Each person who tags the head gets one point. Try to collect as many points while stopping your opponents all the while keeping the head up in. Consecutive hits generate more points in the form of a pool.

Capture the Flag (with the HOT LAVA twist)

The floor is hot lava, touching the floor on the map will automatically teleport you back to spawn point. If you have the flag at the time, you teleport back. Throw in a few zombies and boobie traps for more fun.

Mecha in the Middle!!!

Each player will have a computer part the Robot NPC needs. It is armed with weapons which will stun the players. The idea is for the players to survive or keep away from the Robot NPC. As each player is eliminated, the robot will get a part back allowing it to "upgrade".

Competition version: Each player has a part and will generate points as a part is held. A player can attack another for his/her piece generating more points while the character robbed of their part will stop gaining points. Mecha can steal parts for upgrades. Game ends when mecha gets all the parts.

LETS ORDER SOME FOOD EH?

Ripster7 — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:17:52 -0600

Sooooo just a suggestion... There should be a cafe an you could use the trays as weapons or throw food an stuffff??
Whats your guy's an gall's thoughts?

Weapon Levelling or Upgrading

t3dd13 — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:09:22 -0500

I'm just curious if this option will be available. TBH sometimes I like certain weapons because of it's design or stat bonuses or it just looks like what my character would use but would inevitably abandon it for a stronger better one. Wondering if we can abandon that cycle a little and give certain weapons a little more longevity by allowing us to level or upgrade it.

More towards the level side than the upgrade though.

Getting low on funds eh?

Ripster7 — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:10:04 -0500

Soooooooooooooooo you guys will be getting low on funds at Massive Black eh?

You should have another KickStarter!

Damage Type Variety

Speedy — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 00:45:45 -0500

Is there going to be one formula for damage calculation or will there be multiple damage options with their own defensive stats?

For example, some games have physical damage and magic damage with physical damage reduction and magic damage resistance while other games have one damage type and they might have a damage reduction stat.

Notable Insides

Konshu — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 18:15:33 -0600

Not sure if you guys wish to disclose but I am curious about some inner workings of the game.
1) GameEngine used
2) Zombie mechanics, are they going to free roam, do they hive up (one detects a person the hoard goes after them.)

I will leave it at those two basic questions for now.

Fan Characters

HotokiChan — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:41:18 -0500

I feel like making one, I think others should too. Even though the game hasn't even come out-//otl
But for fun XD we can compare and stuff
Edit:
FINALLY got mine up
Katherine "Brat" Adam
Age: 11
Gender: Female
Weapon/Item Type:
Squishy Punch Ball
(Upgrades)
-The Ball Hardens
-The Spikes become real and Sharp
-The Ball becomes larger on impact.
-Sticky Hand Upgrade, used for slapping and slinging around Zombies into other ones.
-Ball is put on fire, causing it to cause more damage, a burn effect.
Nickname: Brat
Brief Description:
Katherine is the meaning of Brat. She's absolutely adorable to her parents, and because of this. Gets alot of what she wants. She wears the face of a bully, and in a way , is a sort of bully. Her parents aren't rich, but she doesn't really want all that stuff that is out of range. Mostly Candy, toys, etc. She has anger issues when she doesn't get what she wants, which is why her parents got her the punch ball. To relieve some of it when she didn't get what she wanted. She is gifted with slinging it around because of ribbon twirling when she was smaller. (Will be edited every now and then)

Soundtrack!

amneesiac — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 11:33:47 -0500

I was thinking the fans could suggest the soundtrack for the game.
I'm going to suggest Riot Rhythm by Sleigh Bells.

You can suggest your own songs!

Have a listen to my suggestion!

Fan Character: Creator

reaperskull — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:20:40 -0500

So this is my fan character. Please don't hate me. I couldn't find my first draft so I wrote it again. I'm trying to draw a picture of her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Victoria
Age: 11
Eyes: Dark Brown (become Purple during attack)
Hair: Dark Brown (become White during attack)

Weapons: Any type, attacks with monsters vary with a certain weapon.
Attacks:
-Stab: Arm is cover with demonic flesh blade and quick stabs at enemy.
_Slash: Arm is cover with dflesh and swings at enemy/ies.
-Smash: Demon arms grow out of Victoria's back and slams and ground. Crushes and staggers enemies.
-Barrier: (only if surrounded by enemies) Demons cover Victoria and spikes shoot forward around area. Hits zombies but not survivors.
-Berserk: (can hit both zombies and survivors) Vicki become a spinning tornado of blades and arms.
-Tantrum: Becomes a demonic entity and attacks with blades and whips.

BIO: A child with overworking parents and a huge imagination, she doesn't know how to use social skills so she lonely most of the time. She decided to make ideal friends with her mind, having adventures in her own little world. But since the Zombie Apocalypse her mind hasn't been the same. All her creations became monstrous and has somewhat leaked into the real world and became the Horde. One being in particular that represents the Horde and was Victoria's first creation became a power seeking monster named Nocturna. The army wants to kill and they're willing to drag Victoria in whether she likes it or not. But look on the bright side: She may make some new friends... and enemies.

Nocturna: Was once a happy and heroic character called StarFlower, Victoria's mind shaped her into the demon we know today. Nocky gives Vicki advice whenever she needs it for battle or trying to get a boyfriend. Norturna tells Victoria that she can gain sanctuary by destroying all the zombies. But she's lying, what she desires is to turn Victoria into the ruler of the new world. The thought of being bound to a weak child sickens her.

Comments Anyone?

Spam Bots

Speedy — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:31:55 -0500

This game isn't even in alpha yet and there have been several spam bots sending advertisements or fishy links to many of our members. Is there a way that we can at least delete their comments on our profile pics?

There also needs to be some way to deal with spam bots in the future when the game is released.

ZPG Game Trailer

nicholas300 — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 06:23:31 -0600

It's a month until ZPG will be out, I am just wondering if there would be a ZPG trailer before the game comes out when i was browsing steam and watch some game trailers, or maybe it is already in the works lol. I am looking foward to it :)

Pickup Weapons

Speedy — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:06:16 -0500

"Closed Alpha will be a Single Player Survival Mode... There will be different weapons/items (with varied stats) scattered randomly throughout the map for pickup."

Will there be a pickup weapon system (like Quake) in some modes on launch, or is this just a place holder in the closed alpha due to the lack of an inventory system?

"Final Inventory System will not be implemented upon Closed Alpha release."

I'd really love to see this (the weapon pickup system) implemented in the release (PvE and PvP). I loved PvP games with pickup items when I was younger (UT99, Perfect Dark, Killzone, ect); it is not as common in games anymore.
