I have an idea for a zombie game

[Bwog]

Dead Frontier, a browser based MMO, fits that description pretty well. Its a top down perspective game though. When I read your post I imagined a 3rd person game like RE4 lol

Ghengis, your game exists. Its a flash game, Go find it on Kongregate.

Interesting. Mind pointing me towards it? I've heard bad things about kongregate and I'd rather minimize the amount of sites I open there.

It might not be the right one, but this might be up your alley: http://armorgames.com/play/12009/the-last-stand-union-city

The hardcore mode has required food and drink.

I've got a better idea for a zombie game. You play as a member of a Spec Ops team dedicated to hunting down and eliminating anyone associated with the development of zombie games.

It's not what I was picturing really but it's pretty nifty.

Can anyone come up with something that isn't zombies these days?

You clicked on a thread entitled "I have an idea for a zombie game." and you wanted to see something other than a zombie game?

If you're part of a government squad, then shouldn't it be squad based?
Or will the player character be an agent operating independently?

They already made that game it's called Resident Evil 1-5 including the next one that's coming out...Not an original idea....

I have an idea for a game, and it's not about zombies

Well there ya go, CAW.

I didn't think it was, but it's got the survival stuff.

I like how it mimics the fallout special system. As well as the lock picking system of the elder scrolls/earlier splinter cell titles.

I like your idea and it doesn't seem hard to do. I also have an idea. As much as I think zombies have been done to death, I'd like to see a zombie simulation game. You start out in a metropolitan area at the start of the outbreak. You will have to manage your character's hunger and water needs and you may pick up other survivors who can lend you a hand but for whom you will have to do the same. Your survival strategy is up to you. You can roam with a small band or try to set up a bastion survivor community. You can roam the region freely. The longer the outbreak persists however, the worse the situation in the city will become. The game will push players towards holing up someplace, either in a fortified building, a courtyard walled off with shipping containers, a gated community, an abandoned house in the city or country side or maybe even a supermarket or mall you name it. Resources are finite wherever you go and you can order your survivors to do tasks like wall building, tunneling, item repairs or farming. You would have to keep everyone fed and hydrated while managing the growing zombie moat outside your walls with the idea being a focus on anti-zombie fortification and survival through minimizing exposure. Of course emergencies might occur like crop failure due to a lack of knowledge, an early cold wave that upsets winter heating plans or an outbreak of disease that would require you to plan sorties out of the fortress.

It already exists. It's called All Flesh Must be Eaten, and it's a tabletop RPG.

How about a game that has a "good/evil" approach. You're an intelligent zombie who is somewhat accepted by the scientific community and top secret classified by the government. On one hand you can aid the humans to find a zombie cure for yourself and destroy all zombies. Also you need to annihilate mutated zombie bosses/ artificial super zombies (when you kill bosses you gain powers). On the other hand you can turn your back on the humans to become the zombie overlord. Use gun you gain from human bosses to assist, limited ammo (of course), and armor. By the way your limbs can fall off from damage. You have to find another limb from another zombie or be face hobbling along with one leg. Attaching an object to your body so you can manage is also an option (of course attaching a table leg to your zombie leg or arm comes with a cost). You might have a team of zombies that you can control.

Which means that nobody has played it. Myself included. But even if it were exactly like what I was thinking of (which it couldn't be looking at the rules here which include Chinese hopping vampires, cyber punk weapons and... qi strikes?!?) table top RPG's are basically just a place to steal ideas shamelessly from for video game development.

I almost stopped reading at "A city has been abandoned after a zombie outbreak..." That, of course, being pretty much the setting for every zombie game ever, but playing as a government worker trying to clean it up is a right sight better than the usual standby of having the government being antagonist pricks or the ones who had started the whole thing all along.

You'd need to find some way to break up the monotony of a game based around working for the government and make sure it's exciting and fun and not just a walking-paced jaunt through a city with no people.

But if you managed that, I'd play it.
