We are working on a sandbox co-op zombie game. We just added modular weapons! What kind of weapon would you craft?

Dec 20, 2018 5:12 PM

Some LAN co-op action. We can simulate several thousands at once over the network.

Concept art for some rifle designs.

A showcase of the modular weapon system. Captured from the Unity editor. We currently have many weapon types ranging from shotguns to SMGs, all with multiple mod slots, so you can balance your weapon properties just right.

_____________________________________________________________________

We want to make something along the lines of Project Zomboid, but with big guns and explosions, and with a progression system more like modded Minecraft or Terraria. As a summary the game will be about:

Online Co-op Multiplayer: team up with your friends, or go solo if you dare!

An open world: explore the world and scavenge it for objects and materials that will help you survive.

Crafting: use acquired materials to forge new weapons and armor or modify your existing arsenal.

Build your bases: build bases of operations where you will be able to craft, plan your next destination or simply catch your breath in between your encounters with the Infected.

Hordes of thousands: thousands of Infected can be simulated on screen at the same time. Make sure you have an escape route or enough ammunition in an encounter, otherwise your death is certain.

If you like where we are heading, I will be posting some useful links in comments for those who want to tag along!

Does that game have a campaign yet? I bought it right away when it was on sale but was hoping for a story-like mode before I dove in.

Naw, not yet, but they have custom maps, mods, and scenarios. Dunno when it hit, but you unlock new maps by winning on higher difficulties.

That game is SUCH a PITA but it’s also one that makes you go “I’ll get it next time” until you end up there for hours and hours.

Considering the type of game it is, probably some kind of sci fi laser weapon that can cut through several targets in a straight line.

I like how FTD does lasers. Just one "laserbeam", but you can turn it into pulses, beams, split shotguns, etc by adding modules in the path
