They die too easily. Lots more soldiers are in the works, and we're working from low to high cost/benefit. For now, have fun with the challenge of survival, one of the many things essential in good zombie media.

 Re: Zombies '09
K, and while you're at it, the FABAR-1A seems to have a slightly too long reload time, just saying, because it's pretty frustraing sometimes.

 Re: Zombies '09
I'm hoping a generic scene or activities will be included soon.

 Re: Zombies '09
not next version, but its in the pipeline. we have a lot of modules and actors to sprite, and a lot of scripting on top of that. the resistance are heavily improved in the current dev version, and will have even more substance after we get the trenchmen working. for now, i'll just get the current stuff a little nicer looking and release.
On a more subjective note: if anyone wants a part time scripting job, some work on the AI would be appreciated. i can only work on so many things at once..

 Re: Zombies '09
I was looking in the files and those tunnels look wonderful and I love the witch. I have a unit request since the Engineer can modify zombies a bloat that explodes seting the ground and nearby actors on fire would be awesome!

 Re: Zombies '09
there will be superzombies at some point and i already have a superbloat drafted (though it needs a lot of refining) the witch will also make zombies explosive and fiery, which will mean there are fiery bloat explosions, but a tier 2 bloat could be a good idea. glad you like the tunnels.

 Re: Zombies '09
I have to say, this is one of the more enjoyable mods that have been released as of late.
I love the "overwhelmed" feeling you get when playing this in Skirmish. Nothing is more terrifying than an army of raging zombies running down towards your base on Pointy Mountain.
Overall, great mod. Keep it up. :3

The witch was also painful, I hate animating (And she was also my idea, I dug my own grave D:). Anyway, TONS more stuff coming in the next version.

I am sure you two have your own wonderful idea's but I would like it help if I can, I can make scenes with custom materials and more than likely new backgrounds but not Lua I am afraid  "and maybe scene objects like cars, light posts with working lights and other stuff if sprites for them are made"(I would more than likely use some of gotcha!'s stuff if allowed)

Hmm, I hope it's like that behemoth from Castle Crashers.

 Re: Zombies '09
We're not really trying to recreate stuff from other games, though the witch thing sounds like it could be fun. There was a left 4 dead mod going someplace, maybe the creators of that would be down to incorporate your idea.
A big part of the idea-generating process is doing new things with zombies. Things that haven't been explored, we're changing the game so to speak. Without making it sound like a bad movie trailer, forget what you know about what a zombie game looks like. We're expanding and rethinking a lot, but also tapping into the things that have always made zombies scary and awesome. It's difficult for me to contain the specifics, but i think you'll all be intrigued by what we're putting on the zombie-canvas.
So, keep an open mind, and keep the ideas flowing. We consider every single one, and i'm glad you guys like the mod. Next release is gonna kick some ass.
