Author Topic: Arekan's Sad Zombie Survival  (Read 2359 times)

As all of you know, Blockland has recently gotten greenlit. This made me want to push my atmospheric limits to make something enjoyable for the player, and at the same time cinematic. This, is what I came up with.


THE SAD ZOMBIE SURVIVAL ( for lack of name! ) By the way, the video is darker than the actual gameplay. Darn you Vegas!
SERVER MECHANICS
  • Every sound in the game is muffled.
  • A sad, yet stereo/highquality piano loop plays in the background.
  • Players do minimal damage to zombies, requiring teamwork, else they will be slowly pushed back until they are all killed. ( not implemented yet, however this already happens when zombies are easy to kill. )
  • While running (hold rightclick for an unlimited sprint), you can sometimes hear distressed breathing, made by your character.
WEAPON MECHANICS
  • Guns randomize their pitch and stuff. blah.
  • Guns display a distant sound sometimes, there is a 10-to-1 chance of it playing said sound.
  • Guns can aim in/out, and have an ammo system.
  • While roostering your weapon if you've emptied your magazine, your character has a 60-to-1 chance of yelling out something, such as, "I can't take this stuff anymore!"
  • While reloading, your character has a 40-to-1 chance of saying something such as, "I'm reloading, help!"


By the way, if enough people say that they'd like to play this, I'll push myself to host a playable, multiplayer version that isn't passworded, aswell as maybe add an upgrade system, stationary weapons such as turrets, etc.

sounds really fun, depressing and atmospheric, but i can imagine latency giving you a hard time

With my interwebs upgraded, upload speed is about 2.0 mbps, it's quite alright. (lol accidentally put 20)
Even then it wasn't that big of a problem until I hit about 20 players.

seems p nice and atmospheric



it sounds less sad and more suspense

and you should use v8 zombies for maximum death because they're freaking invincible

Used your build in the video lol.


I need the zombies to keep the bricks tho, I can just make it so they have a bunch of health.

k then

and wow, thanks. i'm surprised snowcliff still is floating around out there.

I gave it a slight fix and modified some of it, made it work for my purposes. It's a pretty good build, I might even use the build on a TDM with the same mechanics but with less piano and muffledness.


I really wanna play this, it would make a neat RP (As long as you don't let any of those "i'm gonna be your son who didn't take no for an answer when he joined marines" in it

Also you should put quiet, distant sounds of people screaming or crying as if there were civilians running away or getting killed.

Or it could be nothing at all but a simple, sad survival.
