Post feature Report RSS Zpocalypse: Survival What Makes Us Different

Summary of some of the things that differntiate us from other games in the genre.

Posted by on

What makes us different? Zombie games are a dime a dozen nowadays, so why do we deserve your attention? Here is what sets us aapart from the rest:

  • 3D procedurally generated world – Every building and their combination to make up the world will be different from the last time you played all in 3D. No sprites here! (well at least not for the game world or characters)
  • Dynamic Stories & Events – While the game is not purely story driven there will be events and elements of story depending on how you play the game. Each event is built to compliment the area it is associated with, not just make each play through different. We want to bring the world to life. Our AI Manager will help to keep the world interesting.
  • Nuclear + Zombie Apocalypse – The Zpocalypse universe is one that isn't limited to zombies and scavenging. The world as we know it today is gone, but that doesn't mean that there is only one thing raising hell in the world.
  • Rogue-lite survival hybrid – When your survivor or squad dies it doesn't necessarily mean it is the end of the game. This gives us a lot of power as developers as we can put deadly mechanics in the game that would otherwise be unfair in a normal rogue like games. We want squad members to be important and cherished but this is the apocalypse and people die and stay dead - unless of course they come back as a new undead enemy.
  • Day/Night – There is only so much time in the day before the darkness comes and the real danger begins. With our Day/Night system you have to really decide how you want to handle your time and get ready for the night when you may be forced to defend yourselves from the hordes of zombies.
  • Base Building/Management/Defense – This is the yin to the exploration/scavenging plays yang. You are not just out scavenging to try and survive for yourself. Instead you have to try and build up a safe place. Somewhere that you can band together with more survivors and have people work to build a new community and survive this harsh world. You are not a superhero you will need others help to make it in this world.
  • Physical to Digital – Unlike most games that start from scratch or go from digital to physical eventually, we already have a physical game that we are basing our digital title on. This means we already have a great design base to start from, we already have an existing fan base, and we already have a LOT of story to pull from and expand the game into the future. Also as we expand the physical game it gives us more content to expand the digital game and vice versa.
  • Merging genres – We draw a lot of inspiration from our favorite games like FTL, Project Zomboid, Fallout, XCom and more. We are taking the pieces that we love in these games and bringing them together into a new zombie game we hope everyone will love!
