  1. Introduction As you may know from a few weeks ago, there were some plans for a novel zombie survival gamemode for GMod, which would replace the current one. Unfortunately, since I was the only one working on it, time was sparse and I barely got to prototype some primitive gameplay. In the following paragraphs, I'll describe some of the things I've gone through with this project. The Catalyst The idea started from the fact that the current gamemode has been through a lot of changes and can't further cope with modifications because of its increased complexity and quality of code. Not only that, but the gamemode itself was getting duller and duller by each update. The difference between what's in my toilet before flushing and the gamemode's code and rules is non-existent. Concepts When I started working on the new mode, I thought of some crude concepts of how gameplay should .. play. One of them sounded like something out of The Walking Dead series, but it didn't live long until I realised I was just complicating the game and confusing the player. So I took something that already existed, was fun and challenging to play -- Killing Floor -- and added some features of mine. It sounds like this: human players spawn as usual, with a customized loadout based on their chosen class. These classes are four in number and are nothing like the old classes (different types of rewards, achievements, balancing etc). Just like Killing Floor, the game is divided into waves of increasing difficulty. At the end of each wave, there was the thought of adding a boss. After the final wave, the players proceed to the escape area. So where's the zombie players? I've replaced them with NextBot zombies. More over, the maps are specially modified for the gamemode, so there aren't any glitchy physics or unreachable areas. The zombies are unstoppable, .. well, actually they are. You can barricade, BUT WAIT! Remember those times where you had to move props and nail them to create a barricade? What a frustration! This mode uses pre-deployed barricades, similar to those in Call of Duty: Black Cock- I mean Zombies. This means that when you've gotten enough resources (you can gather special resources in order to solve different problems) to build a barricade, you can simply barricade a room. Oh yeah, and zombies can attack the barricades. Did I mention the weapons are also customizable? I almost forgot, hats. Lots of them. The Problem Okay, it sounds somewhat fun. So what's the problem? Currently, development has a very low priority, because I can't focus on developing long-time projects anymore. It seems that I'm going through a mid-life crisis and even though I would love to see this gamemode in action, I simply cannot. I was thinking of forwarding the concept to somebody else, but I don't know anybody who has the same vision, can be trusted and is skillful enough -- NO, NECROSSIN, I'm not going to create an elephant just so I can get its metatable -- so it's in a rut. That's kinda it. Maybe, maybe, on a sunny day, I'll start making real games, but that time hasn't come yet. Braaaaainnss
  2. How is this scary since I already know whom I'm going to "meet"? I thought Amnesia was scary because: You had only one lamp with limited oil (although more findable oil)Mechanics of darkness (audio and visual cues when standing in the darkness too much)Unknown enemies along with visual and audio cues when getting closer (includes the living flesh, devouring everything in its path)The restricted environment, giving you the feeling that there is no escape (especially the dungeons, oh god)The loading screen (the initially non-sensic text, the baby-like picture and the music)Being alone

  6. Hammer sucks. It should be able to nail, unnail and repair the nails. Nails should have health and the barricaded props shouldn't take damage from human players, once nailed. You should be able to buy nails from the supply, ammunition crates/shop, although a little more expensive.
  7. Guys, as much as I'd like to have a revamped version of Zombie Survival, it's technically impossible and weeks of work to bring back the old version. You'll just have to embrace the current changes.

  10. Hi. I was wondering when you are going to post your topic to explain what you're struggling with. Hopefully it explains some stuff for me. Thanks
