ok great, well how would we go about doing this together.
im glad you two are interested.
the world does need a zombie mmorpg.
so i was thinking city scape
suburbs.
the normal zombie setting.
just put anything together.
im still getting used to this app.
ive never used it before
but im a quick learner
so im sure we can work something out.

We can coop edit maps by joining each other's server
We'll need to find or create some animated zombies to kill (obviously)
I'm sure we can turn them into one of the monsters in the game engine, though i haven't tried.
We have to figure some kind of story line and code it all in
or if it's just all out survival, make sure it flows well and make increasingly difficult maps
Quite the project :- )

well i am a decent writer.
im sure i can come up with a good basic storyline.
i mean it can be mostly survival.
we can have a couple big zones to start out.
and make expansions later on.
im hoping to make it somewhat like a lvl based game too
where people can run around in a huge city with random zombies and fight to survive.
and maybe we can have to kinds of classes. like military characters
where you lvl up in rank
and civilian characters where you lvl up in skill.
and maybe even make zombies a playable race.
but i know this kind of project will take some time
but im willing to put time into something like this.
im tired of fantasy mmo's
i think this idea will hit it off big with mmo players.
so lets get to work

if you are interested in helping too pizzalover id be happy to count you in

we need suburban and city scape maps.
pretty decent sizes. kind of run down looking.
fires on the streets. dingy.
bloody. anything of that nature.
flickering lights.
the works.
anything you want to incorporate is fine.
let me know your ideas.
thanks.

Perhaps a downtown sector?
Fighting your way down from the top of a *censored* and then into the industrial zone,
maybe a connection into a dark subterranean subway system? (Filled w/ the living Dead

)

i like these ideas drchef

good thinking. although i want the game to be free roam.
they are great area ideas though.
and i think we should definitely use them.
maybe even have an area like the outskirts of town with woods. and crashed cars.
but why are there zombies? we need to cover that aspect too.
there cant just be zombies for no reason. haha
we need to do some major brainstorming for this kind of project.
its coming along pretty good so far i think
