VamyreLord Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I hate to break all the excitement and jolly, but how can this system work with this game? Like if I suddenly encounter a bunch of zombies and have to deal with them one by one, wouldn't this be a mess and a chore? I really like Fallout and XCOM classics, i really do but this is not why I'm playing Project Zomboid for. Well, thank goodness this is only a mod and you're not ruining the core mechanics of the vanilla game. "wipes forehead" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah it would be like, less zombies, but tougher, probably. And more focus on NPC combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, thank goodness this is only a mod and you're not ruining the core mechanics of the vanilla game. "wipes forehead" I don't think "ruining" was the best way to put that. I know i sounded harsh, but maybe because i love the original game concept so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmy101 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah and this is a personal mod project so frankly you're being a bit nasty coming on and poking holes in it on the pretense of 'oh thank god this SHIT isn't in vanilla' if you did that to another modder you'd be looking at a potential ban hammer, so cool it. For what it's worth the game that you apparently love was co-designed by myself, so perhaps I know what I'm doing and I've considered these things myself (in fact had the same concerns about Dead State) and have plans to avoid the issue.

Guest Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 To be honest I do like some turn based games (dungeon crawl stone soup, civilization series, and many more I want to name but cannot remember at the moment)So, am positively looking forward to thisI heard you had worked on a Sims 3 mod too with Binkers?

Psymong Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Zom:Com!This is a great idea. Didn't even realise the mod system was flexible enough to allow this sort of thing!Now my head's full of ridiculous ideas of a management sim mod... Good luck with this! can't wait to give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead State? I thought this game was cancelled! ..."searching Google"...oh well I need to kill the one who told me it was anyway.December it is, to witness a turn-based zombie RPG at first hand.

"wipes forehead" *sigh* Well the real motivation would be for 2 player vs mode. But yeah it would be like, less zombies, but tougher, probably. And more focus on NPC combat. You'll need to bring back the taunts from the old fallout games - E.g.: "Crap ... that's the second time today" (NPC getting shot in the groin ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"wipes forehead" Much like you're supposed to do in the normal game, rather than take out every zombie, you run.We could also look at wide-area attacks and defenses, if you'd really like to, Lemmy.

SilverDragon Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Sounds like it could be quite interesting lemmy and would add a whole new demention to the game, will work well as a optional form of combat <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I see that Lemmy leveled up from 'Legend' to 'Total Fucking Legend'. I'd totally missed reading this and stumbled across the thread today and just... wow. Turn-based Zomboid? Yes please! Will we be able to see things like "Zombie was hit by a targeted shot to the groin for 978 damage. Ouch."? Plus, I smiled to see someone other than me has played Laser Squad.

lemmy101 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Goes without saying that progress on this is zero at the moment with the Steam push and all, though here's a little taster of my initial fiddle ons with it (check the date) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbapfLBJ9-I Gammlernoob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molleby Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Ooooooh... pretty! I daresay this calls for a Necromunda Mod. Groups(gangs), zombies(mutants), etc. Lemmy, have you had any thoughts about multi-level shooting and cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
