Zombie Survival Game - The Old MillMrOrangeOh
You're trapped in an old furniture mill and hordes of zombies are advancing upon your position! Build barricades out of furniture, use your ammo sparingly, and above all, stay alive.

I decided I wanted to make a survival minigame, and that it would be a strategy shooter. The concept is pretty simple, you have to defend one position with limited ammo from an onslaught on enemies whilst staying alive yourself. Sounds like a pretty straightforward shooter, yeah? I think the real fun of the level comes from the strategy involved. You have a nearly unlimited of slowly-appearing furniture that you need to drag around and build into barricades to stop the undead from killing you, or destroying the building you're in. But to drag stuff around you need to drop your weapon, and who knows when the next supply of ammo will arrive? A barricade may prevent the zombies from destroying you or the building, but if you build them sloppily they can do more harm than good by blocking your aim.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or comments on my level, and I'd especially like to know of any bugs you come across so I can squash them. I've also got a question regarding a feature I know the level needs but I'm unsure how to make it:

At the moment, every 30 seconds or so a box with a paintinator spawns, and it disappears after about 10. Each sackperson gets 50 shots per spawn. The problem is that with 4 players they get 200 shots between them and the game is far too easy. I need a way to change how many shots each player gets, or even limit it so that the weapon can only be picked up by 2 players and the other two must fortify the position and wait for the next ammo spawn. Can anyone give any suggestions?

What you can do is make it check how many players there are before the game starts, and then make more or less zombies accordingly.2009-07-09 03:04:00
