Zomband: A zombie roguelike - Games

[QUOTE=Estacado]Got my ass kicked.[/QUOTE] Should've rested more often :excited:

Holy fuckshit I did not notice that. :uhoh:

This is mad fun when you get the hang of it. Is the map randomly generated? And it seems the zombies have an "Out of sight, out of mind" thing going. If they don't see you duck into a room, you're fine.

Yeah, I think it's randomly generated, to an extent And yeah, the zombies are stupid, but in a fun way; their AI isn't just "move towards survivor every step," because, think about it, you'd get raped very quickly. Glad to see some people are getting the hang of it and enjoying it! I wish it was open-source so we could add onto it.

This game is bad ass. Armed myself up with a hardhat, trench coat, chainsaw, and a fire-poker. Hacked my way through the city for about five blocks, then encountered a swarm with about 30. Ran into a building and cowered behind the door for the two seconds it took for them to get it open. Started a new game, got a bow, it kinda sucks but I went pretty far.

So far I've got a motorcycle helmet, baseball bat, and a load of food/drink so if I run into a bunch, I try to break the line of sight and duck into a room. Work's pretty well. Anybody ran into zombies with weapons, like spoons and shit? Or the canines? Those scare the shit out of me, even though they're just... y'know... letters. You fuckers are preventing me from completing my research paper. Thanks :v:

It would be amazing if you could grab multiple items and such piled together in one-tile all in one turn, instead of getting one, stepping away from it, and picking it up again. It's worse yet when it's all of the same thing, like Cola or Water.

If only the interface was better. Great game though. [b]Edit:[/b] Any people know how to survive the first few minutes?

[b]Edit:[/b] Any people know how to survive the first few minutes?[/QUOTE] Find a weapon, preferably a Fire axe. 9mm is the most common bullet, and comes in bulk amounts. I held off a building with about 30 zombies flooding in a doorway, 100 9mm bullets and an MP5.

It's impossible to survive in this game, when you get too tired you can never hit with a weapon, and it's impossible to rest because more and more zombies keep spawning.

Level up a bit, find good supplies, and rest, because resting is easy. Also, be sure to close doors/barricade yourself in while resting.

Finally made it out of the city. :) [b]Edit:[/b] :uhoh: Don't stay in the fort in the suburbs too long. Monsters attacked it when I was resting.

[QUOTE=Resto]Finally made it out of the city. :) [b]Edit:[/b] :uhoh: Don't stay in the fort in the suburbs too long. Monsters attacked it when I was resting.[/QUOTE] What I do is rest with the R key for 50 turns at a time, once my AGL gets maxed out. That way, I'll usually see something coming.

Epic roguelike.

Hey, just like Dwarf Fortress! :v:

I wish someone would have told me that your save is deleted when you die. :( I was about to quit for the moment so I saved and rushed into a group of zombies.

[QUOTE=takua108] Also, this game needs weapon/armor damaging/breaking. Once you get a Fire hatchet, it's all over.[/QUOTE] It was nearly all over for me. Your weapons [B]do[/B] break as I just found out with my precious Fire Hatchet.

[QUOTE=Estacado]I wish someone would have told me that your save is deleted when you die. :( I was about to quit for the moment so I saved and rushed into a group of zombies.[/QUOTE] It's a roguelike, what did you expect, mercy?

Help! I'm trapped inside a tiny shop with like 20 zombies outside! I just have 4 apples and 18 water bottles!

[QUOTE=scout1]It's a roguelike, what did you expect, mercy?[/QUOTE] Meh, i've never really played one.

I couldn't even find a good weapon. I almost got surrounded by zombies and killed but then I remembered my grenades. Of course, I died of dehydration.

I made it like 4000 turns and found some pretty decent weapons, then it crashed when I threw a grenade.

Awesome. First thing I did was find a sports shop, now wearing assorted sports equipment, I defended myself with a bow for a while, ran out of ammo in a school building and had to beat a zombie to death with a ruler!

Is there any way to edit it so that I don't need to eat a box of doughnuts every 10 steps?

Press "c". ...I think.
