A word of caution...

Sounds better than many games I've played, on a serious note (compared to the rest of the thread) there needs to be more games where you play the antagonist.. If nothing more than something different, I know it's not a new concept but it's not often done..

 

I enjoyed Infectionator. Is a simple browser based game where you try and destroy the world with zombies. But as browser games go, it wasn't bad.

 

Oh snap you stole my idea that I stole from an indie game on gamejolt

 

There was a mod for Counter Strike years ago that played like that.

 

The old FPS Creator sold zombie arms/animations you could use for your player so I guess you ripped them off!

 

Link to the build or it never happened.

 

Not surprised at all, in fact I'll bet if I spent about 10 minutes searching, I could probably find a dozen or similar games. Way more than that if counted unfinished/indie/noob projects.

It was a one-day prototype/jam. We joked that side scrollers and zombie games not allowed, I was teamed with our art lead and he half jokingly suggested that we should do a zombie game where you played the zombies as a twist, and we laughed about that and just did it. We couldn't think of any games that had done that before, but didn't spend any time actually looking. It was all just for S***s and giggles. Actual originality wasn't goal, more just to build something that we personally hadn't built before. It was basically a muscle building excerise.

 

Definitely won't publish a build. But if I can actually launch the project with minimal effort, I'll post a screenshot or.vid. (It was done in something like 4.3ish, and currently don't have anything sub 5 on my machines anymore. )

 

Dying Light's Be the Zombie mode (released Jan 2015) totally stole that idea from you!
