I like the fact that you allow the player to either be a human or a zombie, and the setup seems to allow for all kinds of gameplay possibilities. I would definitely try out a game like this!

I like the possibilities of this game, and a zombie game with a good physics engine would rock!

A couple ideas/suggestions that came to my mind:
- You might have to put a twist on the idea of being bitten so that “survivors” could stay survivors. A vaccine that could reverse the process, but make it difficult to acquire or to make (or you could even tie in a genetic immunity somehow).
- I dont think players should have to commit to being either a zombie or a survivor, but again I think the process to change should be very difficult.

I like the fact that this game idea gives the option to be a zombie. Most zombie games (including the Urban Dead game listed above) only give you the option to be the “good” guy. Well, being the good guy is over rated. I want to eat me some brains!

just so you know this game has already been created… actually, an arcade game you find on the internet and a videogame title Mark is right. I wish I could give you the props but this idea has been used more than once as a game.

This sounds an awful lot like Left 4 Dead…

Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned the no-graphics browser-based game “Urban Dead” in all this… I mean, it’s basically a browser-based MMO with zombies.

Uhm, sounds like you may need to pay some royalties to Kevan?!

Squidi published a more in-depth analysis of this idea a while back. He designed it as a text-based MUD, but a lot of the points could apply to this – especially the balancing act between the living and the dead.

I like it! But establishing the atmosphere of a zombie-apocalypse MMO is going to be tough, since you’ll have to deal with all the inappropriately macho players whose goal is to cause as much damage as possible. Unless Zombies have a significant numerical advantage from the start, the survivors will find ways to win.

I would like to say congrats on Morgan choosing your game, I’m just happy that my game had it’s name shown. You may also want to add (if this game gets made) additions from movies (like the mall in Dawn of the Dead or the house in Night of the Living Dead) to make it even more playable for the fans of a certain franchise.
