Game Concept and Story
Z Day is an Online 3D FPS Zombie Survival game (also known as a "MMOFPS"). Players are thrown into the centre of a post apocalyptic city after a deadly virus outbreak has occurred. Furor city, once inhibited by the human race, now is home to thousands of blood thirsty infected humans on the prowl for any remaining survivors?
With the virus enhancing the physical abilities of the infected, players will be no match for them if playing alone. ZDay will require excellent teamwork, bravery and skill as players attempt to survive in the infected-filled city.
Players will have to work together to clear out buildings, search for supplies, barricade doorways and survive. Barricades can eventually be broken, so hiding in one building with only a few supplies will not turn out pretty in the end?
Players will also have an element of RPG styled gameplay as strength and hunger levels will be present. Strength reflects how much players can carry in an inventory and the speed in which they will be able to travel. Carry more ? travel slower. Players will have to run the risk of leaving items behind or work as a team and share supplies amongst each other?.The possibilities are endless!
Just like any other human, hunger is an important stat players will have to keep a close eye on. Failure to keep energy at a suitable level will cause speed reductions and will impact the survival rate a player will have out on the streets. A slow and sluggish player is no match for a sprinting, hungry infected being.
Players who unfortunately get bitten or mauled by the infected, or come in contact with infected blood will slowly notice the way their character behaves changes. Unless players can find and use an anti-virus in time, the infection will take them over and they will lose control of their character, as it inevitably becomes one of the infected.
As well as other players and the infected you will find other characters, some friendly and some not. Some will help you, some will hinder and others will simply try to kill you. Use your survival instincts, build a survivors' base, form a search party to go out on supply runs for food, wood, anti-viruses, weapons, more survivors etc. Gather up, meet friends and work together for survival...Teamwork is a must...
The game will be in released in four stages, each stage will be a game in itself. Each stage will involve taking the previous stage and adding more to it - working up to the final stage which will be a full MMOFPS.
