Would it be possible to create an "exclusion zone" for when an area is fortified. It means that you can move out and then go back into it for as long as it lasts (7 days I think?). It means people can be safe in their own homes at night so they cant be attacked. Perhaps, linked in with this is, you can stay in other fortified areas by people too?

Just a thought!

Was down in Athlone last night and managed to stay clean.

Nothing happening up here in Donegal at all. Need to get more people playing it somehow.

Ok so I've pretty much decided on where I'm going to go from here... and it will probably involve a reset for accounts... so there will be lots of fresh meat. It will probably be a couple of weeks (have a few days off work soon) in the making though, so I doubt there will be many updates to the current version. There will be no more straight infecting people, zombies will need to work a little harder, and I hope to introduce a new class of survivor (you will have to work for that one too). Fortified/inactive users will be hidden from the map. I'm also going to be a little more restrictive – going to do away with identifiers because of the amount of confusion (look at the latest review in the android market), and store encrypted IMEI numbers – which will identify devices and also stop users from creating multiple accounts on one device. There will also be some single player challenges, collecting weapons caches from your map, escaping zombie dogs, speed infefcting etc.. which will all count towards the main game. Also want in app messaging and notifications. Will take a little time to get these all done, will roll out new features incrementally. Thanks for all the support!

I love you

Sounds good to me theblacknight!

Sounds excellent Blacknight!

Just had me some Waterford brains, damn tasty they were

TFK

I need to get more people in my area playing, or get infected, all the infected people seem to be having fun LOL

Kells...

Lol signed up and I'm still not infected

Mars Bar

I let rip on limerick city! Only one guy evaded me having fortified himself. Have another guy in line near ennis now...

longshanks

There are a couple of survivors here in Waterford who have fortified themselves also. How does it work, once fortified do they remain that way indefinitely?

I think they do in that spot but if enough zombies attack them in that area together, they can get infected. I think.

Thats right. Will be changing that soon though (its a little unfair). In the new version survivors will have to cellect supplies to build fortification, which zombies can attack .. so if you want to stay safe you will need to make sure your safe houses are at 100%.

only saw this thread a few mins ago, needs more people around kildare though

At the moment, how many zombies are needed to infect a person in a fort?

Damn map put me in completely different locations just as I was gonna get the guy near Ennis...twice! I've got another shot at him tomorrow.

Assuming you are a zombie you just press on the green markers (survivors). They have to be within the range shown by the circle around you on the map.

Thanks, damn none in range of me but if I zoom out I can see people a lot further away.... guess I can't do anything unless there is someone in range

Did you start out as infected or are you clean?

Mars Bar

Ugh, this is pissing me off now!

Yesterday I was near two zombies but the map put me way away from where I was. I've only got two more attempts at the guy near the N18...

heepie

@blacknight

When is the new update coming out ? I've been literally looking at the market for an update few time a day.... I can't wait... Need bRAAAaaaiiiIInnnSSSs !!!!

ApeXaviour

Recommended minor update. The little information box that pops up when you click on a user outside your area... It'd be good if you could see (assuming they're zombies) if they're dead so you don't waste your time traveling all the way over there for a fruitless attack.

Good game btw!

They show up red if they are zombies and green if not don't they? Or am I misreading your post?

I don't mean zombie when I say dead, I mean dead-zombie
When I try to attack most zombies in my area it comes up "unable to attack user: This zombie appears to be dead, but it may walk again..."

Whoo, leveled up to 3 so now I'm a biter!

I just want to thank you for making this app. It has been a source of fun and the result of many hundreds of dollars out of my monthly budget for gas. My girl AshRox (on the leader board) and I have driven from Nashville to Chattanooga, Atlanta and Louisville hunting folks down. We have stalked people when they were away from the safety of the fortified homes and gotten them while at work. We caught 2 folks driving down i-65 not paying attention. We got a couple folks doubled up in there house not paying attention on 2 occasions. Last night I drove out of my way by an hour and a half to get a lone survivor in Spring Hill TN. Next month we will head either to Memphis or Knoxville and take our hunt their.

Why? Its a good way for us to spend time together and go places that we haven't been together. We discovered part of our own city that we never knew existed.

We click the ads to give support to what is probably our favorite game.

This has been a blast and I cant wait to see what new updates you have planned! Keep it up.

If you have been turned into a Zombie in our little patch of the world it was probably us. Your welcome! :P

Thanks,
A&Z

PS Attached is a pic of who bit you

seanybiker

That's class red. Nice one.

RedZot

Well thank you.

I was wondering however (yes I want on the leader board as well) what this game would be like in a gathering of people. How would this work say at a convention? There are a couple in Mid TN and then of course DragonCon in the fall (60,000+ attendees). Would this be a blood bath and what would survivors do to... well survive?

Hi RedZot.

Firstly thank you for your comments. I'm working on a lot of cool new features for the game, and they are all for people like you who are enjoying the game, and getting out there and making it interesting! Without players like you there would be no game.

Currently in a convention type scenario it would be a free-for-all, but with the new features I'm adding, things would be more interesting, and a lot more strategic.

Anyway, I'll be posting early builds of the new version here for people to try out once I have them stable ... some of the new features include an improved fighting system, it will take multiple hits to kill zombies/infect survivors. Planning to add real world locations like hospitals to improve interactivity. Improved fortification system .. you will need to gather supplies to fortify locations and a lot more will be coming in the future.

Thanks again!

Unfortunately I can't really put a date on it, because the amount of time that I can spend working on it varies from week to week. But as soon as I have some early stable builds I'll be making them available to people to test out, if interested.

bardus

Just wondering, I have friends with the iPhone. The zombie survival game for it has a lot of other things to do. For example, get weapons, find cures if your bitten, ect. Are you going to develope anything like that for this game?

Yep, there is a lot more coming. Interacting with real world locations (hospitals etc..), building fortifications, notifications all on the way..

The zombies seem to be few and far between around Limerick. I keep getting "unable to attack user: This zombie appears to be dead, but it may walk again"

Same people all the time.

Yeh that's a problem with the current version of the game, they are users that no longer play and are stuck in limbo... will be sorted in the next version.

My identifier doesn't work.

OK, my family home has no sign of any infected, so I'm fine, but Galway City has a lot of them. Damn.

Hey BlackKnight! I hear that you might be willing to do something with GMX. AshRox was sad when I told her we couldnt fly you in from Dublin.
