Hi Gamedev,
Myself and a friend have been developing this game for the past few months, it's called Drop Dead Zed, and we were hoping for some feedback on what we have so far...
We both appreciate a few screenshots isn't exactly much to go off, but the game is still very early on in development right now so any input would be appreciated
(Full size images)
Our main features so far are:
-Dynamic lighting and shadows
-Dynamic visibility cone, allowing realistic field of view
-Indoor/outdoor weather effects
-Client-side physics with basic network integration
-Multiplayer with client-server architecture, allowing for dedicated servers.
-Lootable and wearable items with drag/drop inventory and hot-bar system
-Networked shooting and player damage
-Built-in map editor
It's still quite early but our long term planned features include:
-Crafting and item combination system
-Hunting and survival system
-Server-based persistent worlds and player characters
-Player base-building
-Barricading and building fortification
-Destructible environment and explosives
-Roaming zombies and dynamic AI
-Player controlled vehicles
-Dynamic events
-Dynamic day and night cycle
Currently we've been working on developing the main engine and editor, and we have a small test map which we've used for the screenshots. We're aiming for large scale maps in the future, with a heavy emphasis on multiplayer and survival.
While we're not releasing anything playable yet, we do have a twitter account which will update regularly @ http://www.twitter.com/_DropDeadZed
We'd appreciate any ideas and suggestions - thanks for reading!
