Some LAN co-op action. We can simulate several thousands at once over the network.
Concept art for some rifle designs.
A showcase of the modular weapon system. Captured from the Unity editor. We currently have many weapon types ranging from shotguns to SMGs, all with multiple mod slots, so you can balance your weapon properties just right.
_____________________________________________________________________
We want to make something along the lines of Project Zomboid, but with big guns and explosions, and with a progression system more like modded Minecraft or Terraria. As a summary the game will be about:
Online Co-op Multiplayer: team up with your friends, or go solo if you dare!
An open world: explore the world and scavenge it for objects and materials that will help you survive.
Crafting: use acquired materials to forge new weapons and armor or modify your existing arsenal.
Build your bases: build bases of operations where you will be able to craft, plan your next destination or simply catch your breath in between your encounters with the Infected.
Hordes of thousands: thousands of Infected can be simulated on screen at the same time. Make sure you have an escape route or enough ammunition in an encounter, otherwise your death is certain.
If you like where we are heading, I will be posting some useful links in comments for those who want to tag along!

There was a game like this with flash a long time ago and I loved it.

You're probably thinking of Crimsonland, there's an updated version: https://store.steampowered.com/app/262830/Crimsonland/

Honestly, I love it.

Looks interesting

Donny Jepp. What a name.
iamfarha
Yes please!
Earthpie
Feels a bit like crimsonland, but the modular weapon system is a good twist there
omglolbah
Was thinking the same thing.. Need to replay that one
VigorousButtstuff
So when does the Battle Royale mode come out, since you're doing the trendy-stuff-from-three-years-ago thing?
Peynus
Maybe NPCs who can follow you? Also, what is this game? I'm piqued.
FarNorthEntertainment
We are trying to figure a name out! But follow our mailing list and all the updates shall be yours! http://farnorthentertainment.com/signup

With the way enemies seem to pop into goo. Operation:Splatter Zone
Dionysus187
sigh, isometric. Good luck, though.
FarNorthEntertainment
There are loads of great first person games in the genre. I can help recommend some if you like. :)
SuzanoSho
Rocket propelled chainsaw that explodes into millions of omnidirectional lasers upon impact. Make it happen!...
FarNorthEntertainment
Millions? Someone want to calculate the odds of hitting yourself with 5 million distributed laser beams over a sphere from 50 meters? ;)
SuzanoSho
NO COMPROMISES. Oh, also, the gun uses the souls of the damned as ammo. Going for "subtle", here.

When do you go to alpha and can i get a key?
FarNorthEntertainment
When the game is enough fun for enough time! We will most likely pick testers from the discord when that time comes.

Dead Nation says hi.
ksherretz
Looks exactly like Dead Nation. Not my thing. But good luck regardless OP.
FarNorthEntertainment
Thanks. I am sure there are tons of games that will fit your taste :D

I'm thinking combi-weapons like in 40k. A pistol with a plasma shot in it
temposaur
Classics: slow and accurate pistol. Shotgun to shoot multiple bullets at once. Un accurate machine gun. Rpg. Flamethrower.
FarNorthEntertainment
Most of them are already in there. Rpg and flamethrower would be AWESOME. I want burning zombies now :O
SnipeTheArtist
Frying pan.

Now that’s what I call balls of steel
ThePowerOf42
And lead
PopeyeTheSailor
only has 12 rounds
OhLookNobody
Flamethrower!
Nitrobskt
Then you have fire zombies, way to go noob.
RicFIair
I require something that werfs flammen.
Denare
Considering the type of game it is, probably some kind of sci fi laser weapon that can cut through several targets in a straight line.
Denare
Maybe it fires slow or has limited ammo to compensate.
FarNorthEntertainment
Sounds like late-game tech, and frigging awesome at that!
HorseMcFucker
I came here to suggest exactly that. You can have an early-game variant that Is basically the XBow from KF1. A crossbow that shoots 1/2
breadedfishstrip
I like how FTD does lasers. Just one "laserbeam", but you can turn it into pulses, beams, split shotguns, etc by adding modules in the path
FarNorthEntertainment
This is exactly the plan with the modules. Changing the barrel could have this effect!
HorseMcFucker
sawblades at very high speeds, cutting down a large-ish lane of enemies for some earlygame crowd control :) 2/2
FarNorthEntertainment
Half life 2 inspired! I love it! If they stuck in walls and stuff after firing would be a neat feature as well!
HorseMcFucker
Yeah, exactly. Or you could have a Grav-Gun like thing (Maybe a hook?) That can fling envorimental objects at crowds like dumpsters.
slothbossmcgee
Reminds me of boxheads. What a fun game.
FarNorthEntertainment
That game was awesome during recess when I were in elementary!
Deltethnia
Reminds me of Smash TV.
PirateofthePancreas
Not much of a weapon type, but a drill/ chainsaw to plow your way out of a corner would be cool
erwanairone360
Emergency chainsaw :)
FarNorthEntertainment
You can blow walls with explosives. Maybe not the best plan when you are too tight though... A chainsaw would be satisfying as hell!
radwinter
You could make it an emergency escape means type. Unlimited ammo but with a cooldown that's too long to use it as main weapon. It carves a
radwinter
Tunnel through the crowd, wall, vehicles,etc blocking you and you can get back to shooting
PirateofthePancreas
oh i didnt even think about that! i meant through zombie swarms
AeternalDreamer
Let us build traps! Chainsaw/sawblade traps, machine gun turrets, flamethrower traps..
FarNorthEntertainment
For sure! That sounds awesome!
AeternalDreamer
Keep up the good work, I love zombie stuff.
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
Traps .. ever watch Ghost Ship? Remember the cable that cut all the people in half?! Traps like that!
AeternalDreamer
Oh, how about buildable walls?
FarNorthEntertainment
You should check the latest devlog that came out today. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9aWS7oRvX4
BlackElkSpeaks
Ohhhhh man this looks GOOD! Getting a bit bored of They Are Billions so this couldn't come any quicker!
necessity
Does that game have a campaign yet? I bought it right away when it was on sale but was hoping for a story-like mode before I dove in.
Tyggna
Naw, not yet, but they have custom maps, mods, and scenarios. Dunno when it hit, but you unlock new maps by winning on higher difficulties.
Gomunk
That game is SUCH a PITA but it’s also one that makes you go “I’ll get it next time” until you end up there for hours and hours.
BlackElkSpeaks
What % difficulty did you beat so far?
TacoDr
Tetris was the last game I played..in 1997, but I would play the shit out of this.
Zach387
Well, what about the games you’ve played after 1997?
FarNorthEntertainment
This is touching, man. Thank you!

You're missing out a lot in the gaming world. Like. So much.
TheRealGoddamnLochNessMonster
You went 21 years without playing a single game
BlackElkSpeaks
Really? That's kind of amazing tbh... So this whole time you haven't been tempted by any of the amazing games that have come out?!
TacoDr
Zero temptation.. I guess it doesn't help that adulting takes a lot of my time.
TacoDr
I've tried to play console and Android games. I just can't do it. I'm old ?
SquidJesus
I play games religiously, and to be honest, you're not missing much.

If he enjoys it, does it really matter? Enjoy your life. If playing games brings you enjoyment, then do that.

To be fair to only things that aren't a waste of life are scientific advances, because nothing else lasts.

As an old man too, and IT guy, I prefer spent time in coding than playing, when you know how the motor works you prefer tune it than driving
mcstreetz
I hit age 30 and this became me. I played so many games before but can only get 20 minutes in anymore before I go crawling back to the code.
erwanairone360
You're on the good way :)
DetectiveSloth
Same thing for building PC's honestly. Build a massive gaming rig only to play in settings and stare at temps.
erwanairone360
I have builded many too, but now (for the last one) I choose the hardware and a friend of mine who have a PC shop build it for me.
DetectiveSloth
I tried that this time around and they refused to do what I wanted. Then when I took it in for trouble shooting they broke the glass panel.
