Title change and new systems!


Hey everyone,

I'm very happy to share the new version of this game. It's still very early days, however the game now has a definite direction.  The game is now called Zombie-High and you play as a zombie going through high school. There's no art in the game as of yet but a bunch of new systems have been added to shape the game into something more interesting.

The current systems in place are

  • Brain cell system - Where you can add different types of cells to your brain
  • Categories - The different categories of brain cells which can be upgraded
  • Subjects/Actors - These are the subjects/teachers/students that you have to interact with. They also have an affinity system which can lead to you becoming closer (to people) and more proficient (in subjects)
  • Rot - The core idea that your brain is continuously assaulted by zombie-rot which if it reaches the center of your brain, it's game over, is now implemented. Your filled brain cells, can guard against rot, but the rot attacks do get stronger as the days go by, so you'll have to upgrade categories and use them correctly
  • Tests - Tests are basically ways to increase or decrease affinity with subjects/actors. In the future doing too poorly in too many tests can also lead to game-over scenarios
  • Other events - A couple of events like going on field trips etc have also been added to allow affinity increase (however if you don't have enough affinity to unlock the event you won't be able to participate in it)
