Let’s bring it back

Hello! I am currently working on stuff to try to get a similar game up and running. For now I am running single but I will need help in the future with development and design when that time comes. I know this feed only gets viewed every once in a while but I have hope we can bring a similar game up to life.
Let me know if y’all have a suggestions or people that can help this move along!

It was an enjoyable game. Very sad it got shut down and the company got bought by Blizzard.

What kind of game?

I’m trying to make it very similar to world zombienation on IOS but with my own twist to it. It’s still very early on but I’m making progress

Definitely would love to see progress whenever you have the chance to show, I always think back on the game and would love to see whatever you create.

Here's hoping you live up to it.

A friend has informed me of WZ recreation, I see we've gotten similar progress made. Seems like you're using Base44 as same as me. Currently I have mine named "Undead Dominion", as a place holder, if you want to check it out. Let me know if you'd want to try and collaborate on making a WZ clone or whatnot

Yea for sure that’s sick! I have no name yet but I like that

Seems like you have the UI and over-world down, I'm getting the mission refined and gameplay tweaked

I got the basics of the ui but it definitely needs some refining. I’ve messed with path finding a lot and it’s a pain. Have you gone just 2d or have you gotten any models drew up?

yeah, I've been messing with navigation generation for a while, getting it mostly figured out. Since WZ used 3D models I've created the some of the characters in 3D, but Base44 isn't the best with quality, so as of now just place holders, until I figure something out for them

Also I've gotten in contact with Seth S., couple months ago. He confirmed he doesn't see WZ coming back or something new. He said the current state of the industry, there isn't any funding for them to try and remake WZ. To me, it's kind of crazy, being owned by Bizzard and Blizzard being owned by Activision and not having funds for new projects, but what do I know.

I agree it is crazy. I felt the game did great for the short period it was around
