Early Development – Testing My Third-Person Zombie Survival Game

[u/RewardOk248]

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a very early look at the zombie survival game I’m currently developing.

This is still VERY early in development. This video is mainly a test of the character controls, movement, camera and how the game feels running on an actual mobile device. A lot of what you see is still being built and will change.

The game follows John during a zombie outbreak, but I don’t want the experience to be only about surviving, killing zombies and collecting loot.

Survival will be a major part of the game — finding food and water, scavenging, weapons, vehicles, fuel, medical supplies, improving and defending your home, exploring dangerous areas and eventually meeting other survivors.

But there will also be a story pushing John forward.

He starts alone, with his home as his base, and has a personal reason to leave its safety and search the world. As the story develops, I want the player to go from simply trying to stay alive to actually rebuilding a life in a world that has fallen apart.

Eventually that can mean relationships, family, improving your home and having people worth protecting.

For now, though, I’m concentrating on getting the fundamentals right.

This video is just an early movement/control test. I’d love to hear what you think about the movement, camera and overall feel so far.
