Well I finally got myself the zombie pack. Having some fun with it.

I was thinking I should do a small game with this package before I go off into the big stuff.

I also picked up the graveyard pack, it seemed like an obvious thing to get.

The great thing about these models is that they are low polygon. So I figured, hey, why not have
a First Person shooter, with swarms of zombies as your enemy - like something out of the intro scene
from Lord of the Rings? That would be pretty awsome. Plus, zombies are idiots, you don't need to go in depth with AI coding.

Throw in some guns, flamethrowers, swords, baseball bats, chainsaws and strange scifi weapons, and you got yourself a crazy and fun game.

I guess that's a good thing about making a zombie game, you don't need to be serious - you can let your imagination and dark humor run rampant.

Who doesn't want to shove a zombie into a wood chipper?

I'd love to shove a zombie into a wood chipper. But honestly, I shouldn't get going on about zombies because I'll never stop. I've got work to do!

Don't forget running them over with cars or tractors :)

That is a creepy looking zombie. :-D
I'd love to run over some, but tge (out of the box) won't allow it. You just run thru it.
Sounds like a fun game tho. Good luck.
