Dead Reckoning - psychospacecow - 11-29-2013

Now, I apologize in advance if this is against this area's rules, I wasn't really sure if it would be or not, but I've been helping out to make a game on this site called GameSprout for a few months now. I'm posting because its been a little slow of recent and was wondering what people actually thought of the game, you know, past the people actually working on it.

Its a zombie strategy game called Dead Reckoning.

The story centers around The Greek Angel of Death, Thanatos.

This is a mock-up of the intro writing.

Long has he, The Angel of Death, brooded since his humiliation at the hands of the warrior god. Having been confined mortal in the eyes of men, Thanatos was forced into seclusion in the deepest bowels of hell with his brother, Hypnos, but unlike the fool he lived with, Death does not stay content in eternal rest. It must cause devastation when it strikes, changing the tides of power in its wake. a relic was passed unto the mortal realm as Thanatos worked, and unto the world his curse lay, years upon years passing. In the coming years, Thanatos took sport in placing "hints" as to the relic's location, so that the power or fame hungry who he so easily could manipulate would seek it. On June 13th of 2014, an archeologist, humanity's great cartographer of the old world, stumbled across Thanatos's plan. This is where you come in, dear lordly lich. For it is now that the apocalypse begins.

My job has been character design and story work.
I'm not the only one who has been doing such, but I'm the only person currently working on it. I'm posting more than just my work. You can tell because I'm not so great at this.

Humans
Zombies ( a little gruesome )
The only person who's been doing programming is Rpunako, the guy who actually owns the idea. Here is our most recent demo.

Its still in Alpha at the moment so its not uber-polished or anything, but its there.

Its not really at that point yet, but if you've ever played Majesty, we're planning on making the zombie system similar to how bounties worked, where the horde acted on its own but you could place priorities as incentive.


Here's some details on the special zombies, aberrations, and other factors that affect units.

So, thoughts?
