What is Zombica?

Zombica is a Zombie RTS that focuses on survival after the zombie apocalypse. Players will be focused on the construction, maintenance and expansion of their haven. Below are some key features of the game:

- Players have to manage both simple worker civilians as well as leaders who have special traits and abilities.
 
- The perimeter of the haven is a point of constant contention with the zombie infected. Players will have to design, build, and maintain their perimeter to protect the haven.
 
- Survivors will need to be fed, sheltered and provided with healthcare to maintain their morale.
 
- Most of the materials that players will be collecting will be based on salvage obtained from the environment. From building materials to food to tools to weapons, players will need to set up repeatable and efficient systems to get salvage from the surrounding areas. Those items that are not salvaged might be collected from nature, grown, or obtained through crafting.
 
- Crafting and manufacturing will allow players to create and upgrade items to enhance unit's abilities and strengths. This is accomplished at a high level utilizing manufacturing facilities that are manned by civilians.
 
- Securing additional territory from bandits and zombies to expand the safe zone requires careful planning and resourcing. And with a persistant day/night cycle you'll have to make sure that advance warning systems to alert the haven of attack are set up.


We're still in the development prototype phase and are looking to launch in late 2013. If you have any feedback or want to check out the website feel free to check it out: www.zombica.com. We would love to get your feedback on our Fan Forum and through our polling system. We look forward to bringing you an awesome zombie survival experience.

Cheers,

The Doctor

Lol. Indeed this is an actual person and actual project that is in development I apologize if I seem "botish". Thank you for the welcome!

Been looking for a game like this for some time.  This bears watching 

[zombica]

Sweet! You will be happy to know that Bears will be in the game as a predatorial animal that you'll have to fight as well

We demand a link to a dev blog, screenshots and possibly a video or two.

Other than that, sounds great, welcome aboard mate.

Fake edit - totally missed that there's a link in there.

[zombica]

Yes yes yes. We above anyone want to see a video of the game published. But there is a strong desire to represent the game as at least roughly what it will be. So far the dev blog is what we have, screenshots and videos should be coming over the next month. We're trying to line up that with our marketing efforts that will be kicking in at the start of our Kickstarter campaign (and yes I know everyone uses Kickstarter these days

Sounds a bit like a realtime version of "Rebuild" 1 and 2.

[Knight of Fools]

There's been a distinct lack of Zombie RTS's on the market. You've got my interest.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Sounds like a great concept. Would be great to see some videos when the game development reaches the stage at which you can showcase the features.

So bears are going to be in the game, what about zombie bears? Will I be able to play as Bear Grylls and run a show called Man vs Undead?

[zombica]

I think Bear Grills: undead survivor is going to have to be an achievement in the game. We'll create a special npc character that you can rescue that grants the achievement.

Sounds interesting...  watching.

Classic. Please make him drink his own blood and eat his own brain.

Was going to textually yell at you, but this actually sounds like my kind of thing.  I await pics/videos.

[Supercharazad]

You should have the rivers all contain deadly zombie-carp. Who can crawl onto land.

[zombica]

Zombie carp that is a very unique idea. We are going to have hunting and fishing in the game so it is possible. That would be kinda creepy though I'm not gonna lie. Of course this is a game about surviving the living dead.
