Realistic?  Most people have a general idea how their town is laid out.  Granted, the zombies will wreck the place, but you should still know where the local supermarket is located.

[Soulwynd]

I know it's a pipe dream, but an online version of this would be incredible.  Fifteen or twenty (or more?) players on a server, scattered throughout the city.  Find cell phones and coordinate, try to meet each other somewhere.  Get turned into a zombie and hunt your companions.

If more people show interest and provide me with a server, I can make a mud like that.

I guess I'll wait for a newer, more stable release. I looked into the issue I was having and everything is updated, from net framework to directX, and it refuses to load. Too bad, I've been looking for something like this for a while now.

Any tips on finding food?

[Ringmaster]

Find a shopping district, look for grey walls around a building. Find the door, if it has pictures of groceries on the front, go in and hope nobody's beaten you to them.

Note: Trying to find somewhere that can resize these images.

Something, that I never got to see, butchered an entire biker gang just down the street from my safehouse.



Presumably that very same thing killed an entire group of army guards (The green things on the floor are army rations, one per soldier. Whatever this creature was, and I highly doubt it was a zombie or even zombie master, killed nine soldiers)



Shown: Two bikers. Not shown: The rest of the gang in that room who were waiting to ambush me. I ran for my life, straight in to a group of national guardsmen, who I hung around with for a while. Later on, I tried to take on a biker gang using only a baseball bat. Surprisingly, I was almost successful.

Those disciple things are really annoying, they keep breaking my barricades and killing me when I hide in grocery stores.

[Mono124]

Yeah. I just found 3 shotguns, 3 pistols, and 2 hunting rifles. I am going to gear up, find one of those military outposts, and kill them. Will be a bit easier to defend I am assuming. I will then build a small army.

Disciples are BEAST.
One hit full health with char armor on, and unloading shotgun blasts.

My current run went a bit awry.
I managed to find a Char building that was broken into. I found tons of dead CHAR guards, from disciples I'm guessing. There were medkits everywhere. I decided I would stockpile these medkits into a nearby safehouse. (I tried to make a safe-house in every district I visited.) It didn't go over that well. The 2nd run I had to escape from a zombie master and his mob, and got lost. I couldn't find my way back, and then midnight hit. I went into a house and blocked it off with furniture. Zombies busted through while I shot with my crossbow. I took down 5 zombies before they came in. I was low health, close to my last medkit. I go to replace the furniture and sleep. I wake up in the morning, 6 o'clock. Then, I find out I was just a couple tiles west of the safehouse I was going to use.

I really need my minimap fixed. 

[Mono124]

I just keep notepad open and put down the coordinates and district of my safe houses....

[Farce]

I made a narrow escape from a disciple just now.  Unfortunately, another one found me again while I was rooting around a completely wrecked house, looking for someplace to get some Zs.  It gave me a turn to pray before it ate me.

I'd traveled half across the map to get to that wrecked house, because I heard an army patrol was there - was hoping to find them and hide behind them for a while.  I found them, but they were all zombies. 

It's kinda weird how the crossbows are loaded with three times as many huge bolts as the guns and their tiny bullets, but whatever.

As fun as "Permanently running for my life forever" is, I think I'm gonna turn it down a bit.

[Mono124]

Anyway, something like this that is multiplayer would be great. The only problems I have the the A.I. on this game is that they are fairly stupid.

[Megaman]

Well, RS crashed earlier today, I've destroyed every trace of it from my system and tried to reinstall it, but whenever I try it says the application could not be launched. Any ideas?

Spoiler: 'On the run' Part 1 (click to show/hide)

I woke one morn with my friend who seemed in a panic.
I asked him what was wrong, with a look of concern on my face.
The news anchor on the television had just announced total quarantine of our city. I was devastated. He said that the infection that was just happening in the Business districts had broken free of CHAR's control. They closed their doors to everyone and the entire nation is on high alert.
There is no way out of the city. "How will we survive?" I sat down on my bed, completely flabbergasted. I felt like I was just smacked in the face! Those corporate monkeys just condemned us all and they won't do jack shit about it. I looked at my friend, who was now packing several things into his pack, some Red Bull, A bag of food, and his personal firearm. He tossed me a cell phone. Told me it would be useful, and that I should call him if I find trouble. I was just about to get my stuff together when I heard a moan. A sharp, hoarse, raspy moan. One that sounded inhuman. A being held together by mere ligaments and driven by a crazed hunger burst through the door and lunged at my friend! He screamed at me to kill it. I did so with a spastic kick to its head, knocking the skull off. I helped my friend up. He suggested we head to the nearest grocery store and get as much food as we can. He had always been a fan of zombie horrors, so I didn't question it. I hope to god we make it out of this somehow.

This is just something that sparked from my mind. I may or may not continue.

Find a park and get spraypaint.  Spraypaint all over the walls of your safehouse, the tags show up yellow on the minimap.

I hate the new zombies, I hate the impossible difficulty, but I love everything else about the new version.  Darnit.

The one thing I would really like to see from this game? DF adventure mode style persistent world.

Generate a world, play a character, character dies via zombie. Create new character, enter same world, encounter same (now legendary) zombie.

I think that would make this game epic.
