...That we should get a sandbox zombie FPS?
Conserving ammo, dismantling wooden items to build barricades, and looting for food?

[Comp112]

Yes, but I want to build, defend, craft, all kinds of stuff.

I want to LIVE!

[FluffyToast J]

...yes. Very yes.

[noah22223]

^{_{i like where this is going...}}

[Felius]

That could be fun. FPS or Third Person though. Multiplayer is a must.

Maybe using minecraft as a skeleton for the game (no pun intended), making a full conversion mod.

[FluffyToast J]

Actually, I dont think the Minecraft engine would lend itself well to a really good zombie survival game. Just the combat seems a bit iffy for that.

[Max White]

Why yes.

[IronyOwl]

Of course.

The trick would be actually making it happen- "FPS mechanics with Minecraft's feel" is kind of a tricky project, for a number of reasons. Add in the complexity of making zombies dangerous but not unfair and trying to make the map dynamic enough that it's not just "survive eight days, run out of food and die" or "enter house, loot fridge, next house until you get bored," and it's not hard to figure out why such an awesome concept hasn't been implemented yet.

It could be fun, kinda depends on the execution

[noah22223]

ohmyfuckinggodepicidea.
Ima make a roguelike based on this idea.
Now, with no programming knowledge wahtsoever...
Fuck that.

[ductape]

there is a roguelike based on this.

[noah22223]

Ive played it.
Boring.

[FluffyToast J]

Also the whole FPS thing. Roguelikes are generally not FPS.

[Phantom]

We could convince a major game company to revive Dead Rush or something.

[Bdthemag]

Yeah I heard that activision likes to invest in new ideas for ga- oh wait.

I doubt any game company would pick this idea up, it hasn't been done before and they couldn't really predict how well it would sell. But the upcoming Dead Island is going to be a first person somewhat survival based zombie game.
