What is the time setting for the game? I mean, ik its a post apocalyptic city, but what happened to that city to make it like that? Or is it just one of those random no-story games?
And it might be a cool idea to put in some npc's that aren't zombies. From experience, games where you are the only sane person can get really lonely and depressing. Like maybe have some housed being defended, and will give you ammo or food or something if you go inside. Or maybe they just try to blow your brains out. Buuuuut, that may be pretty hard to do.
Edit: And maybe add food that you can pick up, either for health or a separate hunger meter.

Uh, you might find clues as to what happened, but other than that, no story.

No offense but in like 6 years of browsing lots of forums I can't really say I've seen anyone stay committed to a project as large as the one you plan on undertaking.
I suggest you start way smaller. Your choice though.

So like, could you post updates of what you get done. Not because I don't trust you but because I'm actually interested to see how you'll accomplish this.

Also. I love you.

And, it might be a cool idea to add NPC's with characters named after people on SPP (me) or your buds, to keep you more interested in the party.

Did I mention I love you?

Sweatily.

I don't blame you. I plan to commit to this one though.

Right.

If you plan on having a storyline and such it could go a little something like this;

A virus forms which replaces human blood with a sort of "zombie blood" the zombie blood makes the host have all the properties of a zombie such as blood lust, general weakness, slower reaction times, and slower overall mental capabilities. The virus can only be spread by a zombies saliva entering into the victims bloodstream, much like a Komodo dragon. Zombies can only be killed via a headshot or heartshot.
If you plan on having an endpoint to the game the main character could develop an antidote of sorts.

I'll think of more later maybe.
