Independent Task

 

Game creation idea

2D

 

One to two weeks before the zombie apocalypse starts

Player get 2 or 3 main options but will have side options throughout the game

Per day the player can make 1 or 2 decisions before heading home for the day

Main options:

Spend last days on earth with family

Go to work to try and work on an antidode

Head into the woods/Prepare for the apocalypse before all hell breaks loose

 

Main choices

Spend time with family: the player chooses to spend their last days together with their loved ones

Choosing this option most way through the game results in the family all hugging whilst zombies surround their house and subsequently fall to the apocalypse

 

Going to work: Choosing this option mostly throughout the game results in their family dying whilst youre at work but you do save humanity and find a cure to save most people and eliminate people already turned, it is a rough few years but Humans live and repopulate the Earth

 

Preparing for the apocalypse: You have lost hope in humanity or the chance of a cure, you choose to look out for you and your family by finding an abandoned cabin far in the woods and restoring it and scavenging the outer city for weapons food drink and medical supplies to stockpile before everything goes to crap. Your family is killed off whilse you scavenge but YOU survive and that’s what counts

 

If the player finds the perfect mix of these choices they could find a cure whilst keeping their family alive or Work on the cure taking longer but also keeping your family safe off the radar and maybe save others too, Spending time with your family but also preparing makes for less stockpiled equipment but also getting your family to a safe place

 

Mini choices

Sometimes the player may awaken to banging on their doors either being a zombie or being survivors looking for a place to stay or help (If you help this person there is a small chance they will rob you or worse) (If there is a zombie you must fend it off or die and restart the game)

You can talk to co-workers and raise their hopes at work or they will lose hope and abandon work to try and scavenge to survive
