Zombie Pandemic - A new free UB inspired game

[zpandemic]

Hi all

We are a small team of Urban Dead fans currently working on a UB inspired browser game. Check it out if you like at www.zombiepandemic.com

(What is) Zombie Pandemic?
Zombie Pandemic is a browser based zombie adventure game currently in development by a group of independent developers from Copenhagen who all share an interest for games and particularly George A. Romero cult movies.

The Storyline / A storyline is spreading!
The details of the storyline have not yet been disclosed but will include a classic zombie plot using a virus as an excuse to turn the streets into a zombie infested danger zone.
As a player you are one of the survivors who will have to make it to the safe zone aiding other survivors and without getting eaten by the zombies. The game is free PPBG (persistent browser based game) similar to games such as Urban Dead, Travian and Gladiatus. The Zombie Pandemic storyline will be just like the virus - spreading in a rich, ambient environment that YOU and your fellow survivors create.

The zombies are brought back to life with rich illustrations and rotten soundtracks. Feast your eyes on acclaimed illustrator Rune Bødker's creepy imagery

Game Features / Much more than hack'n'slash
Other aspects which makes Zombie Pandemic different is the fact that the game will feature enriched RPG elements, including advanced combat, a skill tree and use of realistic navigation on a real world map which will consist of hundreds of locations offering even more game events and quests in a rich storyline.

The MMO Approach / Massive Outbreaks
The project has been underway for 8 months and is expected to be another 4-5 months before the game launches. What makes the game concept fascinating is the MMO approach allowing several thousands of gamers to be part in one big zombie outbreak scenario.

Hrmm. So, are the zombies in this game NPC's, or players like in UD? And, if we have to make it to the safe zone, surley that gives the game confirmed ending and therefore a finte playtime.. well, unless ya expect us to keep on starting over like in Left 4 Dead.

And, your newsletter signup needs updating for the new year =p

Too... many... acronyms...

*Is crushed by the sheer number of them*

To be on topic, though, I think I'll give this one a shot when it comes out. In terms of gameplay, when you say "inspired by UD", what does that mean? As in, you navigate around a persistent map?
