Taking Your Ideas (And possibly a hand-drawn thumbnail) For a ZS Game

[Fergo]

(Ye idk which category )
Anyway…

I’m making a zombie survival game, with inflated effects, looting time, attack time, and endings (exclusively for when you get bit).

For the format of…

Roles

Role Name
A 1 or 2-word description of the role (optional)
Difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10
Buffs and/or Items (At least 1)
Debuffs (Max 2, at least 1)

NPCs

NPC Name
NPC Looks (I’ll try to make it with barriers if not an existing Gim)
NPC Purpose (Crafting?[State what resources] Quest? Services?)
NPC Reward (Crafted Item (Time or difficulty scales with rarity)

Thumbnails

Title: Zombies On Midnight Bunker
Summary: Zombie survival game where you explore, gather, defend, and possibly get endings
Setting: A modern town, with a castle-style wall made of mud or stone bricks, or wooden planks, preferably set at the bottom left corner
Gims: Shadeborn (Optional), Sketch, your own custom Gim, all on the wall, while custom zombie Gims are rushing the wall
Actions: Shadeborn raising a wooden staff, calling upon a beam of green on a few zombies (Optional), Sketch drawing holy water tonics being thrown onto zombies, and your custom Gim doing whatever it desires :D
Author: Fergo :D (<- Use the :D too)
And you MUST put your name/nickname to credit yourself :)

Can I get a pleaseburger cheese? oh-

I will tell you if your idea is invalid or unrealistic, no offense :D

All thumbnails/ideas due May 9th

Have fun, my little fergs :)

[MINIONS_GG]

One pleaseburger is coming right up.. wait a minute, that’s not right-
NPC name: Minions
NPC purpose: Leads you around places
NPC gim: Cell snap gold
NPC reward: Blaster, legendary.
Sorry if this isn’t right I just used a third of my brain cells today..

[Epi320]

NPC Name : Epi320 (can i do this. if not, do “Will” a very simple name. )
NPC Looks : Kynami, or brain in a jar, but if they dont fit, do party lama.
NPC Purpose : Tutorial, or Quest:
Quest: Retrieve 18 Power Crystals to forge a powerup. This powerup is called “Bezerk”
(how do u spell it?)
Increase: Speed, Damgae, and Ammo. Drain Health. Make it so that if you touch a teamate, they also take damage, because bezerking sometimes accidnetally hurts ur teamates.

---

Role Name : Overlord
A 1 or 2-word description of the role (optional) : A old lord, that used to ruuuuullllle the worddd…

Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

right, focus.

Difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10

Difficulty??? Arnt u supposed to be able to choose this role, and use this loadout?
Oh well, i would make it a 8/10 for difficulty to fight against, and a 6/10 in difficulty to use

Buffs and/or Items (At least 1)

Buff:
Overcharge : Increase Damage, and a little bit of speed. MAke the screen look foggy (basically, make a player scoped barrier [0.6 alpha] and make it cover the map, making it hard to see)

Smokescreen :
Make a team scoped barrier (with collision) activate when this is used. the other team will not be able to see well, and will not be able to use gadget during this time.

Dash : Well, a dash.

Gadget : Twister (use a x0.5 damager if you think its too strong. i do not recommend, because then people will not be able to tell if they get a damage buff. this could be remedied by using a notifcation alerting the player when they get a dmg buff tho)

No heals. No Sheilds.

There should be regen for this, because of the debuff below

Debuffs (Max 2, at least 1)

Extremely Low Speed (this is ballanced by the dash)

The player starts with 20 ammo. if he wants to refill, he will have to sacrefice health.

Other players without this role have acess to a refilling station, but overlord should not. (after all, the king is too proud to talk with those peasants.)

[ST4RS_IN-A_JAR]

Yep, I’m just gonna do the thumbnail.

[PROGRESS/SKETCH!]:

Now, about those pleaseburgers…

[notastonestatue]

I would make two different posts, one for help and the other for a thumbnail.

@MINIONS_GG

Really interesting, Gru might have fired his minions again!

Will would be great! The berserker sounds like a barbarian from D&D

Sounds very ritualistic, the Overlord. I’d have to remove the smokescreen, because that’s a debuff, not a buff. The NPC zombies would break the wall. Man, Grammarly is having issues with all these quotes…

Ooh, love this sketch! What gadget is the Star Jar Gim using?

And don’t think I didn’t notice the tree. :)

Or is that smoke…?

@notastonestatue

I would make two different posts, one for help and the other for a thumbnail.

I’d figured that doing 2 separate topics would be harder to manage, but I mean ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@Just_A_Random_Kid

Role Name: Adventurer
Description of Role A mythical role super fast, low damage
Difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10: 10
Buffs and/or Items: 3x Speed, Common Wand
Debuffs: Screen is dark

Interesting, but aren’t regular adventurers supposed to carry a source of light? Also, adventuring is either 1.5x faster or 2x slower. Sorry, but if you can, redo this one?

@Just_A_Random_Kid

Role Name: Military General
Description of Role: Shouts Orders
Difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10: 5
Buffs and Items: Zapper (Rare), has a Pannel where he shouts orders
Debuffs: Movement Speed to 0.75x

Do the orders give buffs? If so, I might add cooldowns so they don’t grow too overpowered

@Just_A_Random_Kid

**NPC Name:**Naymia
NPC Looks: The Ninja Character Legs, Scaredy Cat Pumkin Hat, Normal Gim Body
NPC Purpose: Special Quest Giver
NPC Reward: New characters unlocked (Whichever you want)

Ooh, interesting. A class change, I see. Is that a custom Gim you want? Either way, very well done :)

[King_Thunder_Alt1]

Name: Count Cumulus
Description: Summon Lightning
Difficulty: 6
Item: Wooden Wand, Epic
Buff: Summon lightning lasers randomly every 60 seconds
Debuff: Condensation, is incredibly slow, .5x Speed

[Epi320]

@Fergo

. I’d have to remove the smokescreen, because that’s a debuff, not a buff.

Sorry if i did not clarify.
The smokescreen renders the enemy unable to see and use the gadget.

good luck on the project!

[King_Thunder_Alt1]

Name: Sargeant Sirath
Description: Summon Guards
Difficulty: 4
Item: Wooden Wand, Rare or Uncommon
Buff: Summon 4 Sirath Sentries to defend you for 20 seconds, cooldown of a minute.
Debuff: ¨Tis But A Flesh Wound!¨ Take double damage.

[Fergo]

No but like the zombies are npcs…

[Epi320]

AHHH.

Set all sentries to team [something]

Create Barrier for team [sentry team]

[Fergo]

Alright, smokescreen is back. Zombies won’t be able to hit the wall until the smokescreen fades. I love this role!

Oooo, nice redo. This guy loves leading!

@Epi320

(how do u spell it?)
Increase: Speed, Damgae, and Ammo. Drain Health. Make it so that if you touch a teamate, they also take damage, because bezerking sometimes accidnetally hurts ur teamates.

This feels like a nice moral, like “Sometimes trying to protect your friends hurt them” or smth like that.

@Fergo

, are you done with the thumbnail

Chill, I honestly haven’t made much progress, but I’ll try getting it done soon!

[Fergo]

Today will be the last day to give ideas! I really need to stop putting turtles in a bin and show them all during protest for the love of them procrastinating…

Summary

#turtlesareawesome

Oh, and ST4RS, I tried asking Gemini when to ask someone for something again…

[ArmoredHearth]

Role: Guard
Difficulty: 3
Items: Slingshot(Common), Pickaxe(Epic)
Buffs: Extra shield
Debuffs: .8x speed, .5x damage

[MonochromeDreams]

Role: Fool Us Once
For the hardcore players.
Difficulty- 7 (can be worked with)
Item - P.M.L (rare)
Debuffs - Less health, less speed…
