Cubes and Zombies

Cubes and Zombies is a Fantasy Zombie Survival RPG game where you must protect a crystal in middle of the map and survive zombies attacks. As in any RPG, you keep leveling up, assigning stat points for strength, agility, intellect and develop your character by perks/traits/talents. Day and night have different tasks: during the day, the player tries to collect enough food to survive and some resources to prepare for the night when he must fight with the zombies. The player can build ramparts, watch towers, and so forth, to protect both the crystal and himself. Because I love cubes and randomness, you can expect randomly generated items and, most important, a changing world. I am not talking about a procedurally generated world like many games on the market but about something very, very different and, I believe, absolutely unique.

it might be fun, it looks kind of boring right now though. it seems kind of just like combining two of the most popular things at the same time without connecting them all that well. it could turn out to be good though, it just looks kind of boring. I'm not going to get that interested until there's more information about it

i've been keeping my eye on this one. excited to see how it develops.

what i'm most interested in is the ever-changing random environment. i've never seen anything like that before, it's a much different concept than expanding generation.

Seems like ace of spades 1.0: minecraft with guns & zombies

Though I do like the idea, is it free?

Definitely interesting in seeing how this progresses.

It seems pretty good. Is it free?

Public relations lesson 001:
Always have something worth showing, when you show it.

This game looks like crap right now. Much to early to raise money for it.

They're not kickstarting are they? Oh, I see (article on IndieGogo)

A lot of the Indie Dev community are stepping on their own toes with all these kickstarters and donation-drives for a lot of lackluster or in a lot of cases ridiculously simple games.

I've been a hobbyist game programmer since I taught myself Basic on a Commodore 64 when I was six years old. At the time and throughout high school, I was considered some sort of prodigy that was destined to become some great computer programmer. But nowadays there's so much free stuff and resources that child "prodigies" are commonplace.

And no, I never did become famous for making games. It's still a hobby for me but I enjoy it. But, Hob is right. You really need something substantive to show before you start sticking your hands in other people's pockets.
