Zlombie
A downloadable game for Windows
INTRODUCTION:
The hunter can become the hunted. This world was not meant to be discovered. It's not an ecosystem, it's something else. You are the pathogen. You are not welcome here.
BACKGROUND:
Zlombie is a Singleplayer 3D First-Person Shooter Open-World Survival Game developed with the Unity Engine. Playable on Windows PC only with Mouse and Keyboard. Set in an undiscovered world where nothing is at it seems, at least beyond the surface. Out here, everything will kill you.
===================================================
FEATURES:
SIMPLE INVENTORY AND LOOTING SYSTEM:
Your Inventory can only store a few weapons and a lot of ammunition. Other than that, everything else you probably can't take with you. Probably.
===================================================
THREE-PART HEALTH SYSTEM: (Health, Armor, Shield)
- Health - The amount of hit points to take down an entity.
- Health Regen - The amount of hit points that Health regenerates over time.
- Armor - The amount of hit points that reduce damage taken by Health.
- Shield - The amount of hit points located on top of Health that shield it.
- Shield Regen - The amount of hit points that Shield regenerates over time.
An entity with Health has a color red health bar. An entity with Armor has a color gray health bar. An entity with Shield has a cyan colored bar at the bottom of the health bar.
===================================================
WEAPONS:
The weapons showcased in this game are all guns of different varieties. They will vary by basic somewhat accurate gun classifications:
- Handguns
- Smgs
- Rifles
- Shotguns
- Snipers
- Launchers
- Specials.
They will also vary by their Damage Type and Ammunition Type which can inflict different Damage values and various Status Effects on a target.
===================================================
WEAPON STATS DAMAGE OUTPUT SYSTEM:
Stat | Description | Example |
Damage Type | Determines what type of Damage or Status Effect a weapon can inflict | Blunt, Fire, etc. |
Ammunition Type | Determines what type of Ammunition the weapon will be using which also affects damage a little. | 45.acp, 7.62mm, etc. |
Damage | Determines the Raw Damage of the weapon unaffected by multipliers or modifiers. | 100, 50, 25, 75, etc. |
Critical Damage | Determines the Damage multiplier of the weapon when it does a Critical Hit. | 2x, 6x, 1.5x, 3x, 4x, etc. |
Critical Chance | Determines the chance of a Critical Hit happening between 0% to a 100%. | 50%, 30%, 10%, etc. |
Fire Rate | Determines how fast a weapon is at firing projectiles. | shown via meter |
Reload Speed | Determines how fast a weapon reload time to restore ammunition is. | also show via meter |
Status Chance | Determines the chance of a weapon inflicting a Status Effect based on the Damage Type. | 5%, 100%, 75%, etc. |
Status Duration | Determines how long is the base time a Status Effect would last upon infliction. | 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc. |
Noise Range | Determines how noisy a weapon is when firing between 0 to 100. Because noise attracts stuff you don't like... | also shown via meter too |
===================================================
ENHANCED DAMAGE COMBAT SYSTEM:
Zlombie will feature a combat system that relies on a sort of magic/elemental damage system that revolves around enemies with not just health but can sport armor or shields or both, with over 7 different damage types to play with (Blunt, Pierce, Slash, Toxin, Ice, Fire, Electro) that give unique effects.
Element | Effect | Base Duration |
Blunt | no effect | 3.0f seconds |
Pierce | no effect | 3.0f seconds |
Slash | bleed damage over time that ignores armor | 3.0f seconds |
Toxin | poison damage over time that bypasses shield | 5.0f seconds |
Ice | ice that slows down speed or freeze | 5.0f seconds |
Fire | fire damage over time that reduces armor a bit | 5.0f seconds |
Electro | electric damage that can electrocute | 5.0f seconds |
===================================================
DAMAGE TYPE COMBINATION SYNERGY SYSTEM:
Zlombie also features a magic/elemental combo system where mixing certain damage types create a new more powerful damage type. These 6 new advanced damage types (Gas, Viral, Corrode, Melt, Magnetic, Blast) provide a new way to counter enemies more effectively.
Element | Effect | Base Duration |
Gas | fiery poisonous smoke damage overtime that blocks full (100%) health regeneration | 10.0f seconds |
Viral | deadly disease that makes damage to health more vulnerable by a multiplier (200%) | 10.0f seconds |
Corrode | corrosive effect that removes chunks (25%) of armor instantly | 0.0f seconds |
Melt | hot liquifying water damage over time that reduces attack damage by half (50%) | 10.0f seconds |
Magnetic | polarizing combination that fully (100%) disables shield and shield regeneration | 10.0f seconds |
Blast | instantaneous explosive damage in a large area of effect | 0.0f seconds |
ADVANCED ELEMENT COMBINATIONS:
These elements may only be triggered upon combination.
- Gas = Toxin + Fire
- Viral = Ice + Toxin
- Corrode = Toxin + Electro
- Melt = Fire + Ice
- Magnetic = Ice + Electro
- Blast = Electro + Fire
===================================================
LOOTER SHOOTER SYSTEM:
Zlombie features a simple looter shooter system where enemies drop gear, parts, ammunition, or currency by chance/randomly upon kill. The drops vary on the difficulty or overall strength of the enemy.
LOOTING, BREAKING, & INTERACTING:
Zlombie aims to have most items and objects in the world to be either lootable, breakable, or interactable.
OPEN WORLD WITH STORY-ELEMENTS:
Zlombie, the game, is mostly open-ended as an open-world but will feature some story-telling elements to make sense of the world. Your progression as a character will peak at some point as I don't plan to have enemies endlessly scale yet.
