Zombie Grinder is the debut game of TwinDrills, an indie game development duo made up of Tim 'Infini' Leonard and Jordan 'Jordizzle' Chewning. It's a multi-platform (windows, mac, Linux!) (also Free!) cooperative multiplayer arcade game, reminiscent in style and gameplay of retro games like 'Zombies Ate My Neighbors' and 'Super Smash TV!', but with the added benefit of some newer game mechanics - achievements, ranking, player-customization, rpg style stats and so forth. The game sports a variety of different game modes, from co-operative 'campaign' style levels, to wave maps and even the classic 'pvp' style game modes - deathmatch, capture the 'bag' and so forth. All of these mods are bristling with a variety of weapons and items, all lovingly displayed in Jordan's classic quirky pixel-art style.

Repost of the idea i mentioned in my last thread, cause the forum swallowed it:

LOL, you actually could make weapons like this legit, but only if they were ultra expensive (in the millions), and naturally overwritten when joining any pvp game (replace epic lol items with a random weapon or some such). would make them epic end game loot while keeping the game unbroken, you could also add an option for any host (like the friendly fire tag) to allow or deny epic items on their server, and those items would always be disabled when hosting by default. also, servers enabled with epic weapons should always warn the user before joining them (kind of like the "your nat is not setup properly, u sure bro??).

EDIT: oh and enabling such weapons should disable any xp gains and gold drops, so the weapons would be used purely for fun, and not for personal gain over other players.

EDIT 2: so many fun ideas with this. an epic weapon would be like Youtube.com releasing a gigaton of damage, wiping out entire groups of zombies. this would be a hilarious pvp weapon with fast hats on a lol server.

For me this is more something for a mod. You can easily get such a weapon by changing a number in two files with notepad.

Edit:
This only works in stand alone versions unless it doesn't works there either.

yup, mods for guns like those would be fun, but they take out the challenge of earning them, and they wont be on the servers. better to implement as "fun guns" for an end game challenge, which improves player retention, and is lots of fun!
