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.

Hey everyone!
I have ideas, that can make Zombie Grinder better.
1. First thing is reloading weapon. We must waiting to shoot all bulets/ammo. I think the better way is press (default ) "r" to reaload gun.
2. Next idea are orders. Player press (default) "f5" and turn up menu with orders, for example:
-follow me,
-i need a medic,
etc.
3. I thing the most important is give a part of map name, for example in Counter Strike on de_dust2 are "long a, short b"... the communication between players will be better. In conjunction with orders it will be fantastic co-op.

Next part of ideas i will write tomorrow.
I encourage in order to all publish ideas. We can do ZG the best game!
Sorry for my english, if you see mistakes. :)

I had originally planned for there not to be any text boxes, and all of the communication was gonna be done via predefined emoticons like ( *zombie* } ( *up arrow* } But it never panned out. I still wouldn't mind adding some form of quick macro lines for repeated lines. As far as parts of the map, Counter-strike took almost 6 years for those area nicknames to form. I'm not sure the maps in ZG are expansive or tactical enough to be like "Team, meet up at the soda machine near crossroads C" or anything, since it's meant to be played lightheartedly.

I also am feeling a stronger need for a reload button as of late. Prolly because I play lots of PVP lately ;P
