Damn it, ModDB logged me out again --"

Lmao

Duh. You're the only-other-one here.

Been a year since the last update. Just bumping this project for some reason lol.

Study-bug!

You don't need it, you can download the prototype directly from ModDB as usual.

Voted. So far, I don't see any other indie game worthy of this title other than Insurgency. Maybe that's because I've been playing too much of it since its Early Access days though. Who knows?

That's one heck of a time to finish one game. But I like it. As for the price, well, different people with different views right? Personally, I just think that it might not be as profitable as it could have been if you had raised the price a bit.

Hope everything will go as planned for you, and sorry for the car. Must've been horrible because it's just been repainted! And $10 for early access of such promising (short?) game? That's gonna be a no-brainer. I can see people buying it already, just like Rust, The Forest, and the likes of it.

Best of luck to you Slayer_2!

Craaaappp... I knew this had to be Halo-related when I read those two words: Eridanus Insurrection! I hope this mod will actually make progress unlike many others.. It would be a BLAST!!

Stage 1? That makes a lot of sense (Lol). Will do! :D

Judging from this, I guess the virus really doesn't do any drastic changes to the human body (Aside from the glowing-green blood vessels and eyes?).
I also noticed that she doesn't look like rotten flesh, as if she has just been infected or something. Are the "Gombies" supposed to look fresh like this?

O goodie :D

Character animations? That's sweet! :D

Oh..you're using that. Well, no wonder lol. It's good for general purpose, looks, and show off though!

The game uses the Unity3D engine, you really should upgrade your PC.. :\

Guess I'm the one who missed it, sorry! The more I know xD

Spoilers.. Damn you devs! You guys are even more secretive than the secret government stuffs!

Keeps the hype running though, which is always good :)

It might be nice to see some Half-Life 2 props hidden in the game, but that might cause copyright issues or something.

Hope it'll out-do even Resident Evil 4 :D

Making a Source game where players won't even recognize it.. That'll be a tough one since pretty much every Source game has at least one thing that's identical to one another (Definitely that old-school console and server browser too! Maybe you guys will keep those two in? Some people prefer server browsers over matchmaking).

You're welcome.

Minor changes it is.. Sort of something like in Left 4 Dead where you might find a supplies on a route that goes away from the objective? Guess we'll get some Easter Eggs too! Oh, and the perks, I wonder what those "big roles" are...

That's always good, after all, it's a video game. Co-op would be amazing!

Yeah, I just noticed that this isn't your first game after a lil' bit more digging. It's strange, but it won't do any harm. Good luck with Greenlight I guess! Or not, because games like this are supposed to have HUGE demands. Source.

No problem, I'll gladly share this project to my friends. If it's been InDev for about a year and it's still pre-alpha, I trust the end-product would be content-rich. Oh, and some models would be nice! Can't wait to see what exactly has this nifty virus done to humanity!

Since you brought up that "spectator" stuff, something else comes to mind. Will the game feature any PvP mode? I figured it'd be fun to have a player control the horde with a top-down view (Essentially making it a RTS vs TPS game) or something like Left 4 Dead 2's Versus mode (For some reason this reminds me of MOBAs). Oh, and I think you missed a question there about what kind of third-person shooter it'll be (Over-the-shoulder, GTA-like, Dead Space-like, whatevs).

And to save space, yes, a Q&A or simply a FAQ section would be good! Keep up the good work guys!

You too? Well, it happens :)
"in no way like Call of Duty" you made that sound like it won't have anything that Call of Duty has lol.

You made that? Then you should be proud of yourself, the article's worth reading through!

So it's made with the Alien Swarm SDK then, there's a Real-Time Strategy mod for Half-Life 2 based on the Alien Swarm's SDK as well! I wonder why it has to be Alien Swarm though, maybe because it's free? If the game will avoid those old things, I think it'll have a bright future ahead of it because people are sick of those 'old' things already! I don't mind the details (It's just the Source engine), but of course, we would appreciate it if it'll have sharp textures and whatnot!

Spectators then? That ought to be fun...or boring. Time will tell!

If it'll be something like Left 4 Dead, then I guess I need not worry, it gives me a good picture of what the game will feel like already (Of course, minus those thousands of lead vs zombies and stuff!). I suppose the game will have that creepy atmosphere that games like Resident Evil 4 had then? Looking forward to it!

Damn that was good! I swear, I'm more excited for this than Star Citizen.. (Maybe not? :3)

P3
Last but not least, and no offense here, but why "Greenlight Gaming"? It's not that it sounds bad or anything (Love the intro btw), it's just awkward, especially knowing the possibility that this game might be put on Steam Greenlight in the future.

So like I was saying, the game is promising, it's all good. I'll be tracking it on ModDB and other medias. It's just a matter of time until we'll see how you'll live up to the game's promise. There's plenty of time till Late 2015 (1+ year/s).
Until then, best of luck on your endeavor (And your future endeavors, too)!

Think I just made a fool of myself for writing all of these in the comments, but I'm too lazy..so yeah.

I do have a question though, why 3 geeks (Players) and not 4? Most games out there either feature 4 characters (Left 4 Dead) for co-op or 2 (Portal 2). I know that each characters are unique and so, creating a 4th character would be a hassle (Balance issues?), but it's worth a shot. After all, the more the merrier!

Now on to the gameplay itself. There aren't many third-person zombie games (Although games like DayZ or H1Z1 has it, they're primarily first-person shooters), one particular game comes to mind: State of Decay (Which I mentioned earlier), my question is, will it play anything like SoD? Judging from the map design from the teaser and the "chapters", it looks and sounds like the game would be linear (Just like in the Gears' games, Alien Swarm, Left 4 Dead and whatnot), maybe it's actually an open yet small map? And will it be scripted (If yes, hopefully it won't be anything like Call of Duty...)?

You mentioned something about decision-making that will affect the player's journey, but the game has its own story, I'm not expecting something like Mass Effect in scale, maybe it'll just be minor changes or changes that will alter the game's ending (Spec Ops: The Line like)?
And about the experience itself, will it be a fun-comical game (Because of its premise) or will it actually be a serious game?

So I have to split this comment into parts because it exceeds ModDB's rule of 2k characters max.

That's a well written introduction! I know we've had just about enough zombie-related games already by now. But no one can really say no to it, can they? Especially if it's a good one.

Gombies' (Placeholder eh?) idea and premise is interesting, if not somewhat awkward (Seriously, where did you guys get the idea of all this "Geeks vs Zombies" stuff?). But a third-person shooter on Source? That's something you don't see everyday! I trust the game won't be like No More Room in Hell (Which is a good game/mod, but that's just a mod and the animation are...decent at most)? Speaking of TPS's, will the game be something like Gears of War (Over-the-shoulder view), Grand Theft Auto (The "normal" behind-the-player view), or will it be top-to-down (Alien Swarm style, which is unlikely, but you guys made the preview/teaser in such style)? And since it's a TPS, the idea of a co-operative zombie game like State of Decay is great (Also considering the fact that Undead Labs decided to work on a mobile game instead of the planned "Class4").

Since I can't support you on Kickstarter myself, I'll share it to my friends (And stuff)! Don't know if it'll do much or if they'll back it up themselves, but it doesn't hurt to try :D

Nooooo come back.. xD

*sees EA* You better not... *realizes it's Early Access* do that again...

Anyways, good work, and what the EmotionalRobot said. Keep it up guys! :D

Is this from a moded Combat Evolved or is this from Anniversary? It looks horrible but gorgeous at the same time! Dx

The game is still lacking players, maybe it has (Significantly?) more than what it had before Steam, but there's only a few servers with players. And most of the time, they're full lol :\ Great mod though! :D

You can use Download Managers because downloading huge files with your browser is not recommended. This is also the reason why you could download from Steam, it's because Steam has its own download manager integrated in it (Also the Valve servers :P).
