Monochrome LLC Founder & CEO but probably best known as being the Founder and Lead Developer of the very popular HL2 Modification Zombie Panic: Source.
lol we don't follow everyones timezone it's 7:38pm on the 28th for me... We are working under PST. You'll have the mod today. Don't ask for a time or where it is till the 29th :P heh
No bother at all. You'll notice a lot of vehicles look similar in games but we went with the impala because not only is it a civilian vehicle it is also a taxi and police car in the real world. So it fits and makes it easier for us to add variety. The base is the same but in game it's not something you're gonna notice unless you're just being anal.
Actually I hadn't thought of that at all (serious) We chose the 28th for the day it's on (Friday) and our own timeframe. But that's cool none the less.
I find it funny that you insist on knowing the level of progress involved in ZP:S and yet... I don't remember hiring you on the team. Or is it I declined your application and now your bitter? As for experience both coders on the team are very experienced. But honestly your immaturity and insults will handle this issue for me.
It's quite flattering I guess. A no named modder(?), attempting to slander a well respected mod because you feel us a threat. You don't even have a mod yet but you're 'trying' to bash others. Before you get laughed completely out of the community you'd be wise not to break the Terms of Use agreement on ModDB and actually do some real work on your mod.
Ah, the good old Quake/HL1 modding days, when people were a lot less impatient and understanding heh (mind you it was a lot easier to get the work done too). Guys, I can't wait to play so keep up the good work and don't burn yourself out.
Yes, but Zombie Panic: Source has taken the time to resolve this issue (vets grabbing all the best weapons). As for head shots being the only means to killing a zombie, it may be the most popular way but isn't the only.
LeafyGreenz: Every Zombie Mod since Zombie Panic (HL1) has used the "Yes I know another Zombie mod but <insert confidence in releasing, suggesting others wont> and we're different because <insert features/items/etc borrowed from other zombie mods>" so before you go insinuating on other z-mod profiles that they're dead, dying, inactive, slow, or similar, I'd suggest releasing your mod first, cause right now you're just another zombie mod with nothing to show for yourself. With that said, there aren't enough zombie games/mods available and I wish you the best of luck and hope you don't fail like so many others have. There is enough room for Zombie Panic: Source and the few others that may release.
I completely agree with your father. However, suggest to him to try and play the games himself so he can make a more informed opinion. Game ratings these days are ridiculous and are rarely accurate. This means pg-13 would be viewed as rated R back when I was a kid but others would be rated pg-13 and are now rated M. Quite confusing.
The thing is-
1. Contributions while welcome may not always fit the style/quality of the mod they were donated to.
2. A zombie "skin" still requires someone to build a character model for it. Unless you suggest using HL2 models which is not acceptable :)
3. Don't worry you'll see some new stuff soon.
@Cololi
Still have active servers mind you not nearly as active as before and actually had a game today.

Personally the only thing I see in common with L4D and ZP:S is they stole my PipeBomb design (honored i'm sure) and Zombies. They may have taken ideas from many similar games and mods but it is a completely different game. We didn't even break a sweat *shrugs*
Wraiyth,
Sorry to hear the sad news. I know you and the rest put a lot of hard work into it while still contributing to the community. Hit me up on MSN when you get a chance.
It's only 6:51am on the 28th. lol taking awhile is 9pm :P Remember timezone is PST. So quit looking at 'your' clock :)

I edited the profile so that we are still an Upcoming mod for ModDB's 2007 Mod Awards. Dont' worry we're still releasing Dec 28th, 2009 (heh)
Guys be patient its still early morning for all. Mod isn't released yet. But I promise I will make a post and edit our profile when it is.

Welcome to planet Earth. If you're just now seeing a pattern between Holidays and themes that fit the day, I suggest getting out more :)
