As you all know Halloween is nearly here and our latest release Zombie Panic! Source v2.0 will be out very soon. This marks 5 years of ZP and with that we're holding a Halloween Prop Modeling Competition. The competition is coming to a close with only 4 days left (October 21st, 2009) so make sure you go over the -details- once again and turn those entries in to zombiepanicissues@gmail.com ASAP.
Updated Prizes:
1st Place - $200 + 3 NOESIS Interactive Digital Tutorials of your choice (Valued up to $150)
2nd Place - $50 + 1 NOESIS Interactive Digital Tutorials of your choice (Valued up to $50)
3rd Place - $50 + 1 NOESIS Interactive Digital Tutorials of your choice (Valued up to $50)
That said, we also promised to show you more content that would be available in ZPS v2.0 as well as revealing more of our changelog so you have an idea of what to expect-
zpa_badbayou
Survivor & Zombie - Lea
New Melee Weapons
ZPA Feature Sneak Peak
ZPS - Horde
Because each ZPA will differ in scale and objectives we're leaving things here vague. Our other ZPA maps and the community will find that there is quite a bit one can do using their imagintation so each map can have it's own unique feel. Also I would like to point out that we will be releasing the FGD early which includes our beacon information so mappers can update their existing and in progress maps.

Great Job, I cant wait to get the update!i Love this game
Where on earth do mod teams get $300 from? :-P
a job ;P
technically, it's $550 if you include the Noesis tutorials.
they might have found it, after killing some zombies and just check the bodies for stuff! :)
Did you know that you can get money for example, from a job?
Mod enthusiasts paying their money for their mod ^^
We have received donations from our community. All of this has gone to paying for hosting and domain renewals. On occasion we also put money in and host a competition. NOESIS Interactive was very generous by offering Digital Tutorials for the winners as well. Everything cent put into ZPS we put back into the community. Hehe we have day jobs to feed ourselves :)
Nice work !
<3 this update.
Need more pumpkins!
I'm taking a small break from ZPS so come halloween I can really enjoy this new update, fantastic work!
"Also I would like to point out that we will be releasing the FGD early which includes our beacon information so mappers can update their existing and in progress maps."
I <3 you guys. :P
Now I can include beacons so people won't get lost in zpo_shaun.
Zombie Lea image doesn't work for me. Great model and nice to see it ingame...

Is the waitress the girl with the orange shirt? Can we have a peek at her new textures pls?
The new models look great, I really love Lea (is she a junkie? she looks kind of like a junkie).
badbayou looks nice, but it has too much bloom for my liking =(
Surprised nobody has reviewed this mod. I wrote one =]
Great job on the mod guys! Look forward to 2.0
Clubzombo? Clubzombo???!! *-* Will this update come through Steam aswell or just the manual download of the patch?
All updates for ZPS come directly through Steam; no more manual .exe patches like in the past
Looks really good! (The third lea picture links to 01.jpg, should be 03.jpg by the way)
Ah, missed that. It's now fixed, thanks :)
ZOMG
but why ZPS doesn't have achievments
the future, maybe?
This mod does rock alot but just wondering how did you guys get published on steam?
Valve contacted us and asked if we'd be interested. We were at the time the #1 played HL2 mod and still had a lot more going into the mod. I don't know what their selection process was though. I believe others contacted valve and showed interest in the Steamworks API as it was announced for those they published. They use to have a note stating it wasn't for mods but I no longer see that there.
