Vanitas is a wave-based survival horror game based in the Victorian Era (early 1837-1901) with zombies. Play as one of the last remaining humans alive, and defend a variety of locations against the undead horde using a variety of Victorian-era weaponry, with the addition of some Steam powered fire-arms. We want to provide a solid horror experience for everyone, and hopefully make the most tense and frightening zombie mod here on ModDb, we're also hoping for a release date in Holiday 2012.

Vanitas is latin for A still-life painting of a 17th-century Dutch genre containing symbols of death or change as a reminder of their inevitability.

We are still in very, very early stages of development. Currently making concept art for the zombies, characters and weapons as well as doing some level design. Currently the team is pretty bare and we'd love to have some help the level design, and more. If you're curious in helping out the mod please contact Manio31 via PM here on ModDB.

Current Team

Justin Ross "Manio31" - Level Designer, Public Relations, Web Design
Jordan Franklin "zekio309" - Concept Artist, Prop Modeler

You can contact Manio via PM with any questions, comments and concerns about the mod as well as if you'd like to help with the production of the game. Right now, our main concern is Character Artists to design zombie and player models.

Game Features & Ideas
- Oil based lanterns will replace the player's flashlight. Oil cans will be scattered around the map which can replenish the oil in the lantern, and allow it to stay lit.
- A simple barricading system where players can barricade doorways, to prevent the undead forces from entering rooms, etc.
- A variety of weapons that would suit the Victorian Era the game is set in. Including melee weapons such as axes, torches, etc. Some fire-arms would include black powder rifles and some "special" hidden weapons that would be Steampunk themed. With some thrown weapons such as Molotovs, and dynamite.
- A wave based survival mode with the difficulty increasing after each wave. With more modes being planned after release.
- May introduce a "bleed-out" system for when a player reaches 0% health they fall to the ground, and can be revived by a fellow player. If they get downed again they die.
- More to come.

Vanitas is latin for vanity. Vanitas is a type of artwork with symbols that include skulls, which are a reminder of the certainty of death; rotten fruit, which symbolizes decay; bubbles, which symbolize the brevity of life and suddenness of death; smoke, watches, and hourglasses, which symbolize the brevity of life; and musical instruments, which symbolize brevity and the ephemeral nature of life.

Dude, the victorian era was from 1837 to 1901 not the early 1900s

I dunno, man- you seem to biting off more than you can chew. You may want to consider changing a few things.
