im sure willing to pay 20 bucks maximum for that game from the current looks, when more is going to be developed, even survival like eating and drinking just to survive, i so will pay 50$ for a Zombiegame going to be very very Dynamic and bases on good teamplay and survival :D !
Hi all, please search monochrome games in google, or any search browser, then go to their forums, news, and find the board about "indie game of the year" follow the steps from there and please vote for contagion! Share and voteeeee!
Omg yes sights and sprint animation! I always wanted those in ZPS. Btw how is the multiplayer is going to be like? man I hope they got everything, infection gameplay, and what not. I been playing Killing Floor, awesome zombie shooter but co-op vs bot gets really repetative, and L4D has no sights... pretty much you'll be playing KF more then L4D2.
Another good zombie shooter is MD Infection gameplay in CS 1.6 if anybody remember.
@repstar13 ITS NOT THE HL2 ENGINE, ITS CALLED SOURCE ENGINE THEY SAID IT IN THIS VIDEO >_< FOR FUCK SAKE. YOU PEOPLE'S MENTAL APTITUDE IS GIVING ME THE SHITS
I gotta Qeustion, is this game Focused on Multiplayer H vs Z's Style Deathmatch like ZPS or is this more like a Single Player with a Hint of Co-op. Cuz these Zombies Don't Look Player controlled.
For an early Alpha very nice. The run animation for the zombies is a little bit strange... but the weapon animations, sounds and all textures... very good !*thumbs up*
@icannotfly I'm not racist, it's game is racist - look, model of player with black hands, prisoners - black, cops - black ... WTF ? This game not complete on 99%
@ben10fan1999 The game is a mod for Half Life Episode 2 (I think at least), so the game is free if you have episode 2. Otherwise, you have to buy episode 2 to get the game.
So far it seems to be an average zombie-shooter game which has potentials to become a very exciting and enjoyable game in its future. But unfortunately there are some aspects that offer opportunitys for improvements. Beginning with textures, moving animations, weapon styles and some lack of details. Most things mentioned in description. I assume that they already worked on it and I`m looking forward to see more !!! Hope it is a match for L4D2 or even better..
Is this a stand alone game? Making another mod on the hl2 engine would more than likely mean failure. The series of mods on the hl2 engine are dying rapidly.
But if this is a standalone game it should suceed :D

But if this is a standalone game it should suceed :D
aa big prblem is that the mouse on a pc is unrealistically acurate. so the zombies need to either take more damage, more head sway while running, be more of them, or all of the above.
Looks great, but I'm hoping the finished product looks a lot better than this alpha. The HUD in particular is an eyesore. Mostly the font. Anyway, keep up the good work and can't wait to play it. ZPS is my most played game and it's hilarious since it's a free mod.
I find it ironic that it's 20x less polished than its spiritual predecessor Zombie Panic Source. I know it's not a close-to-finished build, but they could've cleaned it up a bit more.
Looking forward to this game. Want it to be much harder than L4D and more scary! The only thing I noticed was the player runs WAY too fast. Something I also hated about L4D
This looks really good already, even being said in the description that everything will be even more updated before its released. I'm excited for this! Great job so far and good luck with it!
Yea, barricading, teamwork, and a more realistic feel which it already has would put this up there. Those zombies looks scary but the animation make them feel unreal.
This already looks better than that pile of shit ZPS. Needs more original sound effects and you need to get rid of the ability to play as the zombies. Maybe have it as an option but human players move nothing like zombies. AI controlled is better for that type of thing.
And really, don't make too much map. I prefer 2 hours of good game rather than 10 hours of boring game. Thus, I don't have lots of time to spend to play.
So, looks very good so far, looking forward to it. Also, are you going to use multiple zombie models for single player rather than just using the zombiefied character models? Is there going to be a zombie campaign? Will there be co-op and multiplayer? If there is multiplayer please please please make it more balanced than zps, as there are extremely uneven maps for both sides. Keep up the good work!
Where can i find a description of the game? im not able to find any description of what kind of game is anywhere
So would you give me a description of the game? like is a survival horror of course but with npc zombies? coop? how is it? campaign based? multiplayer? or is just a remake of zp:s?
Care to make a beta we can play? and also Please tell me this is going to be on consoles (im getting it on PC, just wondering.) and What do you think can handle this game? do you need a amazing graphics card? :) thanks, sorry for all the questions :P
Looks very good, the new updated version will hopefully look better with the animation of the zombies. but could you answer this question, will zombies be playable?
@MonochromeLLC If this game is successful, will you have it out for consoles as well? Also, will we be able to play this with a gamepad on the pc? That would be cool.
@MonochromeLLC If this game is successful, will you have it out for consoles as well? Also, will we be able to play this with a gamepad on the pc? That would be cool.
@Mr4bane No need to get angry and insult. As for the animations we have improved on those already as the Source engine isn't as limited as people are led to believe. As for ZPS it's still the top played HL2 modification for nearly 4 years now. But you're right in the end it's a matter of preference. That being said we still want each round to count and not a run and gun shooter. The teaser was purposely created with fewer zombies when I recorded this awhile back for the purpose of convenience.
By 'not particularly hard' I meant that it looks way too easy. A game isn't fun if it isn't at least a bit challenging.
Look at Left 4 dead, or resident evil. Those games was challenging without being too hard, and the zombies appeared from nowhere which made it more exciting and scary.
If the pick-up animations can't be done right because of the engines limitations, then they should be removed completely. No point keeping a broken element.
@xpoc The point really is that you neglected to read the description. As for difficulty again the video is a teaser to show it's a living breathing game and doesn't reflect the current of final version of the game. It's quite challenging and our spawning system (sorry not cute codename for it) is quite incredible and unique. We do appreciate criticism but don't be surprised if people point you back to the description when it's been covered. I personally love constructive criticism.
@MonochromeLLC Actually no, I didn't skip the description. I knew this was a Alpha build, that's why I bothered to leave my thoughts in the first place.
@ShabbyBlock Since Zombie Panic we've always taken input from the community/fans seriously and have created an Ideas & Suggestions thread monochrome-games (dot) com /forums/ for just this purpose so your I&S aren't lost in traffic
@MonochromeLLC that sounds very reasonable as long as its under65$ usd i will buy this also u might want to try to sell this to consoles (xbox360,playstation3) i know many people who would buy this game and even kno a controler lay out that would fit all pc controls to console controls if u r interested
@themajormarco Definitely won't be hitting the ridiculous $60 mark. We are in fact discussing multiple platforms but nothing has been set in stone. This also goes for physical copies as well a the obvious digital distribution.
@MonochromeLLC this is good its about time a company makes a game that cares on the player unlike call of duty where now they only care about how much they make and throw lame games every year. i wish you and your company the best of luck and hope u do decide to do multiple platforms.
Reminds me quite a bit of ZPS but, nonetheless, I think I'll check this game out now aha, I remember hearing of it a while ago but never really payed attention to it...
OK here are my thoughts. The animation for picking up items and opening doors needs work. He just waves his hand over the bullets and the disappear. Is he a magician? Or Jedi possibly? (More accurately they disappear THEN he waves his hand. Very strange).
The animation on the zombies needs serious work.
The game doesn't seems particularly hard or scary.
On the plus side, the dynamic lighting is good, especially on the characters hands, and the reloading animations are brilliant.
@MonochromeLLC Awesome job, much better improvment from the old ZPS i remember playing back in...idk 3-4 years ago haha. A few questions that i would be very grateful if you'd answer, if not for privacy reasons i understand. 1. Is it still going to be PvP, player vs player combat(where one team is zombies), 2. is it going to be free? 3. Possible release date?
(just for full disclosure, I did most of the animation shown in this video)
not gonna argue about the zombies, lots of work happening there :)
But I am genuinely curious, do you think you find the hand grab/use animations more distracting than the typical FPS insta-grab behavior? I know the timing now looks weird with the hand moving after picking it up, but even fixing that, it might not ever be perfect (IE the hand grasping the actual object). Would that still be too distracting?
@xpoc did you play ZPS? dude, this looks awesome, and obviously theyre going to add objectives, they wouldnt make it just running around shooting zombies like this, theyre better than l4d, zombie animation looked fine to me, maybe it could be a bit more fluid but come on its an alpha build, know what my thoughts were watching this? Holy fucknuggets on a ritz when can i get my hands on this!?!? and it will likely be scarier when they can get more zombies and you will have the co op as well if i
I'm pretty sure saying that this is "better than l4d" is a pretty biased statement on your part. They're two different games, they're both different, and neither games were the first to include zombies I don't see why this must *immediately* be compared to L4D. And besides, this is different than L4D, different doesn't
mean one's inferior, that's what you were making it sound like. That's all, not bashing you, and this looks really promising, especially for an alpha, damn :]
@TheKittenBreaker I say it's better than l4d as a zombie shooter, left 4 dead set the bar too low for zombie shooters, look up Division 9, if that would have come out, left 4 dead never would have passed for good game. just saying, its lack of content really brings down the replayability and set the bar too low for what a zombie fps should be
Set the bar too low? I wouldn't say so, L4D is all about having fun with you and your friends mowing down hordes. For a game trying to achieve just that, I'd say they excelled at it, and I've seen Division 9 before. You're putting down L4D because it's not "horror" like this and Division 9 are, L4D wasn't supposed to be horror, not all zombie games need to be either, and L4D excelled at replayability in my opinion with the a.i. director, even if it is just 6 campaigns (L4D1 that is)
@TheKittenBreaker what the fuck is the point of playing a zombie game if its as scary or thrilling as tetris? mowing down hordes, yeah, you named it. its BRAINLESS, requires no thinking, no skills, nothing, is visually mediocre and provides NO trhills at all. that is why l4d sucks for anyone that does - in my humble opinion - not have the IQ of a rat.
tl/dr: l4d is like a micheal bay movie in terms of gameplay and atmosphere.
im sure willing to pay 20 bucks maximum for that game from the current looks, when more is going to be developed, even survival like eating and drinking just to survive, i so will pay 50$ for a Zombiegame going to be very very Dynamic and bases on good teamplay and survival :D !

@MonochromeLLC If this game is successful, will you have it out for consoles as well? Also, will we be able to play this with a gamepad on the pc? That would be cool.

@MonochromeLLC 3 questions, will the game feature multiplayer?
2. What will the price of the game be?
And 3. Is there a release date?

@Mr4bane No need to get angry and insult. As for the animations we have improved on those already as the Source engine isn't as limited as people are led to believe. As for ZPS it's still the top played HL2 modification for nearly 4 years now. But you're right in the end it's a matter of preference. That being said we still want each round to count and not a run and gun shooter. The teaser was purposely created with fewer zombies when I recorded this awhile back for the purpose of convenience.

looking good :)
it could do with some more encumbrance. and more stretched-arms lumbering zombies. Also, perhaps some more weapon bobbing

@Mr4bane Idiot? It's called creative criticism...
By 'not particularly hard' I meant that it looks way too easy. A game isn't fun if it isn't at least a bit challenging.
Look at Left 4 dead, or resident evil. Those games was challenging without being too hard, and the zombies appeared from nowhere which made it more exciting and scary.
If the pick-up animations can't be done right because of the engines limitations, then they should be removed completely. No point keeping a broken element.

@xpoc The point really is that you neglected to read the description. As for difficulty again the video is a teaser to show it's a living breathing game and doesn't reflect the current of final version of the game. It's quite challenging and our spawning system (sorry not cute codename for it) is quite incredible and unique. We do appreciate criticism but don't be surprised if people point you back to the description when it's been covered. I personally love constructive criticism.

@MonochromeLLC Actually no, I didn't skip the description. I knew this was a Alpha build, that's why I bothered to leave my thoughts in the first place.

Beautiful. I loved all the gun mechanics! Except when you walk they should have a lot more of a bounce/bobbing animation.

not bad to be an alpha, but will we be able to play as zombie like in zps?

@themajormarco No, Contagion is a commercial title but we promise it'll be quite reasonably affordable.
MonochromeLLC 6 months ago
@MonochromeLLC that sounds very reasonable as long as its under65$ usd i will buy this also u might want to try to sell this to consoles (xbox360,playstation3) i know many people who would buy this game and even kno a controler lay out that would fit all pc controls to console controls if u r interested

@themajormarco Definitely won't be hitting the ridiculous $60 mark. We are in fact discussing multiple platforms but nothing has been set in stone. This also goes for physical copies as well a the obvious digital distribution.
MonochromeLLC 6 months ago
@MonochromeLLC this is good its about time a company makes a game that cares on the player unlike call of duty where now they only care about how much they make and throw lame games every year. i wish you and your company the best of luck and hope u do decide to do multiple platforms.

Sweet Jesus this looks great. How much is this going to cost?

I wanted for so long for a game play footage. But the alpha still looks great, It looks like its not even alpha. More like beta or something... :D

OK here are my thoughts. The animation for picking up items and opening doors needs work. He just waves his hand over the bullets and the disappear. Is he a magician? Or Jedi possibly? (More accurately they disappear THEN he waves his hand. Very strange).
The animation on the zombies needs serious work.
The game doesn't seems particularly hard or scary.
On the plus side, the dynamic lighting is good, especially on the characters hands, and the reloading animations are brilliant.
Keep it up!

@MonochromeLLC Awesome job, much better improvment from the old ZPS i remember playing back in...idk 3-4 years ago haha. A few questions that i would be very grateful if you'd answer, if not for privacy reasons i understand. 1. Is it still going to be PvP, player vs player combat(where one team is zombies), 2. is it going to be free? 3. Possible release date?

@xpoc
(just for full disclosure, I did most of the animation shown in this video)
not gonna argue about the zombies, lots of work happening there :)
But I am genuinely curious, do you think you find the hand grab/use animations more distracting than the typical FPS insta-grab behavior? I know the timing now looks weird with the hand moving after picking it up, but even fixing that, it might not ever be perfect (IE the hand grasping the actual object). Would that still be too distracting?

@xpoc did you play ZPS? dude, this looks awesome, and obviously theyre going to add objectives, they wouldnt make it just running around shooting zombies like this, theyre better than l4d, zombie animation looked fine to me, maybe it could be a bit more fluid but come on its an alpha build, know what my thoughts were watching this? Holy fucknuggets on a ritz when can i get my hands on this!?!? and it will likely be scarier when they can get more zombies and you will have the co op as well if i

@Stewie2392
I'm pretty sure saying that this is "better than l4d" is a pretty biased statement on your part. They're two different games, they're both different, and neither games were the first to include zombies I don't see why this must *immediately* be compared to L4D. And besides, this is different than L4D, different doesn't
mean one's inferior, that's what you were making it sound like. That's all, not bashing you, and this looks really promising, especially for an alpha, damn :]

@TheKittenBreaker I say it's better than l4d as a zombie shooter, left 4 dead set the bar too low for zombie shooters, look up Division 9, if that would have come out, left 4 dead never would have passed for good game. just saying, its lack of content really brings down the replayability and set the bar too low for what a zombie fps should be

Set the bar too low? I wouldn't say so, L4D is all about having fun with you and your friends mowing down hordes. For a game trying to achieve just that, I'd say they excelled at it, and I've seen Division 9 before. You're putting down L4D because it's not "horror" like this and Division 9 are, L4D wasn't supposed to be horror, not all zombie games need to be either, and L4D excelled at replayability in my opinion with the a.i. director, even if it is just 6 campaigns (L4D1 that is)
TheKittenBreaker 6 months ago
@TheKittenBreaker what the fuck is the point of playing a zombie game if its as scary or thrilling as tetris? mowing down hordes, yeah, you named it. its BRAINLESS, requires no thinking, no skills, nothing, is visually mediocre and provides NO trhills at all. that is why l4d sucks for anyone that does - in my humble opinion - not have the IQ of a rat.
tl/dr: l4d is like a micheal bay movie in terms of gameplay and atmosphere.
