This is how many legendary games have been born, such as Counter-strike and DotA.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">In that spirit, a team of independent developers are creating a new style of Zombie game, after being inspired by a post on community website Reddit.com. Their intention is to create a game very different from games such as the Left 4 Dead franchise, which basically involves using an array of weapons to destroy hordes of crazed undead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Ditching the linear style, the creators hope to create a sandbox style survival game, called Survivor Zero. From their website: &ldquo;Instead of focusing on combating waves of zombies in high-octane shootouts, the game will allow players the chance to use not only strength but creativity and logic in order to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The inspiration for this project was a post on Reddit simply requesting a game with &ldquo;No time limits, no plot devices, no crazy super zombie boss&hellip; Just a massive open world where you have to actually be careful what you do.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">While shooting legions of zombies with varying degrees of creativity can be somewhat one-dimensional, this project looks to have enormous potential for depth. The creators want to emphasize the struggle of living in a post-apocalyptic world rather than non-stop action.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Keep an eye on this project at <a href=\"http:\/\/survivorzero.com\/wp\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Survivor Zero\">Survivor Zero<\/a>, it could be something really special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/survivor_zero_200457213.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&quot;Survivor Zero&quot; looks to be something special<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12952\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
