You are a member of an elite military team that will blast through the dead until the zombies are annihilated, and the city is secure. You will carry out missions to defend assets, protect the injured, gather supplies, provide sniper support and above all, hunt and kill the zombies."

    Was expecting this to be another of those crappy gallery shooters. I'm pleasantly surprised, this looks pretty nice

    Thanks JCho133,

    Zombie Objective is definitely going to have full movement. Can't have a zombie game if you can't run! :)

    Each weapon has different weight, attack speed, attack range, and of course damage.

    Update #2:

    Zombie Objective will support the following languages:

    LANGUAGES:
    English, 한국어, Русский, 日本語, 中国简体, Deutsch, Bahasa Indonesia, Malay, ไทย, Português, Français, Italiano, Filipino, Español.


    Okay, now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about more weapons! The Melee Weapons shown previously are great for close combat and also for saving ammunition. Plus you never need to reload them! On the other hand, sometimes you don't want to let the zombies even get close to you, so we have these:

    [​IMG]

    Long Guns have great range and high damage. Perfect for stopping the zombies from far away. They have moderate fire rate and average reload times. These are well rounded weapons to complete many different mission types.

    MISSION TYPES:
    There are many different Mission Types in Zombie Objective. You will need to carefully customize your equipment to give you the best chance of success.

    ATTACK MISSION: This is the simplest mission objective. Just kill the amount of zombies that the mission requires.

    SURVIVE MISSION: Stay alive for the required amount of time, and you will succeed the mission. Usually having fast shoes and good armor will help you succeed.

    DEFEND MISSION: You will be shown an asset that you need to protect. What ever it is, you will need to stay nearby and blow away any zombie that tries to destroy it. Heavy Weapons or Melee Weapons work well here. Land mines are great for defense.

    PROTECT MISSION: Some of your fellow soldiers have been injured in combat. Your mission is to find them and protect them for the required amount of time. Distraction Holograms work very well here.

    GATHER MISSION: Valuable supplies are scattered around the location. You will need to find the required amount to succeed the mission. Fast shoes are extremely important here. Light attack weapons will also keep you agile.

    BOSS MISSION: Boss Zombies are tough. Very tough. These missions don't show up very often.

    SNIPER MISSION: Positioned from up high, you will need to defend stranded cars from zombies at various locations. Be careful. Your weapons can damage the cars, so high precision is needed. Good thing you can use one of these:

    Stay tuned for more!

    Love the trailer. I was imagining more of a walking dead concept, but this is awesome!!! Love the zombie dogs, those large crazy-looking ones are even better. When are you guys planning on releasing?? You've got one customer right here.

    Hi Everyone!

    Thanks for the great feedback! We really appreciate it. It really does uplift us with an extra boost of energy and excitement after a grueling development process.

    The good news is we submitted to the App Store last night! So with fingers crossed, we should have a solid release date to announce in a couple weeks. Release should definitely happen sometime this November.

    Some game tech details:
    - SIZE: When we uploaded to the App Store, it was 61 mb. The App Store gave us an estimated size of 135 mb. So I'm guessing that means it will be around 61 mb to download and then it will extract to 135 mb on your iPhone or iPad.

    - iPhone 6 & 6 Plus native resolutions are supported. We are actually using the very latest Unity patch that was released on Oct 24 to support iPhone 6 & 6 Plus.

    - Supports iOS 7.0 and up. The iPhone 4 might be the only device it may have trouble running on. For everything else, it runs silky smooth. On our iPad 2 and iPod 5th, it was getting way over 30 fps. We can measure an exact fps count in a bit, but perceptually, it's very smooth.

    - price FREE!

    More updates coming soon!
    Jeff

    Hi JCho133. Yes, Zombie Objective will be free to play. There are no timers, no energy mechanic. (I personally don't like anything that stops me from playing when I want to play.)

    It will have a dual currency system of money and gold. Money will be easier to earn from playing missions. Earning gold is slower, but you do earn gold also. Gold is not necessary and using gold is optional to enhance your gameplay. There is also a video rewards system where you can watch video ads to earn money, gold, or valuable equipment. Money rewards scale up as your player level goes up.

    Missions come in 3 difficulties. Easy, Normal, and Hard. You earn more rewards for harder missions. Grinding away is definitely possible and it will depend on your skill and strategy. If you want to, you can play easy missions all the way to max level.

    Also, for in app purchases, there are non-comsumable combo packs for those of you who prefer to buy permanent items.

    Best,
    Jeff

    Hi amandarose,

    We tried to make the controls as simple as possible for a full motion fps. You use your left thumb for walking movement, like forward, backwards, and side ways. A virtual analog stick will appear on the left side of the screen.

    Your right thumb controls where you look. Just drag your thumb on the right side of the screen to look around.

    For shooting, we have 2 options: automatic and manual. For automatic shooting, just look at the zombie, and if the zombie is in the crosshairs, your gun will shoot or your melee weapon will attack automatically. For manual shooting, a fire buttion will be on screen so you can push it.

    Hope that helps!
    Jeff
