Project Zomboid has been Greenlit!

Those who read my blog the other day about the Steam Greenlight system will probably remember my mention of "Project Zomboid". Well the game has officially received the necessary votes to be "Greenlit" and put onto Steam! This will be great not only for the developer - IndieStone Studios - but for all fans of the game!

For those who have no idea what Project Zomboid is let me fill you in. From the title you more than likely have ventured the guess that it's a game about zombies, but that's just the beginning. It's best described as an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox. The question of the game is not how you will make it out alive, but how long can you live before hunger, paranoia, insanity and/or zombies end you. Yes my friends, death is always a CERTAINTY, how and how long you manage to put it off is the point here.

Project Zomboid will require you to loot houses, build defenses, and fight off zombie attacks to delay their inevitable demise. You will have to scavenge for food, drink, medicine, wood, nails, and any other items you'll need to keep yourself alive as long as possible. A status bar keeps you constantly aware of your hunger, tiredness, whether your panicked or calm, injured, etc. All these things can have a drastic effect on your ability to survive another day.

Now if you haven't noticed from the screenshot the graphics are very simple, if playing the coolest looking next-gen game ranks highest among your prioritys the PZ won't be the game for you. I should also point out that making the game multiplayer is one of IndieStone's top objectives, however it is not currently in the alpha build of the game. The game is already available for purchase at http://projectzomboid.com/blog/index.php/buy-our-games/ - and anyone who purchases the game now will automatically get it on Steam for free, so if it's something you're interested in there's no need to wait to purchase!

Thanks again for reading my blog and I hope you come back for future posts!
