Zombie Survival Quiz 2: Interactivity+

Posted by secv May. 26, 2008 @ 12:21 AM EDT

There are going to be more interactive parts to the new quiz, mini-games if you will. They'll be more complex than simply "Dur shoot the zombie! kthx!"

Hopefully they'll have enough depth to warrant their own leaderboards, but I guess that'll come later. I don't have an awful lot of experience with this sorta thing, so it'll be a learning experience for me as well :p

You can expect there to be 3-5 mini-games.

Hahah, sounds like it has potential. I hope you just don't mess it up!

lol Thank you!

Yeah, but when's it coming out? :D If you need a hand, let me know, dude. I'd be happy to share the workload.

Meh. I'm not a fan of minigames as such......I hope they dont effect results too much.

Though some questions relating to a scenario where you have a time limit would be nice......

Survival is not about knowledge, you dont need knowledge to survive. You need luck and the right decisions.

Still......sounds even more promising.

May. 29, 2008 | 9:26 AM secv responds:

They'll definitely have relevance to the quiz and will be equal to one or two questions max pointwise.


May. 29, 2008 | 8:49 PM shabbo says:

SWEET!

I loved the first one!

Hope you do a good job ^_^


Jun. 3, 2008 | 4:45 PM iamnecromantic says:

so is this just an idea or do you actually know what minigames you'll put in it?

Jun. 8, 2008 | 2:18 PM secv responds:

I already have an idea of what's going to be in the quiz, but nothings finalized yet.

I suggest that you clearly state that the zombies you are using as a base are the ones based on The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z. I've read both numerous times and I can say that they are VERY interesting and easily captivate a reader.
Also, you might want to have a question about zombie slang, because there were plenty of names for them in those books (Ghouls, G's, Zack etc.), and since you seem to base your quiz on them, I think it would be interesting to have a zombie name question.
Also, don't fuck up the mini-game questions by making them things like "shoot the zombies", because skill with moving and clicking a mouse will not help a person survive a zombie pandemic.
By mini-game, I'm sure most people would expect something like a map, and the locations of zombies, and then you have to plot a safe route through the area based on the map information and common sense. That would be a very good mini-game, and actually requires intellect to solve.
Another question I thought that might be worth having is something to do with zombie sounds. You could record a number of different moans, and then have people play them in the quiz and guess which one would be a zombie moan.
Also, PLEASE don't forget the mighty QUISLINGS, humans that have gone insane and act like zombies. If you make a mini-game or question for them, it could very well be one of the most interesting ones in the game.

Those are all my complaints and suggestions, and I hope it turns out well!

Good suggestions, I'll keep those in mind.


Jun. 6, 2008 | 9:44 PM Shroiken says:

MarcoJukicPro has a good point there. Strategy is a good thing.

The map thing especially, choosing a route/fortress/place to attack based on zombie numbers, weapons, potential hazards and/or terrain is a better thing than reflex tests which dont really prove much.

Though.....whatever it is your putting in, I think it will be good. ;)


Jun. 8, 2008 | 11:12 AM ManWithNoNameInc says:

If you fuck it up then thou shalt be put to shame!!! SHAME!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

*COUGH* um.. anyway, Good Luck! :-)

Jun. 12, 2008 | 7:01 PM I3east says:

judging by how long this quiz is taking should be a sing that it will be great...i hope

Jun. 13, 2008 | 2:15 PM secv responds:

Well, the second is more than a typical slide show quiz game.

Without the "amenities," the second quiz is by far superior to the first. But I guess time will tell.


Jul. 13, 2008 | 11:47 AM Spleenboy says:

Dude! When are you going to finish this? I don't mean to nag but I really wanna play it :D

Jul. 15, 2008 | 2:11 AM secv responds:

It's essentially rebuilt from the ground up, so I can't really make a good guess. Sorry.


Jul. 25, 2008 | 5:07 AM ghyfty says:

For some reason your quiz made me think zomble are real. And that something hard to do. Good job.


Aug. 2, 2008 | 4:33 PM Lucio1995 says:

Would like a lot a 2nd one! And minigames, should be there after a few answers, not a option in the main menu... it could help to the result of the test :)

Aug. 5, 2008 | 2:54 PM secv responds:

Depending on how many minigames there are in the final version, they'll probably be around 10 questions between each game.


Aug. 3, 2008 | 10:16 PM jedigrandmaster says:

ASCADKMV OMG!!!!! i cant wait, i really liked the first one, good lick with it man :D


Aug. 3, 2008 | 10:17 PM jedigrandmaster says:

correction with my last post, "Good Luck with it :D

Aug. 5, 2008 | 2:52 PM secv responds:

lol Thanks!


Aug. 16, 2008 | 3:09 AM I3east says:

what if it never comes out ?!?!?

Aug. 19, 2008 | 3:45 PM secv responds:

No, it's coming out...


Aug. 18, 2008 | 11:27 PM Sysko says:

Good. Are these gonna be in the game or are these things you are putting off? Anyway I have an idea for a minigame: A relative/close friend is hurt or infected. What do you do? The choices would be:

A) Carry them, risking both his/hers and your lives,
B) Treat them
C) Leave 'em.
D) Shoot 'em sooner or later, or
E) Kill them and then yourself.

If you choose any one of the answers, you'd play it out and see the results for yourself, that way it'll teach the players while testing their knowledge simoltaniously. For example, for A it's a game where you hit keys on the keyboard to carry them, and if the zombies get close, well, CHOMP! For B, it shows them being treated, only the friend turns into a zombie and kills the player. For C, it shows exactly that, and the friend/relative is shown being eaten alive, and so on. Good luck.

BTW- I have an aguement on a question on the 1st survival quiz. One question's answer says the dead do not neccesarily eat, but just bite to spread the virus. You could say that the dead "eat". Ever see 28 weeks later? In the intro there was a subtitle saying "28 days later: Infected die of starvation". Just checkin'. Once again Good luck, and pleaz take my ideas into consideration! The mini-games are either gonna make the sequel ten times better or totally kill the franchise. But don't sweat it. I'm really routing for ya. Hope to see it soon.

Aug. 19, 2008 | 3:47 PM secv responds:

Thanks! I'm surprised to hear it called a "franchise!"

I have great expectations for the minigames, but I think they'll be less reliant on key presses or rapid button mashing.


Aug. 21, 2008 | 3:17 PM Sysko says:

Yer welcome, and it might as well be called a franchise cuz yer gonna make a 2nd game (and hopefully and 3rd, maybe even 4th!).


Aug. 28, 2008 | 9:29 PM xboxlad11 says:

looks and sounds good but when is it coming out dude WHEN!!

Sep. 15, 2008 | 10:59 PM secv responds:

AHHHHHH!

Sep. 7, 2008 | 12:06 AM TyPah says:

That's awesome, although you probably wouldn't believe I got a Z+ the first time and that I own a Mosin Nagant rifle because I'm only eleven. (But I do, anyways, so...)


Sep. 11, 2008 | 12:00 AM OrgyEggRoll says:

Umm. Looks like the game is... Off?

Sep. 15, 2008 | 10:58 PM secv responds:

Toast is doing the programming now since I'm terrible so things are progressing at a faster rate now.


Sep. 21, 2008 | 3:43 PM Foamytank says:

So are you shooting for a October 31st release date?
Cus I'm craving some fucking Zombie Quiz action right now! =]

Oct. 2, 2008 | 4:01 PM secv responds:

That'd be cool, but not really... :(


Sep. 25, 2008 | 8:39 PM Kitten-of-Annoyance says:

can't wait! I really like your last one and I can't wait for this one to reach NG!!!


Oct. 4, 2008 | 1:27 AM Sysko says:

Will there be more questions or will there be returning ones with minigames in them? I'd like to see you come up with more seeing as there were about 50 in the 1st. How many more questions can you possibly put in? I'd like you to put more in, cuz I know you can put way more than 50 in this one.
