KvP:
So basically there was this guy Brian Mitsoda, and he's tall and he wrote the game Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines which was very well written, and he did early work on Alpha Protocol for Obsidian entertainment.

Anyway he left Obsidian some time ago and just a few days ago he announced that he had started a small game development company with another Obsidian castoff, Annie Carlson. Along with Iron Tower studios, a firm more famous for mostly being made up of members of shitbucket gaming forum RPG Codex than anything else, they are developing an as-yet-untitled game. The details are as follows.

- The game is set during the onset of a zombie apocalypse. Social order breaks down and characters have to fend for themselves and make decisions that have grave consequences.

- The game will be turn-based with a third-person POV (not sure if it's isometric at this point)

- Zombies are slow. No L4D / 28 X Later stuff.

- Contains social commentary befitting disaster-oriented fiction. Expect belabored parallels with Hurricane Katrina and the like. Hobbesian state of war blah blah blah.

-Game is about survival. Scavenging resources, exploring areas, dealing with other survivors, and managing a “shelter” of sorts are the main focus of the game. More info to be provided on this at some point.

-Game is open-ended. There are characters to find and events that could happen, but the story depends on where you go, what you do, and who you meet. More info to be provided at some point.

So I think the concept is pretty strong, and I've been clamoring for a horror RPG for a good long while, so I'm keeping an eye on this. It'll be a few years till this comes out, if it ever does.

Spluff:
I wonder if the people down at RPG Codex will hate their own game just as much as they hate everything else.

This sounds interesting, kind of like a RPG version of the original STALKER concept.

Melodic:
It almost sounds like my dream game except the third-person turn-based stuff.

snalin:
Third person turn based? I wonder if it's more like Return to Krondor or Baldur's Gate

LTK:
I thought that all the possible concepts for zombie apocalypse had been done already. Guess I was wrong.
