Union City - Fact Sheet

Wow you made a fact sheet hopefully that will slow down some of your question problems. I think it covers most of the questions (even though you’ve already said this) but im still wondering how survivors will work, i know you said they follow you around but i mean that would mean that they cant die since they would be behind you and a attack from the right would mean that you would die before the survivors (you said that you cant walk through zombies and im guessing that means survivors to) maybe the survivors have a mind of their own im not really sure a reply would be helpful (if you have already planned something for that)

Survivors might get a pass on walking through zombies, need to figure out the A.I for them yet.

Hey, Con this game sounds great.

cool its always good to know things you’ll never need to know

i know your still working but do you still think you can make your deadline, or will you be going over by say two months?

Very nice. Hopefully this will reduce the spam of “OMFG ANSER MAH QUEZTIO!N!!!!!”. Just hopefully, considering the fact some idiots can’t read and won’t even bother with the fact sheet. Oh well, atleast it will reduce it by a bit.

Cool. This will help reduce repeated questions and provide a reference point for when the game is finished. I think there is something similar on the forums.

I noticed that fact sheet a while back. Not a bad feature.
Keep up the good work.

I love updates. More so than I like comments. Although there will be more comments regarding things you didn’t put up on the fact sheet, such as traps, guns, and a big sign that says “Don’t ask me stupid shit.”

Great info and also great things to look forword to. I have only one question. Will you find armor as well throughout your search?

I know you might not like this suggestion but how about +50 damage when hit from behind?

I know this means more collision detection but it might just make people want to sneak up on the zombies in stead of going all rambo on them.

wel sorry but come on you know i was just kidding dude

im really curious about how different types of sights will work.i would appreciatre it if you could shed some light on that.also,will there be another alpha?

will we be stuck to the city or are going to let us go to the forest or lakes or maybe out to sea? just wondering and have you thought about other survivor groups fighting your guys and group. also will you see military patrols or majorly quarintined zones that you have to go through to escape. Please answer- bubbleboy

hey con artist will we be able to steal (jack) other buildings and can we upgrade armour weopens Etc…..?

sounds sick

Thanks Con!

It’s werid, the more and more i learn about YOUR zombie game the more and more it sound like my zombie game i’m gonna make… you haven’t hacked into my documents of my game have you!?

Anyway, i know this sounds rather noobish and vain but… Can you make me as a survior in your game!? I mean you might be running out of idea’s for storys of the characters and stuff. So just in case. Here’s me:

BASIC:
Male

LOOKS:
Spikey Brown hair
Tanned skin
normal face
no facial hair

SKILLS:

Edurance and Interlect
( except exspolsives ) are my strong points. I’m okay with a meele weapons but let’s just say my accuarracy with guns… well… sucks.

MY STORY:

On day 1 i tried to defend my house but we got overun by zombies. I ran to the basement but my family didn’t make it. Only me, and my dog. ( my cat was outside when the infection hit )

I came out on Day 11 when the supplies ran out. My dog ran off into the streets and i was alone. So i grabbed what food and supplies i could gather from my ruined house, put a kitchen knife in my bag, a survial knife in my pocket and held my axe with two hands and i’ve been searching for my dog ever since. I come if to rescue surviors in need if they call for help, but i won’t join anyones survior group unless they find my dog and give him to me ( QUESSSSTTT!!! ) then i give the player some food and some supplies and the abilty to join their team.

Since the game is a RPG are you gonna put secret easter eggs in it coz that would be cool

there’s a ban list?

lol Here’s one you forgot to put in the ‘Not in the game’ list. Multiplayer. You’ve said it’s out of your expertise.

Awesome Thing.

But there are so many Idiots here on the internet… so you have to ban them^^ that’s the only way to stop ‘em from being totaly annoying…

Can’t wait for the First Beta… game looks great allready, just like all your games.

But don’t work to much… cuz you have better things to do than working on the game the hole time

-Psycho

Just wondering exactly what you mean when you say zombie/weapon spawns will be based on the characters current state.

Hey con,thanks for making the fact sheet i imagine it will come in handy…

P.s. What is the main characters name though?I dont think that was ever made clear…(maby it was and i just missed it)

its epic adding on to umyeahs post will they be like the guys in sonny and have like there own stats and stuff that u can upgrade

ya that’s right ban them =))))) by the way have you given a thought on the mobile minigun i was talking about ? look it up on google if you didn’t believe me then

If only these things worked out as intended. People reading them, understanding them and ceasing the flow of sub par questions. But then you only get even more “lawlz, whut about…” ones. Amirite or amirite?

Anyway!

I can foresee trying to be all sneaky. Suppressed sniper rifle, scope zoomed in, crouching. Then a survivor unloads a shotgun and in come the zombies. Hopefully there is a “STFU, n00b” command for the survivors.

Other than that, I can not wait.

Hey I was wondering if u could add an inventory to the game and when you find items u can combine them to create a weapon. Example combining a deodorant can and a lighter can create a flame thrower and then you can set a hot key for that weapon.

evryday i get closer and closer to last stand union city coming out i get happier and even happier with the posts you put up.

Could you update the page on the plot a tad more?

great fact sheet but that still leaves me with a query: will we need to give survivors ammo or do they have their own

Give you alot of credit for putting up with the kids this long… Ignore them, you have an epic game to build! By-the-by fact sheet was a big help for what the game consist of…Should also limit your updates from here on out and let you finish building the game.

i think your game needs aliens in cars, with lazers… just sayin

haha nah im just trying to sound like the people you really dont want to hear from so other people will know what not to write

also take as much time as you need with this game, and design it how ever you think is best, because honestly your past games have been amazing and you deserve all the credit for making games even better then anyone should expect from you, and even better then they expect everytime

your a great game designer Con, keep up the good work!!!

i cant wait for last stand to come out,when it comes out im going to play it eveyday

Hmm..is it all going to be 2D, or will there be more than one plane to walk on? Like what the zombies could do in the previous games? There were like 4 planes, if i’m not mistaken.

That would also mean that your survivors could walk ALONGSIDE you, rather than behind you, meaning that A.They wouldnt be shooting AT you, and B.It would adress the “Then survivors cant die” catch mrntioned in an earlier post.

will some of the shotguns be able to push the zombies back? or will they just get a diffrent aime

Lol Con, Lol, nice move.Keep up the good work!

well i read the fact sheet again and im guessing you deleted my comment cause i asked if there was a boss zombie and it says SPECIAL like l4d well i meant boss when you say special it means like hunter boomer smoker not the actual boss cause thats considered a boss so will there be a boss zombie not a SPECIAL zombie a BOSS zombie

hey con when will the next alpha game come out

oh ya will survivors follow u or go past you?

is the diary gonna come back and it will for every in game day record how many zombies you kills what weapens you found
how many survivers you found/lost etc. and will it also record story and also are you going to add a kick button for when cornered by zombies
i couldnt find this information on the sheet

lets all shut up and let con do his magic

What about morals? By that I mean that things you do effect your ability to communicate people? Like killing your own survivors.

hey this game sounds super cool can’t wait…take your time don’t rush it

LOL@ no lasers or aliens! Unbelievable.

Race DNE for humans - should be ethnicity. Though I think you won’t even put a word to describe it at all anyways in the game - you’ll just choose visually probably.

One thing I really like about zombie games was the ability to communicate with the “survivors” or “civilization” - maybe a radio along the way to help?

And one thing that was very annoying in the previous games was that the other survivors died so quickly! It took so long to get 4 survivors helping you out, and then along comes this runner who kills two of them on your last day. Any way to assist each other? Combos or something?

Anyways, I’m a huge fan of your art - your commitment to quality and “final vision” is unique and commendable. Thanks for the awesome times. I especially liked juggerdome, but everything you do is great.

Con I love you

So far the game is looking good, my max fps is 27 a mean fps of about 19 and a low of 12, I only achieve twelve with flashlight on though. I guess I won’t be using that flashlight much.

ok so ive read your FACT SHEET ty for the Info but i dont think this is in there

Will you be able to shoot survivors.
You can probably walk through survivors.
Survivor weapons or weapon menu,
Ex: press M for weapon menu to equip certain weapons.
Ex:Press E to interact with Survivors
Things like that to “DO” (hotkeys) the action

No, yes, of course, of course of course.
- Con

……. im bored plus i have a ton of homework man i hate school (sigh) well i still cant wait till it comes out

last union city is so cool thanks for making the fact sheet have a good day con and PILLS HERE

i have red the fact sheet and i still have a question in left for dead you can push/attack zombies with your weapons will that be posible in the last stand or do you need a melee weapon for attack.(sorry for my bad English)

PS: can you push zombies with melee weapons?

Well con, everything looks to be going good. As for the handguns, try remington 500 or a colt navy revolver.

Slovak gun,and GrandPowerK102R.

curiously suggestin,will there like some cutscenes like in RE4 & MGS3 where you need to push this button in order to dodge this or necessarily escape somethin

No.
- Con

For Zombies:
are they gonna use weapons like axe or a hammer
For Humans:
Are gonna like find them on other places like in their neighborhoods,malls or alleys etc.

No and yes.
- Con
-

Will you yourself or survivors be able to wield some make-shift shields like foldable chairs, plywood or,say,car doors.

No. *cough* Army of Two *cough*
- Con

As far as guns go, will you be adding a lot of different guns (may I suggest five-seven, dragunov, glock 21 and g36e) or will you try and keep the arsenal kind of small?

It’ll be bigger than previous games.
- Con

Also, I’ve been dying to know when the finished copy might come out. Got any idea?

con this game is very awsome i mean i was pretty tired of shooting behind a barricade to its a good thing u made it so we can move the charater move around u sure do come up with good ideas con

I must say the game at this point looks completely awsome. I don’t care how long i have to wait as long as i can play.
Just a small question, will the speed you move at increase and decrease acording to your pack weight and strength?

P.S. To anyone that for some reason or other feels they must make a weapon suggestion… just don’t. Most of the suggestions are impractical as the weapons are either military exclusive or will have bassically no ammo availible due to special calibers.

Speed will increase based on some attributes, yes. Will look at maybe having it affected by pack weight, good idea.
- Con

Is your healthh going to respawn or are you gonna have to find health packs….same thing with your fellow survivors

Fact sheet.
- Con

Will some survivors have supplies that you can buy from them?

No
- Con

Sorry to ask again but will you be able to take things from dead humans and zombies like fallout 3?

I would like to know if there will be cheats like infinite ammo if you beat the game or something?

i like your sence of humor wich brings me 2 my qestion will there be cheeszy or funny things said when we try convince ppl 2 join the team?
