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.
- Con

looks great only question is, will zombies have a health bar thingy mahoozin and will the scope just be a cursor with cross hair thingy mahoozin? oh and will the guns have a +5 atk and 3- defense or will it be more of like the MW2 thingy mahoozin.

No, no and not really, no.
- Con

Hey, Con this game sounds great.

you’ll never be safe from annoying comments con bwahahaha BWAHAHAHAHA !!!

Bwaahahaha, I will when I start banning people. Guess who just jumped to the top of the list!
- Con

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

dude con whyd you delete my first post i was the first commentet

Because I find the whole “FIRST!ZZ!@aa11″ thing completely asinine. Keep it up and you might even earn a ban!
- Con

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?

wow this game’s gonna be great. though i have to wonder, how will the scope work?

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.

nice fact sheet con btw why did you delete my first post? good luck on the game im looking forward to it!

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.

hay con i was just wondering maybe you could take some ideas from the zombie survival guide book because a lot of people dont have guns
anyway keep up the good work!

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

You should make a full out deffence game with a base, character, zombies, the works and release it on a system Xbox 360. I think you could do a good job with a little help

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.”

Very cool thanks for the “Fact Sheet”.

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 your going to delete this anyways but here it goes:
Make some of the zombies as kids and teenagers instead of all of the zombies adults.

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.

oops thats 50% not 50 . . . soz

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

I know your making the character break free, with the ability to roam around, but will there be absolutely no more of the shooting behind a barricade in this third installation?

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?

Hey, Con, I think that you should put a demo a few days or months before it gets out. Dont ya think?

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

If the survivors follow you around wouldn’t that slow the game down a hefty bit?

That’s along with all the other stuff, like searchable containers and night day cycles etc.

It sounds like you’ll be pushing Flash 10 pretty far. Do you think that some computers will have trouble running Union City the way you intended?

Also, so no driving UFOs with mounted lasers?

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

@dominic Prolly will be the first to post something along the lines of “FIRST!!!11!!1!@22!!!1! to be banned!”

sounds sick

why not getting 2 pistols at a time that will be pretty kewl or

u could build like safe house to buy guns insead of every wave getting guns there

well thanx con

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.

hey con cool alphas i gonna have to enjoy the slow motion thing activated by the flash light but its good to be fast nice fact sheet i was goin to ask a question but the sheet answered it thanks

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

Will you be able to obtain weapons in ways other than searching? One thing I’m hoping for is that it’s not all randomized like in the previous games…

there’s a ban list?

Hmm, a fact sheet, now I know stuff…

And another question now :

Con, do you play Deadfrontier?
Its a free Zombie MMO, maybe you can get some more ideas from there?

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.

Well it`s really interestin and informating about the game

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

Left 4 Dead Zombies pl0x?

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

hey Australia day mite

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)

Epic defensive maneuver, Con.

No annoying question/suggestion here, but I just wanted to say Good luck and Godspeed.

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

hey are you gonna have a zombie kind a thing how u can walk around eating people.

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

where is my comment its gone or was it not a good question even though it was

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.

Can survivors be infected if they are bitten by a zombie? Oh and good luck cant wait til its out! :3

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.

Hey Con, have you decided if you can give the survivors Clothing, food, guns, amunition?

-Thanks, Exeara.

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.

Con , i never thought of what you would put in the game , what i thought is , whatever you put in it , i will definitely play and rate a 10/10

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

how will it work for food and surval beacuse well it be like if your hungrey ur more weak( can walk/run as fast lose more health when attack by zombies?) and yes i know u talk about food in your question list

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

off topic a little but who suggested aliens

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.

How will equipment be carried? Will it be a Resident Evil type thing?

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!!!

will there be diferent kinds of weapons like types : shotguns
semi auto weapons
and other things ???

ps. i love ur game con ^^

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

hey, liked the game play!

I would like to make one smaaaallll suggestion:
and that is to just make the weapons reload WHEN your fired the last shot, instead of having to fire once to reload…

Thanks, and great job!

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.

i think last stand union city is goin come out really cool

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

hey con hows the production going on the last stand union citiy alpha

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

Just funny with dominic and Sweet My mind is now put to rest

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

so can you buy wepons pick them up hire mecinarie that kinda stuff?

hey con when will the next alpha game come out

well ill ask will there be a defend mode like in last stand 1 and 2?

oh ya will survivors follow u or go past you?

Well, whit this hope you get less spam. I usually read all comments and well… I surely used the BAN! button with too much of them. Hope you get less and less unuseful comments/posts, and don’t work too much on Last Stand, some rest is good, and wait a litle more makes me feel like of it. Sorry about my quite bad English and greetings from Spain!

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

will it still have a large scale map of union city like number 2 so you can select different segments of the city?

lets all shut up and let con do his magic

hey con i’ve been a huge fanatic about the last stand since day one and the second one made me jump on my computer for hours and i just said Left 4 Dead can wait but anyway, I’m not sure if you posted a release date and i wasn’t paying attention but i’m dying to play this so if you could post a possible release date that would be awsome unless you already posted one.

Peace

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

Relating to my first question; what about killing non-zombie people(like people trying to steal your supplies or psyco people).

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

Is your health gonna respawn or are you gonna have to find first aid…..is your survivors health gonna respawn or are you gonna have to heal them, or do they heal themselves

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.

yay ,its only a couple weeks/days till last stand ,i hope my internet doent break down then

Con I love you

Hey con why did you delete my question….i asked about the health. I looked at your fact sheet and it had nothing about it

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.

have you got news ??

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

man i still cant wait till it comes out when it does im going to play it most of the time anyway goodluck with everything con

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

wheres con hes not responding to any comments and isnt adding news? did zombies capture him and make him a zombie for the games he made?

Nope, just means I’m working.
- Con

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

hey usp .45, 44 magnum, desert eagle, colt .45, stery m, and a my personal favorite browning buckmark. and some silencers and large mag. you said one your twitter suggestions so yeah

Yeah, generally I’d expect responses on my Twitter. But since you named a couple of guns I’d not heard of (the Steyr M and the Buckmark) I’ll let it slide.
- Con

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?

I think that the game is sounding like it’s going to end up being the game that i thought left4dead should have been.

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

Hey con
my other question will there be dual weapons like dual berreta

No dual weilding, no.
- Con

Slovak gun,and GrandPowerK102R.

Wow the game looks like its really been coming along. Im hoping to get into somewhat of game design myself but idk where to start,Also no promises about being on the web after Bioshock 2 comes out. Freeze + drill-to-the-face ftw!

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

By searchable containers, do you mean you can search them and their “stock” refreshes after some time? Or are they just 1 time breakable containers?

It’s a Fallout 3 type setup, you’ll see soon enough.
- 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 have to share your weapons with your survivors or will they spawn with their own?

They’ll probably have their own ammo pool, but you’ll be able to provide them weapons.
- 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

How about a claymore, (the sword) or a musket, or a plasma screen TV as a barricade?
Oh, and have a pair of scissors as a backup weapon in case you run out of ammo, and your melee weapon breaks?

Since when was this a suggestion thread.
- 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

hey con are we gonna also gonna find medic kits or make or own weapons like a lighter+sprayer=flame thrower

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

well im still wating till last stand 3 comes out till then i’ll just play my xbox 360 so……………..have a good day con

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

can you please give us a better date than first half of 2010

I would if I could.
- 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

Hey Con why didn’t you answer my question about the health….its no in the fact sheet i noticed that you answered later posts

Sorry what was it?
- 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

oh and are you gonna heal your fellow survivors or do they heal them selves

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

No
- Con

can u still travel like in last stand 2?

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

I’m not to sure about the random zombie spawning. I’d rather have it to where you go into a building and clear the zombies but you still have to deal with zombies coming through the entrance.

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

nice u fixed the flashlight problem and when will the next alpha come out plz tell me.

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?

all i want 2 know will the main character from the first last stand games make a cameo as the story goes and if he is in the game will he help u kill off the zombies thats in the game

Will there be a free mode where you have all weapons and you can choose do you have survivors with you?

Will there be any vehicle that can be use , for example car, bus,truck or anything ?
