Fort Zombie

Sword of the Stars developer Kerberos Productions today announced a game certain to make the vast swathes of the Internet break down and weep tears of joy--Fort Zombie.

Set in the randomized fictional town of Piety, Indiana, during the zombie apocalypse, Fort Zombie will see players fortifying a school, prison or police station and scavenging for food, fuel and ammunition by day, defending against the undead hordes at night.

Rescuing NPC survivor families from the town's assorted stores, restaurants, gas stations and homes will bring new skills to your fort, though certain special zombies will remember skills of their own from their former existence to use against you.

Published by Paradox, Fort Zombie is slated to arrive on PC this fall at a mere $14.99.
Sounds good to me.

Actually, this basically sounds like my zombie game idea that I documented a couple of times.  I wonder if they read our boards.

It looks a little budget-y, but... well, I guess it's a budget game.  Hopefully it turns out awesome anyway, because if it's even semi-cool I'll probably love it.

TWO Trailers from Shacknews.

EDIT:
Now, I like what this game has going on and all w/ zombies, forts, mixing RPG and RTS stuff - and of course, the price of this game ($10). Cheap money.

But, since it also ain't nowhere even remotely close to the best-looking game around, the trailer worries me b/c the framerate and camera looks horribly laggy. With this kind of graphical state, this game should be silky smooth at all times - especially in a TRAILER to promote the game.

What kind of PC they run this thing on? Please tell me it wasn't a monster PC.

Wow. They better have a demo because that video was terrible.

If this thing does have a demo and somehow that demo runs great on my PC, I'd take some in-game vids, e-mail the video to Paradox and Kerberos and say, "I think THIS should be your TRAILER."
