Introduction to zombies, a java game

Introduction

Zombies is a text based rpg style game that involves a little more strategy since you are trying to rebuild mankind. The idea behind the game so far is to create something that users can play over and over again trying out different options to get a step up in the game.

There are multiple types of zombies,  16 to be exact(possibly more in the future), with varying attributes such as speed, strength and health. The chance of which you encounter these creatures is based on your level. You  can encounter these zombies on chance when collecting resources, finding survivors and hunting zombies. They will also appear when building outside of the confinements of your settlement walls or during the dark when lighting is poor.

As the game continues and your settlement grows bigger(if you even choose to have a settlement) the zombies will become more attracted to you as a food source as the population of survivors lessens. The whole game is based around the idea of building up something that was lost and the zombies are the one thing making that even more of a challenge.

Done

So far in the code the menu systems have been created, the zombies have a chance on entering battle, player stats and town stats are counted, new variables are brought into play, text commands are being inputted, battle systems are partially completed(pending on how much more is needed or will be added), day counters have been created.

On the list…

The game is well under way as far as being created goes, the only thing that is now required is the finishing touches that consist of; research, technology trees, weather, settlement chores and the ability to have survivors do those tasks for you, finishing up the battle system and adding a few fun Easter eggs.
