About this project

Thank you for your interest in The Zombie Game Experiment!

Please make sure to visit our official site: ZombieExperiment.com
As we are always wish to improve the project, please contact us if you have any suggestions.
The Basics

This is an experiment in "Community Game Development". The public funds the development and the public helps to design the game. All donors are given free access to the final version of the game. This game will be a light heated zombie game, which material we can equate to a teen rating.

We accept donations for the experiment which funds the development of the game. 25% percent of the donations and game revenue are donated to TeamFox of the The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

You may donate via KickStarter. If you wish to design the game, you will then need to send a confirmation contact with your forum user name so that we may enable your special forum status.

You may also donate via our automated forum PayPal system.

We have broken the funding milestones into four stages.
Stage One is the initial design stage where we begin to design the game and develop rough builds of the game.
Stage Two is the Alpha Build stage where we have a more stable version of the game with your ideas implemented.
Stage Three is the Beta Build stage where a nearly completed version of the game will be available for testing.
Stage Four is the Gold stage where we begin to market the game and sell it to the public.

We are currently funding: STAGE ONE
Design
Once you have donated you will have access to the design forums!

You may be able to pitch design ideas on the design discussion forums.

As the community agrees and votes on design ideas we will add the designs to the design documents.

A base design is being created by the project management to help start the project. We must start with a base design in order to plan for the total development costs. We are envisioning an iso-metric zombie shooter in-which you gain power-ups. More details will be released as the game is designed!

Development
The Hive Media team will be completing most of the development at reduced costs for the Zombie Game Experiment. Other professionals are welcome to donate their services! If you are interested in donating your services please contact us with your idea and previous work samples. As an incentive, we may be able to add you in the professional credits.

While the development team is still being assembled, here are a few of the people involved:
William Weaver is the Development Director.
Aaron Rosenberg is the Lead Writer. (Information on Aaron can be found in the middle of the linked news update.)
Andrew Lackey is the Sound Designer.
Jonathan Coulton has worked with us to use his "Re: Your Brain" song. (Wikipedia)

The Game Designer is YOU.

Software:
The Zombie Game Experiment will be using the Unity3D middle-ware game engine.
