CYOA Zombie Game On Your Phone?

    Hi folks!

    I'm in the process of creating a text-based "Choose Your Own Action" game for Android and I wanted to see if anyone here is interested in this kind of thing?

    It won't be a zombie survival guide, more like you picking options to survive the beginning of an outbreak of the undead. There won't be clear-cut options where being the bad guy gets you killed, so expect some level of realism in that department. I hope to include multiple endings and the option of getting bitten, but continuing on. I don't think it'll be an easy task to include some kind of mechanic where you've been bitten and are trying to hide it from the rest of the group(If you have one), but we'll see where we end up with this.

    The game will start off with an introduction, and from there you will be given a few options to choose from. At certain points, there will be a time limit on making this choice, with sounds effects to make the game seem more real. An example of this will be at the start of the game, with you on a bus and zombies eating the bus driver. More are slowly entering the bus as their attention drifts away from the driver. You could hide, smash an emergency window, or try to slip past them before more appear (Remember the timer?). If you don't do anything within say, a minute, then you get eaten alive.

    Based on the options you choose(Or that get chosen for you due to a timeout), you'll pick up items that will unlock further options later on down the line. A simple example of this would be smashing a window would give you a "shard of glass" item that you could use later on in the game to cut a rope that's tying a door down. Or just to defend yourself/attack someone else for their stuff.

    It's going to have americanisms in it, so plenty of "cops", "sidewalks", etc to keep the lingo used as recognisable as possible. Lastly, it'll be free, since that'll guarantee a wider audience.

    So, are you folks interested in this kind of thing? Or are you already a big fan of text adventures?

    Mod: This is market research and nothing to do with Zombie Survival. Please dont make posts like this without asking mods permission first, also see the forum charter for relevant information regarding this subject.
