Should we make another DF: Outbreak?

Posted by JaggedBladeSoftware - September 17th, 2009


Me and my brother were planning to make a few more episodes of Dead Frontier: Outbreak in order to continue the story. However we were a little disappointed by the score it got (3.85 ish) - we were kind of hoping it would do a little better. Chances are the game won't make the front page with that kind of score.

Is it just that nobody wants to play a text-only game anymore? I can totally understand that since reading can be a chore sometimes. But I also feel it can be a lot more immersive. Also thought the voice would help make it more interesting but guess it'd didn't make a huge difference.

So Newgrounds, would you like to see more of this kind of game or should we just move on?

that was fucking awesome. there were a few glitches to the story though.

Hell ya make another one!

make another ^^

Hell yeah u should it jumped aboved 4.00 its good, bring on the next with alittle more variety and choices and ending

yes you should, its the best game (in my opinion) on newgrounds. put more pictures in it though and the BG-music should vary more, just a bit.

Another one would be a great idea. Though for improvements more visuals would be nice, as there were only about three different backgrounds if I recall correctly. Also, make the next one less linear. Give it some more alternate paths to increas ethe replay value. I mean, in this one there were decisions you could choose but at the end of it you always made it back to the house to your wife. maybe that should be changed so you can end up doing other things? The part where you sieze a vehicle is also a bit lacking, because no matter which vehicle you took the story progresssed in the same way.

If you do that it'll be even better next time!

You may not know it AdminPwn but Dead Frontier: Outbreak made the featured game spot! It's on the front page right now! I rather enjoy text based adventures, I just don't play them that much. This was a very enjoyable game though. I'd really like to see more of these, and keep up the good work on DF, we expect many great things from it.

Hey, I loved your game and your story. I would definitely play a sequel - I love writing and zombies, and this felt like I was immersed in a book. Your voiceactor nailed it, too.
I agree with one comment on the game page suggesting it should be more of an open game - it did feel like there was no straying from one, set path. I think you could make an even better, improved game with a sequel.
If you ever feel like you need an extra hand story wise, I wouldn't mind spending a bit of time throwing ideas around the table.
Thanks for the excellent game, hope you make another :D

I loved Dead Frontier: Outbreak I Thought it was well put together and fun I was always nervous about my choices didn't wanna fuck up lol I'm waiting for Outbreak 2 now! you can do it!

yes yes YES!i loved this game soooo much!i love these kind of games i AM ON MY KNEES!MAKE ANOTHER GAME IF U KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR U!!!!!!

PLEASE make at least a couple sequels to this game. I'm not kidding; I absolutely loved it.

I didn't mind all the reading because the storyline was so intelligent and enthralling, and I loved the idea that you make it through the game using logical decision making instead of just reflexively shooting down zombies.

And I don't think it needs more animated segments, unlike what some other people thought. I like the text format because it leaves a lot more to your imagination. This is a really unique game because it doesn't depend on animation and graphics, just intelligence and imagination. I'm really looking forward to the next part.

Woaw, that game is almost like a movie. I really enjoyed it!!! 5/5 10/10!

Totally make another one. I'd say improve on the audio quality however, if it's just going to be another text adventure. Also get a different voice actor or have him read differently. The guy works at an office. He isn't Solid Snake.
(Hell, voice acting for this'd be fun...)

All in all though DF: Outbreak is very enjoyable! I also play the MMO as well. ;D

Yes you should make another! That game rocked! The only people who didn't like it were the 30% of NG's members who are 13 or younger.

Yes please make another one this one was alot of fun.

I thought it was really good, and the score system was pretty cool too. I would really like to know how the story goes on. Keep up the good work!

maybe joining text with action like seperate levels for different paths would be good. some animations for text ? the game is good but people want some extra fireworks to it i think. if you would ever need some creepy ambient music just write.

I think you should definitely make a sequel, this game has proved to be a success already and there are a lot of people [myself included] how would like to see more text games of this calibre on newgrounds.

Dude seriously that game pwnd in my opinion, I have left a review too :) But as someone below me said, you should try animating the situations along with each action, like...umm...have you played a game called "Life of Ray"? Well like that game. That's just to get high ratings though because there are not that many people like me (a black screen with text is fine with me, i have a tremendous imagination :P). So, well, uhh... yeah you should definately make a sequel, if it's voice-acted then gather your friends and work miracles.

yes plz make more of this game. And I also had a few ideas for your game as well want to hear them just pm me. and I have been a fan of deadfrontier when I played the first night it was awsome.
