DF: Outbreak part 3 ideas?

Posted by JaggedBladeSoftware - March 16th, 2010


Our latest flash game, Dead Frontier: Outbreak 2 has done quite nicely, getting a 4.40 rating, a 9.6 average review score and daily 2nd. We also got onto the Kongregate front page yesterday, so we're definitely going to be doing a part 3 at some stage. However, I've got to be honest - we have very few ideas on where the plot can go from here.

We're wondering, do you guys here on Newgrounds have any good ideas? If so please post in the comments section below! Thanks :)

P.S If you haven't seen part 2 yet, you can check it out here:

The virus goes airborne, Thus causing several of the survivors at your location to become infected, Before long, Most of the people become infected. You, Your wife, And her father seem to be immune, Forcing you to relocate to a new location. You have three types of Transportation, Due to your recent scavenge throughout the city... A car, Two motorcycles, And three bikes(Alternatively, You an go on foot). Along the way, You run low on ammo and food, So you have to scavenge several houses (What's inside, Will be up to you. :3). As dusk falls, You know you need to seek shelter, So you look for the nearest places to hide. Four places, A military base that was overrun, But seems to be empty, A pharmacy, With barricaded windows, But movement inside, A small cottage, With a mounted machinegun on the roof, Or a Car Mechanic building. Once you choose which one you want, And night comes, Hordes of zombies stalk the streets, Looking for humans. Without any other options, You hide in the most secure room of the building, With no windows and only one door way (You decide what happens). If you make it out alive, And daylight breaks, The zombies begin to wander elsewhere. You get on your vehicles, And make a run for it. In the distance, You hear constant gunfire... (Choose what happens). If you go to the sounds, You find a military camp, With about 20 soldiers held up in it. They are fighting, And starting to push the zombies back (Join the fray, Stay out of sight, Etc.) If you don't, You continue down the road and eventually arrive in a small town, That does not seem to be infected, And without zombies (Choose what REALLY is going on). Scavenge supplies. You eventually have to leave the camp/town, And have to move on.

That's all I can think of right now. :3

I think....

Now, The insects and small animals should be currently infected due to prolong exposure to The (un)dead, and are extremely hostile to anything...

I say that now some animals should be included with the infection. Maybe some mutated dogs or crows. Or worse, rats. Those little creeps can get anywhere they want if they wanted.

If human zombies were bad in the cities, what about the wild animals in the wild?

How about different of zombies, like this:
You have refuge in the farm of your father in laws but since nobody works in te water station all the people gen cholera and, wait a minute!...

The New game was really a great sequel =D
i just have to hope that it will be a third.
where maybe a hurricane has broken the whole farm up?
and you have to find a new sanctuary?
maybe very simple but maybe more realistic.
or the birds catch it.
and infects the food.
but the guy is a vegeterian and does not get affected?

Every time I play that game i say "If you combine point and click narrative with some "Classic Dead Frontier" Scavenging and fighting parts, you could get something HUGE!!!

When is the 3D beta for non gold accounts coming out?

Like the two people said above me, adding animals to the fray is probably a good idea. But instead of them turning into zombies, maybe rats can carry the virus. This way, you need to venture out into the wild again to look for:

A. Supplies that can exterminate rodents or
B. A new base.

Change anything you want to, of course.

Creeps Yeah some corrupted animals man, that be sick. Weapons go for a crazy ass melee weapon that would make all mankind have orgasms in their pants my friend. Maybe vechs. in 3? Custom Weapons? Changable character looks? Execution kills? Flying pig bomb(that zombies must have)? Here is the best idea how about a pen for a weapon. I want to go around stabing zombies in the face with a pen.

i want t o be able to see him or her shooting zombies and if u would i would love to be the one shooting zombies an moving him abt but if u can it would been nice if we can shoot the zombies

Mmm....I wonder, have the conclusion of this series coincide with the forming of nastyas? Like he's the founder or some thing like that?
dude! Pwn! You could be this man lol,

ok first add more missons add a view pag elike your gun how much ammo what left of your clip and how many survivors u have with u add a inventory system more locations and a rough pic of r character also add a class system

like tacticalist = person who gets more smart or non deadly choices

gun master = good with gun and firearms

chemist / Medicine / Doctor = u start with aid kits and u get better choies when it comes to determin if some1 is infected who is far away and better use with medical supplies

Hero = you like a balance of all 3 classes and u get a added bonus of your choice like u fin woman hurt and being attacked u can

kill it and her
leave
steal her stuff
try and same her(u die with this 1)
Save her *hero Version*(u save her)

etc etc

Two months after the events in Dead Frontier Outbreak 2, the survivors have discovered a working radio and found a message being sent across the nation by the former military. They were going to nuke the area to get rid of the virus in 10 days. so basically the plot would be get out of the blast area within 10 days while surviving the seemingly infinite infected attackers.

sorry if you don't like this idea but at least its different from the rest of the comments thus far

1) Chuck Norris kills every zombie in the planet and the whole game is a "How to cook this and that game"
2)Michael Jacksons zombie is destroying humanity by raping all the survivor's kids and killing them by singing "thriller" it's your job to kill him to ensure the safety of the world
3)Your the father in law that has alchhaimer and look for his lost teddy bear inside a police station in his underwear
4)After cholera everybody gets AIDS from your wife while you where missing (Those Bastards) and you have to find the cure of the AIDS in like...3 days? xD?
5)In your village you suddenly run out of cookies causing everyone to die from depression.You have to go to the candy mountain and find the cake fairy inside the biscuit chest
6)Your a hippie zombie out in look for pot and cabbage.Will you survive with all those filthy humans that hate you because your too groovy
7)Your a monster trainer that collects monsters and have to fight 8 gym leaders in your nation!...oh that scenario is already used
8)Your an emo that is looking for razor to cut his veins in the apocalyptic wasteland and look for a linking park CD,black and purple paint,hair jel and of course a vibrator to place in your ass (faggot)
9)You come out of Vault 101 in look for your lost father who dies in the middle of the game because his obsessed with his project of making robot-teddy bears of doom...(Scenario is kinda similar to another game xD)
10)Your DUKE NUKEM (Owmagawd!) and you look to kill those bastard that didn't make your game back in 2009.

Well...i am sure those ideas will help a lot xD or at least give you a spark of inspiration

i know theres a lot of comments on here so i hope you read this one.

three weeks pass while your in the farm. your hunt for antibiotics had went well but your wife eventually turned into a zombie. (add options for actions here) (add what happens here) you then run back into town, and find that some gunfire is going on down the street to the left, while on the right you hear a horde of zombie like figures coming towards you. in the front of you is the path you took earlier to the mall. (add options here) (add what happens here) you head the way towards the mall. as you continue down the road on (add transportation here)you see some mutated zombies, ones with claws, spikes,more human skin etc. and as you advance further towards the mall you see a small group of zombies with a few guns in thier hands ready to fire, and that group was the people from the mall on your trip for antibiotics. and the zombie that looks the most smart, intact, and carrys the biggest gun is ox. they turn and notice you one of the members screeches for backup and all you have on you is a crowbar, a medipac, your transportation, and a few rounds for a handgun. (add options here) (add what happens here) you run/pedal as fast as you can to escape the zombies from behind you you try to dodge the bullets that ox is shooting at you and a couple whiz past your head. (add options here) (add what happens here) you dodge into a back alley and crawl through a high window into a house. you see a plunger beside you, you take the plunger and coutiously walk forward crowbar and plunger ready. (go left down the hallway or right to the kitchen) you go right to the kitchen and a zombie looking figure is there.(kill it or try to talk to it.) you kill it and take no chances you quicly lock and barricade the front and back door. you go down the hallway to find a sh*t load of food in one room and tons of medical packs and antibiotics etc. in another. you go to the back room and see a small boy maybe the age of 9 or 10. (talk to him or kill him) you talk to him and he has no bite marks. he is hiding because his mom turned into a zombie. he takes you to the garage where his father kept all his tools and stuff from when he was in world war 2. ( add options here) ( add what happens here) you take the machete and get rid of the plunger. you also take the handgun, extra ammo,to smg's and a 12 gauge shotgun "pump action" you take the kid and watch some spongebob with the kid. half an hour to and hour later the kid gets hungry. he goes to get some food out of a closet and his zombie dad jumps out of the closet and eats his son. when you heard that bloodcrudling scream shivers went down your spine. you run and see what happened and shot both of them in the head quick and painless. (choose to stay in the house or choose to leave.) you take what you can and fill up your backpack and take the bycycle from the garage. you head down the street with knowhere to go and no thought in your mind.

i have to go now so i will let you finish from here let me know what you think.

A zombie enters unoticed in the farm base...turns the humans into zombies..except you,your wife,father in law and another guy...you run to the city back to find supplies and find ox and a pack of 5 survivors.Ox is angry that you ran like a pssy and fights with you..but you win somehow....and Ox calmes down and you unite..searching for a new place to hide...along the way you find an abandoned military outpost where the infected gene was developed...inside you take cover and lock the base...but there come some noises from the lab...and you with ox and some guys need to go and see what's there...and find out some mutated animals and humans...that have different thigs..bone claws...large hands..etc.You find a way to kill them but ox and your father in law dies.After the sad tragedy you find a helicopter in the base and an surviving pilot...but the helicopter has no fuel so you need to go and find some fuel in another city.that you know nothing about... :D hope it helped you and sorry if i misstyped something (my english is quite bad)

Under the farm, you find a secret tunnel system which leads to a destroyed military base.
You and all others go there and build up a base there, you gotta clean the base out first of course.
After you finished you find some survivors and a radio, but you have to go in the town to search for a perfect spot for using it.
After you called for help you gotta make it back to the military base because it is being attacked.
Choose to help them or call for help so YOU survive.
After 1 or 2 days the military comes and saves you.

But on the helicopter they have another survivor..... an infected one.

TO BE CONTINUED

Lol

Whatever you do with it I'll like it because it's unique here in Newgrounds.

How about... A third objective? Like... 'Survive, save you'r wife and save you'r daughter'

You guys could make the game from another persons perspective? Perhaps we can find out how the wife survived in the first game, or what happened to other groups of survivors met throughout the series? Don't worry about it too much, just continue to improve the game play, making choices have a greater effect on how the game and story plays out (improve the 3rd as much as you improved the 2nd game over the first).

You could try this game from the perspective of a nuclear family? Perhaps a woman becomes the main character and she attempts to reunite her children with their father and get to safety. You may or may not have to make tough choices involving sacrificing others for the sake of your children (or vice versa?). Perhaps you could even have surviving members of your group stay behind and barricade and area while you scout ahead, disaster may strike them while you are gone?

You could always pull a 28 weeks later. AKA.... The infected begin to die off and a cleanup operation begins. A few hosts are found ( people infected that can spread the virus but dont show sypmtoms, essentially they have the disease they can spread it but they dont become zombies), While scientists are deciding what to do with them someone unknowingly becomes infected and restarts the outbreak.

I do like the idea of other organisms becoming infected from prolongued exposure.

Or you can just play RE2 and use that as a basis for what wipes out the settlement (excluding birkin or course).

Sorry that my ideas rip off other things but there just starter point ideas to help you.

Oh by the way favourited both of them, 5/5 for both of them so far. Good work.
Read the zombie survival guide, It might give you some ideas as well.

I would suggest the following scenario:
1.) Three weeks pass, with the rare group of zombies attacking the compound.
2.) An extraordinarily bright flash of light is seen at the city; pieces of metal rain down on the surrounding area. The group is forced to move from the farm due to radiation.
3.) As the survivors move across the countryside; they see signs of other survivors; but never actually see more than their corpses, if that.
4.) Survivors encounter a large group of zombies, and must attempt to evade them or be slaughtered.
5.) An abandoned nuclear silo is found. The door hangs ajar, and the air coming forth is stale.
6.) Survivor group works to clear out the silo, and moves in for safety.
7.) A large group of zombies breaks through one of the tunnels connecting to the silo. <character flees and survives the horde, end of game>
Throughout this, the character would take on various roles within the group. For example: during point 4 (encounter with zombie group), he offers suggestions as to the groups strategy. Feel free to use any and all ideas posited here in whole or in part; I look forward to seeing another amazing game from you.
