Honestly the story was very immersive, and I played it to the end. The reason it didn't score higher is because it was only a script, if you were to animate each section and add more visual elements to the game play then I guaranty the game would score a lot higher. Although this of course takes a lot more time and effort... but making games isn't suppose to be a walk in the park. I personally think you should continue the story. Better luck next time.

i loved it i would recomend to add checkpoints if you make another because the firts time i played it i got to the end and left my wife and i had to start again to get it right
mabie alternate ways of winning aswell i would definatly like to see more though
I updated it to have checkpoints at the start of each new area (office, street, road etc)
You should, i liked it, i even started playing the MMO
i think u shouldmakea nother dead fronteir i liked thefirst one
Yes, you should make another one neil, I thought it was going to be a rpg like the others but it wasn't worse neither, nice storyline and actor. I'm waitin' another one
Absolsolutely! I would really like a dead frontier 2.
By the way I want it to be hard. No save points because it somehow makes it more reallistic (you only live once... if you don't become a zombi xD). And complex situation with no easy answer. I think that lots of people have already read the zombi survival guide so I in my opinion you should stay away from textbook questions, I know that it's a great source of inspiration but you are awesome and I'm sure you can come up with something original and reallistic like that situation in the bathroom.
I also love to have funny ansers like "have another cup of coffee" and to be albe to behave like an ashole and still survive. I my opinion I think that if you behave like a bastard during all the game you should not commit suicide because your wife dies (I know its just a game and its ok for me, i'm just trying to give some ideas).
Thanks!
Hell yeah Neil! Make another!
I actually loved the text-only gameit really gets you into the story
And, yes, you should make another
Well, yeah I guess part of the problem why this didn't end in a high score is that text based games aren't so interesting for most people anymore, but even though that problem exists, 3,85 is not a bad score at all and makes it probably worth it to make another chapter.
Like mentioned already, a bit more animation could probably enhance it, but it's quite good already (else you wouldn't have gotten that score) and I would enjoy a second part.
make more but aniamtion would be cool or if not that the backround should change with every choice
Yes.Pretty please. I loved every bit of the game. I suggest giving it more choices though, and maybe switching the order of choices. I found that most of the time the last answer was usually the best.
Checkpoints were too scarce, the choices were usually obvious enough but sometimes I just wanted to see what would happen.
I disliked your weak use of graphics
I would say if you are that negative on animating the story, at least give a fresh picture each step.
3.85 is really above average.Also,I like you're text-based game,it got me really into the game.But I must say,I kinda hate the blur on the background,kinda hurt's my eyes,Btw I think that's just me.Anyways,I think you're series is really awesome,and that you should really keep on doing what you do.~~
S102~~
yea
Pretty good but it was just like an interactive book maybe change it to an interactive animation much like the assault series.
Where its like a movie but you choose the choices.
what?! You're doubting the creation of DF: Outbreak 2??
First off, the DF series is awesome. Your storylines fit perfectly. Outbreak was a nice change of pace from the generic 'go here and defend this' or 'get to point A whilst killing Zombies' gamestyle of the Zombie games.
Second: It had a very nice World War Z feel to the storyline, and it would be nice to see the same events from a different perspective. Maybe even a different part of the world (ie Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, England, you get the point).
Last, but not least: It's hard not to sell yourself short with text based games. They really are hit or miss. But from what I've seen, DF: Outbreak is a success. So yeah, go ahead with a chapter 2. I've no doubt that you'd continue to build your fanbase on Newgrounds with it.
Keep it you.
awww, dude Dont curb your creativity because you didnt get to the front page. Make your games because you are passionate about it and it shows in your works. Writing a great script require talent and you two brothers got a big hit here. Motivate yourselves to make another hit.. listen to eedback and if there is a specific aspect of the game that excites your audience, capatilize on that specific feature.
IMO I would love to see art/animation to each scene .. even if its a still or the character is just standing there watching out for his next move.
Try approaching various artists on the art section to try styles that suite the undertones of your next game.
Don't stop the flow, dive right in.
On the other hand, would love to see what else you guys can cook up.
Cheers
Ajay
PS: DF is on the fornt page ;)
You should definatly make another one. It was (in my opinion) better than the rest. 6/5
Yeah! Make another! That game was great, the story was awesome, It made me feel like I was there (minus the action and barfing...) Also, You should have a little animation after each choice you make (Like the part with the zombie and the brick)

It wasnt frightening, or gripping enough to make people vote higher.
Lovecraft was better at it :) I must say i liked the game, but many people get bored quickly.
3.85 is really above average :P But it says awesome game.Some games on the front page have less than 3.70 and theyre there!
