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?

wow! that was awesome! you guys make a really kick ass zombie game and yes text based games are still fun as hell! also, the online game of DF is totally epic, i've been playing scene the start of the summer. keep doing what your doing because lots of people love it!

I loved text based games mainly because you can use your imagination instead of having everything illustrated to you

Anyway I think you should definitely make another game and maybe make it a bit longer :P

I loved it.

zombie genre doesn't have enough of these well made games, or even well thought out stories.

Keep up the great work and i hope to see a number two.

This...Game...is... EPIC BALL SAUCE!!!

uhhh... nohomo...

Absolutely! I was entirely immersed in the game. It may have not been as complex as a shooter or RPG, but it kept me interested and before i knew it i couldn't stop playing it. I especially appreciated the checkpoints and the ranking at the end. The storyline was great and thank you for including a click on the narration to speedy up the story. Great game! Keep it coming!

I would love to see another Dead Frontier. I found this one to be pretty fun but the only bad thing was the lack of animation. Some people just aren't interested by text-based games anymore, so I think that having some animations in the game would help get more people interested.

Please make another one. There is a lot of potential for the story even if it doesn't make the top games list it was great and there are enough people on newgrounds who like reading not to mention I guess the biggest thing you need to ask yourself is if you guys had fun doing this because let me tell you it was a lot of fun.

You must continue this game. It is amazing.

i got b for survival and f for compassion so yes make another

It got front page.

But I recommend that you add some of you're animations of the scenes.

hell yah!dude i loved everything about this game.please make a second continuation please!!

another thing as well.try adding some animations and this game would be even WAY better then the first one.even thought the first one was badass as hell. literally.

an reading that was no problem.adding the voices made it solid gold for me =]

Well I think that the game was good :) A bit too linear since most choises just forced you to the one same path. (or dead end)
I'd think currently zombie fans and many others (including me) really enjoyed the game.

Also, I would have enjoyed more visuals and sounds in the game like:

"I moved towards the zombie from behind (pic of a zombie characters back with bloody clothes) I grapped the crowbar with my both hands and hit the zombie with an overhead slam (attack line effect from up to down with a splat and cracking sound effect) and the zombie fell to ground with his head splittered (the zombie image "falls away" from the screen at the time the text is read)"

This is just my opinion but give it some thought :)

Sure!
Really good game, the story is really good also.
Tips:
-Make it more animated, I mean for example, when you click an option, it would be nice to see a little flash animation or some video like that, that show the action we chose (for example when you chose to go to the bathroom, it would be nice to see de man running to it, and then seing the yombies appear at the end of the hall, etc.)
-Alternate endings
-Faster letters

Luck next time ;) (I wait for the second part)

Oh yes, faster letters would be nice. I never listened to the narrator, i clicked and read the text. So maybe scenes should appear at once, and with his voice.

make more! don't be discouraged.

I completely enjoyed this one and you should definitely make another one. Btw your score is now a 4.04

More.
MOREEE!!!!

Yes, you should.

I think you should make another.
NG suffers from a lack of text adventures, and yours was quite good.
I think the next one should focus more on multiple endings though, as there were only really 2 outcomes (besides dying).
If you want help with this, I have a bit of experience with making Choose Your Owns, though I would be a fool to call myself pro.
Anyway, just a thought. Please do make another, though.
