Err, well, how about making a nice description first to try and convince us to download this?

 

[whiteboy]

seemed like a good concept, but the entire game seems very repetitive and hard of sight. also i felt nearly hopeless in the beginning and near the end the zombies just wouldn't die. I recommend starting easier and then getting harder, not just increasing the zombies health. Other than the sight and "undying zombies" it seems like a really good game.

Use BB Codes to make your description more attractive; BB Codes found in my sig!
Terrain.. well lets just say its just plain and you could improve it alot more! You should add a difficulty system; Eg Easy Normal Hard. Gameplay is too repetitive and boring!!
RATING: N/A REJECTION

IM A MAN, and im gonna test it before raging, BRB.

Edit, The map was very well done, I like the models, how you build and stuff, BUT its very hard to solo, Id make some kind of "solo" mode, cuz it was waaay to many zombies.

If you want info on the special zombies, you can go to the special zombie info page on the ZFS website. Here's the link ---> http://zombieforest.webs.com/specialzombieinfo.htm

Improve your description, otherwise, gameplay is decent enough, 3/5

Did you know if you try to shoot a fellow marine, a chicken will be glued to your head?

EDIT: Updated the description.

Testing - review will come soon

Also wouldn't it be easier to just have it auto win then make a -win command?

K played it and this is quite obviously a rip off of Fortress Survival with some elements of Fortress Survival Outbreak (I believe that's what it's called) I had not seen one thing in this map I hadn't seen in any other survival. Okay, then the question comes did you execute anything significantly better then the other maps. The answer is no, nothing stood out at all.

Suggestions:
I tested it alone, but all my allies units were still there even if they weren't playing - you can't expect to always have a full house, remove the other heroes if the player isn't there. This also leads to balancing - I was alone facing the horde meant to be taken on by 8 players - obviously I was seriously and utterly defeated quickly on the first wave. What if just 2 people want to play the map together?

Review:
Creativity: None to be found - 1/5
Gameplay: Okay I guess, it's not immensely fun but it's not terrible or unplayable, probably better with more people - 3/5
Terrain: Well you know how to use lighting, the terrains okay I guess, though it's far from amazing or good - 3/5
Coding: It was protected so I couldn't open it - testing in game it's okay I guess, sort of a whole meh thing like everything else, it's not the terrible "mah furst mapzorz" sort of affair - 3/5

Overall: 2.5/5

If you balanced it for the players I guess it's approvable, but seeing as it's an uncreative map that's been done better before there's not much of a reason for it to be approved.

Atm I'd vote rejection though



Also - atm there's only 4 places (well 8 if you can't the corners of the map) that are viable base areas - good survival games have tons of possible places to let the players choose which one they want to try.

Map meant to be played on multiplayer.

Some people might want to talk and chat before leaving the game...

There used to be no bases and the people had to defend themselves by building a base out of barricades. This was too hard unfortunately, so I just placed 4 bases around the map.

If you balanced it for the players I guess it's approvable

was thinking about doing that...

this is quite obviously a rip off of Fortress Survival

Not really... It's similar, I must say, but this is more about zombies, the setting is in a forest, and there are 8 special zombies, not counting the Large, Boss and Ulti Zombies. Plus, cash is earned from kills, not from building a lumber mill/gold mine or whatever... Also, you can build only one turret, and upgrade that turret until it's level 6 then you can upgrade it to the special turrets instead of having to build a special turret and upgrade that.

It was protected so I couldn't open it

I just protected it in a simple way. Happy that the protection works.

Is my description OK?

 

[mckill2009]

its OK, but i think you should work on single player mode

 

[kouryu]

quite simple but quite good concept

room for improvement:
the map is to dark and the torch didn't give vision

the tower: you should make the tower more powerfull but more costfull
so the player just have to build few but more powerfull tower, ex:
lv1:10-10dmg, 600rng, 10g cost to lv 2
lv2: 20-20dmg, 625rng, 20g cost to lv 3
lv3: 30-30dmg, 650rng, 30g cost to lv 4
lv4: 40-40dmg, 675rng, 40g cost to lv 5
lv5: 50-50dmg, 700rng, 50g cost to special tower
the way you make the tower is very bad, its like i didn't upgrade my tower at all even when i already upgrade it to special tower, the wall is quite ok i think

for research center, maybe you can do it as simple as this:
- tower damage upgrade: 10 gold cost, add 5-5dmg to tower
(player can upgrade this unlimited times)
- tower range upgrade: 10 gold to add 50 range to tower (maybe 2 or 3 times)
- wall upgrade: 10 gold to add 2def and 100hp (unlimited times)
- the same with the marine upgrade: unlimited upgrade for dmg, maybe 5dmg for each upgrade

improve the special tower and special wall, so player feel big diffrent for each tower and wall

for the item shop, the way you do it, the player won't even bother to buy anything at the shop, if they do they will have no time to use it, they will be too busy repairing walls and towers

for extra work: add inventory slot to the tower and add 1 extra building that sell item for the tower, maybe you can add item like: auto repair, dmg+, atkspd+, hp+ & def+

i hope this can help and sorry for the bad english >.<
