There was a post about this over at our old stomping grounds but since then the game has made HUGE progress and actually looks extremely entertaining. If you are so excited you don't want to continue reading and just want the goods head on over here http://www.projectzomboid.com

Feature set from their site.

  • Project Zomboid is a Zombie Survival RPG. Here are some of its planned features:
    • Retro-isometric style with plenty of zombie insides thrown in for good measure.
    • A massive city and the surrounding areas to traverse, explore and loot.
    • Open-ended sandbox world – survival is your only goal, and we’re sorry to tell you… you WILL die eventually.
    • Get infected. How will you spend your final days? Will you have a heroic moment of self-sacrifice, or end up chewing your best friend’s throat out?
    • Meet other survivors who you can join forces with, trade with, undertake missions for, or fight with for resources.
    • Loot, salvage, and build what you need to survive the apocalypse, from food and medical supplies, to weapons, even just booze to help get you through the nights.
    • Advanced item crafting allows you to use looted items to build weapons, traps, defenses, and many other things to help you survive.
    • Character progression. Learn skills and perks to help your character face the challenges of survival.
    • Starvation, illness, loneliness, depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide, insanity, trust issues. There’s more to zombie survival than shooting zombie heads off.
    • Join your friends and survive the apocalypse together in co-op multiplayer.
    • The world changes the longer you survive; power plants fail, plunging the city into darkness and making batteries and tinned food prized commodities. The army rolls into the streets to perform ‘clean up operations’ and other gamechanging events occur the longer you survive.
  • It will be released Minecraft style, where there will be continual updates adding new features, weapons, game-play and locations.
  • It is available here and an early tech-demo can be downloaded here.
  • The tech demo shows just a fraction of the planned features and is merely a taste of what is to come. We will continue developing after this point, feasibly for years and years, improving and expanding the game.
  • We have an active community that helps drive development, which can be found here.
On top of the official stable build found here and on Desura, we release Public Test Builds of upcoming updates that anyone who has purchased can download and play, with the caveat that they will be potentially buggy. These can be found in the PZ ‘Downloads’ section of our forum and on Desura.

Robbaz plays it (funny):

I do not think just looking at this game gives it enough justice. You have to jump in and play it. It is truly unique in regards to being able to build fortresses, board up doors, hunt for items, meet strangers, etc... The old school style of the graphics make this game work because the developers are able to do so much more, and put in much more detail. It is an immersive experience.

Head on over to www.projectzomboid.com and check it out, try the demo. Post your thoughts.
 
Wow, that screams for multiplayer servers, although it prolly would be a bit unfair since you could log out to live.

Somehow that defense won't hold up in real life...
 
In the demo does it just end with the house burning down or can you actually get past that?
