I'm making a modification for a game called Sauerbraten, a really nice free FPS, called Zombie Mod. It's going to be an FPS/RPG like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Lemdan is still in the design process, and will still be getting worked on, so that isn't canceled.

Right now, I'm setting the Sauerbraten engine up so it works for the Zombie Mod. Which is going to be more like a total conversion than just a mod. I have some basic designs for it, it doesn't need much designing with an engine already in place.

The story is pretty basic. In the not to distant future, the city you are living experiences a zombie outbreak. There were very few survivors because lots of people ran to malls, or other places that could accomadate large amounts of people and trapped themselves. Only a few survivors are left, the smart and paranoid people, and they are rebuilding the city from the ground up.

The weapons are all basic, run of the mill stuff.
Hands: Only use this if you are out of ammo.
Hammer: Same idea as the hands, only a bit stronger.
Pistol: Pretty basic, not good for lots of enemies.
Double Barrel Shotgun: Advances in technology allowed the creation of a semi-automatic double barrel shotgun. It is very effective at close range targets.
Machine gun: The machine gun is very effective at crowd control.
Rifle: The rifle is best used as a long range weapon, it shoots rather slow for close range targets.
Grenade Launcher: The grenade launcher can effectively be used for crowd control or room clearing.
Bombs: Useful for setting traps.

I still need to make more enemies, as it is there is only a few of them.
Rat: The rats are very weak pests.
Wolf: The wolves aren't that strong, but they travel in packs.
Zombie Pig: The zombie pig is a weird looking creature, it has no eyes and only two legs. But it has a big mouth.
Bear: Bears are strong, and aren't slow. Be careful of them if you have only weak weapons.
