Anarchy / Announcing: Game Of Nerds! - the game where NERD knowledge is a plus
« on: July 16, 2011, 12:17:53 PM »
Hey guys,
Over the last 12 months, I’ve worked on a game that I thought might have the interest of people around here, mainly because knowledge of areas like computer games, the internet, science, science fiction and action movies is a major plus. The game, titled GAME OF ZOMBO (www.zombo.com), is basically a quiz game – but not one of those simple ‘answer 10 questions and get your score’ internet games. GAME OF ZOMBO is designed as an intense, immersive real-time quiz experience where you compete against your friends and the world.
Screenshots say a lot more than words, so here are a couple for your viewing pleasure:
Each round you get to pick from 3 of the game’s 15 categories.
Pick the right answer as quickly as possible and defeat your friends.
While playing, your team of friends will help you out if you’re stuck.
Answering correctly adds points and builds streaks that award extra time.
The main menu.
Before playing, build a custom team of friends that complements your own weaknesses.
GAME OF NERDS is intended as a celebration of geekdom and a way to finally use all that special knowledge that you’ve built up throughout your life as a nerd, but which mainstream quiz games don’t care about. There are lots of other features, too - for example, you can create your own questions which other players will be confronted with and earn prizes doing so. Also, as you play GAME OF ZOMBO, the game will profile you and tell you what kind of nerd you are.
I’m pretty happy about how the project has turned out, and now I just need a bunch of people to come over and play the game that I’ve spent the last year developing. Hope some of you guys will find it interesting:
