Thanks a lot for sharing, that will take some time to read :) One key difference is that our game will be more of a comedy-horror - like Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead and the like. But that didn't stop us from watching the TWD in detail - so I really appreciate the advice :) Forewarned is forearmed!

Thanks :) Edit 2 is more interesting!

This is such a zen answer!! Have you heard of the Chinese Farmer parable?) Haha, sorry, I live in China now - so it was the first thing that came to mind when I read your "both lucky and unlucky" :)

Well, there's always a chance if you try. We've met a few talented musicians and artists online that joined the project, and I was hoping writers would be interested too. But you're absolutely right about the zombie hype right now - I'm afraid the longer we wait with the launch, the more people would be tired of the whole thing! It just (surprisingly :D) took a LOT of time to put all things together.

Also, I'm not a native English speaker, so apologies in advance for the mistakes :)

Great! You've scared me for a moment, but that's your right to protect this place from trolls :)

And yeah, I'm a newbie - we've been working on other aspects of the campaign, and research on CYO just started. That's how I found you guys, you've got some pretty awesome zombie-themed stories in archives.

Let me just formulate things more specifically so that you don't find it too vague. I understand asking for "any ideas" sounded super lame. For example:

1. We now have 12 characters, how many different endings do you think would be fun for each?

2. Would it be exciting enough to have one successful ending for each character, or a few?

(Shooting with real actors will take time and resources, so we're trying to find some minimum requirements we could start with)

I can't imagine where this message might've been copypasted from. I actually meant it, guys. Sorry if it didn't fit the format - I wish I knew how to put it the right way. :)

It was my very first message on your forum and I felt like saying hi a bit more officially! Sorry if it bothered you. I'm not "those people" (I hope) :)

Hey everyone!

My name is Veronika, and I'm part of the team behind Zombie Office - a mobile game inspired by CYS books, and adding technology to the idea - eventually turning into a movie-like game with VR.

We are preparing to launch it on Kickstarter, and for the moment the tech part is ready, but we would love to get help with storylines. The setting is a big office in the middle of a zombie outbreak. Here's our trailer: https://youtu.be/BoVVfTkCVb4

?There are also more interviews on Instagram (@zombieoffice).

Sorry if that was too straightforward! Hope our project fits into what you guys do here. I was very excited to discover your website, and see that you keep the art of CYS alive!! :) Would appreciate any ideas on ZO.

All the best,

Nika
