So I'm gonna write a zombie survival horror game ( yes I know 90% of the horror games are about zombies but I really love them :0 ). It will take place in NY and the main character, James, will be stuck in the city because of the Z apocalypse on his way to his job. So it will involve survivalism, however I'll try to make characters, dialogs, background as complete as I can. 

I have done some background about James already ( if you want to know it ask me :D ) and I'm currently creating the plot, but I wanted to know if the idea was not a lot too classical.

I'd like to precise that I'm not english too, so I apologize if I make some grammatical errors or mispelling. I'll do my best to get rid of it in my story :)

Well, like you said there already are tons of zombie survival games. However, if you manage to give your own twist to it, do something original of surprising, it will not matter if your idea is classic or not. ;)

I'll try my best ;). I just hope I will not accidentally copy some ideas of another storygame there is just so many of them ^^'.

Oh and I haven't have a title yet BTW

Anyway TY for the fast reply :P

If it helps, you may wanna make the zombies realistically harder to kill than the average story.  Maybe they can run, jump, and other stuff?

Sounds like a good idea :). Maybe smarter zombies too, I'm still not quite sure lol.

 I wrote a zombie game myself and probably the most fun part is writing about characters that are interesting to you. If you create characters that you care about you will like writing the story more so it will come out better

This my favorite part too. In fact I am writing the characters' background before the story :).

Also I've seen a bit your story in the forum, it seems interesting ;).

thanks. I like that idea create the characters first then see how they would do in different situations seems like a fun way to right a story. Make sure to post it here when you finish it

Ok I'll post the link ;). It's gonna take me some time  especially because I'm somewhat slow to write x).

I have some exams too next week so I don't hope to have it finished before holidays in 2 weeks.
