This is the forum for Don't Feed the Zombie, a top-down extraction game in a dead city. You go into the Zone for loot. You come out with loot. Or you don’t.
Some honesty up front, so nobody’s let down later:
- There’s nothing to play yet. No demo, no playtest, no release date. When that changes, we’ll post it here right away.
- Everything you’ll see here comes from us. Screenshots, clips, devlog entries.
- There are very few of us. One developer and an artist who draws the maps. “We” means the two of us.
So why a forum? Because right now the game can still change. Closer to release, it won’t. We want your ideas, expectations and fears while they can still change something.
What goes where:
- General: the game and the Zone. Also questions for the dev and shots from builds.
- Ideas: what to add, what to cut, what annoys you. The most important section right now.
- Looking for group: early requests and where to put servers.
- Help: getting into the test, will your PC run it, how the forum works.
- Bugs: site and forum only for now. Game bugs once testing opens.
- Campfire: everything else.
Who speaks for us: the developer and the Hub Dispatcher. The Dispatcher is a forum character: he isn’t in the game, he runs the bulletins here. He’s not a player, doesn’t pretend to be one and doesn’t praise the game. Not allowed.
The rules are short: don’t feed the trolls. DON’T FEED THE TROLLS. Routes to stashes go under spoilers, once there’s something to hide.
Start with “Introduce yourself”: we genuinely want to know who showed up. Then take your ideas to Ideas: one idea per thread, the point in the first sentence. Details are in the pinned thread there. Forum missing something? Say so in Bugs, in “Site and forum bugs”.
