make sure you get all resources from the inside an build many snipers around the church to defend it. one shot unleases the zombies and its hundreds taht will come!

A points/upgrade system for completing levels and maps would be tremendous. The ability to upgrade certain buildings (Sniper Tower Range/Accuracy, Survivor speed or carrying amount, ect.) would add tremendous replay value to a game that already has a great replay value. Great game and vote this up if you agree.

Thanks for your comments! San Zombisco v2 now available, fixed blocked house and added more difficulty:

On a more constructive note, having buttons to gather specific resources would be nice. That way, I can put my survivors near the resource gathering areas and keep the ammo near my towers.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The gather resources is buggy or ruins the game sometimes. when you gather resources, people gather too and sometimes a gun outpost far away is understaff becasue the extra people gather at the gather resource point

abandoning a structure gets all the resources back. Treat this like an actual war. in war, you try to shorten supply lines. So as you hop forward, destroy old buildings, so the resources arent all over the place.

Maybe add a machine gunner nest or some other way of killing them faster in stead of just overloading on sniper posts, some other way of attracting zombies, and a SWAT team to clear houses?

I've been playing for a while and I have to admit that it does get slow at some points. I really wish the AI was better. They act just retarded when near zombies (though I guess that makes it more realistic). I also wish that there was a way to actually assault the zombies instead of having to get them to come to you.

Heres a tip: if you dont need an sniper tower or depot, Flee it and extract the rumble with an workshop that way you will get some resources back :)

Cool game. I'd like to see a few more options on the map builder. Like being able to change the type of rubble there is, and being able to control building shapes and entrances more.

this game has potential for online, such as rating system or a giant city where 1-4 people have to help clear, but as for its current rating it give i at 10/5, my comments could just give it a bit more.

Ryan, have you even tried Quartermaster Difficulty? 1) Not going to happen. These are civilians, not soldiers, and don't want to be near zombies. 2) Honestly, the game is hard enough as is without worrying about proprietary ammo types. 3) Get real, seriously. Zombies like that would mince you. 4) Hero's? Nobody wants a hero, they just want to survive. 5) NO. FoW won't let you plan ahead, and if you don't plan ahead, your dead. You already don't know how many zombies are in a building, just relative amounts. 6) And where do you find weapons like that in rural towns? This isn't Rainbow 6!

Also guns have different range like the assault and MG are the same but the Assault has more range but sniper fires slower but has father range but when they patrol on foot they have less range the the towers do!!

After the third bridge, do another corner sweep, then set up some remote snipers, so you have half the map secure. Drill right up to the last bridge and take it out.
I beat quartermaster in about an hour. http://img137.imageshack.us/i/shatteredcolony.png/

What I would like to see is 1.people not in a tower but u place a tower and there is a range were survivors patrol the area so that they can walk and kill the zombies 2.Multiple guns you need to scavenge would make the game harder to get towers and stuff 3.different types of zombies like fast zombies and ones that shoot infecting/decaying goo 4. and maybe add like a hero that u can control when u press a hotkey 5. fog/visions what i mean is you cant see the whole map it would be better so u dont know where zombies are 6. but i think the patrol thing could be cheap so put in pistols and MGs only so like get 5 people with 3 pistols and 2 MGs but they would walk around randomly when they run out of ammo the go back to where they started at and refill ammo :O but keep towers :P

With quartermaster levels, you often need to make do with low accuracy snipers. What you should not do however is have 1 man for 1 sniper. Staff your snipers with at least 5 people to have a decent chance at hitting. Find a good spot on the map and make a bulwark, if possible. Take out one bridge ASAP. I just clear the way, then make a line of 0 resource depots leading to the blast area, then demo it all and return to the bulwark. After taking the second bridge, you need to expand your defenses. Take some time and sweep your corner of the map, so your not attacked from behind. Do NOT try to salvage everything. If you see a Church on the map, salvage it ASAP. It will make life much easier once you do.

It would be nice if the 9 people in the depot next to the sniper tower brought it the ammo it needs, this is a serious glitch that needs to be fixed. Either there are really no people in the depot or a bug causes them to stay in the building. Here's the situation:
Depot Queue: 30 ammo, 50 wood, 1 survivor
Actual Materials: 171 ammo 124 wood 9 survivors
Sniper Queue: 20 ammo, 1 Survivor
Actual Materials: 0 ammo, 0 Survivors
Why are the people in the depot just sitting in there? is there some kind of hidden bar function in the depots where every now and then the survivors get drunk and incapable of bringing ammo 2 squares away?
Also the survivors dont always take the shortest route, i am often forced to flee depots in order to force survivors to take the shortest route. this game would be perfect if these minor bugs were fixed, plus if you agree and think these bugs should be adjusted

For those of you having troubles with Quartermaster level here are few tips.
0. One high accuracy sniper is better than two low accuracy snipers.
1. Build a stronghold (4 Snipers at the beginning 6 later on) in the middle of the map.
2. Expand toward a bridge. After taking down the bridge withdraw from that area completely. Do not leave resourcs, snipers behind. There will be no battle in that area and any resource you leave behind will stay idle.
3. Do not try to scavange every resource. It takes too much time and as time passes the number of zomibes for wave increases. You will never run out of resources until almost the end of the game. Take what you can and evacuate quickly. The larger your base size is, more vulnerable you are.
4. After taking down the second bridge, use barricades accordingly wave numbers will be large and open snipers won't be able to handle the wave. Strong one layer of barricade is much better than weak multiple layers of barricades.

Needs a deconstruct button, where the survivors will take all the resources out of a depot/tower before abandoning it, leaving no debris. As for all of you suggesting commandos, There are civilians for the most part. Who could provide them with training beyond using a hunting rifle?

Version 1.5 of the game released. Better resource control (Gather resources button), more hotkeys, shift-click to add or remove 5, and browsing online maps. Let me know if I've introduced any new bugs.

Large and hard map. Every direction has its bonuses and boons.

wtf, i was just playing a random level and had over 30 survivors left and i lost even though i had plenty of supplies and buildings left
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Great concept but it could use some polish; especially, your minions are STUPID and just mill around when their buildings collapse, or will go somewhere dumb when you need a turret built. Second, having a unit with a gun that walks but with a shorter range would be great. Finally, it'd be nice to upgrade turrets to different weapons too; short range shotguns and AOE Molotovs.

Suggestion: Don't add 1 survivor to the available ones until they've fully cleared the workshop (or you set the quota to zero). At the moment, they become "available" once they start bringing back their first set of supplies, which doesn't make them available at all.

well overall i love it. just one thing. if brdges are in the middle of a non-zombie zone and in the middleish area of an island how come the zombies spawn?... plz try and find a way so that doesnt happen. Not all briges need to go some far away place
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
it needs a button to "flee with resources" like the survivors to flee to another depot but with the max capacity of resources that the survivors can bring with. press "+" if u thiink this is a good good ideia
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Perhaps, in a sequel, there could be some improvements. Not something like zombies re-spawning, or another unrealistic concept similar to that, but something. Perhaps the graphics could be tweaked, and the corpses of zombies could stay on the ground after being killed? I don't know... something simple like that.

QUESTION! why all the survivors were black when i rescued them from the church? its weird but im glad this game is anti-racist :D
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
You know what this game needs? A flee command. I don't mean the button we have now, where you click it and the workers just stand and wait to be eaten, BUT SOMETHING WHERE THEY FLEE TO THE NEAREST SHELTER.

If you were to make another version. Take away the snipe tower. Replace with an armory or something. So you can train some sort of defending squad and an assault squad for clearing buildings. So you could position defending squads behind barricades and be able to move them around the place. However they would probably have to have a max ammo cap. Perhaps they will have to go backwards and forwards between an depot for ammo. That would be good. Definitely need more map pieces too for your next time you re-make this? Just an idea. Mainland maps?? More mission maps? Will be possible to expand on this. Better Ai if possible, just to fix ammo ferrying and stuff... well if that does happen. Perhaps a box in map editor to say for this area to spawn Zombies, of course... figure how to make that work out. ^^

u know wat would be cool? instead of snipers sitting in 1 spot, u could train survivors 2 scout and kill zombies, and command them. that would be epic!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
one thing i don't like about the game is how they start to repair the barricades when u don't tell them to and the zombies are trying to invade
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Sometimes I get killed by the fact that none of my workers seem to care about their own lives and don't ferry ammo to the snipers. WTF.
