I made a Zombie Game using Google Earth

I used google earths new Tiles Api to make a Zombie Game.
You can play in any location on earth!

Yall gave me so many ideas! Theres still some stuff i gotta figure out but when the Api ready (could take some time for that to happen tho), ill try to expand and release the game. Thanks for all the positive comments, this is amazing!!!

idea: changing spawn ratee depending on the location. i.e. in a high population city a zombie count is through the roof, but somewhere in a field it's close to zero. there can be world population data that possibly can be used to map to the lon and lat you spawn in. this way a player can run off from a big city to have a breather. then we need to give the player some incentive to return to the city, hence loot. the player can pick up something that fills up some ever-emptying bar, like satiety

Well done. In 2005, while working on a project with one of the founders of Rockstar games, I conceived Google Racing. It is essentially what you've created here, but as a racing game instead of a zombie shooter. I imagined gamers wanting to race in their very neighborhoods and could do so virtually instead of physically. My suggestions for this are: In this current iteration, the zombies lack personality in that they always know where you are as a player and come straight for you. the player should be able to hide, and use stealth, and only attack when there is no choice. Point A to B challenges would be interesting when you could use obstacles in your favor to sneak around and hide under/above. limited ammo, physical hand-to-hand weapons for when bullets are scarce... the usual stuff that makes a game like this fun. Perhaps a 'rid the world' mode, where the number of 'living zombies' is somehow known and the player's mission, or network of players, is to clear city after city, until the threat is finally eliminated. Of course every player that dies adds to the count....

This is amazing. Like 5 years ago I dreamed of having a world-scale zomby apocalypse game with VR support. The only people left alive would be the actual people playing the game itself. So it would be hard to find others, but that would be the fun of it. Maybe something like that will be possible with the use of AI in the future.

I thought this was some multi-million subscriber YouTuber video I was watching! That was very impressive man, good luck for your YouTube future, it looks promising!

[czowieknuz]

I think there used to be 2d game like this back in a days? a flash one? Anyone remembers? It allowed you to make some kind of zombie-pndemic simulation with police and stuff like this, really simple but cool to watch

[unknownuser]

I am a game developer myself (from Munich, actually i was in Zürich two days ago) and just discovered your channel. I love how you creativley made use of this new unreal engine feature; was fun to watch! I am leaving a subscribtion and lloking forward to your next ideas. Futhermore, i think the ability to jump could be a fun way to deal with the different levels of elevation

[saucevc]

Idea: To increase immersion, you could make it so rather than controlling zombie numbers with a difficulty setting, the number of zombies depends on the population density of the city you choose. It would make plenty of sense for there to be huge swarms in NYC, while it makes 0 sense for there to be so many zombies on Mt. Everest since barely anyone would be there in the first place.

[seapop]

This idea has so much potential to make it super immersive like making the player a tiny bit smaller, randomly increasing/decreasing zombie spawn rates, making them spawn in clumps like hordes, or even multiplayer though I can imagine how hard that would be to work with google maps

[jacksoncurrie]

This is incredible already and has so much potential i really hope you are able to expand and release this. i feel like a cool feature would be new guns or items like health or food you need to loot famous landmarks to get supplies or maybe even set up safe house. this is sweet man keep it up

[PrinceOfSlytherin]

I'd love to see a first person part and more Interactions with the envoirement, really using the 3D space.

Also more weapon options like granades. And more transportation. But the idea is really good. Keep it up

[ComputerDoggie]

I can't wait to fight zombies at my house! The best locations to go to would likely be locations that are a lot of the times present in apocalypse movies, like NYC.

[Tayrwhit]

2023, the moment were players make better games then the game companies.
If you can add a first person thing like street view in Earth but on you instead. Also more variety on models of everything like zombies and players. When you make contact below sea level and the ground is blue(water), have a reduction on speed for everyone except zombies who just die(they can’t swim).

Could be cool game especially for mobile. Keep it up 👍🏻

[ARViuff]

There was a game like this, I believe it still sort of works
Class 3 outbreak
it uses the google map for the game area and then you can designate walls, inside areas etc.
it was limited in part by the old google world view because the further you went north or south the more angled the image became making the design of maps in say greenland a little hard.

[hottubtoohot]

A menu with your fav Coordinates with a challenge would be really cool. Like cross the entire golden gate bridge on hard mode. Would be cool to see an objective instead of just infinity.

[Feraligatrfjhgujvgh]

It definitely needs a main objective.
I'd say give it a Kill Count, but time survived could work as well. You could also just make a classic points system, survive for a minute get a certain amount of points, kill zombie get a small amount etc.

[thesam]

i think u should shrink the player to normal human size bc looking at whats meant to be a yourself in an apocolyptic version of your own world is cool until u realise ur almost as tall as ur own house

[Anon]

I had this exact same idea, but instead of zombies it was an adaptation of War of the Worlds Global Dispatches. Martian Tripods and Gooseneck fighter-bombers destroying your own home town!

[deadplthebadass]

I love this concept but imagine if you use real data to see what areas are more likely to have zombies and what areas are least likely to have zombies and add it to the world to make it more realistic, plus have have supplies in areas that are most likely to have supplies to see if you could survive a real zombie apocalypse

Edit: Only 440 subscribers definitely expected more... if more videos are like this, I'm subscribing

[juzef]

it would be cool that the rate in wich zombies spawn would be proportional in base of the population density of that area
