Alternative to zombies?

So what you think that can be an alternative to zombies?
I have think in pos-apoc mutants, aliens, but i don’t liked it… so I found Demons, demons are cools, are evil, and people have fear playing with them… so what you think about demons? and other alternatives to a creature that we can kill and don’t feel sorry.

And sorry for bad englihs… just a thread to discuss random things.

Well, I would say it depends on the game setting

Demons are a good choice

You also have other undead creatures such as Skeletons

Werewolves might also be an option

What about cyborg? From the future. :smile:

Zombies are not popular because of the zombies. They’re popular because it centers around the theme of removing the social contract. It’s about watching how people react to the circumstance and asking yourself what you would do and what others would do to you. It asks you if you could keep your self in the face of hopelessness. In 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, and many more the real enemies are the people. It was a person who shot Jim at the end of Night of the Living Dead because he was black during the American Civil Rights movement, not a zombie eating him. It shows that humans reduced to their primal evils are no match for our concious evils.

You want to match that, start with what it turns us into.

This. Walking Dead isn’t the #1 show on television because it has zombies. It focuses on the characters and the story. The zombies are something extra. That’s what makes it awesome.

Africans? It worked for Resident Evil 5.

Robots. Still uncaring and mass produced (like zombies), but there’s a ton of other stuff you can do with them. Robots make a great fodder.

Slendermen.

lol, it would be a hit!

That’s true!

Is this Slenderman thing copyright free? Seems to be a fair few games out there.

Well, slender was just a mytho, so it’s open for use. I think he was joking though.

Zombies, Aliens, Demons… boring. We’ve had that a million times. Use something different. Something fresh. Use Blobs. Blobs taking over the world: green blobs, red blobs, small blobs, big blobs, slow blobs, fast blobs… think of all the variety and the ease of implementation :slight_smile:

Eventually a blob can be as dangerous as a zombie.

“Day of the Blob”… open world MMO survival game

Here:

1)Self replicating nanobots are devouring the planet into a grey goo and people cluster to the last remaining hunks of inhabitable land causes over population and the impending doom makes people hopeless.

2)solar Electromagnetic fields wipes out electricity on all of earth. Mad Max ensues.

3)Yellowstone explodes and starts the 4th ice age. Icy mad Max ensues.

4)desease wipes out most people. M.M.E.

5)A world wide dust bowl devestates the world’s food supplies. Neo Facism and M.M.E.

6)A small group finds themselves in an isolated area with no clear threat (see cube). M.M.E.

7)People get their memories wiped world wide (see a wind called amnesia). MME

8)A colony on the moon or mars watches the earth die. MME

Really. Come on, this isn’t that hard. Writing it is.


I’m seriously surprised no one has done this yet…

Cyber-Demons!!!

Pro-tip: To kill the Cyber-Demon, shoot it until it dies…

Oh yeah I know he was joking, but I wondered about the whole slender copyright thing.

How about you play the part of a demon zombie and you have to eat people?

Been done with Stubbs the Zombie…though he’s not a demon zombie.
