Hi everyone!

Zombie University is a horror/survival game for PC and Mac.

Purpose:
This was a project for me to learn 3D game development with Unity, so its just a small demo. Inspired by Outlast and Alien: Isolation, I wanted to create something similar. I’ve been working on it by myself for the last 2 months. Please check it out and let me know what you guys think. As I’m still learning any feedback or advice will be greatly appreciated!

Here’s the game footage:

You can download the game for free here:

You can checkout the game scripts here:

Development Details:
Finding the right assets was pretty challenging and a time consuming process, so I ended up creating my own walls and audio dialogue, but most of the assets were from the Asset Store, Turbosquid, Mixamo, and freesound.org. I’m not an artist (more of a programmer), so it took sometime for me to get the lighting and proportion of the walls/props/characters right. Aside from scripting simple game mechanics like opening/closing doors and UI functions most of the scripting went into the AI, player, and game controller. I was going down a rabbit hole with the AI until I discovered Unity’s stealth game… very helpful and saved me a lot of time!

This actually looks pretty good! You should build a full game out of it. I think having the monster kill you straight if caught like isolation would be more threatening.

Wow thanks! I’m glad you liked it. I’m pretty stoked by the number of views this thread is getting. It got me thinking seriously about completing the story line and increasing the game play. Yeah I agree with you… I really want to instill fear in the players :smile:. I actually had it that way at first, but my friends kept dying and it wasn’t fun for them lol. Perhaps I can add a noise maker like the one in Alien Isolation to give the player some utility in dealing with the zombie. Thanks again for the feedback! Its great to get input from people that are in the industry cause I’m just working on this by myself in the basement.

I loved your project, it turned out very well, I am neither an artist nor a musician, I only know how to program in languages, and it shows that you put work on the game.
