Quick Look: Survivor Squad

Every day is next gen on the PC.

Well, my plan to find Vinny ASAP in the zombie apocalypse might need some revision.

Reminds me a little of Doorkickers and Frozen Synapse.

is that zombie attack music the theme from con air?

Drew! :(

Game looks okay from a gameplay perspective, but looks like a shitty flash game because of the art style.

I think it's adorable that Vinny named his squad after GB team members.

I'm not fully in development just yet, but as a student in this field I feel I can throw in my 2 cents on this. Mjbrune and Noizy are exactly right. Puzzle games, platformers, top-down or side-scrolling arcade-style shooters, and RPGs where it's like, just dialog trees with some flash animation in between, are THE things our groups are making for projects. 2D is way easier to work with than 3D (though Unity is making that a much simpler task than ever before), and stuff where AI doesn't have to be anything other than line-of-sight and straight-line pathing is a godsend on short-term, literally zero-budget projects (especially when you're just learning this stuff - granted, doesn't apply to most devs, but still). Zombies are a great enemy type for that, so they get used a LOT even though the majority of people in our classes are more than zombied-out.
