Great concept. Needs some improvement, such as the ability to remove things you have built but decide you want to put them somewhere else, also, I don't know if its your game or if it's my computer, but I am experiencing some insane lag, it freezes for several seconds, every several seconds, and it makes this game not even worth playing. This is the only game I have had lag problems with on Newgrounds. Other than that, SURVIVAL HORROR RTS! very exciting! there is SO much potential for this idea keep up the good work, fix the bugs, you have one hell of a game started :D

Update: Harvester and Hunter bug fixed: They will no longer not be able to drop off their inventories into a chest.
Buttons no longer look locked.
Survive as long as you can in this genre mashup between Survival Horror and Real Time Strategy. Build your shelter, save your survivors, kill some zombies.

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah. The lag is definitely on our end, not your PC. This was one of our very first projects on a new engine, so it's pretty limited in features. We had a lot more planned but we were pressed for time, so we cut the features short and released what we had for a game jam. Now that we're MUCH more knowledgeable, we plan on going back and remaking this some day. Right now we're working on another big project that will hopefully blow this concept out of the water.
epic
i really like the concept but this game needs much improvment on the interface, its insanly difficult at times, things to improve would be, make units able to drag a box and select multiple or all units, much todifficult to perform some actions when having to move each individually *such as during a zombiwe attack and trying to ahve an unarmed builder flee while an armed character engages. also make the AI able to recognize and be able to move around walls and access doors, way to hard to try to get a harvester inside ur structure to return to chest and yet keep an eye on other units in the field, these 2 things alone would make the game immensly more enjoyable, other than this is solid game, my rate would be 4 stars but because these features i mentioned above are not implemented and are SO curcial i have to be pretty strict on the amount of credit you get, nearly every rts made involving a unit useage structure such as this uses the "drag box select" and allows units to recognize obstacles and move around them. i would love to see a 2nd game of this made with these features and a few fine tweaks, and one last thing i noticed was that a gun cabinet costs 24 ammo to make, but i had already had to deal with some zombies before i go that far in building so i was essentially on a path of having no ammo and having no way to make more, this is also a huge flaw
This game is much to easy. There needs to be some sort of difficulty setting. The zombies didn't even seem all that interested in me There isn't a lot to do in this game. Games like this already exist, and this is gust a generic version of those. Overall it was pretty boring, and unoriginal.
No stars. It has no instructions and I couldnt figure out what to do. Make an instructions page or something please.
