Food 4 Dead
I wonder if our fascination with Zombies has anything to do with a buried instinct to get back into the food chain. It’s been awhile since we’ve been the prey and we probably aren’t even true predators anymore.
Food for thought?
Watched Zombieland last night, plus thrilled that Valve has added another campaign (Crash Course) to Left 4 Dead.
Left 4 Dead Tower Defense?
Just like Zubon, I’m a little Tower Defense crazy.
Left 4 Dead strikes me as ripe for a Tower Defense mod. It already revolves around defending as gameplay, plus it has waves and waves of not-so-mindless zombies ready to go. The AI director could probably be tweaked for it nicely. If I had the coding skills (or at least more familiar with the SDK), I’d start a mod project, but I don’t so here it is as a suggestion.
It doesn’t have to be Towers, just auto-targetting / auto-killing devices of some sort. I’m imagining all sorts of devilish traps that could be placed in some of the narrow corridors and hallways typical for Left 4 Dead maps. Maybe movable barriers too, so the pathing of the zombies could be altered. Then the glorious gibbing of zombies would abound!
This could end up a little more like Dungeon Keeper than Tower Defense, but that’s great, since I’d count Dungeon Keeper as the epitome of build-and-turtle defense games.
