So what has Nihilistic been up to since Conan? More than one thing, actually. Most of the team is hard at work on improving our engine & tools for a large-scale PS3/XB360 title that will be released in early 2010. Sorry its so far away, but the scale is pretty epic so we're taking our time to make sure its just right.
It's a big departure from Conan in a lot of ways. We can't say much yet, but I will say that its a much more exploration-based game than our past titles. The player will be encouraged to explore a whole world of possibilities and discover things at their own pace, so its a much less linear experience than Conan.
We're also doing a lot of R&D on new animation techniques and visual styles, so when you see the first screenshots and videos of the game in action, you'll see the fruits of that labor.
In the meantime, we've taken advantage of this R&D phase to let the team have a little fun in a genre they've always loved -- Zombie Horror! In the next few months, we will be releasing our first
downloadable game to the public. We're still keeping the title and exact mechanics under wraps, but the image below will give you a little taste of what we've cooked up.
Our goal was to capture all the classic moments from our favorite Zombie films, the serious ones and the more tongue-in-cheek ones, and roll it all into a fast-paced fun action/arcade game.
We've always wanted to try to apply our skills to a fun & simple
downloadable game, so we're anxious to see how our hack-n-slash Zombie fest appeals to the gamer public.
Expect to see the game available for download sometime this summer! Feel free to comment on what you'd like to see in a Zombie shooter.
