Using OpenStreetMap to play the game in any location
Using OpenStreetMap to play the game in any location
Choose any real region from the world. Choose your base of operations, then rebuild and readapt the buildings around you to create a self-sustaining settlement. Take charge of a group of survivors from your city. And when the night falls - Defend the zone from the infected!
Pretty cool idea by using open street maps you can download the location you want and play the game there, defend your neighborhood or loot your house.
The reviews seem decent but mention it needs a lot of tweaking as it just released on early access, like water not affecting where zombies can walk or elevation not being a thing.
Maybe this can get some more people interested in mapping

As a kid I always wished I could play video games in my home town. Imagine games like GTA in your neighborhood. Of course we are far away from that, but it is a great idea to dynamically generate environments based on available geo data. I can also imagine this can motivate people in mapping. Gamification is a strong vehicle, look at apps like StreetComplete that have gotten really popular in a short time and play around with badges and levels etc. thanks for sharing!
Whoa I didn't know about street complete. I've been doing Google streetview for a while until they killed the way I was able to contribute, this looks interesting
I had the same idea as a kid, I think around the time "true crime: streets of LA" came out. I wanted GTA: Your City, where it like connects to Google earth type of shit and recreates any city you want. That'd be so fun.
Always had the same idea but with City builders. I hope someday it becomes a thing.
You wanted to shoot up your town? That doesn't seem healthly
@possiblylinux127 @gigachad I don't but I would like to defend it from fictional zombies.
