Вы можете снести существующие здания, создать свой собственный форт, ремонтировать и использовать транспортные средства, построить свое собственное оружие и инструменты для того, чтобы дать себе еще немножко больше шансов остаться в живых в очень враждебном городе.

Rather Be Dead is a perspective top-down open world game set in an urban environment where the primary element of danger is Zombies.

"My vision is to create a game which is not another action-driven zombie shooter. I want players to explore, cooperate, build, and struggle to survive. I want players to fear zombies not just mow them down (even though the above video shows that, as it's an early build). To that end, mechanics like sound propagation and light/heat will play their parts in attracting or repelling potential enemies, living and dead. Managing supplies of food and equipment will be very important, as will managing any NPCs that you may encounter in your travels which may be Hostile, Friendly or neutral and could change from one to the other at a moments notice based on your actions.

A big part of that vision is letting players experience that with friends and strangers online. I've already built a significant portion of the networking layer and have basic multiplayer games working with a standalone server, but it's not ready for public consumption yet.

- All multiplayer cities will be persistant, which means you can log in and continue exactly where you left off.
- Very large playing area, at the moment a 'large' map is about 100km by 100km filled with large road networks, separate towns and plenty of large empty countryside. Example road network generated from game code, not by hand: Ratherbe.de
- Form a clan with your friends and work together to build your base.
- Survive encounters with other player & NPC clans.
- Rescue NPC's and recruit them to get access to better facilities for your base (engineer, doctor, police officer, teacher etc)
- Drive around with your friends! Large range of vehicles including bicycles, motorbikes, cars, busses and low-end aircraft like light helicopters and single-prop planes. Use them for scouting, supply runs or just getting between A and B.
- Fully destroy and build in the world you live in. All buildings, props and items are able to be destroyed for materials and your own creations are able to be built up in their place. Players will be able to blow holes in houses if they so desire. Multi-floor buildings have been considered, but adding them would depend on how easy/hard it becomes to traverse staircases.
- Set traps and alarms using proximity sensors, trip wires, light sensors. Trigger explosives, radio broadcast, spotlights, alarm bells, and more. Interaction with the environment is a very high priority.

Current State of Rather Be Dead

Rather Be Dead is in a pre-alpha state which is very early on in development; the majority of the content and mechanics are not yet in the game, so it looks a bit ugly and contains plenty of bugs and missing features. The artwork is especially placeholder right now as I focus more on mechanics and gameplay before I lock down the art style and assets, which will occur some time in the future."
