Project Zomboid’s map making tools let you bring the living dead to your town
Comment
Caversham library. That’s my zombie holdout spot. It has no ground floor windows, it’s across the road from a large supermarket, and there are only two entrances. Plus, their comics section is ace. Could while away the weeks following the outbreak reading The Walking Dead and Scott Pilgrim.
Many of you will have your own zombie survival plan. Don’t worry if you don’t, folk like you are the first to be run down and, frankly, we need your can openers.
Project Zomboid is tapping into that inherent survivalist in all of us and, with its new map tools, lets you design your own towns within which to last out the zombies.
