Resident Evil sold 2.75 million copies within the United States alone, and its success resulted in it becoming a major horror franchise encompassing video games, novelizations, and films. This release, coupled with the 1996 light gun shooter The House of the Dead, gave rise to "an international craze" for zombies, in turn impacting zombie films. Zombie games became more prevalent after the release of the survival horror game Resident Evil in 1996. The ZX Spectrum computer game Zombie Zombie, released in Europe in 1984, is considered to be the first video game focused on zombies. Zombies are common or generic enemies in video games. Particular zombie rationale and depictions vary with the source. Other variants, such as the faster running zombies, are also included. These games feature creatures inspired by the archetypal flesh-eating zombies seen in horror films, B-movies and literature such as in the films of George A. We incorporated these gameplay principles as the primary goals for SZ3, and they defined much of my work for the project.This is an incomplete list of video games strongly featuring zombies. It took just as long to lose a level as it did to win one. Win or lose, levels generally took 2 minutes to play through. This included “blocking” levels that were heavily stacked against you and took many tries to complete. Most levels could be beaten on the first try, but levels of varying difficulty were interspersed throughout.
Winning often depended more on the pieces you were given, rather than how well you played.
For inspiration, the team played more Candy Crush than any of us would care to admit, and we developed several key observations: Our main goal with Stupid Zombies 3 (SZ3) was to increase player IAP, while retaining the same style of gameplay that had skyrocketed the franchise to success.Īt the time, Candy Crush was monetizing exceptionally well and featured gameplay and design that were roughly analogous to previous Stupid Zombies titles, in a broad sense both were casual, level-based and featured light puzzle gameplay. Previous Stupid Zombies titles had performed extremely well in the charts and with user retention, though less successfully with IAP conversion. Stupid Zombies is GameResort’s most popular franchise, and after working for a year on Adventure Beaks, it was time to capitalize on its success, once again.
