Infection Free Zone : phase alpha et vidéo de gameplay

Au registre des futurs jeux allant simuler une apocalypse de “zombies”, les amateurs du genre seront probablement curieux de découvrir ce jeu hybride qui devrait proposer une approche très originale pour représenter la situation.

En effet, en s’appuyant sur des cartes bien réelles, grâce à OpenStreetMap, le jeu pourra modéliser en détail des villes. Cela dans une jolie 3D minimaliste. A partir de cette modélisation, vous gérerez votre groupe de survivants et commencerez à reconstruire un bon nombre de choses. Reconstruire, car le jeu se veut une sorte de city-rebuilder, où donc il n’y aura pas besoin de construire une ville à partir de quasi rien, mais où il s’agira de “réparer” tout ce qui a été à moitié détruit ou abandonné.

Tout en se défendant contre des hordes de zombies, évidemment, qui toutefois vous laisseront tranquille la journée. Par contre le jour d’autres communautés de survivants pourront elles vous affronter tandis que vous cherchez à vous étendre.

Ce projet assez ambitieux vient donc d’atteindre le cap de la phase Alpha, ce qui est bon signe au moins pour voir arriver dans quelques temps la phase bêta. Pour vous faire une idée du gameplay, en plus de l’ancien trailer en en-tête voyez ci-dessous l’utile vidéo de gameplay diffusée en août.

Pour plus d’informations sur Infection Free Zone, qui ne semble pas devoir arriver avant au mieux courant 2023, voyez cette page sur Steam ainsi que cette page sur Kickstarter, où le jeu a réussi sa campagne de financement en octobre l’an dernier.

 

Communiqués

Next Stage: Alpha. Get your pre-alpha access today!

Greetings, Survivors!

We are very happy with the pre-alpha reception. A small group of Kickstarter backers had a chance to test the game in this very early stage and the first feedback is optimistic. Of course, there are many elements still requiring significant improvements, but observing the first reactions to Infection Free Zone is really satisfying to us.

Pre-alpha Feedback

Right now we are collecting all the feedback and prioritizing all the upcoming works that are ahead of us. Few systems require significant changes, while others are being already liked and appreciated in their current state. It’s a good sign for us and a reassurance that we are going in the right direction.

If you are interested in taking a quick look at some of the collected data, below are a few graphs!

Next Stage: Alpha

To summarize our current progression – we are officially working on the Alpha build now. Among many other things, here are some major areas that we are working on:

New buildings
. Factories that allow the production of tools, canned food, and arms. Barns, butcheries, and a few others.
New horde types
. Including infected leaders and various infected animals, all requiring a different strategy to deal with.
Vehicles
. A car allows the squad to move faster across the map. But it’s also hard to acquire and requires fuel to keep moving.
Walls
. Having a proper defense around your Zone changes everything.
Map Selector
. We want the players to have the whole globe at their disposal. Zoom in and out to find a perfect area for your own Zone.

911 Operator Board Game

On a side note – 911 Operator: Board Game
is coming to Kickstarter! 911 Operator is a very important game for Jutsu Games because this is basically where it all started for our company. Without 911 Operator, there would be no 112 Operator and no Infection Free Zone! If you are a board-games fan, this game might be right up your alley!

Infection Free Zone Pre-Alpha Access

We have recently received countless questions on how to access the pre-alpha build for Infection Free Zone. Some of you might get really excited as we have decided to add access to the Infection Free Zone’s pre-alpha as one of the 911 Operator: Board Game add-ons. Now you have an option to join the pre-alpha today!

Best regards,
Jutsu Games Team
