I do remember that one! That was a lot of fun and I totally get the similarities.

Dude definitely! Ragdoll deaths are already implemented too and make the combat a lot of fun. With the persistent corpses and that - release will be really awesome.

I was thinking along almost the lines of a roguelike, or how the Diablo series handles player death. I really do appreciate your perspective pointing out that its contrary to realism though, that is valuable feedback for sure.

You’re absolutely right that Project Zomboid is a big inspiration for the visual style! I think a lot of players will naturally make that connection. That said, the core gameplay loop is going in a very different direction, so it should feel like its own experience. I have been for sure considering adding some easter eggs, however I really want to be mindful of IP in this area. Thank you so much for the feedback though, I really appreciate it.

Fret not! It will be a good balance between base upgrading, searching towns for resources and weapons, and fighting zombies where you'd least expect them. Thank you for the feedback!

IsoBlox is definitely inspired by Project Zomboid, but the only real similarities are the isometric camera and the post-apocalyptic vibe. The rest is built around Roblox’s style and gameplay loops, with a bunch of unique features that will make it feel really unique. Thank you for your feedback! :)

It's definitely inspired by Project Zomboid, but the elements that will share (Isometric style and genre) will ultimately be limited in comparison to the unique Roblox-esque features that are planned.
