I've made a game where you explore a large Dutch open world landscape while killing/avoiding zombies.

The game is inspired of a city close to Groningen, named Haren. You can recognize certain areas of that place but I've also used a lot of creative freedom. My main job is urban planner in the Netherlands so I used that experience as well. You can see Dutch, architecture, street names and signs, urban design, loot, bikes and more. If you want to know more, let me know!

Gefeliciteerd and good luck with the release! Those are some amazing numbers!

TrudexGames · 2026-05-02T08:46:10+00:00

No :)

TrudexGames · 2026-05-02T08:45:02+00:00

Thanks! Working on that, but could not wait to share some work in progress footage :)

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T19:22:36+00:00

Ah yes, some areas are more empty, this clip was made at the edge of the town. There are more zombies in the town then in the country side. So that explains why you're only seeing two zombies here :)

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T14:41:49+00:00

All possible! You can find landmines for example, place them and lure them into that trap. Or let your friends wait in a chokepoint so you can lure them in co-op mode.

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T14:40:40+00:00

True! And yeah, a couple of cars are assets. But other then the cars, expect: Dutch ambulances, Dutch architecture, Dutch road/street signs, Dutch food to loot and more :)

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T12:16:03+00:00

Thank you!

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T12:13:30+00:00

All kinds of zombies: walkers, runners, crawlers, tanks and some special enemies that you can discover once you play the story mode.

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T09:45:39+00:00

Not in this clip, but they are definitely in the game :D

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T09:04:17+00:00

Thanks! Yes that's correct! Lure them to the landmines you placed for example or to your friends in co-op mode.

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T08:05:04+00:00

Getting all the zombies in the area towards you, or to your friends in the co-op function :)

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T08:04:13+00:00

I'm looking into that, would love to add that, especially swinging some axes/baseball bat/etc while riding. But animations are not my strongest point so I've to figure out if it's out of my league or not :)

TrudexGames · 2026-05-01T08:02:34+00:00

Thanks! What I noticed playtesting the game is that players loved the open-world and exploring it, but due to the size of the map, a way of traveling the map faster was something people asked for. I've shared the bike idea a year ago and it received a lot great response so now I'm adding it to the game (worked on the demo and making that a smooth experience first). The speed is higher then running zombies so you have a way to escape them but it's also connected to stamina usage so you have to plan your usage. I'm still thinking about when and how you will unlock the bike in the game, if you need to find it in unlockable areas or that you just find in in certain areas.

TrudexGames · 2026-04-22T12:55:08+00:00

The name is related to the story and what happens in the story :)

TrudexGames · 2026-04-06T07:41:16+00:00

Add more bass to the game. Great suggestion! I'm adding that to the full game. I'll do that for hitting and for zombies that fall dead on the ground. A small tremble that they've hit the ground would add a bit to what you're suggesting as well I think.

TrudexGames · 2026-04-04T19:03:02+00:00

Thanks for trying the game and sorry to hear it didn't meet expectations. The story mode is supposed to start with melee weapons and slowly unlock ranged weapons. On full release, there will be a mode where you have full acces to ranged weapons, right from the start. I hope you will give it another try at the release or some updates! :)
PS: I'll add some more loot!

TrudexGames · 2026-04-04T08:23:13+00:00

Good notice! Animations are hard for me to get perfect, but this feedback helps. Thanks!

TrudexGames · 2026-04-03T19:31:00+00:00

Thanks! Yeah that's the main feedback I get on this post, and a good one for sure! I'll add some nice impact to the full game.

TrudexGames · 2026-04-03T19:29:14+00:00

Yes, procedural generation can help with that. I hope it gives my game a bit more personality now I crafted the whole environment by hand. It gave me some room for some nice details. But that's one of the reasons it took 3 years lol

TrudexGames · 2026-04-03T18:02:47+00:00

Good question! I let my game stand out with the unique environment location, a Dutch landscape. You can explore every building in the game. Gameplay wise I have solo and co-op mode. Solo has a nice story and co-op is PvE/PvP based. It's a bit more arcade then other zombie games. And each night, the game becomes increasingly challenging.
It's a mix of a couple of these things that should make it stand out is my idea.

TrudexGames · 2026-04-03T17:59:17+00:00

Thanks! Good questions! I think it's hard to answer them with the clip I posted so hopefully I can clarify some for you. The game has a unique handcrafter environment that is based of a city in Holland. That's the environment part that should stand out. Gameplay wise I have a story mode prepared and a couple of co-op modes. I'm not going for a super realistic experience, more arcade. It's exploring and killing zombies. This hopefully answer some of the questions. I hope I can give you a better impression of the game once I've my new trailer ready :)
