*This is a post for my ZAAM fans. It would be wonderful if you read the whole thing to know what is going on.*
In the description of ZAAM3 it previously stated that the third game would be the final game of the trilogy. After some time and consideration I decided to not end it there anymore. There are many reasons to this change in decision and I'll try to briefly list them here for you.
1) I didn't feel like ZAAM3 gave players the experience I want.
Lag. Many, many, many people complained about lag. Now, even though this lag wasn't necessarily my fault I didn't want to leave the series like that. Even though I don't lag at ZAAM3 other people do. Because of this I am going to have play testers and friends help me make sure it is good to go before release. I want a good experience when playing the game.
2) Building
The building in ZAAM3 wasn't bad. I just didn't feel like I gave life to the city like I wanted. I wanted people to WANT to explore, play together and have fun. The longer ZAAM3 was together the more I saw how people just stayed around the spawn or got mauled quickly by zombies. I am going to try to make ZAAM4 more interesting to explore. ZAAM3's city didn't really have life which is what I want to change.
3) Dynamic Lighting
Although I could have simple threw dynamic lighting onto ZAAM3 this would have been cheap. The new dynamic lighting feature gives me a plethora of options to add life to the city. Overall, it'd be a fun thing to use for the first time.
Now, to say some of the features that I am interesting in including for ZAAM4. Feel free to respond to these ideas/make some of your own!
1) Cars:
A new addition to ZAAM4 will be cars. I am going to try to make ZAAM4 a sandbox game, not a hardcore survival game. All cars will be free to drive around and hopefully add a new fun factor to the experience.
2) Zombies
To lower lag from zombies I am going to try to make special zombies instead. No clothes, no hats, just a zombie. Some will be faster, some will be slower, stronger, poison, etc. Zombies will be more scarce but also more likely to kill you if you're not careful.
3) NPC:
I don't have this one down yet. I am including a lot of characters from my videos into ZAAM4. Most of them you can just talk to but I may add a quest system in the future.
4) Safe
zone: I am making this safe zone for you to walk around and do things in. You can go to the store, go get a car or chill if you so desire. The store is also going to be much more enticing to visit.
5) Guns:
I am going to get more interesting guns for people to use and have fun playing the game with. I will also try fixing the katana which will be hard to do because it works fine in testing.
That is all I can think of for now. I may make a new post if I think of anything in the future. Just a few extra important details.
Release date:
I have no date yet because I work on a random schedule. I am projecting early November or late October. That'd be ideal but it may take longer because of school.
ZAAM5:
ZAAM5 will most likely not happen. With me taking my utmost time with ZAAM4 I will not want to make one. Also, based on my very hard school schedule I won't have time. My time on ROBLOX is getting slim. Remember, I don't make sequels for the same reason as video game developers. ZAAM2, 3 or 4 would have never been created if I thought ZAAM1 was spectacular. I only make them if I am not satisfied with the last one.
Want to test ZAAM4?
Although I don't want to make people who want to see ZAAM4 pay to see it, I really want ad money for when I finish. It costs 50 robux to get in and all of my earnings will go to ZAAM4 advertising. Do not think I am pocketing that money. If you buy access I thank you for the support and ask you to PM me your opinion of the game when you finish.

4? As in there were 3 other ones? To be honest, three sounds like too many already.
Seriously, surviving zombies in McDonalds? What!? |

The sound of all those Future Developments in Zombies are attacking mcdonalds 4 sound terrific! but im not too sure it will be much better than ZAAM3 because ZAAM1 is the same as ZAAM2. Then its just like a Chain Connection system you added the same things but just added a bit more buildings ZAAM1-ZAAM3 are all the same Instead a great Idea is to combine ZAAM1-ZAAM2-ZAAM3 Together to create One Place only because sometimes I go to ZAAM1 and theirs barely anyone playing it. Its the same thing killing zombies. |

You need to hire some admins for the game. So many exploiters at the other one.. |
|
|
Exploiters are not really a concern for me. |

u should make a troll |
|

Bob, they exploit and delete the game. I used to visit everyday. I never go now. |
|
|
I've never ran into it, but I'll try to confront it in the next game. Exploiting is more ROBLOX's problem than mine. |
