HvZ @ IndieCade

Humans vs Zombies is coming BACK to IndieCade this year! Get ready to explore Culver City in a whole new way: armed with socks and dodging zombies. Get ready to team up with your fellow humans and watch each other's backs, but be careful who you trust... Your new friends could easily become infected enemies!

In addition to our glorious return, Gnarwhal Studios (the design team behind HvZ), has been asked to chair the social games festival at IndieCade! If you have a fun outdoor/board/card game that you want played at IndieCade, send us an email!


“HvZ The Movie” Update

Shock Till you Drop writes, "A Shock reader, Frederic Doss, alerted us to the following trailer for Humans vs. Zombies, a project Mr. Doss is involved in. It's another undead romp, a child of the Dawn of the Dead remake, from the looks of it. Or a companion piece to Automaton Transfusion, as it tells of high school students who become infected, turn into zombies and are unleashed on their unsuspecting town. Brian T. Jaynes directed."
Watch Trailer 1 and Trailer 2!


Advice for Noobs!

Humans Tactics
By Markus
All group techniques have essentially three goals: Speed, Stealth, and Support. Speed is vital in achieving mission objectives, in stunning single zombies, in fleeing zombie attacks, and in breaking sieges. Stealth is important to hunting zombies in early game, in obtaining intelligence on the hordes whereabouts, and in surviving the late game. Support is key for defending points, for breaking sieges, and in succeeding in missions. Yet, each of the three S’s directly cuts away from the others.

Zombie Tactics
By solmssteinke
This is the compliment to the Human Tactics Guide started by Markus – largely because it has been brought to my attention the lack of zombie-focused advice there is.

We start with a basic tenets the casual zed should follow. Anyone else wants to add something, cite which number you want to have modified or added, and put the material with it. I will edit if it is agreed upon as a good tactic.

Zombie Survival Guide
By Chevalier Mal Fet
Zombies are, sadly, a rare breed here on our forums. The Equipment and Toys section is the most active board by far. Guides and tips on how to stay living abound, but the fine art of stalking armed and paranoid humans is being neglected! There is Prez’s excellent Art of Zombie Warfare (a fine manual on how to organize the horde), but we at HvZ want more.

We therefore request for any and all experienced undead to help us create practical, as-you-shuffle guides, based in their own experiences with HvZ. I've written the following guide to kick off this initiative, but don't hold back! To teach everything about the Way of the Zombie, from the lowliest cannon fodder to the Overmind, it takes a horde. Read up and feel free to add more brains!

Game of the Season

We are pleased to announce that Northern Illinois University has reinstated their HvZ game. Since the tragic 1998 school shooting at NIU, HvZ has been banned. After years of working with their school, they have fought hard to come up with a compromise to bring the game back!
