The zombie apocalypse comes round knocking...

[darkmushroomm]

I am thinking of writing a GAME story for a Zombie RPG, and I was wondering what you guys think I should put in. Here are some ideas I need help with:

1. How the zombies came to exist (I'm want something that hasn't been used too many times before).

2. Whether it should have a set character or a customisable one.

3. Whether it should be at the beginning or the middle of the apocalypse.

There are definitely going be side-quests, free roam and non-restrictive classes (for example choosing to be a healer and only being able to heal).

Anything else you guys can think of would be really helpful, thanks.

I would say make it set right after the zombie out break occurred. you can slowly watch as it all spreads.

I would stick with customization since it adds a lot of replay value to a game. The story of the zombie outbreak should probably begin with one person who suddenly infects one person and it spreads from there. The person could be in a hospital or working underground and gets sick from some unknown illness. The RPG could kick off right as the zombie virus starts becoming a big problem, or basically when most of the world is consumed by it.

Hmm I'm wondering where the setting could take place. Maybe somewhere in canada hmmm
