@Cass It IS being developed I cannot provide a release date since we still have a lot of work to do first to make a stable build, but you can expect something close to DayZ SA and some other survival games mechanics. Big fan of both games that's why I decided to work on this project (even knowing it is quite big project for a beginner )

I currently have 3 modders on the team that are helping me a lot to implement some of the ideas you guys are suggesting and those that I also come up with. You can check their profiles in the topic. Take a peek at the Trello to see what's coming up (pretty sure you are a Chernarus veteran, am I right? )

@Eddlm Damn right. That's what we have in mind, yeah. Traffic and peds will completely disappear from the world so we make sure only certain peds, zeds and vehicles are spawned (the player will have to find them and repair them in order to drive them around)

Didn't come up with that tho. I just love your idea of making the world more "alive" rather than killing infected every once in a while. It's not like we are developing an "I am Legend" movie-based mod. Those encounters will allow the player to make choices... "Should I kill that family and take their car or just let them pass by" and that kind of situations. Somehow I focused this mod in the player since the beginning that I completely forgot about the rest of Los Santos haha

Your project sounds interesting, you should give it a chance! Reminds me of Mad Max?

@Eddlm First of all, I wanna personally thank you for taking your time in writing such a detailed reply to the topic. I'm flattered you noticed us! Been a big fan of your scripts tbh. Appreciated, mate.

About your concerns:

-Survivors/NPCs: What we have in mind atm is to bring a whole new experience to GTA where you are not the only one hunting survivors/bandits/zombies, but also being hunted. Holdups and bandits trying to steal your loot is also planned, although it's not mentioned in the topic (there are a lot of features we are planning to add to the final version that haven't been revealed yet, we wanna surprise you guys All of them can be found in our Trello ). I'm not a fan of RPGs where you have to find/talk to inactive npcs, standing still there for you to interact with and ask for favors or quests (which is also considered a planned feature), just what you mentioned. But yeah, I like what you are suggesting, random encounters or maybe not that random, you just run into them fighting for the same supplies? Annotated.

-Zombies: We are trying to focus on a complex AI, not just zombies wandering around. We want them to chase down the player and also be hard to kill with melees, so the player has to think about it twice before engaging them. We would like to add quick time events to the experience, but I feel it will be a pain in the ass to implement. Hordes of zombies may be added if they don't have a big impact in performance. I'll write down your suggestion as well. I'd like to see zombies being distracted by a flare, allowing the player to sneak behind them. Or being attracted to nearby gunshots of other survivors as you describe.

Regarding the police and military, it is also planned to add different factions (friendly/hostile) to the world when we have a stable release and make sure the basics are working properly so you can expect that too.

We will definitely consider your ideas. I have already added all of them to the Trello. If you wanna take a peak, you are more than welcome, just text me.

Thank you all again for supporting this project! We are very grateful and looking forward to bringing something special for all of you to enjoy Stay tuned

P.S. I'll try to be more active this year

@hrefayi you mean finding other survivors by listening to their radio transmissions? maybe gather intel about air drops and their location? We already have something in mind but yeah, I like it

About the extractions, I take note of that (Added to Trello ). You take the role of someone working for the army/goverment? The Division style? Something along those lines? Could be implemented, yep. Don't expect it to be in the early releases of the mod tho.

Thnx!

@Think_Tank Appreciated. I won't let you down let's see how GTA:N develops with time tho

@Think_Tank what's your point? lol it's not like we are in the 60's and this is the Space Race. I do strongly believe that @sollaholla have done a great job with Simple Zombies, that's why I thought it was worth mentioning him in the topic, not messing with his mod, in case you get it twisted.

You are right, I haven't been as active as I would like to, but this is not something I do 24/7. It's my very first project and I'm still learning everyday, so please, go easy on me other modders' experience are always welcomed to make this mod even bigger.

Fivereborn is not planned, but I look forward to making it compatible with GTA Network in the future, because I'd also love to see what this mod can offer with multiplayer experience added.

@sollaholla and you still have, mate! nothing to worry about!

@Think_Tank said in [SCRIPT][WIP] Project GTA V:Apocalypse:

@HenryTux I'm sure you already know of this but there is a mod that turns the peds into zombies. If you want to make then look like zombies that's going to take a lot of time. Also, there are sites you can see how an actual zombie outbreak (or any other epidemic) would spread through the world, use that for a more believable story. Bugs would also turn people into zombies through bites.

I will definitely look into it, thanks!

@Aprath said in [SCRIPT][WIP] Project GTA V:Apocalypse:

coming soon?

We do not have a stable version yet so...stay tuned

@Sh3nZeR said in [SCRIPT][WIP] Project GTA V:Apocalypse:

@HenryTux Can u also do a standalone script that helps in using online character in SP ?

Will see

@MAESTRE said in [SCRIPT][WIP] Project GTA V:Apocalypse:

Just one thing man, make config customizable, like weather, blackout, no cars working, etc... It's frustrating sometimes when you don't want a feature

I feel you, I'll see what we can do

Is this project dead?

@didiaodemiao said in [SCRIPT][WIP] Project GTA V:Apocalypse:

Is this project dead?

No, it's not. We took a break for Xmas. Still working on it. We apologise for any inconvenience

@Sh3nZeR said in [SCRIPT][WIP] Project GTA V:Apocalypse:

@HenryTux This with Joel & Ellie mods out there ?
Gentlemen, We hav ourselves "Last Of V"

As long as the creator of those textures allows us to include them, sure! You shouldn't have any issues with any custom texture mods

THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PATIENCE...meanwhile, a big shout-out to @sollaholla , check out his work too https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/simple-zombies

@vitinskb I'm not expecting players to make use of complex menus but to focus on the survival experience. Don't worry about the keybindings I'll also try to implement the mod with controller users in mind. Thanks for the call out anyways

@vitinskb We are currently working on it check out the topic in Work In Progress :
