With the launch of their site, a new post-apocalyptic strategy game in the works is announced.<blockquote>We are glad to inform you that we have started working on the computer strategic game entitled Global Epidemic www.globalepidemic.pl

Global Epidemic is a strategic game in which the apocalyptic vision of the world plagued by fatal epidemics is presented. Global Epidemic is the first in the world game where the plot of the conflict is the fight with an invisible opponent that with the ruthlessness of a primitive and heartless microorganism kills all the cities, countries, continents. The final stake is the survival of the human species.

The game consists of several missions in which the players have to meet the most dangerous pathogens that a man has ever encountered such as Ebola virus, the bubonic plague, the smallpox and others. There are also missions in which the player has to face even more dangerous opponents that is genetic engineering products kept secret in secret laboratories. The thing that tries to hide in the most dark and damp places of the equatorial jungle is also very frightening. As the game proceeds the civilization that we know is on the decline. It only depends on the player whether the mankind finally survives such a horrible trial or not.

Main characteristics of the game

- Realistic model of epidemic spread
- Epidemic situation management from the level of the world map
- The development of new medicine and vaccinations
- Quarantine and disinfection implementation
- The possibility to face the most dangerous pathogens (Ebola virus, anthrax, the plague, birds flu, and others)
- The threat connected with bioterrorist attacks, natural epidemic, accidents in laboratories, mutations and creations of genetic engineering
- Developed technologies connected with microbiology, genetic engineering, social and military engineering
- Several missions with different characteristics and difficult moral decisions to be undertaken
- Convenient system of time passage control
- Climatic and thrilling illustrations
- Windows and Linux system versions</blockquote><center></center>
 
to be honest, this game sounds pretty darn boring. nice idea though.
 
Wouldn't it be "apocalyptic"? Is it during the plague, or after it? Because a game during it would be pretty good in many ways.
 
Am I the only one thinking that this sentence....

The thing that tries to hide in the most dark and damp places of the equatorial jungle is also very frightening.

... sounds somehow weird and unintentionally funny?
 
Well, this looks like something fresh, for a change. Haven't seen a game focused on global epidemic before, have I. Will keep an eye for it.

Not until I read your post, then I read it again and had a chuckle.

Sounds interesting and unique, gonna keep an eye out for it.
 
I just started laughing halfway through. I can't put my finger on it but it almost sounds like a joke.
 
Well this could turn out really original and boring, or really original and cool. Yup, those are the only two options that could ever occur.

This does sound interesting though.
 
I sure hope this turns out good. It takes a different approach to the apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic theme than the usual "nukes fall, everyone dies!" and I applaud it for that! Now let's see if it'll be a good game too.
 
The Story Of How Jebus Read This Thread
A schematical overview

1. Read thread title
2. Thought 'OH MY GOD THE END IS HERE'
3. Made peace with impending death
4. Was about to give away everything he owned, quit his job, go over to his g/f and spend his last days/hours smoking pot and having sex
5. Read the post
6. Felt strangely dissapointed
 
I love the concept art. Really good stuff.

Something we should be following closely methinks.
 
Very interesting.
The concept has a lot of promise,but they say almost nothing about the execution.

What little they say makes me wonder if they are making a"Crisis Management Tycoon" game.

At least I wasn't the only one.
 
Another "announced" post apoc game.

*reads actual post*

Oh.. so this is different. It's not an RPG. It might actually get finished then. Sounds about as interesting as Theme Hospital though.
 
Concept art is awesome, really talented artist.

Sadly I don't believe in an RTS game where you battle microbes, unless either

a) You battle the INFECTED, not the microbes

or

b) They're giant microbes with machine guns
 
hah, yeah. It would be interesting if they could make it like the old X-Com games, allowing you to fight the terrorists, aliens, bio-engineered virus spreaders (whatever) and such with trained specialists.
