destraX have made this game called Ground Zero: Genesis of a New World, which is not in any way affiliated to the Doom III mod, nor the creators of Forlorn World. It's another German-made game, which also makes me wonder "Why the heck haven't I been told about it". It looks like the amount of actual role-playing is limited, judging by the character creation screen, but then again, have another glance at the Worldmap.<blockquote><center>

Nobody remembers who started it. But does this really matter? It lasted only a few seconds. A short, intense flash of light and the world would never be the same again.
Humanity bombed itself back to stone age. The cities are burnt down and the earth is covered with deserts. The few survivors struggle to survive. The ones with enough will and strength start searching for other survivors. Law and order has ceased to exist. Food and water are rare and many don't hesitate to use brutal force to get what they want. But there might be hope for rescue. Again and again the few working radios are repeating: "Your resort, your chance for a new life. Rebuilding has started. Come to the coordinates 34N, 53W. We are waiting for you!".
The player takes the role of the leader and has to build up a team - whatever action it may take. With the help of this team he has to take control of the world of Ground Zero. To achieve this he must conquer 20 different locations and protect them from his enemies. The leader can choose between 250 different equipments like weapons, armour, building materials and food. There are 3 different professions: mercenary, technician, and doctor.</blockquote>From what I gathered on the German website, the German version is already available. The English one is due 04/08/2006, according to Play.com (UK).
