About the author
I'm Juuso. I bake games. Indie style.
I started coding games when I was a small kid with access to Commodore 64.
I started this blog in the end of 2005, the same time when I started my own game dev studio (where I work part night time). Since launch, this blog has seen over one million visits from people all over the world. More about me can be found here

Can you add an option for, overdone… but still cool! :)
Heh, vote “good good” then – “there can never be enough zombies” sort of suggests that too. Sort of. :)
heh, anything ‘undead’ has been done to death. It’s boring and cliche. Which means that it takes a really unique and well done take on the concept to be any good.
I voted for them being overdone although in some games I think they can be a nice addition. It’s just that way to many games try incorporating them nowadays and it’s been played out for awhile now.
killing zombies is the politically correct way of killing humans in videogames… that’s why you see a lot of zombie games out there… if you kill regular humans, then “it’s too violent”
(@MC: Except that you cannot kill black zombies – remember Resident Evil 5?)
Bored of all the zombie games :( The only one I still like is Plants vs Zombies.
I’ll never get tired of zombies. There are still a lot of game options to explore :) Btw, we are making [another]one zombie game around here.
