Zombie Invasion month continues today with a mash-up mission for LEVEL 7 [OMEGA PROTOCOL] that uses components and ideas from the newest Bodgers game, Zombies Keep Out.

When we had our first meeting about making scenarios for our non-Bodgers games using Zombies Keep Out as inspiration and spare parts, it was obvious that this would present an interesting way to change up game play in [OMEGA PROTOCOL].

My first thought was it could be interesting to play off the mindless aspect of zombies to build a mission that didn’t include an overseer. I also knew I wanted to incorporate the differences of the four different types of zombies in a simple way.

Building a map that mimicked the Zombies Keep Out map’s layout was fun. The details of the LEVEL 7 [OMEGA PROTOCOL] tiles gave me an easy way to turn the abstract concepts of the workshop from the Bodgers Game into specific locations for the machines and scrap piles.

Writing the mission intro to cast the bodgers in the roles of the specialists on a commando team was my favorite part of this project. It gave me a fun way to incorporate the bodger characters into the mission without changing how the commandos work.

I hope you have as much fun playing this mission as I had putting it together.
