Apocalypse Rising 4.0
Are you ready for a change at Apocalypse Rising? Are you a ROBLOX gamer, that loves it? Well. Big updates are coming...

A New Inventory/Map System


ZolarKeth is also in the process of re-coding the inventory system–larger, more intense weapons will take up more space, forcing users to choose which items they carry carefully. The re-engineered inventory system will play a more pivotal role in the game than ever before.

Vehicles
That's right, Apocalypse Rising is going to feature modes of transport That’s not to say that the game is going to become Grand Theft Auto: Zombie Edition–to the contrary. ZolarKeth explains the addition:

“The biggest part of our new update will be vehicles. We have this huge repair system planned for the modular system. We took a lot from Day Z. We’re designing the whole vehicle dynamic so that you have to work together with other people to keep a vehicle going. You’re going to need parts to repair it, and there won’t be enough spots in your inventory to keep all those parts and stay alive individually. So you’re going to have to work together if you want to maintain your vehicle.”

This is part of ZolarKeth’s plan to force in-game collaboration. Using a vehicle in Apocalypse Rising proves to be a bit of a double-edged sword–you’re safer inside a car, but you’re also a larger target that draws attention. Driving makes you and your crew louder and more noticeable. Zombies will chase you as you drive around the map, and ZolarKeth is in the process of leveraging our physics system to get the cars to realistically run over the undead. You’ll also be able to use vehicles for protection–though a large enough swarm of zombies will eventually overtake a stationary vehicle. You’ve got to keep moving.



A Different Type of Game
ZolarKeth and Gusmanak are making these changes to make Apocalypse Rising a more social experience. ZolarKeth indicated that many people who play the game choose to travel alone–which is a common attitude in Day Z as well. But the truest and easiest way to stay alive for longest is to band together with other users, and combine inventories and weapons. They’re hoping that the addition of vehicles does just that.

“We want to get people to look at the big picture here,” says ZolarKeth. “You have to interact with one another to stay alive. We’re really trying to encourage teamwork.”

There is no set deadline for the release of Apocalypse Rising 4.0–though ZolarKeth has indicated that they’re set on releasing their updated game sometime before Christmas.
