Zombie Exodus, going forward

With the idea of a dog being added to the group I decided to delurk.

I think adding a dog to the group would be a great idea. Obviously he could help with fighting since dogs are immune to the virus. Less obvious would be to use the dog to alert the cathedral members to zombies and bandits coming near. There is also using him for hunting. Perhaps each of these things could increase stats for the cathedral. A attack dog would have a small increase group offense, a dog trained to alert the group of zombies and bandits would increase cathedral defense, and a dog used for hunting could increase the food supply.

I don’t think breed would really matter because it would be such a small part of the game if added at all. However, the cathedral is located in a rural area so I would use breeds commonly found in rural areas opposed to a German Shepherd or Siberian Husky. Herding breeds, hunting breeds, and livestock guardian breeds.

Wow that turned out way longer than I thought it would. I’ll write a long review of the game later this evening when I have the time. The dog part just caught my eye.

@Greyjoy Ooh, I didn’t even think of those. Good thinkin’.

@JimD I understand. Unless it was a long chapter, it’d be hard to invest us in it much, but still.

Maybe a Rotweiler, then? I don’t live near a farm, so…

German Shephereds FTW. So whens a new mission coming out Jim? I gotta show my wife this game. She loves Choose your own adventure books and Im pretty sure shell like youre game.

has anyone considered a mutt? a German shepherd mixed with Rottweiler and some other good breeds would make an amazing dog

Why specify the breed?

Here is a link to the dog I’m thinking of making Toby.

DAIMYO THE UNDEAD SLAYING DOG(do ask if you dare and no I did not just make that up)

@JimD lol seriously? Those things are pretty vicious.

@JimD Pfft. Yes, zombies beware our deadly Attack Toy. :-))

In all seriousness, I would prefer something that can actually fight, as opposed to something that just thinks it can. I won’t ask to let us have a choice, because it might be too late for that.

DAIMYO THE UNDEAD SLAYING DOG

I like it(then again I have seen one of these take down a big powerful creature)

Toby looks fierce! :-))

SO VISIOUS. Im guessing that the dog is for moral purposes only.

Ehh so wheres the link to the beta to lazy to search back to find it.

here’s the link:

when I saw the dog pic I just cracked up for some reason and I really love how JimD interacts with his readers and is willing to adapt which is unlike other CoG games I love it!

@JimD - I have five of those things… !!!
Do I need fear an outbreak ? D:

I don’t think I’ll actually make Toby a Pomeranian. I do like the idea of a Labrador or German Shepperd.

Ooh, I’m good with either of those.

Thanks very much, sir. :slight_smile:

Also, I am working on the Emma’s secret scene, since it won’t be incredibly long and I have a great idea for how it works in the story.

When will it be completed?
