I'm going to be on a conference call with the creators of ROBLOX's two most popular zombie survival games, Gusmanak and DeadzoneZackZak.

http://www.roblox.com/Apocalypse-Rising-v4-5-2-place?id=1600503

http://www.roblox.com/Deadzone-Apocalypse-Simulator-place?id=102410241

We're going be having a critical discussion about the various design decisions that each builder made when creating their game.

For example, some topics of discussion made include:

* The relative tradeoffs of selling in-game currency

* The role of vehicles in zombo survival games

* How does your default pack size change player behavior

* Music - pros and cons

* How game design influences play style

Do you have any questions you wish you could ask these guys? If so, post it here. I'll come through and collect them before our 2:30 interview (PST)

Ask them if they enjoy working on the game itself, and what makes it so enjoyable if so.

Alright here is my Question sheddie,

Do you think the competition between your zombie level and the other players zombie level is encouraging you to produce new and better design to get players playing on your level? Do you like competing against other players to improve your game?

what ideas do you have in mind, which will achieve your goal of taking or remaining the number one spot of a zombie survival game?

I'd like to ask them if they like being famous and if they like getting the money. If they like getting the money, what would they really want to buy.

Army, they do it for the fun, not the money. They both have barely any hats but a lot of money.

Ask them about the stories behind the game, what the plotline is and how they developed the storyline.

BARELY any ROBLOX games have any sort of storyline; a game's storyline greatly aids the player's experience and adds to gameplay.
