Zombie Panic! Source getting a massive update

The ZP Development team has been hard at work for the past few months, working on a major milestone in ZPS development. This update will include several new maps, new features, and a new game mode.

But first, I want to talk about a new competition that we are hosting.

That's right. In honor of Halloween and Zombie Panic's (HL1 Mod) 5 year anniversary, we will be hosting a prop modeling contest! The duration of this contest will be 2 weeks starting now and ending October 17th of this year, and the rules can be found here.


Now, with that out of the way, we can talk about ZPS 2.0, which we hope to release on October 31, 2009! That's right, we're aiming for a Halloween release! Included is a new game mode, which is currently codenamed as "ZPA". As we get closer to release, we will detail more about this game mode. But we aim to release ZPA with *two* new maps, as well as a slew of features and enhancements that are ZPA-exclusive.

zps_clubzombo

That's not all though. We've got a list of major and minor features, which you will see us post as we get closer to release. Here's our changelog with some items hidden allowing you all to ponder what else we might have going in game:
