Will there ever be Rebuild 4?
Is there even a glimpse of hope of a new game?

That's for Sarah to decide these games likely started as just a hobby Sarah and her friends probably didn't expect their flash game to be such a hit when they released it.

Speak for yourself there are MANY that don't like this poc game :)
Take your own advice and speak for YOUR self. If you have nothing useful to add to the thread you should not be wasting everyones time by posting.

To the OP, I hope there are future games. This is quite a good series and I would love to see it continue at some point.
I'm going to agree with Slayah a bit on this one. Rebuilt is extremely good as far as concept and bare-bones games goes, but it's really bare of content, and not really worth the $15 price tag. It's an extremely basic city sim with some extremely basic survival elements.

I'm in a different payzone and here it's priced very reasonably. Why not buy it on sale then?

Also, I don't feel that this game is bare. It's repetitive, yeah, but that's why I'm here. It's repetitive in a way that I personally like.

It would be cool if a 4 came out. I'd be into it. Great game. Great dev.

I have zero clue why haters bother spending time posting negative crap. Do you seriously have nothing better to do with your time, like maybe go play a game you like, surf some porn, stare a a wall, get a job, slap your mothers for raising useless flesh - anything.

Totally disagree. I find it to be a very fun, if not addictive game. The only thing I'd agree on is that a lot of spoiled brats float around Steam and seem their feelings of self entitlement never cease to amaze.

Here's a question for all the whiners. Do you have a job? Do you expect to get paid for working? Or are you children of millionaires who want for nothing, yet still complain, when not doing community service volunteer work?

You have to be a damn good programmer to create a game (and designer, possibly artist, deal with sound, know how to deal with issues across multiple OSes, etc). The average coder good enough to pull this off can probably make 100k/yr easily. How many copies of a game does one need to sell at $15 each just to pay for ONE such dev?

It takes months of work to make a game like this, or years to make a AAA game. And people cry about $15 for an indie game, or $60 for a AAA game. It's beyond belief. What's even more insulting is the scumbags who steal software and come up with idiotic justifications for being criminals - but that's another topic.

You probably spend $5 on a coffe, $8 for a pack of smokes, $10 for a drink in a bar, $50+/month just to get service on your overpriced phone. I spend 50-80 for a decent meal out with my wife and 1 drink each and don't even blink. And so on, and so on.

Let's say you do actually have a job and don't just live at home sponging off your mom. You probably earn at least $7.50 per hour (no clue what the minimum wage is since that was 40 years ago for my jaded old dude self). So you're complaining about a game that took high paid specialists months to make that costs you two hours of your labor? (or far, far less for anybody making more than minimum wage)

I'm thinking you need to go on strike and ask mommy for a bigger allowance or something. Maybe spend as much time improving your financial situation as you do complaining about the cost of some of the best value/dollar entertainment you can ever buy (video games in general).

Because seriously, anybody complaining about a good game costing $15 is living in an alternate reality of delusion.

IMO, game devs not only have to be a pros pro, but they have to have incredibly thick skin for so many reasons, with people belittling their work and demaining the value of their work being just one of them.

Kinda like trolling the forums for a game you've got nothing good to say about?

Yeah, guys, just don't mind him. Calling others simple minded yet has nothing better to do than throwing insults on the forums of the game he isn't interested in :D this is what 'great minds' do, like, totally.


Going back to the topic I don't think we'll have the 4th part. The devs never said anything about that and maybe they'll make something completely new (and that's 100% OK!). Let's hope! ^_^

Well Sarah has been working on Fantastic Contraption (for VR I think) most recently but still shows R3 some love as I got an email a couple of weeks back thanking me for a bug report for a bug she had been trying to hunt down for a while and could now patch.
If she did an R4 I would like to see the possibilty of playing as the other factions with other win conditions available.

For example;
Being able to play as Church of the Chosen and have the win condition of having x amount of cultists in other factions.
Last Judgement and extorting resources out of other factions as 'protection money'

To answer the main post:
I hope, the game will continue ;)

The basic game type is different to all zombie games i played so far and the games i have read about it.
Even if the game is "simple", it is fun to play sometimes.
The only "bad" thing about the game is the nearly impossible (extreme hard) to find the only option to really "win" the game on another way.

IF i would change some things, only following for the next part:
- Making decisions pore potent so that you can make even "false" decisions and the are in the game (in the moment your decision is "wortless" all leads to the same on the main story)
- Improving the equipment system. A vehicle, a baby or a helmet should not be the same in inventory ;)
- adding more options for building, exploring etc ;)
- making multiplayer possible somehow ;)
- more equipment, factions etc.
- improved character stats ;)

This game is great for what is being sold for, (better then some AAA games now a days)

I do hope that if there is going to be a rebuild 4 that there wil be some more inputs for the game set up so you can mix and mach to have more variation. for example:

*Monsters: like Zombies, animals, demons bug and maybe corupted corps. etc
*Location : cities, industialized parts, forrest or caves. Each map would have its strengths and challenges
*Map effects somthing random that alters one of the game rules. like you can only get food from hunting. Or healing places have a 50% to heal you or kill. Or most people wil be very dependant on alcohol making bars very important. Heavy fog making fire arms useless due to pore sight.
*Cultural: natural perks that most survivers would have. like good shooters but poor learners. or Hardworking but they eat alot.

It took 4 years before I had to ban my first troll. Thanks everyone else for being so awesome!

Yes, some people think Rebuild 3 is repetitive, which is something I'd work on if I was going to do Rebuild 4. I'd also strongly consider making it multiplayer which of course would be a very different game. Maybe different is good. Maybe it wouldn't even have zombies. It's fun to think about even though I have no plans for Rebuild 4 now, so suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome.

I have other games I want to make first. After Rebuild 3 I worked on Fantastic Contraption VR, and now I'm making a small solo vr game about gardening and alien plants. Next I have plans for a (non-vr) sci-fi strategy game a little more similar to Rebuild.

The non-VR strategy game sounds cool, and the Rebuild mechanic works quite well.

Out of curiosity do you think Rebuild 3 would lend itself well to DLC? Instead of trying to do a Rebuild 4 in the future, might it make more sense/be simpler to be able to download content that modifies the game (play different factions, another campaign maybe, etc?)

Have to say the game IS repetitive and gets quite boring. I tried it, didn't like it at all; got a refund.

Would love another Rebuild or similar type of game. I don't mind if it was repetitive because of the many options you had. Keep at it Sarah ! Been a huge fan since Rebuild ( 1 ) so you can imagine how much am looking forward to your games.
