Here's the Kickstarter presentation pitch video for the rather cool Box-O-Zombies iOS game, a strategy-resource building game that sees the Box-O-Zombies figures leaping from their plastic form into the digital realm. So head over to the project's Kickstarter Page and help make this a reality. And in return you could take advantage of the very cool incentives on offer, including an appearance in the game!
Box-O-Zombies, Immersive Realms, Eight Bit Studios and Pixeldom have begun development of the Box-O-Zombies mobile game for iOS that is expected to launch at Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, April 23rd, 2013. A preview of the game with a video and art assets is now available at http://boxozombies.com.
The Box-O-Zombies game will be a standalone mobile game experience based on the awesome intellectual property of the Box-O-Zombies toys, but will utilize a connectable, collectible series of zombie figures that will connect via the included bluetooth enabled NFC puck to unlock exclusive in-game content.
Pixeldom introduces a new form of in-game currency by allowing Pixels as an accepted form of payment, aside from real world dollars, for in-game purchasing. Pixels will allow players to purchase items with the digital social currency they have earned through the game and/or the Pixeldom website.
The Box-O-Zombies game is a civilization rebuilding and tower defense style mobile game that will allow you to discover the story of the mysterious Box-O-Zombies as well as rebuild your own civilization during a zombie apocalypse.
Progress of the game can be followed at the game preview site:http://boxozombies.com as well as on the Facebook and Twitter accounts of Box-O-Zombie, Pixeldom, and Eight Bit Studios.
If you've ever dreamed of getting your hands on ten inches of undead Samurai goodness, then I'd suggest you seek help. But if you've ever wanted your very own super-scale Samurai Zombie figure then you'll be pleased to see Box O Zombies' latest release, which suits your needs perfectly.
Limited to just one hundred pieces and priced at $149.95, the (un)life-like sculpt features an incredible level of detail and - unlike his smaller siblings - the Samurai Zombie comes pre-painted (with a rather awesome app, I might add.)
This week George and Ayleen - with guest Scott Tollenson - check-out the Star Wars Fighter Pods, Plush Tentacle, Godzilla, Box O Zombies (for another perspective, here's our Review) and more, plus there's the latest news from the world of toys and toy art.
The above is a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming 10'' Special Edition zombie, coming soon from Box O Zombies. No word yet on pricing, availability or when we can expect to see the final figure but we'll keep you posted.
You may recall last month we took a look at the super-cool Box O Zombies Series 1 and awarded the set a very respectable B+ score. But if that wasn't enough to entice you into grabbing a box for yourself, then how'd you like to score a set for free?
In an increasingly over populated world, land has become a coveted commodity where corporate greed and government corruption has lead to the latest advancements in ''human relocation.'' Greed can sometimes have consequences and accidents happen even to the biggest and most powerful. A crate containing these ''advancements'' is accidentally lost unleashing the worst plague known to mankind - The Undead.
A quick update from the Box O Zombies crew comes to us via their Facebook page, which features the above image and the news that ''The Zombies are finally here!''
Box O Zombies' Shawn Recinto informed me earlier this month that they were expecting the imminent arrival of the toys from the production plant and that shipping was set to begin in January. Now their arrival is confirmed, you can expect to see these very cool-looking undead figures on their way very soon!
I hadn't heard of Box O Zombies until I spotted a friend had ''Liked'' their Facebook page and - when I checked it out for myself - discovered just how cool these upcoming 2.5'' figures looked. And now I'm sharing the info with you. I'm sure there's a meta context to that. Zombies. Infection. Viral marketing. You know...
