Hey people! SickDeathFiend, me and the rest of the team are very excited to bring you our first game: Road of the Dead! Escape the quarantined city by driving through a highway filled with ravenous undead, carnage and chaos while the military tries to stop you! With 4 game modes, 24 medals and up to 1000 newgrounds point (OMFG!!!), we hope you greatly enjoy Road of the Dead! PERFORMANCE NOTE: Keep in mind the Q key to toggle the quality for people with slower computer, it is a pretty graphic intensive game :D The newgrounds Dimming Lights and Popup options can also help get better performance. Leave comments and tell us what you think of it! Cheers!

Road of the Dead Title Screen

Road of the Dead is an action-based Driving Game, with programming by Evil-Dog, art by SickDeathFiend, and a team of voice actors. It was submitted on October 13, 2010 and was an immediate success. It includes lots of upgrades and options and offers 24 Newgrounds Medal

ORJIN...

(WARNING, SPOILERS AHEAD) Road of the Dead is the story of a mechanic who escapes the zombie apocalypse, despite stiff opposition from the military and Zombies. He decides the best way to do so is to equip a black sports car with everything he has and drive on Highway 65 to the tunnel that leads to the exit. Along the way, the military notices his attempt, and attempts to stop him with ground troops, helicopters, and even jets capable of carpet bombing. Over the radio, the player hears a story of the military's failure to stop the zombie threat. Eventually, a higher ranking officer, General Sherman, takes command, and gets the President's permission to use "The Drop" on the city in hopes of stopping the outbreak, killing all remaining forces and innocent civilians in the process. Although the player can escape the city before the Nuclear bomb hits, the game ends on a negative note, as it does not successfully stop the zombies.

Road of the Dead includes four distinct modes, one of which is locked at the start.

The Great-dun dun dun BATMAN!!!

This is the main story mode. The player's goal is to escape the zombie-ridden city despite stiff opposition from the military. Players regularly reach save points, which they will revert to if killed. After death, the player goes back to the garage to upgrade their vehicle with money earned on their prior runs, and can then attempt to drive to the next save point.

Highway to being Skyped

The ground soldiers put little mini computers in your butt to see whats going on in your butt.YES ITS DISGUSTING!

Dead on pottytrain!

This is a high-score based mode, in which players, who have a constant time limit, must extend this time by running over zombies. Therefore, the player must hit as many zombies as possible while still avoiding other obstacles; most importantly there is a major time-loss for hitting civilians, making distinguishing between targets and judging distances

HEAVY WEAPON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is another high-score based mode, which instead pits the player against an endless road of military forces.

-== Story ==
-Road of the Dead is the story of a mechanic who escapes the zombie apocalypse, despite stiff opposition from the military and [[zombies]]. He decides the best way to do so is to equip a black sports car with everything he has and drive through everything in his path. Along the way, the military notices his attempt, and try to stop him. Over the radio, the player hears a story of the military's failure to stop the zombie threat and their eventual decision to nuke the city in hopes of stopping the outbreak, killing their forces and civilians in the process. The game ends on a negative note, as the nuke has apparently not destroyed the zombies.
+This is another high-score based mode, which instead pits the player against an endless road of military forces.
-== Design ==
-Road of the Dead includes four distinct modes. The first, "The Great Escape", is the main story mode. The player's goal is to escape the zombie-ridden city despite stiff opposition from the military. Players regularly reach save points, which they will revert to if killed. After death, the player goes back to the garage to upgrade their vehicle with money earned on their prior runs, and can then attempt to drive to the next save point. "Highway to Hell" is a harder version of this mode, and is unlocked once the game has been beaten. "Dead on Time" is a high-score based mode, in which players, who have a constant time limit, must extend this time by running over zombies. "Police State" is another high-score based mode, which instead pits the player against an endless road of military forces.

+'''nothing to see here. :('''
-Road of the Dead features a fairly complex control scheme, which can be customized in the main menu. Players usually control the car's steering with the A and D keys, acceleration with the W key, and braking with the S key. The hand brake, which has more dramatic effects but offers poor control, is controlled via the spacebar. The E key controls the horn, which frightens away civilians but attracts zombies. The windshield wiper, controlled by R, washes blood and gore from the player's victims away. If an enemy is on the roof of the car, the player can shoot them with the F key, damaging their windshield in the process. The P key activates the "Perception" mode, which offers an ultra simplified version of the game's graphics at the top of the screen, which is useful for spotting hidden objects or enemies. Q changes the quality of the graphics.

-== Presentation ==
-[[File:Road_of_the_Dead.png|thumb|Had that been a civilian, there would have been several lawsuits.]]The game, which takes place in a three dimensional environment yet uses 2D art, has sophisticated graphics, including a variety of civilians, soldiers, zombies, vehicles and backgrounds.  The animation is full and complex, showing in detail the results of everything the player does, to more or less arcade standard.  This includes not only blood but also entrails in fully graphic detail, for which the game has a warning at the beginning.  The sound effects are full and detailed, including the various vehicles, people and sound effects. The game's story is heard over the radio, where the various actors refer to the events of the unfolding zombie apocalypse and the attempts to stop the player.
