Enplex Games is deep in production of Population Zero, a forthcoming futuristic survival MMO that is currently planned for release sometime in 2019. We had the opportunity to chat with the team about Population Zero to find out more about its systems, features and aspirations. See what they had to say.

    "MMORPG: What is the goal for the server size in terms of the player population?

    Enplex Games: The goal is to have at least a few hundred players per server and we are working very hard to squeeze every last drop of technology available to us, to be able to get as many people together as possible. One thing we don’t enjoy is 20/40 player servers. That’s for sure."

    Then don't do server based game lol, do 1 server and have everyone play on that server. Most games with multiple servers at least 80% are dead, and its just not that fun. These mini server survival games are a dime a dozen, and just doesn't make sense to invest all that time into a game just to have it wiped monthly.

    Ill have to pass on this one, have too many like it already and its a time sink like crazy.

    If you don't want to create any content just call your game a survival game.Like msot do when looking for a quick buck,grab a known IP/movie and make a game on it and basically just sell the title alone.

    We can lump a thousand++ games all into the category of create assets,put assets in world pew pew.

    The graphics right away looked ot me like a game Seven Days to Die,so i assume this is maybe voxels but idk.The graphics are ok,low end but they work but there is no game just another same old survival title.
    ANY developer can do this,i can do this and this is what most devs are doing,baseless games,similar to an entire genre called ARPG's,mindless and baseless.

    Here is a Hint to sell your game...Quit worrying about this new era idea of WE NEED a million players on the same map,make a quality game FIRST,then worry about massive later.I can make my own map and just allow a ton of players "within my bandwidth limit"to load into a world,i wouldn't call that a GAME.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I was just thinking the other day that we need could use more PvP survival games, there just aren't enough in the world. And with the popularity of full loot on death, how could this one miss?

    Words are nice....throwing them around, jumbling them up, etc to hide the fact that its just.....another survival game.

    2019, the year of survival MMOs. Everyone and their mothers seem to be making survival MMOs all of a sudden.

    Q. How did you come up with the idea for the game? Where are you drawing inspiration from?
    A. We love the genre, but we always felt that it was missing something.

    I'd like to call that "interest." These games are a dime a dozen and there is no shortage in variations on these. There really don't seem to be enough players really interested in playing them though. They come and go so quickly.

    Funny because I seem to remember about 5 years ago this was the type of game everyone was asking for.
