Latest dispatch
- The dead kept their uniforms. Zombies are infected people now: men, women, kids and teens, two skin tones, dressed for the job they had. Search them once they are down.
- They chase. They shamble, then run you down three times faster, climb and beat doors in. Some snap: red eyes light up and they sprint. Take a leg and they crawl.
- Divers on the beaches. Mind the sand: some of the dead came out of the water.
- New faces. Every body, head, hairstyle and piece of clothing rebuilt from public-domain MakeHuman assets.
- Sounds, take two. Effects replaced one by one, closer to the originals. And the zombies have their own voices.

OpenZ is a free development build, for testing and feedback. It stays free until every licence is cleared. Nothing is sold: donations are voluntary and give nothing in return.
A donation helps cover the server, the tools and the late nights. It gives you nothing extra in the game, and it never will.
