Check out this incredibly cool art from Jason Chan for an independent video game concept called Zombie Playground. This is such a cool concept, and it spawned from a piece of art created a few years ago showing a group of kids taking out zombies on a playground. I'm sure you'll recognize it below. It's the last piece of art in the series. The creator even started a Kickstarter campaign to help raise money to develop the game.
Here's a description released for the game:
You take on the role of a kid during a zombie apocalypse as seen through his or her imagination. Your school is overrun by the undead, and it's up to you and your friends to do whatever it takes to survive!
Zombie Playground is an online, team based, action arena game with RPG elements. Gameplay will be deep, challenging, and rewarding. The game combines childhood nostalgia with horrific monsters,...

Why yes, it is "an online, team based, action arena game with RPG elements" featuring a group of grade school students fending off the undead. More information about this PC/Mac title after the jump.
Massive Black wants to take gamers back to middle school with their project which has a goal of $100,000, and is currently at about 12% of their target with 34 days to go. The developers describe their game as a mix of third-person shooter and action RPG featuring character progression and unlockable abilities along with weapon and clothing upgrades for your tiny zombie-killing terrors.
The development team is made up of BioWare vets (Jason Chan, Senior Artist, who gets top billing in the About section), and music producers/artists Aesop Rock and Shawn Lee. Massive Black isn't exactly an indie startup, though, the San Francisco studio having provided development support on titles like Infamous 2, and most recently, Starhawk.

There's no shortage of young Hollywood actors expressing their desire to star in the much-anticipated "Hunger Games" movie based on the young adult novels. But while most actors act a bit coy about their desire for a role in the film, "Step Up" and "Camp Rock 2" star, Alyson Stoner, is making sure she sends no mixed messages about her desire to play the lead role of Katniss, according to Ontd.
She recently tweeted the photo above of herself dressed as Katniss next to an illustration by Jason Chan.
Previously, she tweeted pictures of herself climbing a wall and a tree -- in the books, climbing is one of Katniss' better skills.
Her pal, "Suite Life" actress Debby Ryan told MTV.com that Stoner "read ['The Hunger Games' books] a few years ago, and I know that she's been very much in the mental place of the role... Knowing her better almost than I know myself,...
