Hello everyone,

About 2 weeks ago I had an idea for a new zombie game!

*groan* 

It's something I said I would never do as the market, tv and film seems to be flooded with zombies, but I felt it was all getting a little too serious so I decided to inject a little fun into the genre. I'm keeping quite a bit back at the moment until I get closer to the alpha release date, but lets just say it's not quite your average action game....

Sure it has all the elements of an action game, slashing, shooting, running..but there is a hidden element which I'm never revealing that makes the game unique.

The release date though may well be a few months away yet as i'm a solo game dev and having to produce and code EVERYTHING! As well as have a full time job, a wife and a child to look after too.

*NEW SCREENSHOT*

I've added Zombie dogs to the game to add a new element of fear, these bad boys can hunt you down longer than a human can. I've already been chased by 5 in game and almost killed my character running too much!

Just need to texture them now!



Here are some screenshots of the game so far






And a couple of Dev diary videos (more will be released soon as I get the other zones finalised)

Good luck dude, as you said the market is heavily saturated. And welcome to Exilian

[Jubal]

Look forward to seeing the alpha - do keep us up to date with how it goes

[Flamekebab]

I really like the visual style!

[IDProductions]

New update at top of page!

[Jubal]

Nice!

Also, cool, you're from Norwich? Quite a lot of us here hail from that part of the world including myself

[IDProductions]

Oh, whereabouts from?

[Jubal]

I grew up halfway between Diss and Thetford, and founded Exilian whilst at high school in Diss (from whence also Pentagathus, GMD, no1 Croat Fan, and several other members). stormwell, of Utherwald Press, is from Norwich too. Glaurung and Flamekebab both live in Cambridge (and we're going to be having our third convention in Cambridge in October, you should come over for that ).

[IDProductions]

I'll bear it in mind!

[Jubal]

Cool We should be officially putting out the date announcement and launching the convention site and stuff in the next week or so.

[IDProductions]

Been hard at work this past week and changed up alot of things, but at least now there are zombies including some rather large ones too, these guys mean business, though some are weaker than others.

Check them out




They also react when they are shot at too and recoil and...well....almost everything, some of them are still a bit dumb at the moment!

More videos are being recorded tomorrow as well to go through the last two zones of the stadium, The Forest Zone and the Military zone.

Next up, the crowd.....

And as always, feedback is appreciated, even criticisms

[Jubal]

The trees look oddly small comarted to the zombies/player - I'd probably opt for fewer bigger ones, with a few more low-level bushes etc?

Looks very nice though!

[IDProductions]

I did think that when playing, might look into making a few more random sized ones to make it look more like a forest!

[Jubal]

Aye - maybe some colour variation too, having a few darker ones?
