Ty ;P.

Update (Previous Link Works Too)

Weapon Selection part added, along with the Boat level, which has some "carvings" explaining the controls.

As for the Weapon Select controls:

  • Select a category from the boxes (numbered 1-5 in a corner).
  • Now select a weapon from the box below these.
  • With the weapon selected, press E or click "USE", bottom-right corner of the box.
  • Once your weapons are equipped, press SPACE to enter the level.

You should note that you start with only 3 weapons, so those instructions are not important right now, it will be explained on the weapon selection screen later on your first time playing :).

You should also note that you can't die or win yet :D.

EDIT: Now uploading a version with a fixed gun (people know that the gun looks weird when it is pointed behind the player whilst facing to the right), it was tricky but I managed to adjust the weapon so that it always points the correct way :). I'm also testing the death function I've just added, run into a bunch of normal zombies (they spawn at the top of the left of the ship), let them kill you and see what happens :3.

Fixed.

I think I know how, you press equip after selecting the category (without choosing the weapon), leaving you with a weapon that you don't have.

There's also another glitch which I've just fixed, was about to upload but I'll fix the weapons first.

EDIT: Or you're picking a category with no weapons but it is displaying a weapon which you don't have, so you're able to equip it.

>I'm also testing the death function I've just added,
After death you can still spin your weapon and zombies still spawn but they die instantly.

Yeah I know why that is, I'll fix it later, thank you :).

EDIT: Fixed now, but haven't uploaded it yet :3.

Upcoming Update

  • Shark Zombie Added (1)
  • Sewers Added (2)
  • Weapons are Unlocked as you Progress
  • Dynamic Explosion Generating System Added (3)

(1) Shark Zombie

The Shark Zombie is the 4th zombie, known to veteran watchers on the project as 'Undead Zombie', the idea was that it crawled towards you constantly and blended with its surroundings until it attacked you, at which point you'd see it and either dodge it quickly or take massive damage.

The Shark Zombie works exactly as planned, but might need some balancing out to make it as hard to kill as the other zombies.

(2) The Sewers

The third location in the Campaign, Denfer decides to take a quicker route in to the Hospital, via the Sewers, your intentions are to clear out the stereotypical goldmine of zombies (and possibly survivors).

(3) The Dynamic Explosion Generating System

So I wrote a little script which will create a particle-driven explosion of any size in any position of any level, which I can assure you I will make excellent use of ;).

---

The update has not been uploaded yet, nor will it be too soon, I'll probably have the update available within the next day or so.

In the meantime, you can expect screenshots and (maybe) videos to hit your interweb.

Enjoy!

EDIT: SCREENSHOTS AVAILABLE:

Here we have the sewers, and our first shot of the Shark Zombie:

And here we have a perfectly safe and tidy road:

I was going to wait to comment until a released version popped up, but the video was nice.
Would like to see more on the sharks though.

I think he means there was not enough shark zombies.

Ah I see ;P.

I think I showed enough (Obviously I didn't go into as much detail about them as I could have), but you'll be able to see what they're capable of fairly soon.

Infact, I'll try and have the update on the site within a few hours (I'll post to let you know).

EDIT: The Update that some have been waiting for...

Latest Version

To Do:

~ Fix Overskill Meter

See the bar which keeps looping? It's currently broken but I tested it in the earlier weapon testing level, basically, when you get a certain amount of kills/headshots, a spree of all different kinds of zombies will spawn.

~ Tidy up the menu.

You will notice an incredibly bland/messy/crappy menu, which looks similar to how it always has, I plan to make it look nicer at some point.

~ Add Anti-Zombie Triggers to the current 3 levels.

You may remember the Trigger Gun, you currently have no use for it :).

~ Add Milestone Events for levels 1 and 2.

This was a last minute thing I added yesterday, using the PDEG I created an explosion set to occur roughly at the time of the Shark Zombie's spawn enable time (which is 3 minutes in to the level), the milestone events are basically some kind of explosion or wreckage which cause the final Zombies to start spawning, you'll notice this happen in level 3.

I also need to add a screen shaking script for the explosions.

~ Properly adjust and decide on which weapons are unlocked at what stage.

You get to try out some different weapons in this update, you start out with 2 guns (1 useless) and a choice of either a pipe or an axe, but as you level up you'll find more weapons for use, I need to decide on which ones are unlocked at what stage, so that you don't end up with a giant lazer cannon on level 2.

~ More Details to the Current Levels and More Levels

Some may know that Level 4 will be set in a Hospital, from there it will go in to the streets, right now I have Unit 1's Boat, a Barricaded Radio Station, and a Sewer.

Also, you'll notice that the Sewer is the only level with any true detail (and even then, it's not alot), so I must add on to that and continue to work on the other levels.

I'm sure some people were actually waiting for the game before commenting on the video, so what's the excuse now? :p

Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
