oh those are actually parking meters with stainless steal heads :D
Ill make the reflections cleaner on those.

wow, that looks quite amazing.
One thing that did stand out to me though, was that those parking metres have really wide shadows. Unless I'm missing something, shouldn't the shadows be long and thin?

does project died?

Making a good project like this takes time my friend.. Wait and see...

But he dont update anything..

no the project has not died. ive been quiet about a small suprise within the next week or so. also new freshly baked batch of screenshots soon. :-) take care

... But if you bake the screenshots they'll be burned and fall apart...

... Just like zombies!

Oh I see what you did there!

Good one sir!

I think that surprise is A DEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOO!

new screenshots and gameplay videos as well as new animation test will be posted this saturday. :)

due to a death in my family the update is pushed back to sunday. im typing from my phone i dont have time to get on my computer. sunday i will post screenshots of the upcoming trial version's story mode displaying new features, indoor areas, weapons, and a video of the new particle system effects. sorry to keep pushing it back. the demo will feature 2 diffrent modes. 1 is a small portion of the gameplay for the story mode. The other is the "special operations mode" which is you choose a class of set weapons featuring a primary and secondary weapon and you must eliminate all the zombies on a map from the real game. while the story mode has a more survival feel, this mode will give you more ammo and there will be much more zombies as and zombies will be in places that arent in the normal game. the classes are preset. like ifyou select the soldier class its an m16 and a beretta m9. theres many diffrent classes to choose and some classes have all new weapons hat i just added. there is also a commando class, which is only a handgun and knife if you lik it difficult. zombie ai has been tweaked. they have small random patterns of a short sprint to make them unpredictable. they csn also follow you and break through doors from other maps. headshotsystem has been tweaked, adding a new varible to the equasion: weapon recoil. the gore is better than ever with all new particle effects, and blood splatter animations. blood now splashes on the screen too. stay tuned til sunday where i wil show ou ll m hard work. the demoha highreplayabilityand is expected to keep you playing. there is so many details little things you can do, as well as a ton of secrets. prepare for the ultimate zombie survival game unlke anthing you've ever seen/played for an rpg maker game.

videos and new weapon pics will be released sunday, heres a few pictures from the beta.

I wanted to post test interior shots to take a break from the city screenshots. This is the first safehouse which takes place in a large hotel.
Some of the interior graphics are placeholders/test.




The weapon class select menu for the "special operations" mode. (not for story mode)


In the demo you find 2 handguns and whichever one you choose your partner gets the other one.The higher the stats are, the better the weapon is.
The glock 17 has a higher magazine cap but shoots slower. the M9 has a lower magazine capacity, but higher rate of fire and faster reloads. the in real game you dont get a gun till later on, but i want the demo to have it to be able to have fun


Left 4 Dead 2 type healing system. when you have a first aid kit you can heal yourself or your partner. you can only hold one at a time. there will have a healing character animation, and he will hold it on his back visable


Main lobby screenshot. I already know about the candle/table glitch. ignore it.


The workable television with workable diffrent channels back at the safe house. diffrent news reports will display each day to help you learn more about the story.





Just a picture before the main hall.

Blood splatter test.

Cant wait men looks impresive.

Edit:
Does tv animated? Or we just see the pictures?

More screenshots taken from the upcoming release. This time showcasing new zombies, new weapons, and lighting effects.

New weapons added: FAMAS, Mossberg 500 chrome shotgun.
New features added: Custom Game Camera, Horde control, Pixel Movement, Custom Anti-lag.

Screens





The next two pictures are only lighting test. The maps are still being added too thats why they're so plain.

looks impresive.Whats wrong with road texture?

If youre refering to the last 2 pictures. the map is not complete. like a said the last 2 pictures are "only lighting test." which means that the maps graphics is not complete. its not fully fixed up.



all these viewers and not anyone have any comments?

More screens from the demo coming up.

The first area with not that many zombies to get used to your controls.
Notice the new weapon the MP5SD.
also notice the new hud how it has an "A" on it that just means the weapon cycle is on the primary. if you press "W" (or Y on my 360 controller) which is switch weapons, it cycles through B,C, then D.
B is secondary (for handguns) C is for support (shotguns and sniper rifles and heavy machine guns)
The SMG now take up slot 1 because I didnt want to give up my pistol because players would choose the SMG over the handgun everytime. The SMGs have bad assed stats already.




this next one the zombies come from everywhere around you. they chased me into alley ways where I took out my hunting rifle and popped their heads one by one. :D and then they chased me down the street. pulling out a sidearm is always faster than reloading. My MP5 magazine was empty right as they where settling in so I switched to the USP45. the weapons in this game are pretty powerful.




Heres where I took out my MOSSBERG 500 Chrome Shotgun and killed most of the group. Check out the new blood effects

(I know about the zombie going through the bench. its just a small passability i didnt add yet. ignore it please)



This next one is where you first get attracted by a horde. this map has alot of alleyways and and other points all around it. So when the horde comes wherever you are they literally surround you. The zombies all together speed has been fastened. zombies have a random sprint of fastness. the hordes are all fast though. the amount of zombies on the screenshot is nothing compared to what you play. you are really going to be surprised. The P90 chews up ammo quickly but thats fine they are ammo stashes in correct places.

(zombie variation on this map will be fixed)



Oh and Im finishing up the achievements for the demo. Get all the achievements and you unlock the special additional gameplay map plus a new weapon for the both gameplay modes.

thank you.
update:
11 more days untill the beta is released openly.

the beta will have quite a bit to keep you busy.
90% of the buildings can be entered, each interior has its own chipset so every place has its own visuals. Tons of new melee weapons added, even some ridiculous ones. Now that theres this big city and highway to the country roads map with enterable buildings with things you can use inside it's really amping up the survival aspect of the game. The beta will also have battle mode featuring "Wilted Warehouse" which is a nazi zombies type level. What I mean is you start out with only your first and each zombie you kill gives you points. headshots are worth 40, regular kills worth 20. There are weapons you can buy with points on the wall. its very difficult to survive. It's been tweaked to make it much harder than the regular game. theres also classes you can pick at the beggining of the main game to suit your gameplay style. I know you guys will love it when you play it. heres the classes for the beta.






this game will blow your mind there is so much years of detail put into the system. stay tuned. when it hits the 7 day mark i will be releasing much new info about the full game and the beta.

Sounds pretty good, but I've got to say that now where it all comes to an end it doesn't satisfy me any-more :P I want to play the real thing! It sounds like a real quality indie game, it certainly seems to stand out of the mass of most RMXP games.

Looking forward to the release, and I hope you'll find all bugs till the release if there are any, RMXP updating is just so annoying.

Any news on this at all???

Yeah, I'm just polishing up the demo. Its coming soon just have a few small things to do. Working on another survival level as well. I'm so excited for the release coming I want all of you to play it so bad. I know it's late, but trust me it's for the best. It's general polishing as well as a few small add ons to make the game more dynamic and enjoyable.

stick to these forum for updates this week

Awesome sauce, I seriously feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve. This game looks off the hook, and with the amount of features you've managed to pack into it? I'd say this is probably one of the more diverse survival horror games out there. Thanks for not abandoning the project too!

This game has gone through so much it would be such a waste, years of work and learning, to just let go abandoned. It's the zombie game I always wanted to play I'd be so disappointed in myself if other people didn't get to play this game. I'm so proud of the way it's coming out. To me it surpassed my expectations. The systems details make it feel like an xbox360 console game. No video or screenshots can correctly show off how much fun your going to have. Demo is coming dont worry.

What date demo will be released?

when i'm satisfied with it xD
it wont be long now don't worry.

Dude, some of us have been waiting FOREVER for this. I practically cream my pants every time you post an update. I've been patient; you've said the demo would be soon in the past; PLEASE GIVE US SOMETHING.

thank you for the kind words. trust me i want you all to play this it excites me that i'm so close to the release. I just want everything to be perfect. quality in my project is my main priority. rushes decay quality. to keep you updated though the last things to do before the release are small

-polish a certain behavior in the enemy ai (very minor)
-create 2 more cosmetic fogs for 2 of the maps without it (minor)
-few minor priority fixes for tiles on a certain map
-small polish in the enemy respawn system.
-small title screen polish

after those things are complete ill be ready for the release. its all small things that i already know how to fix.

stay tuned

Why do I have an inkling the release date might be October 31st for the Demo? >.>;;;

Lol, your intuition is wrong. I assure you not to worry. I take all my art projects very seriously. When it's released you will appriciate the polishing and effort to make it better and better.
