Game development is under way!


NEW DEVLOG EACH FRIDAY!

Greetings,

for last few months, I’ve been working hard on Spread the Dead, my first unique blend of RTS and action platformer merged in one awesome game!

To sum up all features, the game is based around zombie units that player must use to complete a level. Each level consists of unique enemies, scenery and objective.

Since the first alpha build back in late 2014, I’ve changed and added lots of features and some of them are:

  • reworked HUD, freeing up rest of screen where all the action is going on. At beginning of each level, player must choose 5 different units (out of 15). This allows the player to create his own play-style

  • reworked lightning and particle system, allowing for pretty explosions and effects!

  • entirely ported to latest Game Maker: Studio version with ramped up performance and nearly non-existent loading times

  • QoL (quality of life) improvements, such as respawn system for player, detailed information for each zombie and upgrades as well as tips to quickly familiarize the player with the game

I would rather not go into details with upcoming features, but rather present them when they are implemented into the game and fully tested.

To sum this post up, here are some snapshots of the most recent zombie unit I finished:

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

Protege el conocimiento, salva la historia. Guardian of Lore es un platformer 2D en el que debes luchar para mantener viva la memoria de la mitología latinoamericana. El juego llegará a Steam el 18 de mayo: https://steam.pm/app/1211740 #ScreenshotSaturday

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Made my first ever animation.

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!

What Are You Doing In My Swamp!?

Now spruce forest monsters can vomit forest shields, but Brutal Castle will not stop!

Added an exit portal to the maze SRP project. It has a simple effect using scrolling UV's and particles.
