New Enemy Update


Hey everyoHey everyone,

Got a fun little update for you today. I haven’t been posting devlogs as I go, but I’m hoping to start turning that around starting now.

As of late, we’ve been working hard on adding polish, and variety to Ground Floor Z. The polish, has come largely in the form of visual upgrades by the wonderful WildBearArt, and musical upgrades by the fantastic Emma_MA. I can’t thank these two enough for all the work they’ve put into the game.

On the programming side, I’ve tracked down several memory leaks in the game that would lead to severe slowdown after multiple plays. Hopefully this will lead to things running faster, and more reliably. We’ve made changes to bite detection, and are now pursuing the projectile skipping bug.

The newest gameplay content added to the game, comes in the form of new enemies. Depending on when you last checked out the game, you will now find 1 to 2 more enemies. The first being the tough zombie that takes two hits to take down. The second is an explosive zombie, that can be shot again after being fatally wounded, to deal damage in an area to both guests, and zombies.

With all these changes to the game, it was time to reset the score table. Let’s see who can claim the top spot with all the new tweaks we have made.

That’s it now. Thank you for joining us on our journey to launch. Hopefully you will enjoy the changes we have made.

See you on the scoreboards.

Oh, and if you want to watch this game de developed live, be sure to follow me on Twitch.

We are under attack!

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🔖🔖🔖

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

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)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

Made my first ever animation.

We're knee deep in multiple large features and "game feel". Quick peek behind the scenes in this weeks Dev Blog: https://bit.ly/2QmmaQM

A sneak peek at the new OST, can you guess what this song will be used for? 🤔
