Alive Again 0.2.0 (still not playable)

Alive Again - a Zombie Roguelike

10 years ago

I just released version 0.2.0 of Alive Again. While this release is still not playable, it should give a slightly better feel for what’s to come.

Highlights:

codebase updated to Love 0.9.2
a map (and collisions)
the map is larger than the screen, so while the player moves around, it scrolls as needed (man, was this a complicated thing to write or what!)
a text console, which follows the game events
a map implementation as text (this is internal code stuff, but this means it will be easier for me to make maps)

You can get the new version from GameJolt, or from the game’s project site on Launchpad. You will need the Love engine installed in order to run it (as per the instructions on the game page).

Fun stats: the code is now 14,3 kB, and the game takes ~60MB of RAM while running.

Now I need to go a little back to drafting, so I know what I should put into 0.3.0. As history showed, I’m no good with deadlines, so I won’t give any ETA for the next version, I just hope I’ll manage to make it faster than this one. Just stay tuned ;-).

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.

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.
