Dead Drift

New power being developed: Grenades!

Every X seconds, the car will toss a grenade into the air, exploding when it hits the ground and hitting all zombies inside a radius!

Some notes on the gifs above:

  • The explosion art is still a placeholder flat circle. I intend to do a proper explosion sprite in the future. I'm gonna resort to more WIP art in the next updates, so I can focus on developing the new powers.

  • The dead zombies scattered on the second gif are one of the frames from the "crawling" animation I showed before. I'm testing Construct's performance to see if I can leave the zombies dead on the ground, and, if so, how many of them. Looks cool, but I don't know if I'll be able to have this much objects. We'll see!

  • I'm using a hack so I don't die in order to record the grenade power, in case anyone's wondering why I don't die.

HI! I'm getting close to hitting 1000 FOLLOWERS (woohooo!) and I'm thinking about doing some special things to celebrate this:

- A Fireside where we can play a drawing game together!

- A mini-game using the sock puppets!

What do you think of that?

NEW UI PLANNING!

Since the beginning of this project, I've done its UI in a somewhat haphazard way. Now it's time to get some things right, so I'm planning to fix some things about its user interface.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

It's coming, folks!!! Anyone else excited???

Posting some other DEAD DRIFT EXPERIMENT GIFS. You can see "enemy trucks" (the dark rectangle thingies roving around) AND big zombies (they have 10x the HP of a regular zombie!!)
