Next Update Preview


So it would seem as though I have some sort of odd habit where I make an update, then I disappear for a few months, then I re-appear to make an update, and rinse-and-repeat.

Either way, an update! Here, have some screens!

So, as you can see in these screens, I’m too lazy to crop out the window title. In actuality, it’s that the game has gotten a bit of a makeover visually. However, there’s some behind the scenes changes not visible here, so I’ll detail them!

Upcoming Changes:

  • Added a day counter! It increments up every 24 minutes!

  • Changed saving to use a file… file, instead of an .ini file.

  • Doesn’t matter to you, but I went through the code in the main game portion, and cleaned it up by commenting code and putting them into groups.

  • Adding onto the above, I renamed some objects so that I know what things are. Helps out a lot!

  • Fixed the game’s title being “SuriveZombies” instead of the better sounding “SurviveZombies.” If you liked it how it was before, sorry. Looks better.

  • Changed how survivors work; Instead of getting 1-5 survivors each check randomly, you get 1-3, and you can now only have a maximum of 10 survivors. Should make the game harder.

  • A visual makeover. Been a long time coming. This will basically make things looks nicer, and the wooden panels are part of the background, instead of just randomly existing on top of the background.

  • An options menu on the title screen. Currently, the only option is for how big you want your screen to be (Normal Size, 1.5x Size, 2x Size, 3x Size, etc.)

  • Changed the perspective object to be more centered in the screen, making the faux 3D look a lot nicer.

So far, those are all the changes coming in the update. I’ll probably have more. Or not! Hey, it hasn’t even come out yet!

SomeGameDeveloper, signing off!

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

"Our work is never over" they said.

What you all think

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.

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

I thought I would do a quick show and tell, with a 2 min video of the start of the game and some of the game elements, after many many months it is really starting to come together, time to start networking https://gamejolt.com/games/Dungeon_fable/490669

Sometimes Aeron needs a friend to help him out in tight situations.
