Here's some demo footage of the game I'm working on. It uses 3D geometry but nicks the 2D sprites from the original game. For now I'm currently working on a smaller demo-like version of the game called 'Survival Edition' where your goal is to basically survive as more and more zombies come at you.

The game will be released with a built in level editor, everything you see in this video was made using it. It's quite easy to use, kind of like Crysis where you place everything wherever you want and instantly spawn in. Difficulty is auto-adjusted based on three things: rate at which zombies spawn, from how far away the zombies give chase and how many zombies are allowed to be spawned at any one time. You can see an even older video of the level editor here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6c07vCmPnNg

I might work on a more fleshed out game with the classic gameplay mode and more weapons but that's subject to the feedback I get for this one. Also making games for free doesn't pay for my college books (sadly) and quitting work to do it doesn't help either =(

Just a note that on my website you can see some 3D models of the zombies, they're not going to be used in this game due to technical reasons (not limitations, just reasons).

Coming along nicely and something a bit different here for a change - cool!

haha cheers It was actually some problems with the 3D models that got me doing them like this.


I'm actually kind of freaking out now, I submitted the video to gametrailers and as of last count it has scored 9000+ hits and its barely been up for a day: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/u...ylist=featured


The curse of expectations...


I was thinking of charging for it but I'm worried about copyright violations haha. I was just wondering if it would be something anyone would pay money to play.

If you want to sell it later then yes you will probably have to change the name, but if it were me I'd see how you get with it as it is for now.

And change the artwork as well if you are using ripped graphics. In the eyes of the law there's no difference between this and pirating games. The joy of copyright!
