It is looking pretty sweet! You can never have too many zombie games..hehe

Zombox now features building construction!

Players can now create their own fortifications for fending off the zombie attacks.

Also, I'm working on implementing a crafting system, so players can use debris found throughout the world to construct the objects necessary to create walls and doorways.

More updates to Zombox this week!

New weapons can be crafted, building supplies can be gathered from fallen debris, the construction tool has been updated with repair/destroy models, and new particle effects have been added.

This looks amazing man! Only issue I might have with it is it looks alittle easy. consider your youtube channel followed

Thanks scribblepit,

In all of these videos I have god-mode turned on, many rare items enabled and other boosters that allow me to show off features of the game that would be difficult to see otherwise.

The game is actually very difficult. Zombies do a lot of damage and are hard to escape, it's difficult to find good items, and if you die you face permadeath. Of course, it won't be frustratingly hard, but it will certainly be a challenge!

This week's Zombox update:

- more craftable items! Pipe bombs, molotovs, crossbows with explosive and flammable projectiles, and more!

Here's a .gif showing the molotov in action.

- now you can barricade doorways! Barricading a door gives it some extra HP, which makes it harder for zombies to knock it down. Here's a .gif showing the player barricading some doors.

- a new food system requires the player to eat at regular intervals, to prevent starvation. Here's what the food notification icon looks like (top right corner):

New updates to Zombox this week!

The world now features an elaborate, underground sewer system that you can explore by entering/exiting various manholes throughout the city. The sewer system features shops, medic stations, etc, and will eventually be filled with NPCs -- the remaining survivors of the apocalypse -- who you'll be able to interact with.

Here's the overall layout of the 3 main sewers (the largest one is still a work-in-progress):



Here's a .gif showing the player entering a sewer, looking around a bit, and then exiting:

This week's addition to Zombox: NPCs!



NPCs can work with you, or attack you, depending on how you treat them.

Here's a more in-depth description of all the new NPC features.

I like the look of your game. But please remember that this forum is actually a forum, not a blog?

I respond to the comments people leave, and post updates on the game for feedback, as per the title of this subforum.

If I'm breaking any rules here, let me know.

[Applewood]

I'm not a mod, just a miserable git.

I think the intention here is to ask for feedback when a game is near or actually finished, not each time a minor feature gets added. Otherwise it'd drown in seconds.

it's all in the same thread, doesn't seem like a problem to me. the game itself looks very interesting.

It's true that it's not forbidden, but I did stop paying attention to this thread because of the blog aspect. IMO it's better to do rarer but more fleshed up updates.
