omg hiii!! hi ^^ :33 hi :3.
We’re back with a new —highly anticipated— devlog!!
This time, we’re bringing you many exciting additions designed with love, care, and the sole purpose of making you suffer.

Gameplay:

• Players now have HP! You know what it means when there’s an HP bar? That’s right — you can die now!! If a zombie hits you 5 times, you’ll explode (quite literally).
• Zombies drop coins! Every time you or one of your friends kills a zombie, it drops coins on the floor. After about 2 seconds, the coin is automatically added to each player's total. Capitalism wins again.

Visuals:

• New splash screen: When you launch the game, you'll be greeted with the logo of the (arguably) best video game studio in the world.
• Damage feedback: We added a little “animation” (?) when you or a zombie takes damage — the sprite flashes red. It works well on players, but on the green zombie’s sprite it just turns them brown.
• Coin counter: There’s now a shiny counter in the top-right corner tracking your sweet, sweet money.
• Zombies explode: Just like you, zombies now explode when they die. Very fair. Very dramatic.

Pending:

• We (and by “we” I mean worrycat) are currently working on the horde system. If everything goes well, we’ll have a playable version of Zombielia ready for the second Milestone, roughly 2 weeks from now. Fingers crossed.
• Spectator mode: Currently, when a player dies, their camera just... freezes mid-map. It’s not a bug, it’s a minimalist feature. In the next milestone, you’ll be able to spectate your surviving teammates.
• Game over screen: Right now, if every player dies, absolutely nothing happens. We’re planning to add a proper defeat screen so you can retry or quit the game.
• Zombie damage is still in progress: As of now, the only way to take damage is by getting really, like reaaaally close to the walls. In the next update, zombies will be able to break in and maul you, as nature intended.
• Some surprises >:) (Dramatic music)

That's all for now! Also — it’s week 8 of the semester, which means we’re officially halfway through the development of Zombielia!! Stay tuned for the second Milestone — same zombie time, same zombie channel.
