Devlog #4: The Zombies Are Talking


Hello everyone! How are you all doing on this peaceful Sunday afternoon? Here is the fourth instalment of your favorite academically-obligated and caffeine-fueled update of your favorite upcoming videogame! Here are the new additions of the last three weeks. They are a lot!

Gameplay

  • Waves: the action is now organized in "waves". Which is to say, you will have to survive for a set amount of time (indicated by the timer below your health bar). Once it is over, you will be able to buy upgrades and start the next wave.
  • Actual danger: zombies, which are supposed to be dangerous and scary, now when approaching the "room" will try to break in, symbolized by the red circle. When the circle is full, they will get in and chase the players!
  • Store: with the coins that the players have obtained by killing zombies you can now acquire a diverse assortment of goodies! For now, these include upgrades for your main stats, like damage dealt by your bullets, HP regeneration and speed. 

Intense gameplay (not for the faint of heart) showcasing most of the new additions

Visuals

  • Players: thanks to the effort of Sulkyy (and utter disrespect for his sleep schedule) there are now three player characters to choose from: a raccoon, a red panda and a cat. Each of them includes a new and colorful sprite, including walk and idle animation.
  • Zombies: along with the furry zombie survivors, zombies also now have a new sprite, with a cool walk animation.
  • UI: new and old gameplay elements are now shown in screen with new graphics, which includes: coins, the health bar now shows your face, and the wave timer is conveniently shown below it.

Sound

  • Nothing yet!

God bless the exchange of currency for goods and services

And for the upcoming development, here is what he have planned for the near future:

  • Additions for new upgrades and objects for the shop. 
  • Update the scenario. We know it looks blue and cramped!
  • A cooldown for the weapons, so you don't have to break your index finger to shoot faster.
