Download:
Zombie 0.1.6.2
Requirements
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

NOTE:
If Zombie_Launcher doesn't work for you either install the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2008 Redistributable Package or you can Run Zombie.exe but the game will run with out effects and on its lowest resolution.


Description:
So the basis of my game is a town full of zombies. I know its been done before. I think the only difference is you will be the zombie running around turning others into zombie and since your the first zombie you haven't lost your MIND! Civilians will run away from you and some may even use weapons like axes and baseball bats to try and beat you down. I guess the only thing you can do when a civilian with an axe is chasing you is to lead him into a group of your zombie brethren.

0.1.4.6

0.1.4.2





Below is a image of the Zombie Launcher program you use to set the game options and to start the game.



So far I have some simple AI, a non detailed map and some place holders for AI, The Player and the Way Points so please give me your c&c.


Updates:

0.1.3.6
- Updated Character Models(They are still bad)
- Hud updated with Zombie Counters and zombie health
- Can now attack zombie by left clicking(There is no animation yet health goes down.
- Updated AI
- Map textures Updated

0.1.4.5
- New Dynamic clouds added
- Updated AI pathfinding
- Map updated
- Decal system added
- AI spwan location removed
- VSync added
- Anti Aliasing added

0.1.6.2
- New Upgrade system. (Go into sewers)
- Map Updates
- Icons Removes from AI


CONTROLS
WASD - Move
T - Add AI
E - Talk to Scientist in sewers
Shift - Run
Left Click - Attack

Help Needed:
If anyone would like to help by making low poly models of the civilians or zombies that would be very helpful, i can animate them just not a good humanoid modeler give me an email at hookkshot@hotmial.com if you are interested.

OK I have put in a few more lines of code to check if you can run 32bit display or not if not it runs at 16bit.

Also in the original zip file there is a file in images named splash_ please rename to just splash.png

Here is a concept drawing of what i want the main zombie character to look like. I haven't quite captured whats in my mind but it will get there.



If there is anyone willing to model the humanoid characters that would be really good. (I can texture and animate them.)

Here is a weapon from one of those crazy civilians.

I wonder if he can hit you with it.



Also working on next release which will include you being able to attack the enemy. (unfortunately with out animation but at least all the code will be there.)

Did you get the game working NeX. it should only be the launcher that fails with the plug in.

And can you post your system specs

Tried it, it complained that I hadn't run the launcher first.

Just went and grabbed the latest version.



On the fourth attempt it launched. Seems to have problems with multi-monitor layouts. The mouse kept escaping to the other screen. On the upside it ran quite smoothly.

Hopefully this will add to the mood of the game.

Judging from what I can see in the picture of the wall with a hole in it, shouldnt the pieces be larger, or there be more of them, due to the thickness of the wall?

well if you could add clothing that would be great. for this game im going to need a female human and zombie mesh, and male human and zombie mesh so all up thats 4.

The differences between the human and zombie u wont need to ameka whole new mesh though just like remove a hand take off hair ripped clothing
alot of it could be done on the texture.

So now that im thinking of it. Clothing would definately be good.

Hey guys I've been hard at work on this so here is the newest release.

The newest version is 0.1.6.2 Please go into the sewers to talk to the Mad Scientist.

Also if people can do a stress test by adding lots of AI then letting me know how it ran that would be good.
