[Homebrew Idol 2] Zombie Desert

[MK2k]

From the concept art animation this one looks absolutely wicked. Keep up the work and don't give up!

Calv!n, wtf are you doing sleeping. Gtfu and COAD.

I really want to play this

I beleive he now has the rest of the art and the menu for difficulty setting. So he just has to do collision and guns next, and it'll be playable! Go speed racer go!

[Calv!n]

Hey, thanks for the support guys!

Today the following should be complete:
-background
-sprites + animation
-movement
-sprite-world collision

That will leave me with just doing the shooting and then adding in minor gameplay tweaks such as health, ammo, lives, etc. I'll also need to add in a splash screen and menu, but that should be too hard.

I have some new art as well.

shotgun in yo face! I also got some new tiles and stuff, so I'm adding those in as well.

I will continue to keep you guys posted and I will upload and post a new working revision so that you guys can test some stuff and let me know of any issues. Thanks!

The complete game has not been uploaded. I am currently bug fixing and implementing more game play during the 3 days of debugging!

TODO LIST:
1) get the rest of the art (can't get in touch with graphics artist)
2) fix collision/hit detection
3) implement shooting for the rest of the guns (shotgun, machine gun, etc.)
4) add UI for main menu and level select

Once I have obtained the rest of the art and tiles from the graphics artist I will release a public beta of the level editor so you guys can make some maps. I will a couple of the best maps that you guys can make and include them in the official release.

*back to programming!!!*

you actually got 5 days... so another few days now

Official voting begins June 13th and will be open to you, the reader. At that point all entries will be available to download from this here front page. Voting ends June 15th and stay tuned when we announce the Homebrew Idol 2 winner on the 16th. If you care to get an early start — visit the Development Forum.

Calv!n, add an online component and it can be like L4D on the PSP

With random hordes coming at yah and shizz, and having to dodge them with friends.

I agree - very awesome! Nice work.

[Calv!n]

quick update for yall!

* all sprite animation and movement now time based (still waiting on a few sprites from artist)
* sky background added (still waiting on canyons from artist)
* movement implemented

I'll probably stay up a bit longer and finish doing the map collision & jumping. Once that is finished I'll start chucking in zombies everywhere and work on making our hero blast the crap out of em!

Enjoy some fresh new screens:

[ Zombie walking around out in the open ]


[ Zombie walking behind a cactus (result from 2.5D effect w00t!) ]


More updates to come soon folks!

EDIT: I'm going to have to chunk up that background into multiple smaller sprites. Its killing the FPS to render that big boi!
