Well well well...

Happy enough with this screen, maybe do some tweaks, but here is a small bathroom in a pub!
An improvement that I need to make is to let doors have different sprites as opposed to just the "regular" sprite used here at the moment :)

Plans

I plan on making a shiny looking walk through video of all the current working features in the game this weekend. Just as a sort of milestone and then I will probably remove all the billion development videos off youtube since it's just getting all over the place when a new video is added for small features and stick to screen shots on here and major videos every so often.

I am also resurrecting my old Toshiba m200 tablet pc for working on the graphics, hopefully it will be easier using a stylus rather then drawing it all on here. ps the graphics will still suck.

Working Features

This is by no means a definitive list as I have not really done much documentation until now. But should serve as a nice list and perhaps might inspire me to make a mini tech demo of all the stuff that is working so far :o

• Basic Enemies
• Initial code for NPCS
• Weather Broken due to the new levels not being based on 40x40 tiles
• doors
• on the 2d plane and allowing movement in the z axis too
• "Dark areas" 
• ladders!
• Permanence, corpses and blood spatter are saved between gaming sessions
• this will include player corpses too if one should die
• Level editor.
• Multi layers to levels, ie foreground
• Zombies are made up from random "parts" so that when created, each zombie will be made up of different head / body / legs and will make it look better then just a few different sprites for a zombie since they seem to be the focus of the game so far.

Coming soon, a list of things I want to implement / improve soon.

Door Sprites

Not yet made it to a video yet, but there are now sprites instead of rectangles for the doors.

Huzzah, a blog!

I have been working on this game on and off for a month or so now, and I thought I would get around to making a blog to write down thoughts and a place to dump videos or screen shots related to development!
There is a playlist of videos on youtube that has all current videos on here:
