Update!
Hey everyone, it’s been a while since the last update….so here it is!
There are 5 playable characters now….each one with unique stats and abilities. (Click each of the names below to view the characters)
There is also an on-screen map that has been added, and each character’s special ability has an icon that appears in the GUI to activate it.
There are many more things I still have to take care of, when it comes to the core gameplay, but I should be able to get those done in the coming weeks….which means then I can move onto the quests/storyline and eventually get this thing released!
Hey Tyson! Amazing update! I was suprised! π
The only thing i dislike is some of the abilities, like roy has less shop prices, however he cant use weapons like a rifle or a shot gun.
It looks amazing! But maybe but in the original charater you used for previous updates? I know he looks like roy, but for the original maybe he doesnt have any special abilities, and people charge more? Because i want to be roy, but he cant use a rife,shotty , Pete is fine but it cost 20% more and i prefer a diff look, and randy would get attacked more. Yes ik there are female charaters but the nurse can’t use firearms…so maybe implement the original guy? Thanks for reading π
What about Mary Beth he’s just slow and has more hp that’s probaly the one I’ll use
ALSO, i know you said you want to move onto story line, but maybe release if before hand with the survival aspect then add storyline with a free update? I know this is probably a no, but everyone is super excited for this and i’ve talked to some of them and i mean think about it, release a lot of people will buy it expecially for the survival, then when you do add story even more will buy it! Plus i think this game will be on the Featured section of the appstore π
@ Ryan:
Hey Ryan,
Remember….you can change the clothes of any character, and the outfits of these characters are all swappable. So you can make any character look however you want. Another thing I plan to eventually implement is the ability to “stash” items that will be accessible between characters…and possibly the ability to swap which character you’re playing with.
So overall, you’ll be able to create the ‘original guy’ character that you want, with a little searching (to find the right clothes — or just use Roy’s) and ingenuity!
As for storyline….it’s not a big storyline. It’s just enough to make sure there is one…so it’s not going to be a huge process to implement it. Also, it will be tied into the procedural quest system, which isn’t something I don’t want to exclude from the initial release.
This is all too amazing!
Any chance for an Android release?
This is really amazing! What you planning to make the story mode based like?
@ George:
I’m hoping to release on Android if the iOS version does well!
@ GoobeR:
I’m going to try reaalllly hard to make the story mode very open. I want there to be many different paths you can take that will lead to many different encounters and events that occur which will affect the story.
Obviously such a system would be very complicated to design, but I’m planning on having it work similar to the way my dialog-tree system works.
It’s still in a conceptual phase…I’ll be updating this blog with lots of progress as I go along, though!
@ Tyson Ibele:
There’s no doubt that it will do more than well!
If you do get around to porting Zombox to Android will you support the Xperia Play’s gamepad?
When you add story mode what will happen when we beat it? Does the game start over or can we still play? Or maybe something special like a machine gun with unlimited ammo(If so make it a Tommy Gun)?
If we beat the story mode it should give us something special:) plus maybe tons of side missions?
@ George:
I have no idea to be honest….had heard of that until you mentioned it just now.
@ GoobeR:
I haven’t thought that far ahead yet π Not sure what the ‘end game’ scenario will be….
Are you constantly going to be fighting? except when talking to npc’s, of course. I mean, is killing the zombies the aim of the game? sorry if that’s a noobish question, just curious.
@ Wack3jo:
Not necessarily….the zombies will come and go in hordes, and there are “safe areas” you can travel to (for example, some sewers are safe zones where you can meet other NPCs, place bets to earn money, get quests, etc).
Any chance of buying a gun with unlimited ammo? (costing ALOT of money)
How many side missions are there?
@ GoobeR:
I don’t know I haven’t started making them yet.
How many you planning too make?
If you pick one character how do you use the others? Do you need to restart all over or will you be able to have up too 3 saved games?
It would be cool if you coud have special items to have in place for Roys missing hand, like a hook, an integrated gun or even beter a self made robotic hand.
Hey tyson! I was thinking here, this would obviously be further down the way of the games release but i have a idea, with Online mutilplayer if it were to happen maybe you could make it so multiplayer lobbys would be avalible where you could Voice chat or type to eachother or take it PvP and battle it out, so it would be player vs player and zombies to increase the fight. I think this would be awesome π
If the game does exeptcionally well, do you think it might come to the xbox arcade?
Also all the characters seem a little off putting skill wise. There should be a character with no real pluses, but no real minuses, but im loving what u have done.
Will this be on iPad?
@ Chris:
Each character has its strength and weaknesses…they’re meant to be sort of a rag-tag team of survivors who have all been through hell, rather than just generic humans.
As for iPad…that’s the plan!
Iv been watching some of your videos on YouTube recently, and I must say I’m impressed by what you have done so far. If you wouldn’t mind me asking a few questions, I was just wandering will it be out by the end of this month and will if support the iPod touch 4
I also wanted to know could you just bunker down in a house, gather food and supplies and not worry about the story.
@ Laytick:
It definitely won’t be out by the end of the month.
It should work on the iPod touch 4, yes.
As for story….following it is optional. It’s a sandbox game so technically you can do whatever you like. However, certain areas of the city will only be ‘unlocked’ by doing main quests.
I’m thinking August, what are your thoughts Tyson
I’m thinking when it’s ready π
I see that you can Destory building with cars and I was wounding can you repaire it? Also when you Destory a building will it be fixed when you exit out of app?
Plus can you manually save it?
@ GoobeR:
You can repair anything in the world that is broken, so long as you have the Construction Mallet and enough money to do so.
Eventually you’ll be able to save, and the damage you do to the world will be saved with your game.
Thanks! This game is really looking SWEET!
How much memory does this game take up soo far and what does the logo look like?
TouchΓ© my friend
He probably hasn’t given two shits about the logo yet and he is still working on the main story and side missions
So he doesnt know exactly how much space it takes up.
The logo might be his twitter photo?
Looks really cool π
This looks amazing!
Looking awesome! Take your time though, just release it when you think it is ready, don’t tell anybody dates.
This looks amazing man! =D and make sure you take your time
so the game looks awesome!
waypoints would be nice π
Appreciation to my father who stated to me regarding this
weblog, this webpage is truly amazing.
I believe everything typed was actually very logical.
However, consider this, suppose you were to write a killer headline?
I ain’t suggesting your information isn’t good, however what if you added a post title that makes people desire more?
I mean Zombox
Erectile dysfunction can occur suddenly or gradually. Some men slowly lose the firmness of their
erections or how long the erections last. In other men, especially those whose impotence is largely caused by psychological factors,
the problem may occur unpredictably and can improve at any time.
Despite their difficulties with erections, men with impotence often continue to have normal orgasm and ejaculation.
