City fly-through…

Here’s a fly-through of a city generated with the new procedural generation system. Previous posts showed what maps look like from above…this video gives you a glimpse of what those maps look like once they’re converted into in-game geometry.

All the models and textures you see here come straight from the game, and this is exactly the type of map that you’ll be able to play in. The total area of this map is about 1.25 km square. Keep in mind that every single object you see in the video can be completely destroyed or repaired. Also note that each city you play in will have dozens of different areas each with its own types of zombies….thousands of buildings to explore and loot….a nearly inexhaustible number of places to build a shelter, craft reinforcements, etc. In other words….the maps are huge!

  2. Paolo says:

    I really enjoyed the video ๐Ÿ™‚

    …I’m hoping for a PC (STEAM) + OUYA release ๐Ÿ˜€

    • Spear chucker says:

      holy shit, would be fun as fuck on ouya, wich im assuming ouya is basically ios games on steroids, like say quest, or junk jack, or even this.

  3. Simon says:

    This is going to be awesome!

    I don’t know what your plan is after relessing this game but after watching what’s going on these days at E3, and the indy game industry, I don’t see how you could not have success with this game.
    I’d really like to see you around making sequels or other games.

    Have fun, I will wait until it’s out!

  4. Ben Parker says:

    So epic cannot wait for this game to be released!

    So awesome! Cant wait to try play it! Thanks for the vid Tyson!

  6. Chris says:

    My God! those are all in game models!!! that is absolutely insane; My problem is imagining how this will run on an older mobile system (i just cant imagine this working on an iPhone 4). How has optimizing been working out for older tech?

  7. Gulo says:

    Love it!
    cant wait for the release!
    the only question is, is it compatible for ipad 1st gen? and would it lagg

    Evil but true…

  14. Johnster says:

    Nice vid
    Just wondering in the video i saw the areas change quite fast
    Eg. Residental area to a military area
    What i mean is that over a fence of a military area its a residental area will this be changed to have a slower transaction?
    Cant wait
    Please reply

  15. T4V0C3110 says:

    Awesome. Would be the perfect trailer for the game. Would pay 5$ on ios+ 10$ on steam by sure. Waiting for the release… Can’t f-f-freaking wait!!!! ๐Ÿ˜€ if you need any support or anything, you have to think in your fans… Beta testers maybe? We have been waiting almost a year… Please…?

  16. Illuminati says:

    I dont believe i can remove comments

  17. Miguel says:

    Breathtaking, nothing less.

  18. Miguel says:

    Although, Tyson, if I can make a suggestion, if that’s a meteor, you ought to think in resizing, because a meteor that big would destroy a much larger area, at a state-wide scale, a smaller one would work better for both immersion and realism in my opinion.

    • Guitario666 says:

      ummm.. It’s a zombie game done in cubism and you’re worried about meteor size realism??

      any ways instabuy on ipad 4

  19. Illuminati says:

    The New World Order is coming very soon.

  20. Jack says:

    That’s… damn staggering. ๐Ÿ™‚ You’ve achieved what so many other developers seem to fail at- a fantastic, believable procedural world, and at an awesome scale.

    Question though- how does the game handle zombies? Will the same groups be persistent? Either way, I’m afraid you’re going to have to take my money.

  21. Nathan says:

    I’m throwing money at the screen but I still don’t have the game. ๐Ÿ™

  22. Illuminati says:

    Its not irreverent if it has to do with the earth. You, me and every one on this planet.

  23. Doctar Bren says:

    I’m just wondering one thing if we happened to spot a house nice enough to camp could we be able to fortify it

  24. Illuminati says:

    The Illuminati was not surpressed for satanism has taken over the music industry and hollywood and currupted peoples minds. It was just in the 1900s kids started having to go to school. Before that they worked hard labor not being brainwashed by the syatem. If you think for one second the Illuminatis not ready to take over… Look around. Or you 16 or younger and cant understand. The illuminati is complicated to fully understand and no one trully does. Did you no a c.e.o. Of a company makes $35,000 in less than a day? Thats more than the average Americans income. Look at all the people dying and suffering. Look up High Frictose Corn Syrup and GMOs ( Genetically Modified Food) their killing us and dumbing us down. Many are waking up. Better get ready kid cuz the U.N. troops are already here. Our troops are off fighting a senceless war.

      Hey,

      I’m glad people are commenting, and discussions that go off-topic are fine too, but this is getting a little spammy. Please refrain from posting stuff like this.

    • John says:

      To counter Illuminati is to use your head ^^, quite easy

  25. Illuminati says:

    Why do you think their trying to take our guns all the sudden and not teaching kids about the constitution in school.

  26. T4V0C3110 says:

    I… Need… AN UPDAAAATE!!!!

  27. Chris says:

    Will this be optimized for iPad?

  30. petergurki says:

    Ohhhh… I noticed a heli launch pad at 0:10 in the fly through video. A hint for possible helicopters? I think they won’t fit in the game at the beginning but as a endgame vehicle that has to be worked for a lot, it would fit. Also the perspective looks very helicopter-ish. If there’s no helis, I wouldn’t mind though ๐Ÿ™‚

  31. OB2 says:

    Just a right on the money game, go thinking about a 2nd multiplayer game version, people will demand it!

  32. petergurki says:

    Was the flythrough rendered on a idevice like the ipod/ iPhone or on a high-end pc? If it was rendered on a pc, what hardware did it have?

    • Tyson Ibele says:

      Hey Peter,

      Since the Zombox engine only supports a top-down view of the world (as seen in all the other preview material), this sweeping fly-through was pre-rendered on my PC.

      Basically I just took the actual city generation code, used it to generate this giant map, and animated a camera flying through it.

      It was a very fast render since all the in-game models and materials are quite simple, although it also helps that my machine is fairly powerful. It’s a dual quad core PC with 24 gigs of ram.

      So basically…what you’re seeing was an actual model of a city straight from the game, seen from a slightly different perspective. ๐Ÿ™‚

  46. Nathan says:

    Great updates come with a great price, that price is time…………Keep up the good work Tyson

  47. Pissed off says:

    Maybe you should just release the game and keep making updates instead of just being a douch by just updating it..

    For real.. This games been in the making way to long..
