Here’s a teaser of some of the new crafting stations you’ll be able to build in Zombox. After you build or upgrade each one, you’ll be able to craft many new items.
Can you guess what some of these will be used for?
This game only gets better and better with every update! May I ask what you use to make the textures for the models? I have just recently gotten into game making and am unsure of what program I should use to make the graphics for my models.
Sorry im obviously not Tyson, but I could maybe help you with your question.
First of all it really depends on what game you are making.
Is it pixellated (Minecraft), should it look like Battlefield etc…..?
If it’s pixellated you can use a lot of programs like Photoshop, and free ones Gimp or Paint.net.(And just paint your textures)
If you want to achieve a realistic look, you need textures themselves taken with a camera.
Those textures you can then modify, that they suit your needs.
You can again use Photoshop,Gimp or Paint.net to modify those.
An other good programm which you can also do a little bit of texturing with is blender.
Blender is an open-source allrounder (You can make Games, Animations (like pixar or Dreamworks),Special-Effects etc ), you can get it for free from http://www.blender.org.
I hope this helps
The ones on the right are furnaces, cooking, and forging stations, the ones on the top left are for building, the ones below them are chemistry stations, the ones below them are for weapons, below them are for clothing, the ones below them are tech stations.
Nailed it?
BTW i think this crafting system is awesome, thanks for the update.
Also thanks for the fix on the login system 🙂
Tyson, I think you are making the very common mistake among developers and start-ups of trying to perfect the product too much before going to market.
This game is your creation, your “baby” and I understand you want it to be perfect, but I really think you should reconsider how having what you might think of as an unfinished version “out there” could actually help you improve the game towards that utopian perfection much faster!
You could very well sell this as a finished product already and use the income generated from sales to speed up the rest of the development and publish it either as updates or paid extensions.
Hitting the consumer now would also help you with testing and feedback as I am sure users will find bugs you are yet not aware of.
I seriously love this game and your work, but it hurts me inside to see you making what I think is a serious business mistake by delaying so much the release of the first version.
Just look at the feedback you are getting on the comments here, think about how many millions of dollars you have already lost by not having something on the store already…
I completely agree with this comment, releasing an unfinished version and putting it on something like Steam Early Access, Desura or merely selling it via Humble’s widget would allow the players to help you form the game in to the best version it can be. I know it’s easier said than done, but with enough feedback from the community you will be able to make your game the best it can be. And hey, if you did release an alpha/beta/whatever version, people would be paying YOU to find bugs, glitches, and any other exploits in your game for you! It’s really a win-win situation, please consider Go2Mrkt’s suggestion!
Go2Mrkt is right. Don’t make the same mistake so many developers made Tyson.the game looks better than most of the PS3 games available these days P.S. Sorry for my poor english
I think there are many people that will buy this in 1 day, it already looks awesome. It would get to top 100 very quickly and then more people would discover this game and take it to top 10 for sure. If its playable without horrible crashes, you should release it and work on updates for more content. But anyways I wish you good luck in development.
If you’re currently working on an Update you should consider releasing the game after youre done with working on the Update or whatever you’re working on (just a suggestion)
I agree that u have a great high rate game but no ones ever played it except you that makes me wonder if your game has potential to enter the apple store steam and other but texture is great now not the best but it will make top 10 maybe even top 5 u have to release it then update it on wards I think it is going to be a great game u just have to know when it is.
What you guys have to consider is that Tyson maybe has the basic building blocks of the engine etc. nailed down,
But (!) maybe it’s not a “Game” yet, which has enough Content to keep the User engaged for more than 1-2 hours.
Maybe you wouldn’t care about that, but there will be many people complaining about that and they will write bad reviews.
(And that’s of course really bad.)
If he wants to release the game soon (in 4-5 Months) , he should work on making the frame a game.
Release the game for below ios seven because some people want the game but not to spend for hundred dollers on a new phone to get such a cool game like yours!!!
I had high hopes for this game few years ago, I was excited to see it in play but shit its now 2014 I can’t believe it’s still in the making? No demo? After all this time Nothing..
Dude best bet is to just sell off the trademark to someone who can make some progress and still make yourself some profit
You’re a fucking idiot if you really think a game made by a single man can really finish it up within a few years. The game has made a lot of progress throughout the years, and the developer is probably preparing to release it for Early Access play soon enough because we haven’t seen an update in a while.
Stop being a cunt and learn how patience is a virtue and impatience is fucking ignorance.
Lol, at the end of 2012 he said he’s going to release it sometime in 2013. (offical post)
It’s ok Tyson, though I would really appreciate it, if I could play Zombox this year.
wonderful publish, very informative. I wonder why the opposite specialists of this sector don’t notice this. You should proceed your writing. I am confident, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
No, I mean, I´m an old commenter in this blog and Ty´s lack of confidence or courage (Yeah, i´m challenging you, bro) just made me feel pretty bad for this game… I mean i´m sure anyone has seen Zombox gameplay style games and that might have been what stopped the updates of development… The feel of making something people might say that it is a failure, that it has been made before… If you would just know how many promises this great dev has done through the years… Man… I´m just gonna kill myself.

Hay is that bullet crafting place I see? cus that would be vary helpful in the game.
BTW are we going to be able to fortify any house or buliding to make it like a home base?
Also we should be able to scavenge for barb wire to place on streets or in front of house so we can have kind if a safe zone ( it should be very rare to find it )
Well, glad to see that some people still have faith. I don´t. One day it will be out and there will be no fans to spread the word. No one´s fault, I guess…
‘One day it will be out’ That’s where the fault is. I’ve done my waiting, no doubt I will still buy the game, but still, one can only wait so long until they either get what they want, or they die waiting for it come.
I’ve been waiting for both drtc and this. Both taking forever, at least we’re getting monthly updates for drtc now. Seems like this game will never come out though
Well.. I was just thinking about this earlier and thought “Hey I bet that games up by now!” after not checking for awhile but nope.. check the apple store Nothing, check the website nothing..
Safe to say this project has gone nowhere but down..
To all of you that are concerned that the project got cancelled Tyson tweetet that he is just working on a new project and that we should just hang in there (He tweetet this 6 Days ago)
“Hey everyone, I’m not dead and neither is Zombox! I’m just busy with another big project at the moment that’s nearly wrapped up. Hang tight!” HES ALIVE! AND SO IS ZOMBOX!
Can I ask when will it be released to the App Store will it be free or paid?whats taking so long to develop this game I heard 3 years ago got my friends hyped up!!online it said release date is sep,23,2013!!!!!
Everyday millions of Zombies are being slaughtered whether through Call of Duty, DayZ or any other form of media, for simple entertainment. Only one man can help, and we need your help to help him. So please #reviveZombox and bring happiness to zombies all over the world…
BEFORE WE MURDER THEM AND SACRIFICE THEIR UNDEAD SOULS TO OUR LORD BEELZEBUB WHILE SMASHING THROUGH A BUILDING AND CRAFTING A SWORD MADE FROM DEMON BLOOD AND USING IT TO END OUR OWN LIVES SO WE CAN BE SACRIFICED TOO.
Well I will not be buying this at all anymore. If a dev can actively ignore people to this extent then I do not want to give them my money. It’s a shame because I feel he could have made a huge amount of money with this game if done properly. If funds was a problem I would have suggested Kickstarter (plus it’s great publicity to be on there). Letting all the buzz around this game fade away into nothingness was the wrong move.

Wow, marvelous weblog structure! How lengthy have you been running a blog for? you make running a blog glance easy. The entire glance of your web site is magnificent, let alone the content material!
I’ve got to say that this really is one of the most eye-catching postings I’ve found concerning this subject matter. I could definately keep an eye on your posts.
This post is just what I consider an easy to follow posting. Clear and to the point. I will have to definately watch out for additional material such as this.
My spouse and I almost didn’t check this webpage out but I’m just thankful I did. It’s actually very good in comparison to many others I’ve found. I’m going certainly return.
Shut up and take my money!
Lol give him some time to let him finish the game at first 😀
This game looks amazing. Please just release the game then update it as it goes cause If ya did that I would just buy it instantly no matter the cost.
This game only gets better and better with every update! May I ask what you use to make the textures for the models? I have just recently gotten into game making and am unsure of what program I should use to make the graphics for my models.

Thank you Jason. I hadn’t thought of taking and editing photos. Your advise will defintely help with the texturing process.
Thanks for the thorough post, Jason. You got it exactly right!
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING 😀 😀 😀

Nailed it indeed! 🙂
Yay 🙂
Awesome update by the way, i think it’s better to have multiple crafting tables for every category as opposed to one for everything

Please!! release it
Lol

have you thought about make a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo?

Lol Mdickie makes games in like 3 months. Probably because they suck but still, it can be done.
i supprt you guys 🙂
Really pumped for this! I wish he would tell us what he’s up to right now though.
Lol, at the end of 2012 he said he’s going to release it sometime in 2013. (offical post)
It’s ok Tyson, though I would really appreciate it, if I could play Zombox this year.
Hey Tyson
Maybe you could release Zombox as a beta in the Beta-Appstore announced from Apple at WWDC.
I think it would help to improove the game further.
wonderful publish, very informative. I wonder why the opposite specialists of this sector don’t notice this. You should proceed your writing. I am confident, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
I´m just gonna kill myself.
Pls just post the game, you can update it as you go on, I really want it looks so fun, it will be a great app for my ipad! 🙂
I wonder if he died or is in a coma
No, I mean, I´m an old commenter in this blog and Ty´s lack of confidence or courage (Yeah, i´m challenging you, bro) just made me feel pretty bad for this game… I mean i´m sure anyone has seen Zombox gameplay style games and that might have been what stopped the updates of development… The feel of making something people might say that it is a failure, that it has been made before… If you would just know how many promises this great dev has done through the years… Man… I´m just gonna kill myself.
I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to check on this devblog… 🙁 So sad!
Lo admiro oneself may possibly comprise accomplished bien here. which includes que el element the place by yourself decir your self son performing este in la dirección of provide again quisiera anticipate however as significa un resultado de todo el suggestions que operating para yourself also.
Think it’s time to assume this project is dead. Shame 🙁
Hay is that bullet crafting place I see? cus that would be vary helpful in the game.
BTW are we going to be able to fortify any house or buliding to make it like a home base?
I wouldn’t be surprised it this becomes #1 on the App Store on the first day!
Also we should be able to scavenge for barb wire to place on streets or in front of house so we can have kind if a safe zone ( it should be very rare to find it )
Well, glad to see that some people still have faith. I don´t. One day it will be out and there will be no fans to spread the word. No one´s fault, I guess…
‘One day it will be out’ That’s where the fault is. I’ve done my waiting, no doubt I will still buy the game, but still, one can only wait so long until they either get what they want, or they die waiting for it come.
Same with Death Road to Canada. What’s up with top down zombie survival games taking longer to make than First-Person ones?
I’ve been waiting for both drtc and this. Both taking forever, at least we’re getting monthly updates for drtc now. Seems like this game will never come out though
Will any of these tables make the development faster?
Well.. I was just thinking about this earlier and thought “Hey I bet that games up by now!” after not checking for awhile but nope.. check the apple store Nothing, check the website nothing..
Safe to say this project has gone nowhere but down..
February… Last post since February?!? Do you even lift?
He lifts your hopes then crushes your dreams.
lol!
To all of you that are concerned that the project got cancelled Tyson tweetet that he is just working on a new project and that we should just hang in there (He tweetet this 6 Days ago)
I wanna know what the other project is.
It sounds like he’s cheating on Zombox with another game.
“Hey everyone, I’m not dead and neither is Zombox! I’m just busy with another big project at the moment that’s nearly wrapped up. Hang tight!” HES ALIVE! AND SO IS ZOMBOX!
or Zombox is “undead”
Can I ask when will it be released to the App Store will it be free or paid?whats taking so long to develop this game I heard 3 years ago got my friends hyped up!!online it said release date is sep,23,2013!!!!!
Never
OMG that was like a year ago!
COMMON ITS BEEN 50 YEARS SINCE I CAME UPON THIS WEBPAGE, At least give a hint if Zombox is alive or not! (or undead lol)
But then yet again, iv have a glimpse on how tough it is to make a game, let alone this one
I would imagine the ceaseless avalanche of kids blabbering about on these here posts is hardly encouraging.
I remember finding this project some time back, it’s interesting to see how it’s come so far. I wish you luck with any future development!
Everyday millions of Zombies are being slaughtered whether through Call of Duty, DayZ or any other form of media, for simple entertainment. Only one man can help, and we need your help to help him. So please #reviveZombox and bring happiness to zombies all over the world…
