Zomb''d Development Page.

You should reference the old nerd debate about whether the "zombies" in 28 Days Later were actually zombies, or just mutants.

Person A: "So when did you start working here?"
Person B: "Oh, like a month ago. 28 days to be exact."
Person A: "28 days? That's not a month. That's like... a mutant month."
Person B: "Not if it's a leap year."

...or if there's no dialogue, just calendars around the walls, marked at the 28th.

@gruso: i actually liked the dialog .... ahahah
I SHALL SEE WHAT I CAN DO WITH THAT.

Thanks to you gruso! maybe one day Zombd release will appear on your legendary blog!

@david Bowman: Maybe while walking in the city we could see the theater from The Video clip.
I don't wanna go into the too obvious.
More like Subtle things to pay Homage to zombie classics

Hehe it's not just my blog... I just post a lot to see my name on the screen.

I'm looking forward to putting Zomb'd on the blog actually, just waiting for the right time. Nail's Adventure went up today, and I threw in a mention of Zomb'd at the end.

A little test WIP - nothing at all special.

CODE
http://iprice.remakes.org/my_stuff/zombd_wip01.rar
Windows only.

I'm aware of the sprite movement from non-gun mode to gun mode (and vice versa) - we will need to create the arms/weapons as independent sprites from the main body etc. Not a big problem.

 

[gruso]

You fiend, I was about to go to bed! Simple but fun little demo, great to see some sprite animation in action. A delicious taste of things to come.

 

[jsmtux]

Looking great!
It works perfecly under wine with no modifications for those ones who don`t have windows.
What libraries are you using in order to scale things?
Are you eventually going to release the sources?
Keep up the good work!!

 

[Mr.Gonzo]

Woaah moar scaling!
I shall do a little quick "getting your gun" animation.

 

[BackAssward]

Very nice, I just tried the sprite demo. One thought: does anyone think there should be a couple frames of animation when you change direction, rather than an instant `mirror` effect? Lovely sprite animations so far, just a thought.

The theater in the background would be perfect. I was only being facetious when I said the bit about dancing. But if you want recognizable zombie stuff, Thriller is definitely recognizable.

Funny (and irrelevant) bug: If you press Left and Right simultanous, he walk twice as fast

Homage ideas? Ok, here we go...
- obviously a zombie named Bub (Day of the Dead)
- a strange, alien-like kid and his stupid mother (Burial Ground)
- an inflated rubbershark (maybe decoration in a cubicle) dropping onto a zombie, causing him to attack it. Could be a puzzle: find the shark, inflate it, throw it on a zombie to distract him, maybe in a pool (Zombi 2)
- the symbol of the Keto cult on some wall, and the annoying sound that is always played when it's seen on screen (Zombi Holocaust)
- the Book of Eibon, maybe containing some information for a puzzle (The Beyond/City of the Living Dead)
- a priest who hanged himself to death (City of the Living Dead)
- an American Chicken Bunker restaurant (Poultrygeist - Night of the Chicken Dead)
- a very slow blind zombie, only reacting to the sound of our hero, maybe in a sneaking-sequence (Tomb of the Blind Dead)

Hahaha, nice find. This would be great.

 

[Mr.Gonzo]

Klaus seems to be a huge zombie fan.
Thanks for the ideas man!

Tomb of the Blind Dead? never heard about that , ill look into it!

 

[Eniko]

Somewhere in there a character needs to say they hate vests. /Left 4 Dead

 

[Mr.Gonzo]

We absolutely need something to pay homage to Evil Dead , one of my favorite movie trilogy of all time.

 

[CyruzDraxs]

Needs more "We're coming to get you Barbara."

 

[DavidBowman]

Both Evil Dead and Evil Dead II were great, but Army of Darkness remains my favorite. Bruce Campbell FTW.

 

[Mr.Gonzo]

the second was my favorite

How about a Zombie eating your shoes. I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOLE.
