Battle with Zombies: The last one [TopDown]

[mdkd99]

Battle with Zombies goes into the last round.

'Fight the zombies with multiple guns, upgrade your skills and order help, when you need it. How long will you survive?'



Stay tuned.

[CuriousSack]

Listen, Zombies! This will be your doom!
And in the end I will be on the top and you zombie vermin will be down!

[mdkd99]

I'll wish you luck when it's time. And I want to spend much time on the logic to avoid bugs and other mistakes.

[CuriousSack]

Hi Domenic, I'm sure that this will become a worthy finale! Give your best as always!

[mdkd99]

I love LBP Vita! I was working on something and than I went to play mode. 5-10 seconds. I went back into create mode. 3-4 seconds. That's fast.

I am making progress. Looks good so far.

This is the hud design:

I have some news for you!

I am lazy and I will only make 5 guns, 5 skills with 2 steps and only 10 ranks.

In every BWZ the game ends completely after you died. I want to change it. After you died you will come back to the menu and then you can leave the game with your collected EP or you can play another round. That would reset your progress though. Result: People who play the game often don't need to restart the whole level over and over again to play the game again.

The logic is growing. I improved the movement system. It needs less logic parts to function. Great!

Now something else: If you are interested, I could make a map tour in a video where I show off the map. So, are you interested?

[CuriousSack]

Sounding great, and to be lazy...sometimes...isn't a shame!
Have a fine weekend and many greetings, Jürgen^^

[mdkd99]

Developing the game goes fast. Many things are done, big things aren't. The shop isn't done. The design will be cool! Stay tuned.

[mdkd99]

Some days are still left. To be honest it looks like the party of this Battle with Zombies will be empty. I don't see people like Ratalsoni or Wolfbrother anymore and it looks like I am the last of us LBPV gamers here in the forum.

I will still finish this last Battle with Zombies. Even when it's for myself.

[CuriousSack]

You won't stand the last battle all alone, I will be your wingman!

[mdkd99]

Thanks, CuriousSack! The zombies will fear you!

Maybe 5 people will play it.

[CuriousSack]

Hahaha, while the scaredy-cats will be sitting in their rooms, trembling and crying, five brave warriors will go to battle the zombies and save our craftsworld!

[mdkd99]

Update
Battle with Zombies 7's release will be delayed.

I messed up. Basically I need more time to realize my plans. I want it to be the best Battle with Zombies level ever.

Here's a picture of the sentry gun, which is one of the BigHelps/inforcement objects:


It looks horrible. I have to work on it.

However, stay tuned!

Nah, I still pick up LBP whenever I find (and charge) my vita. Granted my cord is frayed so I try to limit its use. Also, looking forward to it. I think I'll play through my queue before this releases since I think the others are still there XD (I create way more than play (But i can never find my way to focus on one project for a long time))

[mdkd99]

Haha, I thought I need to delay the release of this level, but I'm done with it. I just need to fix two little bugs and it could roll out today.
After that I will edit my signature everywhere so that people see, that a cool level was published in LBP Vita.

I will also ask Jww later if he can move this to 'published'.

Stay tuned, it's too long anymore.

[CuriousSack]

Wow, thats sounding great! ...you're a man full of surprises!
Many greetings, Jürgen^^

[mdkd99]

Am I man? Well, I have a beard, I guess that influences the result of the question.

I ran into an error. I was super scared when I read 'level loading failed'. MULTIPLE TIMES. It came out that some emitters couldn't spawn the objects because they were broken. :/

I can't fix that one bug at the skills menu. The quickplay feature was so nice though. When I tested it out, it felt so smooth. You die and almost 3 seconds later you are on stage again and it feels like nothing has happened before. It's a shame that something at the skills menu doesn't work... :/

Maybe I'll publish a closed late beta without that feature.

You in, Curi?

The 7th Battle with Zombies is published!

Give it a try



A big THANKS to everyone who supported me.
Thank you, Ratalsoni!
Thank you, wolfbrother!
Thank you, koltonaugust!
And of course thank you CuriousSack!

I really hope you enjoy this Battle with Zombies.

[CuriousSack]

Great! I'm looking forward to play it! And if I should happen to survive then I will give you my review!
Good luck and many greetings, Jürgen^^

[mdkd99]

It has 19 plays already! That's awesome for LBP Vita circumstances.

Here's a gmaeplay video:

It's the last BWZ, but I am going to update the level. I have a few ideas.

A hardcore mode, where you have 2HP, no HUD and can't upgrade any skills. The waves are shorter and it goes up to wave 5 in a matter of 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes. You get 50 points per kill instead of 100. This could be a nice gamemode for BWZ pros.

The inforcements menu is quite empty. Only one object, which is the sentry gun. I have a few ideas here either. A small slowmotion generator, which slows all zombies around him down. I also thought about a grenade sentry gun with 5 seconds of cooldown or a strong sentry gun, which costs 2500 points instead of 1000.
