A zombie survival game, my first project

Hello, names Tim. I am a new game developer, I recently started working on my first project which is a zombie survival game like no other. This is an indie project that I am doing to just learn the basics and essentials of unity. This game will be completely different than another zombie survival game. I have been working on this game for about 5 weeks now, just counting the hours of working on it. So I really haven’t worked on it a hole lot, mostly because of school. I am actually really far for only working on the game, I have a main menu working, I should say 3d main menu. I am currently working on a map out of 5, the map I’m working on right now is close to being finished. I am hoping to have a demo up sometime soon, I just need to get AI working for the zombies, and many other things like shooting, muzzle flash, recoil and more.

Features:
-flashlight on/off, the flashlight has a certain amount of use until it dies. If it dies, the player needs to find battery packs
-random spawn for zombies and weapons
-day/night cycle
-health does not regenerate, player would need to find health packs. Ammo is very limited, player would have to find ammo packs
-exploration of big maps

Screen shots: See attached images

Video so far of game, this video is completely old. The map is completely changed:

Enjoy!


Not bad bro, I’m also new to the developing genre. Good luck with it !

your video is super jerky… what are you using to record? Is it that laggy without recording?

I personally recommend fraps.

Yeah I know it is super laggy, it was only when I recorded. But for some reason now when I record it doesn’t mess up or jerk anymore. Is fraps for mac?
I use quicktime player because that is all I have to use at the moment.

hmmm not sure if fraps is mac.

oh well! if you dont have the problem anymore thats all good.

on a side note, releasing a laggy video is never a good idea :wink:


Okay, a long over due update on my game. It has changed a lot since I last posted, the main idea/ concept its still the same but not restricted to one place. The player would now be able to go to a few different maps. The map in one of the pictures, the one with the fence, is called The Park. It is an abandoned National park in a small city. In an update later on I’ll hopefully show a video of the games progress. As of right now I have almost completed making the map of the park, I have started working on the guns. I will hopefully post more updates a lot faster since I have the time now. Also, i am thinking of trying to include leader boards, but not sure if I should.

Thanks, for looking at this post. More too come.

that`s pretty cool but you should consider working more on the detail of the terrain!

Oh yeah I know, I have worked in making it look a lot better, but the thing is I would rather get the weapons and the zombies working first before I focus on the look of the terrain. Thanks for the feedback :smile:

Here is the first update video of my game, the name of the game is going to change. It will be announced probably sometime around the 3rd or 4th update video. This video is really just showing the map which doe snot have many details yet but will be greater detailed in upcoming updates. Some feedback would be awesome, and please subscribe to my youtube account if you’re interested to see more.

This was a little long over due update post on this forums…

This looks like one of those things that crash very quickly ,but I’m optimistic so good luck!

I have no clue if it will crash quickly or not, I am just working on this project to just learn how to use unity to its fullest capability. I plan on just real easing this game as a free one to experiment with the game developing process. After this game I pal on working on a multiplayer game that will be different from most. But thanks for the comment.
