thankyou! :D

I seriously have no idea when I'll finish sorry, I have a ton of other work as well as my full-time job, so for now, I'm just working on this in my free time :p . If I were to continuously work on this alone, I think it would take a few months... hmm maybe I should put up a to do list so people can see the amount of work left to get a better idea of when I might finish.

...I wish I could finish it soon though haha

Noxious -


 

 

For those who are actually following this, I'm sorry I can't get this thing out sooner... can't even get a demo out hahaaa... but I'm nearing the end of another game I've been working on over a year soooo fingers crossed this will open up a lot more time to work on this game :|  - hopeful face of anticipation!

UPDATE:

Yet another drawing, a pre-zombie Greg in his human form...


 

I'm thinking of waiting till the next maker comes out to make the game on that, but now I've found myself in quite a predicament being that the entire art changes doesn't it? For now, I'll finish the human versions of the zombies. Maybe I'll just create some sort of 3D intro for the game in the meantime?

Anyone got any ideas on what puzzles I can implement in the game? I really need help with this as I haven't really made puzzles before.. I just play them haha.

Depends on the kinds of puzzles you want to include in the game, and whether it's going to be a full-on puzzle game, or one with puzzle elements. I suggest playing a lot of different puzzle games to get a feel for the kind you'd like to implement, and borrow concepts from those (just a little, as you want your project to be unique after all) to enhance yours.

Oh, and I adore your artwork for this.

Thanks HawkZombie! :)
As far as I know, I'll have the zombies facing the players. I wasn't too sure if I would have combat involved, but thanks to someone on the other forum, it looks like I'll implement traps for the player to build against the humans.

So it will certainly have puzzle elements in there, but I don't think it will be a full-on puzzle game. Alright, I'll list a few puzzle games down, take the best parts of them out, change 'em around a bit (uniquearize them) and chuck 'em in my game :D .

...and please don't eat my human's brains... they're mine :stare:  hahaha

Don't worry. I'm more interested in the brains of voles and other woodland creatures ;)

Thankyou!

lol yea it is a bit strange doing all this work on a game without an actual game...
I think I will just create some simple sprites using the one sprite I already have for now and then get a level or 2 made. I do have the background mechanics sorted out though with all the rooms of the puzzle being able to move and stuff, so that's a start, you just can't really see that side of it lol.

UPDATE:

Alright! For this update, I thought I would complete all 4 of the human concepts in one go so I could get at least this part done faster. So without further a do, here's all 4 of the rest of the human versions of the last 4 zombies -

 

Crazy Human -


 

Brainy Human -


 

Lard Human -


 

Noxious Human -


 

I also updated the Noxious Zombie with an added sombrero to his disguise to match his human version -


 

Next, I'll get some quick sprites done for these guys. I say quick because I don't want to work too much on these sprites as I'll have to create new, bigger sprites if I want them in the new RPG maker :p .

Either way, you won't be seeing anymore of these concepts or whatever they are! I am finally DONE!! phew!

 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

UPDATE:

And here's the sprites! I didn't intend to put this much effort into something I won't use in the final game, but couldn't help it haha oh well.

technically I didn't put 100% effort into this... maybe 60-70% haha.

eg. - Need to change the humans arms to be more humany.

      - Need to differentiate the sizes of the sprites.

      - Need to cover the human noxious' face with a sombrero instead of the mask.

      - Need to change some colours.

      - Need to change the hair styles.

      - Need to make the diagonal sprites (for now, I won't allow the player to be able to move diagonally like I intend to later on).

 

Anyway, here they are...

Humans -


 

Zombies -


 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

I don't really know much about the process of creating sprites (I'm a music/sound design guy) but I just wanted to stop by and say these sprites are both awesome and adorable! The cross-eyed zombie version of the first human is hilarious XD. Great work! This makes me want to try the game.

Oh, thanks ChipZealot! Yea I guess one thing I could say about the process is that it will take a lot longer to complete the sprites the next time I do them for the next RPG Maker. I don't think they will look much better, but there will have to be a lot more effort involved :p

I wish I could do music stuff. I think I'll need to hire someone for that part XD

Well if you do need someone for music down the road, feel free to send me a message! I have a playlist of some of the stuff I've done on my profile. I haven't done any zombie music yet, but it sounds like a very fun project! :)

UPDATE:Well it's been a while! But I have begun working on this project once again! I've created for myself a giant milestone list and getting through that bit by bit. With completing things, I've been able to create a progress bar (although it's not entirely accurate as it doesn't include all the work I had already done towards the game).Anyhow, it's in my signature 
Aand here's the main reason for updating, I've created the main parts of the sprites updated to MV! 
 (I just need to animate and diagonalize them, but I can save that for later).

Greg - 
 Bulk - 
 Crazy - 



Brainy - 
 Lard - 
 Noxious -

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
