Cold Meat

[Helme]

Story:

You play Pete. A lazy guy who lives in a small town in bavaria and loves heavy metal music and fast food. Today is the grand opening of the first fast food restaurant in your town, so Pete knows what to do.
But there is one big problem. The restaurant seems to be build on a ancient burial ground and zombies rose from their graves. So Pete has some options:
a) Look for food somewhere else.
b) Learn to cook for yourself.
c) Help the zombies having a proper burial ceremony.

It's an adventure, so you know which option Pete will choose.







Features:
- medium length (about 5-8h of gameplay)
- lots of strange zombies (not the type brainless type of zombies, but they are quite oblivious.)
- puns about fast food, bavarians...

Status Report:
- graphics 100%
- puzzles 100%
- scripting 100%
- music 100%
- translation 60%

I hope to release the game in june or july 09.

I am a lazy guy!

I live in a small town!

I love heavy metal music!

I love fast food!

And I also like games about zombies.

Therefore: I can relate to this right here!

Bring it on!

This looks very interesting, and I love the character art.   

Will there be an English translation *looks at middle screenshot*

[Helme]

There will be an english translation. Maybe there will also be one in french and in czech.

Nice to see, that the german scene produces promising titles. And did I ever say, that I love Zombies? ;-)

I diddo everything Ben said.

The character designs are pretty cool.  Sounds like a fun game!

This reminds me a bit of the movie "Teenage Heavy Metal Fatso in Undead Fast Food Hell". Or was it "Meatball Meltdown - The Fortress Of Braindead Heavy Metal Zombies"? I'm always mixing those up...

I had to think of this scene in Shaun of the Dead, when Shaun walks through his suburban neighborhood and doesn´t even realise that the people have turned into zombies.

This looks promising indeed and has been added the my highly exclusive "games-to-try-and-remember-not-to-forget-about-and-actually-play-when-they-come-out" list.

The game made a lot of progress in the last weeks. But it seems like some of my play-testers have a non-adventure-related private life, so I got to wait for reactions to continue my work.

Maybe I won't manage it, to release it in july, but I'm quite certain for august.
... or I port it to a ridiculously expensive 3D-engine and release it, when it's done.

I would like to post some more screenshots, but it's hard to find any, without spoiling to much.
So here, you can see our couch potato in a rare situation: Pete on a meadow.

Yeah, I'll definitely be playing this, too. I'm past my Metal-ish time, but still.
Oh, and if you need a hand with the translation, just PM me--as of yesterday, I'm officially on holiday and have lots of spare time.

@Bedminster
I'm really glad to get help with the translation.  I already sent you an e-mail.
