Max in his new home.

Max checkin out the state of the art equipment they have on the rebel base.
Okay, here's the story:

Max has just bought a new house right outside a small town called Atwater. Just when he is unpacking his stuff, someone knocks on the door. Or rather scrapes. He opens and are met by a horrifying sight. This is where our everyday hero starts his journey to escape these things.

The game is still pretty unfinished, but wantet to let people know that it is in production :)

EDIT: Here's not the overall persentage:


Dont want to give away too much

Yeay!

Just one little comment if you allow me (although this is not C&C)

on the second screenshot, if I were a zombie I could very easily slip by the fence, judging by the size of the character, that is...Of course it is Electirfied, which makes things a little difficult for the zombies, but anyway, just thought to tell you.

For some reason though, I like very very much the colour of the sky. It is very pleasent to the eyes... And of course the character looks great.

It looks interesting. But I miss a little bit something on the second screenshot. Maybe you could put some clouds for the sky or more colours for the ground.

But it could be a good game!

I might do that, but lets not make this a c&c thread :) I could rather put the image in the critics lounge, but not now. Going to italy very soon, and my brother are hogging the other computer, so i cant put it there now. :) (actuallu there are bullet-holes on the "pole"/wall thingy, but the text coveniently covers it :P ::))

Hey everybody! I am currently on christmas holiday in italy, and therefore i have not been able to post in a while :P (in this time of writing, i am on an internet café)

Matt: I will of course make new cursors. And will also make new GUI's and font. (i will probably not make the font, only import a new one)


I havent got my comp with me, so i am not able to work much on the game now, but have made a nice bunch-o-concept art.

I love the undead too :D But as much as i love blasting them up, there will probably not be any zombie shoot-ups in this game, as i dont see this fit for the type of game :P ;D Again, thanks for all replies! its this type of talk that keeps me going! :)

I also love the undead, and this game looks pretty interesting.
Why not give us some more eye candy, show us some of your concept art :=

I would :P But i dont have a scanner, so this makes it all really hard to do :( I could, possibly take some pictures of the drawings, if you want :P ;D

Well... I took some pics with my phone camera... (i dont have a realÃ,  camera) And i dont have time to digitally improve them right now. But here are two of them anyway :)
EDIT: No they are gone now! I removed these horrible works of the devil!
Any attempts on making them clearer are welcome! But until then... Sayonara! *mysterious swooosh*

I finally found myself a scanner, and got all the pics onto my computer. They are not much to look at, but here are the ones i'm most pleased with.

Way too big. And I have no idea what's happening in the first image.

This idea seems interesting, the undead genre is always one of my favorites. Could you give us an overall report on your progress; percent of artwork completed, programming,..
