Jack Hurt and the Living Dead (Zombie Test Video)

The Suitor · Thu 27/03/2008 23:46:03

Production is a little slower than I hoped. I've had some family problems but I'm still working on it

I had all kinds of Ideas but it started to turn into a shooter, so I have to restart my brain to think adventure again lol. I've worked on a couple of zombie animations, none i'm too happy with enough to post. But I'm playing with some Ideas on that point. Bare in mind this is my first public game so it's not going to be much greater than the one's I'm hording (which I'm still playing around with and might release). But I'll have a zombie for you soon!

Also, I don't know how scary I can make it. But I'll try my damnedest.

Thanks for all the support!

EDIT: Yes I'm also working on customs cursors

Looking good the video made me LOL

Loved the Knife in the head

and the zombie eating him

Don't zombies normally go for the brain?

The Suitor · Sat 29/03/2008 22:52:06

I'm more of a Romero fan, whom zombies go for the warm flesh

I think the guy who made Return of the Living dead (whom co-wrote the original Night of the Living dead with Romero) his zombies go for brains and can't be killed.

But I'm glad you all enjoyed it

Doors to outside and to wind are.... bugged? They're bad painted. Look at the upper part of those doors... repair it

Wow, those zombies remind me of the vampires in that poorly made xbox 360 game, Vampire Rain. For the 360 they were poorly animated as they ran to attack you, but for AGS, good work!

ShadeJackrabbit · Sun 30/03/2008 21:51:52

Looks great! Awesome zombie eating. I think the animation should jump slightly less though. Maybe have the zombie smack Jack down to the floor before eating him.

Mr.T · Sun 30/03/2008 22:04:07

YEAH! We have to run from them

Me like!!

TwinMoon · Sun 30/03/2008 22:52:09

Wow! I hope there's lots of zombies to kill in this, I like action/adventure hybrids.

The Suitor · Mon 31/03/2008 04:52:55

Yes, the zombie eating animation is a bit jumpy. Right now I'm just focusing on technical stuff, such as scripting and piecing things together. Later, I'll work out the fine details. Anyway, this thread has inspired me a lot to keep going! Thank you for all the good comments.

This looks very nice!

Can't have enough zombies in games!

I will definetly try it when you release it.

Snake · Mon 31/03/2008 14:04:50

Sweet video!

Finish finish finish finish finish!

Do you have a time where it might be close to finished?
Can't wait for this!

I'm hoping to have it in beta stage by mid-summer. I've taken a break from it for the past couple of days to refresh my mind, I've been paying too much attention to the scripting and getting aggravated with it. (plus my eyes hurt from staring at the screen for so long). But, I've planned to finish rest of the graphics before going anymore into scripting.

About the graphics, I have about 5-10 different zombies to draw and about ten more rooms. Also, a couple of secondary characters. Still have to write a more detailed story and an ending. A load more objects and puzzles. Then comes the fine details.

I'm a slow but steady worker. It might take me more time than a normal medium-length game would to make, considering my wife and daughter. But my spare time goes into this, so I'll have it finished sooner or later

Darcness · Fri 04/04/2008 12:10:50

Ah yes! Zombies!

This game looks like it could be a heck of a lot of fun, and there just aren't enough horror-based AGS games out there.

I shiver in antici...............pation.
