Escape From Zombie Island 2 ready for public consumption

[Cloner4000]

Is the unit animation the last of the touch up? I think if you put a generic unit and then add the graphic after it's done. So the tester can get a feel of the game/bugs but I suppose you already did the preliminary bug testing.

 

[Vuldacon]

Cloner4000... The last of the "Touch up" is replacing some of the existing units with new units that are more appropriate. That has already been accomplished for the most part. The Game settings are already complete for all the units. New Unit replacements and finishing the Civilopedia Entries for the new units and game additions are all that remain. As Far as the Game play, that is Ready. King Arthur has been very busy and I have been working on many different areas to complete the game. Should be able to have the Testers play it very soon and the release will follow that. Really want to get the Cars for the game made and added but that will not hold up the last Testing. We will let everyone know soon when the Upload for the Last Test Play will be. The main problem with having the game tested and following the feedback and posting is there are new units remaining to be made and keeping up with posts and testers etc... will slow down the process of completing the last units that need to be in before the Release. This game is at the "Finish Line" so stay tuned...it will not be long now.

I don't know if you guys saw this, but NavyDawg made an Ash unit which just begs to kick some B-movie zombie ass. You guys maybe could add him somewhere?

 

[Spacer One]

that Ash Unit seems perfect for the Hero...but, I havent seen what unit you are using for him...

 

[Cloner4000]

Well..he can switch off for some of the existing survivor unit...if intergreated one is too late. Of corase more work for Vuldacon..but still lol. Off the top of my head, he would look a better replacement for the Mike guy. but who knows.

 

[odintheking]

Yeah, maybe he's a good Mike Rush, or maybe a new unit entirely (I'm working on Hannibal units.)

 

[jubnub]

that would be cool

 

[Lord Shadow]

Any news?

 

[Vuldacon]

Lord Shadow... Yes, we have a New Hannibal that was just completed. odintheking has been working hard on the Hannibal Units and the first Hannibal turned out Great.
I just completed the New Rushmobile which is a 1971 Barracuda and should have the sounds finished tomorrow. King Arthur has been extremely busy at work but is also working on the Game Text Files to finalize them.
Basically, Just have the remaining cars to work out for the game...there are three more wanted but I am considering how to handle them in order to get the Release out sooner.

Great, thanks for the information.

 

[Vuldacon]

NavyDawg's Ash unit has been added as the Champion for the Survivors. I adjusted the sounds and animations so they play more Synchronized for the game.

The 1971 Barracuda has been added as the Rushmobile and I am continuing to work on the remaining needed Cars.

Plotinus and I have been discussing the Monster Zombie and the possibility of collaborating to make the unit. This will probably be added as an Update for the game after the release so we have time to play around to make an Awesome Unit.

The current intention is to release the game by June so it will be uploaded for the Testers to play sometime very soon.

...The current intention is to release the game by June....

That's 2-3 months away.....

 

[Cloner4000]

2month actually...a little bit faster for the tester. but all the addition sounds great...can't wait for it

 

[Vuldacon]

That's 2-3 months away

The Omega... Actually it is exactly 5 weeks and 3 days until June 1st There has been a tremendous amount of work accomplished and just the Text Files and remaining cars to complete.
One reason why the game has not been uploaded for the testers is because of the work that remains to be completed, if the game was tested now, it would "eat into" the time needed to complete the remaing work. Answering questions and intertaining the array of ideas that people have tends to take up a great deal of time.
...Rest assured that the work is going as fast as possible and we hope to have it officially released by early June.

June 1st... Sweet... Nice birthday present.

Hope all goes well and to schedule.

June 1st... Sweet... Nice birthday present. Hope all goes well and to schedule.

Bluemofia Yes, indeed...should make that date if all goes according to plan. Not My Birthday but I will celebrate just the same. King Arthur and I will drink a toast to this release for sure

 

[Cloner4000]

kanpai....well June first....around the time I'll be done with school....and then fight my way thourgh zombie infested city. Great vacation plan. XD

 

[egroen]

The new amazon martial arts unit would fit in well here.

And I cannot remember if the Lara Croft unit is used in this scenario?

 

[Plotinus]

She is, or at least she was last time I saw it.

 

[Vuldacon]

Yes, Lara Croft "Tomb Raider" is "Natasha" with the Company.

I made a new palette and adjusted the animations for the BMW that la_dav made a while back...it is the Company Car.

Just completed the "Super Coupe" unit. It is the Car produced from "Mike's Auto Shop" at the Garage. I will be uploading it soon. I also remade the Death for the Barracuda to improve it.

The Car that was used as the Previous "Rushmobile" is now set as the "Motor Car" that is produced at the City Car Park.

Cars cannot be built in the game now...they are all produced at Key Locations. All Factions have transportation from the start of the game and all Human Factions can capture any of the Key Locations to gain the Troop Trucks, Super Coupes and Motor Cars. This provides the ability for a player to gain more transportation on both sides of the Island no matter what Faction is played.
...So the cars are now completed.

I expect "Badass Hannibal" will be completed before the Release but "Flamin' Hannibal and the Pyromaniac units for the Survivors and Farmers will probably be added after the release as Updates along with a New Monster Zombie.

We will see about getting the Game Uploaded for the Testers as soon as possible. The Game Release date of June 1st appears to be On Schedule
