yeah thats true you need a special kind of feature in the game to make it cool. How about Injections you can give youself or drugs or anything to impropve you skill^^

darkinferno got a point here, the enemies seem like simple cannon-fodder. I know zombies are actually cannon-fodder, but games like Left4Dead prove that the times of these are over;
A fast moving zombie would relly give a reason to save slow motion; It would rise the level.

I'm a shader-whore, so here goes:
(I know eye-candy comes last for a game, but most other things have already been mentioned)

- The bullet effect in slowmo looks cool, but you clearly see it's just a cylinder with a refraction shader once you move around the effect. You can do better than that, i know it Maybe add an inverted velvety shader and use that as alpha?

- As already mentioned, the zombies don't really fit the overal style, the lighting is too toony and looks flat. I don't know if normalmaps are supplied with the modelpack, but if you have them, use them. Add a shader which adds normalmapping for detail and better lighting, (little) specular lighting and velvety for depth, environment mapping so the limbs look as if they are still wet of blood. Maybe you could add a little refraction to the limbs instead of environment mapping, as you already have the refractmap for the bullet effect? This could actually look better and more "wet" than environmentmapping.

- Add shadows. There is no better method (besides sound) to add athmosphere to a zombie game. Either use A7's accelerated stencil shadows with LOD or a shadowmapping shader. I think that would add a lot to the overall look and athmosphere

- You have a refractmap, maybe you can also use it to spice up the explosions? That way you also get fake soft particles and a more firey look, if done right.



Looking forward for more vids!

sounds a lot like bioshock xD

The zombies ideas is so 1990.

Megaman 9 is so 1990. Just think about it.

Great game, alpha

looks very good. but that shotgun is little annoying - it's sound of reloading after each shot. maybe if you could shoot more bullets before reload.

also i agree, limit the blood splashes.

about the tone and textures and different types of zombies - i believe that was your plan and you'll add them in your game

Wrong thread?

does no one notice the name of the thread is splatter game? what is a splatter game without excessive splatter?

yeah, but there's too much splatter even for a splatter game
