Halfway there, here’s an update…

Okay, so I just out an update up on my own blog, but here I am to do one for you guys and gals too.

So my game seems to be coming along nicely. I did all of the preliminary level design work in the past few hours. The scenario I ended up going with was that the main character is trapped in a mall and is trying to fight off the horde and make his way out. To get out, he needs to reach the security room in the bottom right corner and hit a switch, then go out the exit. It’s simple, but it works. Here is a glimpse of what it will look like:

After planning the level i took some time to implement it in-game. I still haven’t added the win scenarios or anything, but the level itself works, and zombies are mostly spawning in the right places. Now I need to start laying down pickups, creating the events that allow you to win, and creating doors. Should be a fun time.

Anyway, I hope everyone else’s game is coming along well, and I’ll try to come back soon with the next update. :)
