I’m super excited Zombie Tales got a little write up in Indie Game Mag Mobile<\/a>!!!!<\/p>\n

Charles <\/a>Ferrendelli<\/a>\u00a0really did dig below the surface of what looks like a generic Zombie shooter and understood my philosophy behind making this game. Now I’m starting work on porting across the [tesseract] level editor so there is a lot more to come.<\/p>\n

Anyways back to blogging my progress:<\/p>\n

I spent a few hours atlas mapping some of the stock models I have – so re uvmapping 14 War torn buildings with 14 2048×2048 textures down to 14 buildings into 2 1024×1024 textures. They are a bit soft when you get close to them, but it will have to do for the moment.<\/p>\n

I’ve started work on the level editor, and the first step is building the GUI interface… and thats a bit boring working out all the logic for the menus. But I did have to make a few buttons, and one little tip.<\/p>\n

I can never figure out what to use for a main menu button, a home button or something else. This time I used 3 “i”s lying on their side Arial Rounded font… and I thought “that’ll do nicely!”<\/p>\n

Hopefully that makes sense to most people, I’d love to know what you think some of these icons mean below??<\/p>\n
