vb.0.3 ---MAIN CONTROLS--- WASD to move. Mouse to point your character. Space bar or click to swing your sword. E to activate Special #1 (unlocked at 25 kills) ---OTHER CONTROLS--- 0 to show/hide fps and zombro kill count. To-do: - Special attacks - Health bar [Done] - Zombie un-stacking [Done] - Music - Inventory? - Different zombie classes? - Better SFX - Better GFX - Really just better FX in general - Screen that appears after your character is defeated - Plants and stuff Devlog: Sept. 3, 2022 - Release! Also some last-minute changes. Tried to add the ability to zoom out and failed. Changed the spawning system to be less weird. Added a mechanic so the zombros wouldn't stack on top of each other. Sept. 4 - Other last-minute changes, such as adding the sprites for the first special attack - Earthquake. Also added a mobcap. Sept. 5 - Gave Earthquake the ability to do damage. The average FPS has dropped from 30 to 17 - I'll need to fix that. Sept. 6 - the FPS problem was just my Mac being too slow lol. Made the Earthquake special less op and annotated some of the code.
I've kinda abandoned this project. Don't expect changes, but have fun nevertheless! Credits: @griffpatch for his boids tutorial, that helped Also, I borrowed some snippets of code from his "chicks, boids, and turbo trails" project for optimizations and his raycaster video series for combatting weird stuff happening at low fps counts. @ccallahantow, for reminding me that scratch exists and for advice on the sound engine Scratch for the sword sound effect Me for the rest If you have any ideas for additional mechanics or abilities, feel free to put them in the comments! So this was originally going to be an RPG game. Then I thought, "hey, why don't I make an MMO PvP game?" Then I realized what a pain that was and made a PvE game instead. This game is like 98% pen, so beware, I guess. Everything but the loading screen and a few other things is drawn with the pen and stamp tools. ***NOTE*** Zombros are in no way associated with, affiliated with, a pseudonym for, or in any way imaginable connected with "zombies". Any similarities between zombros and "zombies" is entirely coincidental and should be disregarded. The game is fairly easy to alter due to the number of parameters (regen speed, attack damage, etc.) that can be messed with. Feel free to play around with a remix! Have fun :D
