So. Jeff and I came up with this concept for a game, where you pretty much have to drive along the motorway in your mashed-up banger of a car, running down zombies and soldiers in a post-apocalyptic world, whilst attempting to gather supplies in the form of water and scrap parts, to upgrade your car. We love the idea, and so the project is a go.
The name of the game? Run ‘em Down: Zombie Apocalypse
We’ve begun working on the necessary coding required for the game, and we already have a whole bunch of basic features built. Things like realistic vehicle movement, randomly appearing enemies and obstacles, damage, and points. This, however, is only the tip of the iceberg, and there is a whole load more to get done, not to mention the fact that all of the art at the moment is nothing more than coloured squares (except for a few concept drawings).
We have no deadline, as this started as – and still is – a learning project. Fortunately though, we are very happy with how things are going, and we are committed to getting this project going full steam ahead, and making a game that will be entertaining not only the first time, but every other time too.
We should be updating fairly often on the progress of this project, as well as posting updates on visuals, and possibly even gameplay demos.
