Lab of the Dead
I've been super busy still trying to finish Lab of the Dead. It's a hard project to finish, especially since it's my first multiplatform release, flash, android and iOS, that's not a trivial task, but I'm learning a lot and the next games will go more smoothly. The flash version and the android versions are pretty final and solid. I've had some crashes on the android after long playing sessions but I think I've fixed that...hopefully. On the iOS side (iPhone, iPad), I'm still waiting for Apple to approve my business status. In the meantime I can't get what I need to test on the devices so it's pretty hard to work on the versions but once I'm approved, it shouldn't take too long, since everything is the same except the resolutions. So hopefully it will be limited to visual tweaks.
What's Next?
After Lab of the Dead, our immediate plan is to make a little mobile application with a chinese master sitting on a mountain and telling you cool/deep/zen proverbs and stuff :D Just a little app that'll be done in no time. There are already chinese proverb apps out there but they're all pretty crappy and mostly text-only, ours will be pretty, will have cool music and be voice acted. Should be neat!
Our next real project is a first person boxing game that takes place on an alien planet where you're held captive and must fight to survive. You'll upgrade your fighting skills and unlock special powers through the use of injectors, chemical boosters directly plugged into your body :D More on that later but this game should wrap up 2011 for Evil-Dog Productions. If you wanna try to imagine what that game could/would/might look like, check this other first person boxing game...it's in 3D and ours will be 2D but yeah....you get the idea...ours will just be more brutal, dark and gory.
2012 should start with us resuming our work on Mage Apocalypse which I'd say was about half done so that should be up and working in no time (yeah right!). Keep in mind this is all me and SickDeathFiend, we make a good team, we're gonna continue working together.
Road of the Dead 2
That project is still far away but someone told me about an old game called Outlander on the megadrive/genesis consoles and asked if Road of the Dead 2 will have scavenging and stuff and I must say, it looks a lot like what we're planning for Road of the Dead 2, minus the zombie apocalypse. Check this out!
It looks more like Mad Max but yeah, Road of the Dead will be in the wastelands and you'll be fighting against raider gangs on motorcycles and trucks. You'll be doing road stops to do some scavenging although it won't be side scrolling like that, it will rather be a shoot and take-cover kind of gameplay...just thought it was funny to see this old game that's pretty much Road of the Dead 2 :P Did I travel back in time?
Zooommmmbbiiieeeesss.....
Well that's all for now! Cheers!
