Revealed 15 minutes of alpha 100% game footage. In video depicted initial cutscene, and first steps of player where you build your village (and get raided by barbarians).
As ingame days pass, other villages do appear and even grow into towns with defensive walls.
Deliveries are now required for Vending Machines and Vending Machine Shelving. Product no longer appears out of nowhere, you'll need to have it delivered. Free deliveries occur once per day then there's a fee after that. Check it out!
The plan for the next month is to add this system to both cleaning and machine repairs. I've also noticed that the employee hiring menu still needs some fixes. Once that work is complete, Update 13 will move to the main branch and work on Update 14 will begin!
Right now, the nose piercing is focused on the septum, but if there’s enough interest, I’d love to expand it to other areas of the nose in future updates. This actually turned out to be one of the easiest accessories I’ve ever implemented: once attached to the character’s head, it follows position and rotation perfectly.
This one required a lot more work.
Because the character has a pregnancy blendshape, the stomach can expand, so the piercing needed to dynamically follow those changes. To handle this I created precise position data for every 10 points on the blendshape (from 0 to 100), and the system automatically lerps the in-between values (e.g., 15, 27, 32) for a perfectly smooth transition.
There are currently two navel piercings available in the store, and they behave beautifully no matter the body state.
Those items will be available in the next build, which is planned to release this month. The patch notes are massive this time and will include the first part of a new level.
Meanwhile, If you have ideas for new piercing locations or want different styles for the nose or navel area, feel free to tell me!
This fixes a couple of issues such as:
Wall that previously had no collision at the Igneferia's second floor now does, unless cow switch is active.
Changed overlay tiles in the Forest of the Worlds map (You don't know what that is)
Updated fonts
Included fonts, so that the game doesn't rely on a fallback font that spills over text boxes.
That's it? Not really
Additional dialog has been added to the 1st floor TV if Zerca is in your party
Now
That's it.
I have now decided to release the demo of The Undead Files with the store page going live. It is currently in a bare bones state but this is intentional as I want to shape the game around what you, the community, want to play. I have ideas I want to implement but theres are unrealistic so if the playerbase wants a realistic old school zombies game I can keep it grounded. These include lightning guns and wind cannons etc. I am currently aware of a few issues which I'm working on now.
Thanks for giving my game a try and hopefully I can make this game awesome with feedback.
