After receiving an email asking if I had died, I figured now would be a good time to post a little announcement to talk about whats coming at the end of this month.

I have been working like crazy the last two months working on Online, as well as a plethora of other features, overhauls, and fixes for the game. I had intended on releasing the online update at the end of January, but it simply wasn't ready at that point. It would have been ugly, and let me tell you, the wait will be worth it!

So now I'm just going to show off some teaser pictures that might get you excited. Stay tuned!!

















Thanks for the support guys! n_n

Hey there folks!

This month I'm doing Networking for zp. Yep, Online play :) This little update is mostly a patch fixing some issues, but also adding a few new features! Also I recently added all new screenshots to the steam page for zombie party as well as edited the description. I updated the "current features" and filled out the remaining "planned features". Everything is looking realistic and the game will be due for release in the coming months, keep an eye out!

Zombie Party is also going to be coming to consoles ;)

New in 8.2 -
+ Minimap! A procedurally drawn minimap that can be used on any game mode, obviously fantastic for dungeon mode.
+ Balanced dungeon quite a bit. Totally new enemy spawning algorithm for more consistent difficulty.
+ Improved main menu a bit.
+ Right bumper on controllers now cycles to your next gun.
+ Made cheeseburgers collide with each other. (for Randy)

Fixed in 8.2 -
- Volume bug (volume setting wasnt changing volume)
- Window header
- Dungeon fountain bug


Minimap


Dungeons -



Adventure Mode -


And Bosses!


This month I have been working on Online mode, and so far it seems like its going to work out pretty nicely :) Stay tuned for the update at the end of January! Its gonna be big!

Hey guys, Today is the release of Zombie Party v8!

Happy Holidays guys!!!




The month of December was a big and busy month for me!

I got flown out to SF, California by my publisher, where I got to meet them in person and show off Zombie Party at a Indie Gaming Convention! It was amazing!




It was a great experience and quite motivating! I met quite a few other aspiring indie devs out there, including the developer of the game Delver. It was nice meeting like-minded individuals!


Now onto Update 8!

This update is massive overhaul to the dungeon gamemode. The dungeons are coming along really nicely! This update brings 2 new dungeons full of new content, 2 new dungeons bosses, Slimeking and Tikiboss, with procedural dungeon boss arenas, tons of new enemy types and behaviors, and a new game mode, Arcade. This update really brings the dungeons to life and paves the way for amazing future content!

Heres a list of the major stuff:
- Dungeon overhaul
- 2 new dungeons - Forest and Jungle dungeon.
- Forest Dungeon - Open grass plains full of mushroom trees, giant slimes, evil plants, and pitfalls.
Jungle Dungeon - Narrow stone hallways packed with vines, traps, spiders, fire mages, and epic loot!
- 2 new bosses - Slimeking and Tikiboss.
- Tikiboss is a 3 stage boss with 3 different attack styles!
- Tree of life! (rare)
- Tons of new enemies with new behaviors!
- New environmental effects!
- Revamped particle effects!
- New Music Tracks!
- Christmas secrets! ;)
- New HD art for Zomboss, Zombie Thug, and Zombie Spider Mommy.
- Complete Main Menu re-design.
- Fixed tons of bugs and made lots of adjustments and balances!
Full change log can be found in the in-game change log!

Next month is going to be just as busy! I am planning on taking on Online Multiplayer next month. Wish me luck :) Next month will also bring 2-3 new dungeon biomes, with bosses. It's going to be a busy month!

Stay tuned! Thanks for the support, as always, you guys are the best :)
