Installer is back up. Sorry for the long wait.
The installer's about 350 MB, it unpacks to twice that amount. For those of you not in the know, this release will let you bomb through the introductory section and first level out of four planned levels. Check out this handy map for your visual reference pleasure:
Whether or not we'll actually be providing those other levels is a question to ask us some other time. Zombie Zoo's fate is still undecided beyond this release. The current release is very rough around the edges. Trust me, we're aware of this. That being said, learning these tools as we went along and starting out with a team of only four people (it ballooned to ten during the second semester), we're quite proud of the final product and hope you enjoy it for what it is.
If you're wondering what the deal with the preview image of this news post is, that strange red thing behind the text is Blobmonster. He was our quadruped stand-in we used in the game while we were still working on modeling and animating the animals. He came in red, yellow, and blue and he will be missed.
Also, I've uploaded the re-edited Introduction animation. It's very similar to what was up there before, just a few small changes and additions. Anyway, that's all. Go grab the mod and let us know what you think!
Love,
semicomatose and the rest of the Zombie Zoo team
The introduction and first planned level of Zombie Zoo. Enjoy.
For some odd reason as soon as i begin the game in the little cutscene thingy with the raccoon, i can shoot him with a invisible revolver thus glitching the game and not being able to continue, and I can still keep using it up until i push the first box where i lose it for some reason. Oo Oh and like some other people im also having a lot of "lag" during that cavern part and ive also noticed another glitch that for some reason even though i pushed the two boxes on to their places for some reason I cant go past the top of the first box. Its like theres some sort of invisible wall blocking me. (i had to use noclip to get past that part lol)
Epic fail. The game won't let me move and the racoon slowly walks up to me and blows up the barrel, instantly killing me and the racoon.
needs alot of work with mapping and needs better fighting system way to easy
We hear you on the mapping, they are not perfect. Keep in mind the game was made easy so as to tailor to a larger audience, it is by no means intended to be hard.
Difficulty levels. That is all.
I hope you get to fight a shark zombie as a boss in chapter 2
I think its a squid.
Awesome idea and artistic design. Although I thought that the areas we've seen need a little more detail it does look a little Halflife 1 at the moment. Also I was unable to skip the brilliant intro (shame I watched it on here while downloading should of waited). And When I was in the small cave it was very stuttery don't know what that was about. Loved all the signage especially the food menu. Anyway I'm rambling Keep up the good work and cant wait for the next release and more of the RACCOON!!!!!
it ws fun
Wait what!? Release already?! Wow.
