Welcome to another GOMBIES Update, today's update is more about the Greenlight Games studio and myself Dean, the Founder. A lot has been going on over the last month and I feel it has just settled down enough for me to be able to tell everyone!
Young Startup Talent
So starting from the top, the Young Startup Talent competition held their awards night on Monday, over 50 young entrepreneurs signed up and that was dwindled down to a final 5. Me included! I've been waving the flag for Greenlight Games over the last 4 months and it has finally paid off..
Yup, that's right. I WON! It has to be one of my happiest days to date, the pride this gave myself, family and friends is unbelievable. I was awarded with this awesome little trophy, a framed certificate, a chocolate champagne bottle & a YST pen. Oh, plus the 50K prize that came with it. This brings a lot of sponsors to the table, who're now offering their services to Greenlight Games for one or two years. Services such as..
Plus many more than I'm not going to list for both of our sakes. So that's great news, extremely happy to have won it and looking forward to meeting all the Sponsors and working with them in the future! You can read the announcement on the YST Blog here, including details on how to sign up!
Multi Award Winning
I thought it would be worth listing my qualifications and awards I now have under my belt, for fellow Students, Graduates & Indies to reflect upon.
Mitre Passage
If you've got me on Facebook, you might remember a while ago me talking about GG moving into No.6 Mitre Passage. This was in agreement with the University of Greenwich at the beginning of the year, which they sadly went back on. But amazingly I received a follow-up email earlier this week, stating they might be able to pull it off after all - for 12 months! So we'll see how that goes.
New Games
On the Greenlight Games website, you can view all of our games both released & under development. If you have a look, you'll see two new games have appeared! This is on the 'Our Games' page.
I'm not going into detail on these right now, but they're being developed by two separate teams within GG. You'll notice some new faces on our Team Listing under the 'About Us' page too. But we're not stopping there! We're aiming to partner with a new startup company who're creating an amazing online cloud based platform for Android, IOS & Unity. Things like Multiplayer, Leaderboards, Achievements & In-App Purchases. Not only this, the other Indie Team we hope to join ranks with is still in discussion. In fact a meeting is booked for that tonight!
GOMBIES News
So I'd imagine you're wondering, 'What about GOMBIES?' Well, over the last few months we've made some good progress. Things like getting our main charactered modeled, animated & in game! With a basic GOMBIE also modeled, animated and in game with basic AI! We have basic player controls plus have been working with the networking side of things and now have some basic network synchronising! We're being quiet about GOMBIES right now on purpose, we're pushing towards an Alpha Demo harder than ever and our next update will be all about that.
We've also taken on two new members to the team, John Velgus & Spencer Havens. They're working tirelessly on the GOMBIES Story, Game Mechanics and other stuff to make the game more fun, interesting and understandable. But all hush hush for now!

Our Founder Dean Day has an interview with SU Productions for their Indie Dev Spotlight!
Hello, and good morning or good afternoon to whichever time you are reading this next exciting GOMBIES Dev Blog. My name is Paul, I am yet another 3D...
Here we are with another news update for GOMBIES! We're hoping to explain a few things about the Alpha Demo and also to ask for your moral support!
Nathan discusses his rigging & animation process within GOMBIES.
watching!
Wow, thank you so much. That means alot!
Is the main character can level up and get some perk or something? Btw, good work guys. It's nice to see another zombie game with different zombie concept. I mean, no brain eater but still dangerous, cool. Waiting for your trailer video. :)
Hey Garokz. Right now the characters have 'perks' or 'powerups' built in, which you can use throughout the game. Levelling up isn't something we have discussed and I'm not sure if it would fit into the 'story' of the game. But it's a suggestion we will keep in mind!
Glad you like the idea behind GOMBIES, we hope to release more of the concept and storyline including character details soon. :)
Thanks for getting involved!
We can see you! Yes, you! Reading our content!
