So I've been away from my computer... a lot. I've been working weekends (travelling parts of UK) and have had about 2-3 hours a week (tops). I've been in contact with FAPCOM though, he's still working on the Cerberus animation (and having a slight bit of trouble with it).
This update contains the Laboratory which you can find in the "Extras" section. It contains 6 backgrounds and 6 lighting effects, but please, send some more backgrounds in! I really want to add a bit of fan content into the game, so this is your chance to chip in! (I will not be making any backgrounds)
However, this update also contains a few bug fixes (one of which kept me frustrated for 4 hours yesterday), such as the zombie health (post-sex) bug, and the 'sprite not existing' bug, as well as a couple of others.
As someone in the comments put, there really is no way I can release something that will make you all feel the time spent was worth it, but I do spend most of my time working in real life.
I hope you all enjoy this update, I'll try and keep you all 'in the loop' a bit more. As always, thanks for your continued support.
Z
P.S. I still need to add a little credit thing for whoever sent the background. In the meantime, thanks to InsaneBrain for sending backgrounds 2-6!
P.P.S. I probably shouldn't have added "Prostitute" as a choice for the outfit!
P.P.P.S. Please check the last post for repsonses to your questions/feedback/etc.
74mb is pretty big for a game made in game maker
ReplyDeleteMusic takes up a bit since it has to be saved and played in .WAV format. I'll try to reduce the quality some more without turning it into inaudible noise
DeleteIt doesn't have to be .WAV
DeleteTry one of these:

Ah, thanks. I've heard of OGG files being used in GM games before, I'll look into it more.
DeleteThis is just the laboratory right?
ReplyDeleteno nothing new?
Hey, something is better than nothing in my books, and at least we know they still live :p
DeleteWell there's also the merchant screen and some bug fixes. Check the changelog for details on what was done.
DeleteIf I may make a suggestion :3 It would be awesome if the bartender did the merchant voice when your buying stuff xD
ReplyDeleteI do plan to have a voiced merchant, didn't want the bartender to have the voice though.
DeleteAside from content requests, the only real gripe I have is that you can't move diagonally. Also some doors are hard to find, especially when you go into that store with the two green herbs.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll find a way to make the doors more noticeable. Also, I know this has come up a couple of times already, but I tested diagonal movement, it was really buggy and made it too easy to avoid enemies.
Delete(forgot my password but im Zero) found a big glitch, if you try to buy something in the bonus features but not save it, all the ones you bought but didn't save (like the cheats for example) disapear from the menu when you go back and it will still take it from your points like you did (the spots where the "chear" menu should be is still "???" btw)
ReplyDelete>:C Why is there always one glitch that slips through the cracks...?!
Delete(same guy lol) thats why you've got your good buddy here to help you out lol
Deletegood to hear from you here again!
ReplyDeleteso no new cerberus animation right? guess i will wait until its done! :)
but thanx for the update! just being around and giving us even a little news will make us happy ^^
Yeah I want to have the next release be a larger one with a new area as well as the cerberus animation and some other stuffs. I'll try to update a bit more :)
DeleteThanx dude ur the best :)
Deletecant wait to see the next update :D
Where is this mysterious prostitute costume you speak of anyway?
ReplyDeleteOh, it was in response to the poll outcome.
DeleteNice, costume and new features. I hope all goes well for you irl and this project will flourish. Best of luck with cerberus
ReplyDeleteWhat new costume? There isn't a new one yet. All there is the Xmas outfit and the medic one.
DeleteSo can you unlock the prostitute costume? Also, how?
ReplyDeleteThe link got taken down :(
ReplyDeleteperhaps you might consider mega?
ReplyDeletemediafire has blocked the latest demo, can you please fix this problem?
ReplyDeleteThat mediafire... They deserve a special place in hell.
ReplyDeleteWhen I tried the new release I found the Laboratory to be bugged as I was unable to view and of the Zombie/Cerberus interactions correctly and only the stains were visible, none of the character/enemy models.
ReplyDeletefunny, worked just fine for me, but with a few zombie interactions, there was no dialogue. but i did see the models
DeleteI just tried it again and it worked this time. I found the problem: I went through the character list before trying it and accidentally must of selected one of the ??? placeholders. Do that and you'll see what I did.
DeleteThere is a small bug in the main stage (The one outside the bar). In the bottom left side of the map, you can pass throught the barriers. The boundaries of movement there are bugged, and you can even walk outside the screen or even walk on top of buildings.
