[Preview]: Zombie Minigame
 

Hello Fellow Graalians! I, along with a few extremely talented developers, have been working on a new little "minigame" and it's nearing completion!

I've attached an image below to show a little snippit of it, but I've also decided to include a little overview of how the minigame is played:
Basically, there is this level that you run into and an abundance of zombies spawn, and then every so many seconds another few zombies are put into play. You get points for each zombie you kill, the points are determined by a simple formula: (x * y) + z. x representing the damage the zombie does per hit, y being the walkspeed of the zombie, and z representing the HP of the zombie. When you die, you will be spawned back into an inside room where you can view the leaderboards, and there may even be a point shop (still to be determined in the future).
You are told when you die what your final score is.

I was thinking about adding a co-op mode, but I don't know how well that would work.

Very nice :P

Awesome

This seems epic.

:D yo bboy help me my accounts banned for something i didnt do

Wait will this be an event at the event house or what?

Email [email protected] for further invetigations

Okay, here's a preview of Co-Operative mode if it is added in the future:

nice :D

id make the view bigger, the darkness shouldnt go to pitch black so quickly, needs to be more subtle.

The darkness doesn't change; it's that way throughout the whole game.


Update; It seems that 2nd Generation iDevices cannot play this minigame. They crash upon entering and are not able to relaunch application.

3g and up? That's cool cause I have a 4g :3

Haven't tried iPod 3, but I know that iPod 2s can't run it and iPhone 4s can.

Well 1g would absolutely crash if it tried this minigame xD 4g would maybe survive the event.

iPod 2s can't even relaunch the app if they play this minigame. 4G can run the game, I had a few players test it. =)

what about ipad 2 or 3?

That's nice to hear cause I have a 4g. Anywho, I want to know, did the players who tested the minigame like it? Cause if they did I would be very excited for the release of this event.

An iPad 2 or 3 has a much better processor than an iPod 2...

Yeah, they really seemed to enjoy it.

Awesome! When/if people try the event, you should somehow (idk yet) put a warning up saying "may cause vast crash and other harmful conflicts for 2g and 1g iPhones/iPods. Please do not do this event if you are playing one of those generations. Thank you ~ The iEra Staff Team" or something like that.

tysm bro, remember hirin ya on SL. you must of really improved :D I wish I could make stuff this cool lol.


the iPod 2 has limited RAM(128mb) so it may be overwhelmed by all the effects, as well as a very inferior gpu. Ipod 3 has the newer gpu and more RAM(256mb,assuming its not the 8 gb version thats actually an ipod 2)

idk how you're doing the darkness effect but it seems like its being anti aliased or something. maybe make it a simple circle of darkness. This worked on the Halloween quest on iclassic where you had to find things in the dark.

also I dont understand the points formula. multiplying the damage by speed and adding the hp seems kind of weird(assuming their power increases over time)

if the zombies never get to you the attack doesn't matter.

the more hp the zombies have, the longer it takes them to get to you making speed less depedant.

eventually later adding hp would lose meaning in points awarded compared to the speed and attack bonus.

also wouldn't spamming heals make the game easy? should probably limit the amount of consumable items you can use.

btw can I test it :O

I disabled healing, with the exception of valentine bombs (those take longer to heal; only reason I let it stay).

Their power doesn't increase over time, and I didn't make it multiply by the hp because it's too large of a integer/decimal.

I was considering changing it to a simple circle of darkness, but I don't think it would really add the same effect. I don't believe the darkness was an image, either, I'd have to check again.

Can i try this please? It looks awesome. My name in era Is my user and
My pc is in signiture ill be online soon thanks :)

bboy contributes alot in graal :)

Players have already tested it out. We'll just have to wait for the finished product.

I should have it done in a day or two. =o

Woot. Can't wait. Thank you for what I know is going to be a wonderful event by the way.

How about you slowly regain healtu naturaly. But very slowly. So it's not just you get pwnd by them undead mamas but you regain health fast so you don't die. But then no heart bombs or anything. Hmmm. Or you could make it so all they have is their guns, melees, and like a few minor healing foods. Just throwing out ideas.

its not just for the effect, but for the challenge right? reduced visibility makes it harder.

Yes. =D

If you havnt got someone to test it from ipod 3 then i would for ya

I am currently in possesion of an iPod 2, iPhone 3gs, and iPod 4 I can use to test.

If you make a shop for it, make a zombie outfit :3 body and all. Also maybe some epic zombie slaying weapons like the chainsaw or et someone to gfx up a special weapon or body or maybe even a house!

sorry, tric and i weren't thinking of old devices when we added the effect haha. Ill add in a filter so that if you're on a new device it shows that, otherwise it will just be a seteffect.

*claps*

If iera sparring doesn't appeal to me anymore. But this co op mode can!!

Nice, hope it is executed well. Best of luck Bboy and co!

Single-Player is done, will take a little while longer to get co-op working.

Ok :3 Good luck BBoy.

Yay please hurry dude i cant wait to play it :D

Hahaha, I can't wait either! Me and Engel kinda got addicted after testing it out =P its rreeeeeaaaaallllyyyy awesome! Good job dude!

Hmm.. Just thought of a way to add co-op, will test it out soon! =D

Ill make sure im online when you test it! ;)

Yay this means it might come out today or tommorrow :D so excite and cant wait

Is there a point system? Would be nice to have a leaderboard measuring like most points, most kills, longest time alive, highest wave, etc. Plus x amount of points could equal 1 token or EC, and theres a nice little prize shop with unique items, some with low prices that can be obtained in a few games and some that take tons of games to afford. Or zombies can drop unique stuff in-game.

Looks cool though.

think ya should release the single player system and have it record points that can be spent in case you actually release a shop later, and release coop as a later update.

Yes there is a point system. How many points you get are your score / 2.

Nice. If there is a store for it maybe make it so you can trade a rather large amount for an ec so when people get every item in the store they have something to play for besides fun(by then you would probably be sick of it XD)

also change "how many points you get are your score/ 2" to "how many points you get is your score / 2.


release it already :O

I'm looking forward to a point shop. If you need anybody to make a hat or any graphics for the shop just PM me through the forums and i'll do it :)

Yah do this please :0 i really want to play the zombies + era = super win :D. Release single player today so u have more time to perfect co op

The event was released! It's in the sewer above the 2012 sign. Waiting for my turn...

Srsly not anythi i expected :| the game might be fun but i cant even get in..add a qeue system dude like in spar
