Topic, Game "Captain Dan v Zombie Plan"

  I have 2 suggestions: make the aim follow the mouse if possible and make some 3D animations for the person ;D

  sometimes my personage starts on an other point then i placed hm and back to the editor he is moved to that place.


(suggestion:what about a zombie who can hit switches?)

  Right, forgot about that one.

EDIT: done

  yes but what about a grid ?

  Just added limits to the player, he can no longer go outside the specified size of the map.

gameinsky - yeah, that's actually been a glitch for a long time, I'm surprised nobody has brought it up before now. The obvious solution here is don't put zombies inside of walls. Future versions of the game will just stop you from being able to do this though.

  yay cool!

[edit]
there is stil a big problem:when i place a zombie on a wall in the editor and test it it says an error about somethings with the script , when i return to the level editor i'm stuck , can't hit any button!

suggestion:what about a power up who makes you invulnerable for x seconds ?

  Alright everyone, the editor is fixed now!

I added a move button to the menu, it allows you to edit the placement of zombies, their paths, switches, and where the switches go to.

I'm pretty sure all the weird glitches with the delete function are fixed now too, but some extra testing from you all is more than welcome.


For my sake, I'm reposting the to do list, but if you see anything you want fixed that isn't on here, let me know.

*better targeting
*differing zombie graphics
-stealth zombie not working
-more zombie types:
--super: always running
--teleporter: moves other zombies closer to you, can't kill you
--digger: basically is just able to go through walls
^text/info tile for editor
*sound
-custom controls
-add title screen
*target sometimes persists after game over
*work out a better system for depth management

  Just a quick note here, I'm starting to recreate the editor now, and I think for some of the tests I'll have to upload it online.

So if the editor is completely broken for a bit, please don't freak out, it's just because I'm making it better.


EDIT: happy 100th comment, Sneakers!

  I think many of the problems comes from the editor... but even though it's still in test phase and even though it's not perfect I think this is a incredible game ;D fun to play and some 3d features :D

  =.(

  Ugh, it seems my game is thoroughly broken...

gameinsky - hopefully I'll be able to fix the glitches you mentioned when I recreate the editor in a few days.

ninja - the switches thing sounds like more depth problems...*sigh* And yeah, they should be golf, but I haven't got around to changing that yet.

Sillius - your glitches confound me the most...I have absolutely NO idea why your level Secret Rooms is acting so oddly.

I can, however, add a move feature to the editor when I remake it.


Also, for the last time, I'M CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING ANY MORE TESTERS, IF THIS CHANGES I WILL MAKE A POST LETTING YOU KNOW. Please read the comments and be patient until then.

  this weird before you guys were testers this guy could play and he isn't a tester.his name is lineplus.ok im getting bored playing those other games and i want but don't need to be a tester so i have somthin to do.

  If you read all the comments you can see what the game is about...

  wats the game about cause i can think of stuff. tell me every thing u have already. i dont want to be a tester but an idea giver.

  I recall to everybody that "I want to be a tester" doesn't mean "I want to play the game". Being a tester will require that you provide useful feedback.

  Can i be a tester, or somthing?

  And also come up with nice suggestions for the game.

  zach, you are not tester to play it sooner but to find bugs and tell the creator those bugs you found

  Yes you need to be a tester to play it.

  how come its not working for me? do i have to be a tester to play? if i do i want to be a tester.gtg be on at 4-5ish.tell me if i can or cant be a tester when i get home.or as soon as possble.

  It is not just in the beginning screen it is everytime.

  I had to recreate the level 3 times and when It was finished the 3rd time the zombies began to bug :S

I just tried Zombie Mansion (Captain Dan v Zombie Plan) again, but this time the zombie in the bottom bugged pretty much... in the first 2 rounds there were a corpse moving around with a + switch as head the next round the zombie worked normal for 10 secs then it dropped it's head and the last rounds the zombie's corpse moved around and changed between 2 heads: 1 of them just lied on the ground and it dropped it's head when it walked over the other head...

I've found another bug: You can get stuck in the walls.

  The same thing happened to me. I got the gun and pressed the switchs. But then 1 of the zombies died and after a while all the other zombies became "fake".

  you never believe , when i played you level and hit the switch , some zombies died randomely , other stopped and becomed 'fake'

  I also think it should be possible to move the zombies and sometimes I can't exit the selection screen :p

PS: I know what Zakko600 means... If you go to the upper-left corner in the "loading screen" you can go out of the map and appear on the other side of the wall.

I just made the level Secret Rooms (Captain Dan v Zombie Plan) and I noticed that more and more stealth zombies began to appear... nad every time you kill a zombie their corpse appears at the same place as the stealth zombie.

  The switches are still bugging for me. They happen to remove/place walls at places their not supposed too, and sometimes they only place half of a wall.

Shouldn't the scores be set to golf instead of classic?

  sometimes i delete some zombie's in the editor but they seem stil enterring the level...
and when i quit-go back the walls are stil here, the hidden zombie's also.
there is also a zombie who is like i just placed it and as to do his path
and i can't delete him!

also a toolwrench would be useful if you make any mistake

  Yes captain_404.

  woudln't it be easyer with a grid ?

  @Sillius - in walls I think the switch you talking about is supposed to do that...although I'm still a bit unclear on what happened from your description. Also, the editor currently isn't yet able to handle the substantial changes in gameplay I've made recently, once I get the time I plan to rewrite it and make it more functional again. For now, when you want to make a new level you'll have to refresh the page.

@gameinsky - Yes, that's supposed to happen. Do you think it shouldn't, does it feel counter intuitive?

@Zakk0600 - erm...what? It's is not possible at all to "jump" in this game, do you mean that if you get outside the map and touch the wall it warps you back in?

@jp - The less visible target is to reinforce the idea that you'll have to aim more precisely now, that the targeting system has changed. You are right though, it can be hard to see. Perhaps I could eliminate the triangles and keep the white circle? I'll also increase the radius and see how that affects gameplay.

Yeah, once I get up different graphics for every type I plan to let the SZ fade in and out. Need to add that to the to do list.

And like I said earlier in this post, the editor will get remade in the next few days, I'll be sure to include this in it.
