does no one notice the name of the thread is splatter game? what is a splatter game without excessive splatter? yes true... but would you spit out 10-20 bucks to buy this in its current state? just asking? i mean, how long could you shoot a slow moving zombie horde with a shogun before all that gore got boring? if he adds ONE fast type, maybe the dude with tha chainsaw, then it would make sense... zombies are dumb, we know but they should be feared not ran at because you wanna make tomato juice...

there can´t be enough splatter in a splatter game. See analog the one and o n l y and real splatter movie "brain dead, uncut".
@dark... I tink ... the game is not finish. To early to discuss the final result. ...have you ever played "postal 1" ?
...have you ever played "postal 1" ? The only thing to do is to kill civilians. Nothing more. A true killer game.
And after every level, I listened to the very dark industrial soundtrack, checked my violence... and asked myself "what am I doing?? Is it fun to kill people??"
Splatter, Gore, Killing... is a very unexplainable thing. You can´t think and judge by your mind. These things are very specific.
As my wife saw my video with the axe... she was very helpless and looked at me very strange. She asked me why I am doing this.
oh... I said... only because of the cool scirpting. But I was not sure about it.
So it is not the right point to say... this is "boring". Only my thoughts.

They probably will add faster enemies at some point. The game is obviously not finished and seeing as how this is the same people responsible for glider - collectnkill, and that one business game, both fully finished successful projects, I assume they are far off from finishing it.

Megaman 9 is so 1990. Just think about it.
Great game, alpha Wrong thread? Megaman 9 is the NEW game, but looks like the old games (8 bit style) and it sells very well. So what's wrong with games being "1990"? I'm just p*ssed about how cowabanga maligns everything without saying anything valuable. on topic: I really like the slow mo effect, sounds should really be replaced ("Welcome to Quake 3 Arena"), zombie models as well (yeah, wip). What I don't like is the grenade explosion which looks a little old fashioned. Some volumetric smoke would be cool here.

If you want to keep with a pure "shoot dumb zombies in masses" idea, and dont want to go into a tactical (Battlefield) or adventure (halflife) type of gameplay, you could include the following:
-add a level/mission goal to the game, that bases on the speed that you kill the zombies, and the "pickups" that they drop
similar to a classical spaceshooter, where the enemies are also quite dumb.
In one level for example its the goal to kill zobies for points, in a limited time. When you do that, you get a "time extend"
In another level make a "zombierush" spawning masses of zombies comeing from doors, the goel is to survive as long as possible.
In another level, make the levelpath quite linear, the goal is just to reach the end-door in the quickest time possible, the zombies drop powerups and give points.
In another level, make the player move on a fixed path, (like a train). the player can just turn and shoot.
(p.s. a flamethrower would be nice too)
