All "Title" Backgrounds Completed!
Posted 26th Feb 10, by Sumo148  
Yay! I have redrawn all the backgrounds for almost all of the "title frames". Now the whole app resembles a forest in a way. I have a bunch of pictures to show you guys, but let me say a few things first. I have only recieved the info concerning the "credits graves" from two people (WillWill and Taco). I'm going to start Pm'ing all of you soon so I can get that part done. I don't know if I said this before, but we are working on the solo mode at the moment, so when thats finished we know exactly whats going to be in the online portion. Suprisingly the solo mode is almost completed I can list all of the factor that are missing right now, actually:

Buying Weapons
Remembering the "ammo" for each gun
The rest of the A.I

For the buying weapons, all I have to do is maybe use a few global strings and a list and volia, it's done. The ammo may be a little tough...at first I thought an array to store all of the values would be great, but it's not really working out so I may have to go with lists/counters. Finnally, CakeSpear is working with the A.I. We've sucessfully completed advanced LoS, Zombie Hearing, and Perfect zombie collision. He said that if he's not finished tweaking the collisions, he's start working on the pathfinding next week.

U.2 has also been working hard and developed a new track for the "title music", which will fit well with the forest scenery. I thought there were a bit too many wolf howls, so he said he would take a few out. What do you think?

And now for the photos! There will be multiple mud paths to take...and there will be signs to navigate your way through the menu. In order to somehow incorperate "lobby", "chat room" and "custom games" into the mood, I added them as books. You can click on the book stand and you can view that frame as if you looking at a book... It was the best I could think of

Oh, almost forgot There will be multiple difficulties for the solo play. In addition, at the end of the solo mode, you can view your difficulty, final wave, and final number of points that you accumulated. You will be able to save that frame as a PNG photo or you can print it out.

Okay! Here's the photos!

I wanted to put off my homework so I made this: http://jollycrouton.com/Uploads/images/ZombieSwarm2.png

If you like it but have suggestions, shoot. I can also send a version with just "ZS" if you like it.
