Back in black

Well, I didn't start of very well with this site. I guess I were busy or something when joining, but I'll try to be active from now on.

My old project "Spartan: Metal Warhead" pretty much got scrapped, like most of my projects often do.

On the other hand, I've started a bit with Game Maker again, and I have a project that's coming along quite well. At the moment it's called "THEY CAME FROM !?" and is a retro arcade styled platform shooter. And guess what?

You shoot zombies. Alot of them. Here's some screens for you to enjoy:

The menu. And the title is bouncing.

At the very beginning of the game, basicly.

Oh yea, he isn't just writing the words out for you, he says them to. In an ice cold smurf voice.

Well, that's all for now. If you guys want a demo of it, please say so and I'll post one in a little while with the first level or something. Worth mentioning is that it's kind of a 'half-exploration' game too. Every room is quite big, and you will have to search every corner to find hidden treasure or switches and so on. There's ammo boxes scattered over the levels because believe me, you will run out of ammo…

The screens shows a few zombies, but when you play you will encounter alot of them. None of them are smart, but there is variating types of them, like an infected bison running at you.

And yes, I have a fetish for gore, so the game is quite gory ( At least for it's retro graphics.)

Thank you and please comment :)

Try to make your next blog longer, we waive the rules for new users, but the rule is what, 300 words?

Awesome graphics, there.

lol I have super short blogs and nobody even mentions it =P My screens make up for it I suppose.

And I LOVE ZOMBIES! Dude, do one thing for me, somehow someway make it so that they don't all look the same… a rediculously easy way to do that is to give them little color variations with colorblend, making them pale reds, light blues, light greens, so that they look like they're stained different colors and such =D

You know what, I might just do you that favor. It's a great idea.

Is this a knockoff of Conker? =P

I'm sorry, but I haven't been active in the GM/Indiegame community in more then a year. What's Conker?

Hey, you're MrKio, the guy who started that topic on the GMC where people replied with when and how they discovered GM, and with their stories of all they'd done since then. That was a cool topic.

I replied to that topic. At first, it was just going to be brief, but I ended up writing a two page essay entitled "My GM Story". That essay was my first blog on 64Digits. Interesting, eh?

Hey! Yes, I guess that was me. GMC was probably the reason why I quit with GM… There's just jerks as for today.

That's awesome anyway, I don't know if I've read it… Cool that some people remember me tho :o
