Hello friends,
As you know, we have been experimenting with the mobile version of the Zombotron Re-Boot game and have come to the conclusion that we should do a complete reboot of the game and not focus on mobile players.
What does this mean?
We have decided to abandon the casual stylization of the game and make the graphics more stylized and dark.
We have decided to abandon the chibi characters and make them more realistic proportions. We have made the characters' arms and legs longer - this not only changes the perception of the game, but also simplifies the creation of many animations and equipment.
We have decided to abandon linear levels in favor of a conditionally open world in which you can move in any direction to explore the game world. In addition, we plan to add some metroidvania elements to the game. We have noticed that many players like to explore the game and find various mysterious places. In this way, we hope to make the game deeper and diversify the endless action with additional activities and calm locations.
We also want to do a lot of work on the mistakes and make a full-fledged finished story that will better reveal the events taking place in the game. We have prepared a small teaser for the introductory cut-scene, which you can watch right now!
We have also prepared a small update to 1.4.1 version.
What's new?
🔸 Fixes and improvements on game levels.
🔸 Improved support for gamepads and fixed some bugs in their detection and handling.
🔸 The New Year event will end soon!
