Third Update

Create a Playable Demo

So with this update comes a playable demo, this still has some bugs in it, but to say that this is my first real attempt at game development and what we have here is a fully playable demo with a kill count,

The game doesn't last long. but to say I spent most of last night with my oldest child trying to beat each other to get the highest kill score, I am pretty impressed at the end result's so far - I've learned a lot and with that new knowledge I'm thinking of completely starting from fresh and working in what I've learned to help make the code more readable and better to understand whilst also trying to squish some of the bugs that have appeared due to my logic not being spot on.

Roadmap:

So the roadmap with the game - Where do we go from here?

• Base building system,
• Advanced AI system
• Survivor system 

So the base building system is self explanatory - with the zombies in the forest you will need some protection from them, with the advanced AI system this will also include a hearing system so if the zombies hear you - you better be prepared.

The Advanced AI system will work for all the AI in the game, i am looking at adding wildlife, survivor's and more zombies, the AI system on the survivors will work on a need system - the survivors basic needs need to be fulfilled and if not there is a chance they can die - can you rescue them before they die? if the survivors become to afraid will they attack you on sight? who knows?? I'm looking at creating the AI as dynamic as possible so that the same situation never happens twice,  

The next update:

The next update will be a big one, I am looking at starting on the base building system and also creating a new larger map, so the zombies will be more spread out and also wont fall out of the sky when they spawn, along with this new update I will try and remember to add sound to the game, and also update the AI to use its hearing perception to come and investigate nearby sounds, which with the hording function could be just a lone zombie coming towards the sound or a group of around 50+ zombies, just remember to be quite in the forest in Just Another Zombie Game.
