God I love these kinds of games. I'm assuming it's 2d?  Can't wait to see media and give it a shot! 

[Xeno]

Sounds like it will be a great title. Can't wait to see more!

[Little Pixel]

Yeah its a 2d top down, 2d resident evil  you might say.
The media side of things are a bit spares as still trying to get the basic mechanics down, currently just have place holder graphics to work with.

Hi Fabio, its Corey! Sounds fun, love horror games. Can't wait to see what fantastic pixels you came up with this time!!

[Kibbelz]

Is this from scratch or using an engine?

[Giligis]

I believe last time I talked to him, he was using GameMaker.

Updated original post with a small tech demo of the basic mechanics.

Please keep in mind this is still very early and it still needs lots of polish and tweaking in areas, also the graphics are place holders apart from the main sprite which is still a WIP in terms of animation and style.

[WereAlpaca]

Very solid start, looks good! I love these kinds of games as well. Easy to lose a couple hours of your life. Look forward to seeing your next engine update!

[Gibier]

It's me or the zombie have too much life?  Maybe it's the weapon is too weak or the character just shoot the body to loose ammunition?

Whatever the game looks nice. The environment is empty but it's the goal here to expense the space.

I will play the v1.

I don't think the zombie is supposed to die in this test. He is just showing off the features in place, like moving, shooting, reloading, hitting a target, the blood spatter, etc.

[Giligis]

The demo looks awesome dude I love the reloading! Always need a circle of light in zombie games too, good progress dude I even like the sprite design you got going. 

[Little Pixel]

Yeah this is purely a test of the core features, hence why the zombie currently goes negative health, there just debugging tools to help me.

There will eventually be a flashlight system for the lighting and you will have to find batteries or power sources to be able to use it hopefully forcing the player to use it sparingly

New update of the new sprite for the game
Walking:

Firing/Reloading:

[Little Pixel]

Hello guys, havent updated in a while but now back today with a brand new update.

In the last months iv been working on the game and rewritten alot of the code, it has a brand new movement and shooting system, brand new graphics along with a fresh new tileset.
The lighting system has also been updated massively, it now uses meshes and shaders to create a better looking system and shadows which i can apply to anything in the game.

Check out the video below or in the OP
