Announcing Undead Shadows - a zombie survival game

I am proud to announce a zombie shooter I have been working on for a little while called Undead Shadows! You must survive non stop waves of zombies and other creatures from sun up till sun down. There are 2 large worlds to choose from; Downtown Quarantine - a modern decaying downtown core of a city that has been quarantined by the military, and Country Cornfields - a foggy rural setting where you must defend a secret military project that has crashed into a local restaurant. As you progress through each round, more and more zombies are thrown at you..until you reach night. As soon as the sun sets, huge spiders come crawling out from the forests to hunt for living flesh.

Killing zombies and spiders will give you money that can be exchanged for items that will help you survive. There is a weapon store that allows you to upgrade your firepower, a hardware store where you can get cheap but effective weapons and a pawn shop that supplies you with handy things to make killing thousands of zombies a bit easier.


I am using T3D 3.5 with a few modifications. The plan is to allow for singleplayer, multiplayer and local co-op. Most of my art assets are from the GG store such as the Zombie Art Pack and the Solider Weapons Pack with some texture modifications to both. I plan to attempt to rework the zombie animations, or hire somebody to do that if my attempts look terrible. I have started a Kickstarter Project to help me fund the artwork I would like to purchase for the game to bump up the quality and feel of most of the level items (cars, props etc.) so if anyone would like to help support this game, consider making a donation there!

This will be my second game that I will be releasing and I learned a ton from the first one. I have already put the game up on Steam Greenlight to start getting an audience and a general idea of interest. I have also posted my game on IndieDB based on a recommendation I got from a friendly Kickstarter-er. So with that all being said, I am juggling marketing and getting the remainder 35% of development completed and its quite the task! Here are some shots and a short trailer I created:






I am trying to finish up the level designs, making a nice HUD and finishing up with the AI scripting. They like to get stuck and run at me in a very straight and orderly fashion - I need to fix that. There is also a 5 page list of other things that I need/want to do but most of them are quick tasks, so my late November release date is a stretch but Ill try! Thanks for reading and please leave your feedback or suggestions! Also again if you could help my out by voting "Yes" on Steam Greenlight and feeling very generous, shoot over some funds on Kickstarter Project to help out with the artwork - as I am just a programmer! Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from everyone!
