Deadville Hollow Mutiplayer Horde

Archive: 9 posts


This is a beta test to a project i am currently working on for my Deadville Infection series. It is a top down zombie/monster shooter. I am going for a unique design and unique gameplay hopefully as i know there are many people who are bored with zombie levels. Unfortunately i love them
It was originally going to be my level for the Multiplayer contest but i gave up on that as i have been helping SSTAGG1 instead with his Mercenary level and did not feel like rushing this too much.

Deadville Hollow http://lbp.me/v/z1-39w was my original level to the project and this Horde mode is the next mode i have built. There will be more modes of different types.

Basically it is a 2 player Vs mode where you must kill and survive from a horde of zombies in a choice of two maps. The gameplay might change in the future as this is just a beta and i would really appreciate any feedback or ideas any of you have for the level. It can be played as 1 player but your score will not be registered as it is a Vs level(This may change depending on feedback).

Mainly i would like to know:

What forms of monsters/ Zombies would you like to see in it. I am thinking maybe incorporating ghosts or sirens (Half ghost half witch) type creatures into it but not sure.

And is it fun or not? Any other feedback would be great as well. You can leave feedback either here on in the main project thread.
Just tell me what level to give feedback to and i will try to give it to you as soon as i am able.

Update 1.7 - I have now added Molotov's that can be picked up by collecting the ammo box. I have also added the theme tune to Resident Evil to the menu screen which i had made myself. I have also fixed up a couple problems i found with the fire zombies and the Apartment map.
Update 1.6 - Thanks to SSTAGG1 multiplayer now works PERFECT. Flamethrower now leaves burning flames occasionally that can hurt you as well as the zombies. Various minor changes to zombies.
Update 1.5 - Added Close combat weapon and changed minor problems with the environments.
Update 1.4 - Added music to the levels. I will change the songs at some point but would really like some custom tunes. Changed some textures to improve thermo and added more zombies when 2 players are in the level.

Here is the original thread to the project https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=59931-Deadville-Infection-a-highly-detailed-top-down-zombie-shooter

Great, you made the showcase thread. Next time we're on, let's try this out, looks awesome.

I haven't tested it 2 player myself yet so i hope its going to be what you expect. I'm pretty sure you will have some good gameplay ideas for me. I should be on either later tonight or hopefully tomorrow sometime.

I am hopefully going to be adding a close combat attack in the next couple of days also, It will be either a knife, baseball bat or spiked club. Still WIP.

looks good.will try this now.

EDIT:

just played it! games like this should be on the cool page because that was cool!! lol. someone already made a level VERY similar to this a couple weeks back BUT this one was better. well presented...the loading screen looked good and i liked that you could choose the apartment or train station or whatever it was lol. controls were fluid. design was well done. the difficulty seems ok but the lack of ammo doesn't. and the flame thrower was weak so i personally would make that a little stronger but overall i liked this level.

earned a heart from me. its a good level to play so ill be coming back to it with friends. good job.

F4F: would appreciate if you checked out my matrix movie. https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=59641-the-matrix-has-sackboy...

Thanks for the feedback wolfy_616 i have left you feedback on your matrix level and it was great.

I will be redoing the flamethrower a little soon anyway and the ammo pickups well i might add a couple more around the maps. I am trying to make so that players have to be constantly on the move and not able to camp though but a couple more around wont hurt. I also want the fire to leave small fires on the ground where it has burned that will hurt both players and zombies.

I will be incorporating shell casings hopefully as well as grenades or molotoves.
In update 1.5 i have added Close Combat weapons to both players.

I have just tested it with SSTAGG1 today in multiplayer and found out that the score system doesn't work properly yet when two players are playing. He has shown me a way to solve this and i will hopefully have it fixed in V1.6 its gonna be a bit of work though as i have to redo a lot of things.
Worst part is i think i will have to do the same in my Castle Defence level which will be very difficult and take a good few weeks.

Thanks for all who have tested it so far and left feedback on the level.

AtlanteanNomad7 i already have your level queued and will play it soon.

Update 1.6 now fixes most issues with multiplayer and point collection thanks to SSTAGG1 for his help with the logic. Minor changes t the weapons have also been made as well as the zombies. I really need this to be tested 2 player to know if there are any other problems.

Just updated a few problems that i had found and added more enemies onscreen when two players are playing. I may also work on adding a third player to it.

Heres a vid unfortunatley the sound is out of sync.

I remember this a while ago This level has some nice controls with sweet visuals that are extremely pleasing to the eye! Everything flowed smoothly and there's not really much to complain about, overall this is a blast to play and I definetly recommend this level to all top-down shooter lovers! Great job! 2011-10-08 00:00:00
