• Update 01/01/25 - 1 January 2026

  Happy new year! Here's the latest:Map Changes:Extended the main map with a new upper areaRemoved the slow zones around the map edges. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to train zombies aroundReactivate Power Event:It always turned out to be quite difficult to hold down that small room in the tiny radius, especially on higher difficulties. So I swapped it out for a simpler approach, maybe I'll bring it back in the future. Now we just have to run over and re-activate the power switch, then turn the generator on. This whole change is also to help with the second map. Since there's multiple generators there. Weapon Changes:Added the Kriss Vector, it still needs some more polishing/anim work, but for the most part it's functional. It's good fun!Changed up the prices of the weapons to be a bit more balancedAdded an "Instant Grenade" which explodes on impactBug Fixes:Issue where infinite a…

• Update 30/12/25 - 30 December 2025

  Addressed a few issues/balancing concerns:AI Changes:Point/Currency Reward 10 -> 15Damage 15 -> 10(should help on lower waves)Implemented a new system to deal with AI Spawning. We now have zones, and will select appropriate zones based on whether you're in them or not. This results in AI spawning in closer areas to where you currently are. Rather than swarming from all angles.Meta Upgrade/Formula Changes:Slightly tweaked the formula so it should reward a bit more currency per runSlightly reduced the prices of meta upgradesOther:When an item can't be stacked, when trying to pick it up, we'll show an error notification, so it doesn't seem like it just doesn't work.When successfully taking an item, we'll play a pickup animation to show you it worked.Ammo/Health drops spawned by AI now have a little bit of a light on them so they're more visibleUnless other concerns come up, I'll be working…

• Release is here! - 26 December 2025

  It's been a little while since the last update. So here's some updates on what's been worked on: A bunch of refactors to most of our systems. We've been in build/ship mode for a while, it all needed a bit of TLC.This also includes a bunch of mini optimizations that hopefully will contribute to even better framerates.Implemented a minigun. We'll be adding this in a future update, but the weapon is there and ready to be used. More info to come later :)Finally added some audio for the AI. The stronger zombie spawning at wave 5 will also have a signature screech so you know when he's coming.Improvements to our objective system to easily be able to build "quest" like sequences. A bunch of improvements to interaction handling. We now correctly prioritize interactions, and only one will execute at once, when there are two overlapping. Prioritization is based on distance.Changed the first aid k…

• Update - 16/12 - 16 December 2025

  Today we have quite a few important changes! Barricade health increased, T1 350, T2 1000. Those pesky zombies shouldn't smash through it as fast now, giving you some chance to defend/move around.Finished the implementation for Poison AoE. It has a chance to spread on death to nearby ai also.VFX for lifesteal ability... still kind of placeholder but makes it a bit more clear.Added a laser to all weapons so you can see where you're aiming in the dark choas.Fix some issues with steam leaderboard handling, score runs by a custom calculated score.I hope you're enjoying the demo! A lot of the work on the game is done live on stream, so if you want to drop by and chill, or with some ideas/issues, I'd be very happy to listen!

A lot of the work on the game is done live on stream, so if you wan…
