T-Minus 12 Days: Comebacks, Kill Streaks / Perks, and an Animation
Happy Saturday friends of Ironzilla!
We're halfway through our campaign, but not nearly halfway to our funding goal. Despite this, we haven't lost a bit of hope! We've seen tremendous comebacks on Kickstarter time and again. It'll be a nail biter, but we're doing everything we can to show you that Zombocalypse will be an incredibly fun game. And with you behind us, we know we can't lose.
For potential backers, we'd love to know whatever it is that is holding you back from pledging to Zombocalypse. We know pledging any amount is a huge investment, one we take very seriously. So ask us anything -- I promise you we'll answer and do our best to alleviate your concerns!
Now for the juicy stuff!
So what's all this talk about Kill Streaks and Perks?
In the mobile version of Zombocalypse, we've decided to make Kill Combos (aka Kill Streaks) and Perks one of the integral parts of getting a high score.You'll be able to have a loadout of 3 Kill Combos and 3 Perks, and each one will be upgradeable. Just like in Call of Duty, you could mix and match them to give you an edge! (Jeff goes into detail about this in his blog post, check it out!) We know you're gonna have a blast figuring out what the best loadout is. Some variations:
- One Man Army + Commando + Knockout means you'll be able to chill on the side lines while repelling zombies with a wall of lead.
- Juggernaut + Bulletproof + Recon means you can dash through crowds of undead with your machete and hack them down.
- Assassin + Commando + Recon means you can dash from crate to crate and rack up a Kill Combo for a lesser cost.
Not to mention you can compliment your perks with your Kill Combo loadout. You can choose from a Support or Assault group, depending on your style of play. If you're defensive and like to sit in one place, you can choose the Support group. If your perks are focused on offense, then you can supplement it with Kill Combos from the Assault group.
One last thing, you'll be able to help shape what makes it into the game! Whether you provide feedback or vote on what makes it into the game, we'll be sure to listen to your input.
And here's a quick animation test of John Fulton jumping! He's our titular main character. Although he won't be jumping much, our artist Jeff is just testing out some slick animation styles. We also put on a girl's head, not too bad eh?
There will be more to come in the upcoming days! We're getting closer to the final week, so things will definitely start heating up. As always, thank you for supporting our dream. This would all be impossible without you.
Have a great weekend, talk to you soon!
