New trailer with improved graphics !
When I released the first trailer and started promoting the game at Steam Greenlight about two months ago, I have been receiving a lot of feedback and comments especially about the graphics that were too low in quality.

Don't forget to watch it in HD ! Featuring in-game cinematic and gameplay, you can now have a good idea of how the game will looks like, but since it may…

Graphic update !
About more than two weeks have passed since I have released the trailer and announced the game at Steam Greenlight, it is now at 56% to the Top100 and I have received a great amount of feedback ! Most of them was very positive, but a lot of people noticed me that the graphics was bad and after seeing the screenshots, I couldn't... agree more ! The reason is that I am a young and new developer and this game is the result of a lot of experimenting and testing with the goal of creating a short but nice entertaining…

Enhancing the graphics before making the trailer
When I started recording in-game footages for the trailer, I actually find out that many things had to be reworked ! From shadow bugs inside the buildings, to meshes with parts of geometry messed up, inadequate props, lack of particles effects, etc... There are a lot of things I made when I was beginning with modelling and level designing and which now doesn't meet the standard of quality I am trying to reach. In order to have the best graphics for the trailer, I decided to make a global review of the graphics by remaking all old assets and adding more details…

All weapons have been done !
This month, I have been working a lot on the weapons and I have finally managed to have all of them working and completed ! Without considering the grenades, the gas cans, etc, you will find 9 weapons in the game. They all have their own way of use and some of them will be more efficient during a specific situation or against one kind of alien. PICKING UP THE WEAPONS While a lot of weapons will appear through the game, remember that you can keep only four weapons with you ! One melee weapon (baseball bat), one pistol (revolver, pistol) and two heavy weapons (hunting rifle, machine gun,…

New weapons, animations and much more !
Since the September news I haven't posted much pictures of what has been done, this is why I was thinking it would be a good idea to summarize the development of these last times. After working a lot on the map and on the buildings, I decided to make some coding by creating the inventory system and the ability to grab weapons and items on the ground spawned by the game after each alien wave. It is also possible to drop the weapons you don't want any more since you can only carry a limited number of guns, so choose smartly the weapons you…
