Hey everyone!
February's speeding along so soon enough it's going to be time to release the first Zombie's Retreat 2 update!
== The Grid ==
I've talked about it a bit before but I wanted to talk about The Grid a bit more. It's the 'home base' area for Zombie's Retreat 2 and will feature the ability to cus...

Hey everyone!
The time is finally approaching soon. February WILL be the month that the first build of Zombie's Retreat 2 launches!
In case anyone forgot, I chose to not release the Alpha build 2 months ago because it was too short, time crunched, and ultimately incomplete. I needed a bit more time to get some art/CG's do...

Sorry, I'll stop. Anyways, I wanted to do a slightly different character reveal this time. This new character is actually complete but I just received the sketch from Scarlett for a new CG that is in progress. Can you guess what it is? It uh... should be fai...

Hey everyone!
Here's a look at a new CG that will be arriving in the first update of Zombie's Retreat 2! Crimson City has it's own news broadcasting station that will be important for learning about some of the major events occurring within the city!
This is also an example of some of the stuff I needed more time on before that...
2021-01-13 06:37:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Last night, I put up an 'emergency' poll about the Alpha release and possibly delaying or scrapping the Alpha release entirely (to release Beta 0.01 instead).
TLDR: Trying to squeeze the Alpha build out by the end of the month meant I could barely put a functional game together. It has maybe 5 min of playtime ...
2020-12-31 16:25:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
Very last minute poll here but I'm at a pretty tight spot.
== The Issue ==
As the year runs out, I'm finding that there's just not enough time to get everything I want into this Alpha build. There's definitely something playable here but many features aren't in quite yet.
Most im...

Hey everyone!
Hope you have all been having a good holiday season! I wanted to share one last update before the Alpha build is ready to drop.

This may still vary by a day or two. But the current plan is to have the Alpha update out to $5+ Patrons on Thursday December 31st....

Hey everyone!
This update will be split into two main topics: the planned release date of the Alpha build for ZR2 and a reminder of what to expect within that update!
== RELEASE DATE ==
The specific release date is not yet 100% certain and will still need a little more time to figure out.
Hey everyone!
Zombie's Retreat has been updated to 1.0.3! This update just brings about a small few bug fixes so if you are playing the previous version, 1.0.2, it is not a mandatory or revolutionary upgrade.
More importantly, the Mac version of Zombie's Retreat is now available!
MAC USERS: MacOS will res...

Here's a first look at the new home base in Zombie's Retreat 2! With the latest Town of Passion update complete, I can really begin the nitty-gritty process of designing the maps and getting the main areas established.

Hey everyone!
Here's a look at the main character of ZR2!
I've been getting a ton of questions asking if ZR2 will be the same cast as ZR1 and the answer is (mostly) no. Zombie's Retreat 2 features a brand new setting, brand new characters and mostly a brand new story although everything will be connected to the events of...

I said Zombie's Retreat 2 was starting up right after ZR1 and I meant it, hehe. Here's the very first look at ZR2 with the logo and the silhouette of a new face.

It was pointed out to me almost immediately that some oddities were happening with the new Game Station VR. As I went back to check I realized I made a pretty terrible oversight causing the new feature to potentially cause softlocks or other serious bugs.
v1.0.1 has been updated on itch already. I highly re...
UPDATE: v1.0.1 is released! I recommend updating your games to avoid any possible game breaking bugs. You can transfer your save by copying the contents in the save folder over to the new version.
