Zomber Attack!

Here’s a first look at Zomber Attack’s movement system! 🧟‍♂️

Zombies will walk, sometimes accelerate to chase you down, and there’s even more to come!

(You can even hear some bones breaking on bullet impact if you listen carefully)

*Also a message to all of you from the team:*

It’s still in the very early stages, and we’ve got a lot of work ahead on the atmosphere, lighting, and environmental storytelling, but the vision is clear: We want every corner to make you feel truly uneasy.

Development Update!

Dear Supporter!

You’ve probably noticed things have been a bit quiet lately, and that’s because we’ve been heads-down, working hard behind the scenes to prepare a wave of exciting new features. We’re not quite ready to show everything just yet, but August is shaping up to be a big month!

Here’s a...

Cuts!

Dear Patreon Supporter!

The new gore update is here! You’ve already seen the bruises and deformation caused by impacts, but now there’s a whole new layer of damage: cuts.

We’re building a more realistic and detailed damage system, and cuts felt like an essential next step. They’ll occur when NPCs are hit har...

Bruises!

We're currently developing our gore system using a layered approach. This first layer focuses on non-sharp, small-scale damage, like blunt force trauma.

For example, punching will leave visible bruises on the skin and cause localized deformation of soft tissue, especially in areas like the face where bruising is more noticeable and easier...

Damage System Update!

We continue to improve the damage system:

  • Blood Dripping: Wounds now visually drip blood over time, providing a more dynamic indication of injury severity in real-time.,

  • Vulnerable Areas: We’ve expanded hit detection to account for body part sensitivity. Strikes to different regions now yield distinct outcomes, wh...

The first map is nearly complete!

The first map is nearly complete!

The vision has always been to craft an environment that feels truly immersive, like you’re right in the thick of it, boots on the ground in a Middle Eastern battlefield.

At the same time, we’ve focused heavily on level design that’s not just fun but also well-balanced for both sides.

Did we hit the mark? You tell us.

Punching Damage!

We’ve had a lot of questions about how punching and melee damage will work in the game, so here’s a look.

Adam’s been working on a new physics-based system that makes every hit feel both heavy and satisfying. The damage depends on the health of the NPC, but also on the mass of the object you’re hitting them with. ...

Different caliber impact on NPCs

Dear support, we've added a round caliber system which will deal a different physics impact and NPCs behaviors.

We're continuing to make great progress on our ragdoll system!

Right now, we're working on a new layer that makes characters react to damage in real time, it's fully procedural, with no pre-made animations. Every reaction is unique depending on the hit. Reactions will be similar but never exactly the same.

We’ve also got more footage to share of this system in action. I’ll have Part 2 ready on Sun...

We’re making steady progress on the ragdolls!

Right now, we’re working on a new layer for our Euphoria-style ragdoll system, direct interaction with your hands. You’ll be able to push, drag, or knock them over with full physical feedback.

They’re still a bit lifeless at the moment, but this is the last step before we bring them to life with custom animations and more responsive...

We continue Improving our euphoria-style ragdoll system

We've added obstacle reaction and dynamic re-balancing.

Our ragdoll system now reacts more intelligently to physical obstacles in the environment. When a character collides with an object, it attempts to recover and maintain balance using procedural forces and joint control, instead of collapsing immediately. This allows for more natural ...

IT'S RAGDOLLIUS TIME

One of the most requested features has been a Euphoria-style ragdoll system, and we get why. Physics-based ragdolls give NPCs a much more realistic look, with characters trying to keep their balance, reacting to where they’ve been hit, and generally moving in a more believable way.

This kind of system was popularized by GTA IV’s ragdo...
