#TeamLawrence



This week I finished the retweaks of desert level 1, fixed the pause system and extended the backend to allow the player to use transport e.g. cranes/elevators/vehicles :)



#TeamAlex

Tons of tech-art-stuff done this week. Planes now explode in a much more satisfying way. Explosion particles have been touched up and made to look nicer. Added some material animation effects to the missile launcher boss. APCs and Tanks now also "gib" when blown up! Retooled the trench bombing sequence so that the bombing pateren is actually consistant, predictable, and tweakable. Much more fun to play now! Check it out compared to last week :






#TeamBrian

Having finished Audio passes on the bosses I am now focusing on scripting and balancing the game-play in our War Campaign levels. This includes pathing, events, spawning of enemies with unique weapons and their own paths, cover points, hazards, and the finale!

#TeamJohan

Fixed some issues regarding the weapons not being able to shoot if you melee directly after you reload your weapon. Also fixed where the zombies wouldn’t be able to attack players because of faulty tracers.

#TeamLawrence

This week I have been rescripting the existing levels to make them more fun, and include the new enemy types including tanks, trucks and armored carriers.





#TeamAlex

Finished up the scripting for the Bombs Away level! Here's a sneak peak of what’s inside:





#TeamBrian

Still recovering from surgery and it’s complications but am back at work finally! I’ve been working on the audio for new boss battles and vehicles that are planned for an upcoming release. The most recent work done was for our Turret Boss.

#TeamJohan

Fixed female zombies going T-Pose because they were missing a certain animation activity. Also fixed survivors having over dramatic pain animations, just from a slap.

#TeamLawrence

I have been redoing the scripting of the original levels, adding in new enemies such as hostiles riding in the back of trucks shooting the player, tanks, missile launchers, and more flavor that was lacking in the original iterations.



#TeamAlex

Been finishing up the scripting on the new level and getting it ready to be sent out to the testers ASAP, which means it should be out to the pubic very soon!



#TeamBrian

Last week was out of the office, had an emergency that I needed to take care of, but I’m back now.

Summer Sale of 50% off until July 8th!


#TeamJohan

Fixed up some issues regarding Flatline, such as some items and/or weapons being deleted when they shouldn’t and where your money did not properly save.

I also fixed Filtering mode and Anti-Aliasing Mode not saving properly due to it being overridden by obsolete video configuration files.

#TeamLawrence

Finished Playstation porting details previously left out. Ive been building an epic boss fight for the finale of the new campaign.







#TeamAlex

Been doing more animations for the the flak cannon boss guy:



Also jumped back into level scripting to start buttoning up the new levels with all the new effects that Lawrence has been working on. Stuff is starting to come together!



#TeamBrian

Created SFX for Cue_ApcShellImpact and SFX for Bomber Siren Dive, but it still needs to be setup to adjust pitch on dive over time and blend over Engine Idle (Which also needs a pitch adjustment on dive). Updated attenuation to the APC and applied to Audio loop on APC enemy. Audio stuff.

• Added "Mid Boss" into the Flatline wave file (clocktower and sewage have it disabled)
  
  
• Updated SDK assets
  
• Updated translations
  
• Updated scoreboard to show "Boss Wave" if we allowed "Mid Boss" from the wave file
  
  
• Fixed where riots with shields would spawn on Flatline
  
• Fixed where bosses would die for no reason if they got stuck for a single frame
  
• Fixed a crash with IK (tries to read faulty bone if the model has no IK but animations does). This crash only happens if you have custom mods installed for survivors that does not have proper IK setup.
