Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now News

Back in the days when computers had Megahertz and Megabytes, I made a game called Crossfire II. It's a topdown shooter with a story and local horde / deatchmatch modes, just like Splatter. But it's ancient. Graphics of 320x240, 16Bit colours, 8bit / 22kHz sounds.

I reworked Crossfire II for Steam, upgraded it to 60fps, fixed some bugs, added remappable controls, achievements, cloudsync, easy mode. And now it's available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1377680/CROSSFIRE_II_Retro_Arcade_Shooter/

Story mode is 2, maybe 3 hours, plus freestyle weirdness. No replayability whatsoever, and in my books that's a good thing. So if you enjoyed Splatter, have a look at Crossfire II. If that game were a person, it would be allowed to drive and vote.

Hey Splatterers,

there's a new fix for you which tackles issues some of you encountered.

* Fixes a freeze when shooting with hitscan weapons at the fire bubble tentacle of the first stage of the Final Boss Fight.
* Fixes the weird immediate end of the third stage of the Final Boss Fight
* Possibly fixes the startup problems on Win8 / Win7
* Fixes a few other visual glitches stemming from the same cause as #1

That's it. This is probably the final patch to Splatter, six years after its release. Well... who am I kidding. There will be probably more. Also the performance still bothers me here and there, and I'll probably have to tackle it for the Switch version anyways which we're discussing currently.

But for now, off to an entirely different and even older game: my old Amiga topdown shooter called Crossfire II released back in 2002. I'm bringing it to Steam.

Hi Splatterers,

as we get our game back early this year, we decided to bring out the soundtrack composed for "Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now" for 2 reasons:
1. you can get it, if you like the game music as we do or
2. you want to support the developers with a tip and get the soundtrack as a bonus.

So if you like you can get the official soundtrack of Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now here:
Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now Official Soundtrack

Have fun and hope to see you playing our next game soon.

Hi, Splatterers.

You might have heard that we sold the Steam Publishing rights back in 2016. Now, with some fighting and the help of Valve we got it back. And we use this regained control to publish a small patch:

- fixes long-standing bug where light sources were cut off randomly on highest Shadow Quality Setting
- changes some cover and menu art to the new game subtitle
- some balancing changes

When I got my Linux build setup back on running, I'll also fix the "black screen with music" issue on some Linux computers, but this will need a while. I'm also looking into some more balancing, but no promises.

Have fun, colour the ground red!
