Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn News

Oh boy has it been like a forever since I've done one of these..

[h3]So, what happened?[/h3]
- The profile servers of ZKW are down. For the first time in the history of ZKW, you can't register a new profile, or login to your existing one.

[h3]And why did this happen?[/h3]
- We updated our website yesterday. The website itself was working nicely after the update, and the news of ZKW were loading in correctly. So I figured everything would work as intended.
Well, nope. The profile handling side of things stopped working, and I'm sorry for this everyone!

[h3]But I wan't to play now![/h3]
- I'm working on a solution right now! Hopefully, I can get this mess cleaned by the end of the day, and this'll all be like a bad dream of sorts. That happened during the day. Those exist.

- I'm going to update this announcement as soon as the servers are back on track and things are working. Until then, hold on to your hats!



- Everything seems to be working as expected again! Thank you for your patience!

Google has been looking for apps that use older development tools within them, that may cause the app to have some sort of an security issue, since 2016.

Until now, Google has only blocked these apps from being updated (if they haven't updated the development tools that had the security issue in the first place) but now, Google is actually starting to remove any apps from it's Play Store that still have the outdated development tools in use. Including ZKW-Reborn.


Unfortunately, there is basically nothing I can do to stop this from happening. The only thing that would prevent this, is to update ZKW in the Play Store, but that is quite simply too late for that. Since the game was made with a really old version of GameMaker Studio 1, bringing the game up to Studio 1.4, and then Studio 2 would be a-LOT of hassle in itself, but it'd also require a ton of other development tools to be updated, as well as (obviously) making sure everything worked as they should.
Even if I did this, I would also need to update every other platform the game is on (iOS, Windows, Mac) since it is a cross-platform multiplayer afterall, and updating only one version would cause serious issues within the game.
And, that's not even all there is. The server is also made in GameMaker, meaning that I'd need to update that as well.
All in all, all this would take me something like 6 months to make, which at this point is too late, since the removal will be happening in less than a month.


As far as I know, anyone who has previously installed ZKW-Reborn on their Android device, will still be able to re-download it, activate any in-app-purchases (such as Full Version) and play the game to it's fullest. With the exception of not being able to purchase any more ZKW-Points or anything else with real money within the game.

With that said, I will still keep the multiplayer servers up and running. Android version is still bringing in more money, than Steam and iOS combined, so I'm not too sure how long I'm going to be able to keep the servers up. But I'll try my best to keep them running as long as there are players around.


I'm sure I'm going to piss a-lot of you guys off, but trust me. I'm pissed as well. ZKW-Reborn was the first game I ever released with Still Running, and Android was the first platform I ever released a game to. ZKW-Reborn kept me alive for the longest time, and the community of the game has been super passionate, and I appreciate that.
ZKW-Reborn wouldn't exist without you guys.
Still Running wouldn't exist without you guys.

Thank you.
Hail ZKW-Reborn. Have fun while it still last's. Let's make this final month of ZKW-Reborn the biggest in years!

Lovecraftian horrors, and plenty of Cronenbergian gore.

It's still the early days of the game, and we're not 100% sure yet if we'll be able to make the game.
It all depends on whether we get a funding for the project or not.

Help us make this game into reality, share the video to your friends, and let them know about the game!

Just realized I haven't yet invited you to the party! So feel free to do so, all the cool kids are there already, so be one of the cool kidz! (I'm there too..)




Well, why not? We're talking about The Walking Vegetables there, what the future holds for the game, ZKW, and generally all kinds of things! Just make sure you're not an jackass first, mkay?

In the channel you can also suggest any ideas you might have for the game, what we should do with it, if something needs to be fixed and so on. The whole team will be there too! :)

[OLD POST]
The online servers are having some serious issues right now.
Do not worry, I do intend to keep atleast one server up and running for now, so this is not me bombing the servers.

I'm trying to get everything fixed, but this may take up to 24hours. Please stay frosty everyone!
