Unreal Zombies News

[p]Hi everyone. It's been awhile since we've last updated Unreal Zombies. We would like to say a few things as to why it's taking so long to release an update.[/p][p][/p][h2]What's happening?[/h2][p]Over 2 months ago, we release the Survival Revamp update. We were hoping to shift our focus entirely on Act II for the game, but... we got distracted![/p][p][/p][p]We've also been dealing with burnout recently because of the amount of things we've been doing. We do apologies for the radio silence.[/p][p][/p][h2]What's next?[/h2][p]We originally planned to only focus on getting Act II done before we do other things with the game. However, because of how long we are taking to release a single update, we want to go even further and go for v1.0.[/p][p][/p][h2]What will be in v1.0?[/h2][p]Here are a list of what will be included in the full game release:[/p]

• [p]Act II + Act III[/p]
• [p]More Survival Maps[/p]
• [p]Dev commentary[/p]
• [p]Encore levels[/p]
• [p]Level editor (might release after v1.0)[/p]

[p][/p][p]and last, but not least... Multiplayer.[/p][p][/p][p]That's all we have to say for now. Once we have something to show, we'll upload a small devlog to CatgirlLydia's YouTube channel. Also, Unreal Zombies is currently 40% off until the 26th. If you haven't yet, now is a good time to buy the game![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[h3]It's time. After so many failed attempts on fixing a lot of issues this game mode brought, the Survival game mode revamp is finally here![/h3][p][/p][h3]What is Survival?! [/h3][p]It's a round based game mode where you survive as long as you can by going to high rounds.[/p][p][/p][h3]You also get to go into different arenas every round, and get to choose which perk you desire the most... and upgrade them too![/h3][p][/p][h3]Oh yeah! You get to upgrade your perks up to 3 tiers![/h3][p]This feature is not only in Survival mode, but it's also in the main campaign mode! Go nuts, have fun![/p][p][/p][h3]We also revamped most of the game too, so there's that! :3[/h3][p][/p][h3]Additions:[/h3]
