4.3. game over scene
4.4. shoot and kill zombies
4.5. count zombies killed
4.6. deliver letter

5. add main screen menu
6. add final score screen

lets do it !!

You control a mailman needs to deliver letters in a city full of zombies, you start at a post office with some 2 letters to deliver, every time you find a kitten it will give you a weapon to attack the zombies, the objective is to deliver as many letters you can, and kill as many zombies you can.

will have a 3rd person view, and probably only one weapon a shotgun would be great !! lol
the streets will have cool identification names and the house will have numbers.

so remember the streets, find the kittens, kill zombies !!
I’m fine with this idea ! will go to sleep now
as soon I awake will start !

cheers and happy letter delivering !

me and my friends are in !! this time will give a try with :

• Unity3D
• Cheeta
• GarageBand

As expected this participation didnt reach the end with an complete game, but at least I moved forward in some research was able to create some nice pieces that I believe I will use soon or later :

- store the user location and movement direction in a server
- make the server based on tomcat
- remove the inactive users from the list of current users
- make unity to send the current position and movement direction of an character
- receive on unity the result of http calls using POST

now my next steps will be :
- beased on the list of objects from the server, keep track of the necessary objects to create and show.

good luck all !
cheers

update #1
- search for unity3d samples on how to do network connection – ok
good one ! http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/16136-.net-tcp-networking-help?highlight=System.Net
- define game features – ok
- request new virtual server to run the game server – ok

next steps
- make server to receive data from the unity client
. create java server that listen for connections and show in the console the data
. create unity interface with a button to send data to the server
. unity interface read data from the server
. create object on the screen based on information from the server
. create interface to enter user name
. choose random positions on unity sample map
. count points
. add more next steps

Oh well, just wake up now … anyway during the wedding party, on Hard Rock Rio that was playing music from the 70s, I just check the theme and started some background thread to think about it …

Only regular stuff come up, quests, hidden objects in the scenario, find places… Then suddenly while drinking my mango juice, its not orange it’s mango trust me, came an very very agressive idea ! hide and seek multiplayer !!

I know that is too much ! I know that probably I wont finish it, but I like the idea and put together my desire of explore Unity and localization of characters together !!

I hope the little bear from the keynote help me !

ok leaving for the wedding party but will check the theme from the cellphone

As allways I want to participate with something different, and on this one will try with Unity.
but will have to optimize the time, have a wedding party on Friday and a dinner for the same wedding on Saturday …

very busy weekend !
but lets do IT !!!

Finally !!

late pic of my lunch as my internet is back

My ISP is killing me got an outage in the service since yesterday around 01:00AM !!!

during this time finished the concept and made the sprites for the game ! here are some drats that I used, and some final sprites … errr my daughters like then, this is a good signal, now is time to go deep in the code, I hope that  FlashPunk help me

best regards from the little green man LOL

The idea is to control a robot that will look like a little tank, and collect energy and bullets by recycling from from the destroyed enemies, each map will have different types of enemies.

The controls will move to the sides, and control the direction of the weapon, the key E will collect energy from the dead enemy, and B to collect bullets.
