A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

This game is a heavily inspired by Call of Duty Zombies. I've started making this game because of a comment I got on my YouTube video!

This is first person survival-action shooter. The gameplay is very similar to Cod Zombies. Gain points from killing zombies: purchase weapons, take a spin from the mystery box, buy some perks (2nd and 3rd map) and survive as long as possible.

In the map Wolf's Den, there is a full easter egg - quest type of thing.

The game is finished. At least for now.

I am not sure if the macOS version of the game actually work.
The Linux version of the game seemed to not work, so you'll have to make do with a Windows version and some Linux magic. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you notice any bugs, please tell me about them. Thanks.

IF YOUR GPU IS VERY OLD THE GAME MIGHT STRAIGHT UP CRASH! (No Compute shader support seems to be the issue)

(1 edit)

I've been playing this thing for almost 2 years now, why emis, why forgot this master piece you made, PLEASE PLEASE MULTIPLAYER PLEASE

I've been hooked on this game lately. Peak zombie game. I hope to see more maps and updates on this !

bro pleasee add multiplayer😭😭😭 and more maps heheh PEAK GAME BTW

anybody know any other high tier zombie games that are free, i love the game, but the develepor stopped updating it so, i kind of want another game, don't get me wrong, i play this game on a daily basis, but still

(+2)

Best COD ripoff ever! Add multiplayer and it would be way better than COD

and boost the kar98k and other guns

(+1)

game is very good. should add mutiplayer

Really like the game. Im playing on a mac and it works well. The two things that bug me is health packs are rare and are hard to see when  they do drop. Im hard of vision and this makes it difficult. Could you possibley add an outline or some way to see health packs more., could you also buff there drop frequency. The other issue is the lighting in dark places is really dark. Overall a really cool game, i only have nit-picks.

i literally created an account on itch to ask a favor...

you should add multiplayer this game has serious potential and i really enjoy it a lot more than any other zombie games (besides BO3) i have friends that i hooked on this game but the main thing we talk about when we play this game is that you should totally add a multiplayer feature i feel like this will bring people to this game and maybe one day you could put it on steam lolz  this is just a suggestion your game is really fun! but you should really look into it. thank you!

Pausing game with shotgun minigun causes it to float off screen. Unpause and everything is back to normal, but just thought I would mention

it does that with every gun, also, micro gun

Insta kill doesn't work with melee. Please fix. I can't insta shovel kill.

(1 edit) (+1)

There is no insta kill in the game

Very good game. Really captures the essence of CD Zombies (The good version)

Beautifull game not hard not easy exactly as I desire 

BTW:I admire the Call of Duty Inspirations

Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun FUn <3

CAN YOU BUT IN THE TEST MAP  / SO CALL IT SANDBOX MODE SO WE CAN TEST FINGS

(1 edit)

I named this game :)

An StG-44 would be pretty cool

does the game still get updates?

no

but, but, but, this is my favorite game.

Can you not go past level 20? unless my games bugged im disappointed i cant keep filling the skill tree. otherwise really enjoying it

lvl 20 is max. 

Honestly this type of skill system was a bit of a mistake, could've figures out a nicer system.

Can’t download it. Says unreadable format.

i have same problome

how do you progress after you put the battery in the machine? got past it awhile ago but forgot what you need to do to open it

You are talking about the easter egg?
you need to destroy the radio and then push the button

and press the button, wait a round, then press it again

Man thanks for the continuing updates. What you've made is amazing and tickles a certain itch that nothing outside of the old COD games really hits. I appreciate your efforts, it's very impressive :)

sadly he stopped updating after a while

pls add mg42

Love this game, I always want to give creators ideas for games, I don't mind giving you idea

游戏体验很棒,但希望能和朋友联机

(+2)

Man, i love it.
The maps, the sound, everything, you gain a Fanboy mate

It will be awesome play this with friends, but I think it would be very difficult to make

Good luck friend, 10/10

This game is steam worthy, make it multiplayer

How does the rage inducer speed up the game? I can't figure it out for the life of me :)

Reduces round delay, removes zombie spawn delay, increases zombie speed.

The Linux version presented an issue where the bullets were fired offset, for example, i had to aim sideways to hit the zombies lol, i tried to play on window mode, didn't fixed it. The Windows version worked just fine under Proton here, tho i lost a bit of performance i still could play it, awesome game!!

I like this game

is there a way you could add a "no textures" option? my laptop does not like running this game sadly

Textures are the least of your worries.

The decal system I use has huge overhead, and that causes performance issues. Unfortunately I have no replacement for it.

setting to turn decals off?

(+1)

This game has crazy potential.

the macos version doesn't appear to have shadows/light sources. it makes navigating through both level a real pain. also, the menu and all ui elements have black non-transparent background. other than that, awsome gaem

Damn, I wish there was no difference with macOS version and windows, cuz I can't really test the macOS version.
At least the game launches I guess.

(+1)

for real, it's a new year miracle, haha. it's still great man, you're very talented. the only thing that's really bugging is that if you don't pick up the upgraded weapon, run away because of the horde, and then come back, it disappears. :\ just something for possible future updates. *wink-wink*

running feels a tad stiff and weird, have you considered adding a slight viewbob? also maybe the option to choose between non-regen and regen health would be awesome, another thing that would be neato but not required would be if the crosshair could be changed and colored, either way this is an amazing project! if it ever reaches mod support and becomes more popular im sure this could be an amazing zombies replica! 

*edit

also, forgot to mention the lack of sprint toggle! keep on the good work!

(+1)

When you say viewbob you mean camera bobbing right? Cuz if so, I sort of dislike camera bobbing and I know other people dislike it too, some say they get sick from it.
Having a toggle between regen health and non regen health would break the game a bit, since it's made with no regen in mind. Regen is a mechanic that I really dislike, it somewhat works for zombies but I still decided I didn't want it.
Any accessibility options are obviously still missing, as well as control remapping.
Having mod support for the game would be incredible, but the easiest way for anyone to mod would be downloading Unity, which would put off a lot of people. Making modding built in to the game would be rather difficult.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Hey mate, I saw your new video and it looks exciting! I love card collecting in games, it triggers something primal from my childhood. Have you thought about modelling the art of your cards off of tarot cards? Might be a fun way to add some mystique and creepiness.

I think some of the more interesting perks from Zombies have been the ones that fundamentally change a basic mechanic, like how PHD Flopper changed your dolphin dive into a weapon, or how Widows Wine gave a new use to your grenades. Perks that have multiple benefits are always fun too, they feel like you get more for your buck. Here are some ideas:

-Slow down time for a second when you get hit, with a cooldown.

-Melee attack does more damage, hits all zombies in front of you and pushes them back (kinda like a shove from L4D). The more zombies it hits, the less damage it deals, so your melee is now strong on single targets but has a utility against multiple targets.

-Landing a headshot on a zombie will increase the damage of the next headshot on that zombie (a stacking debuff). Landing a headshot on a zombie will momentarily reduce their movement speed. Zombies killed with a headshot will cause their head to explode and slightly damage nearby zombies.

-The player regenerates 1/4 of their weapon's ammo at the start of every round. Missed shots have a chance to be refunded. Reloading an empty weapon is faster. Weapons slowly reload while holstered. Picking up a health pack/grenade while the player holding maximum health/grenades will grant the player ammo instead.

-Using a health pack grants the player a shield that can withstand 1 zombie hit and lasts until the healing animation finishes. Grants the player an extra slot for health packs.  Collecting a health pack while carrying max health packs will pay the player $500 instead. Maybe adds a funny or comedic healing animation to the potential animation roster.

-Grenades will split into three grenades upon being thrown. The player can carry more grenades. Grenades will stun zombies they don't kill. Reduces the damage to the player from grenades. The grenade animation is faster. Walking over a grenade while holding max grenades will pay the player $500 instead.

-A perk that increases the benefit of drops. Max ammos now grant a brief window of unlimited ammo. Quad damage grants more points per kill while active. Double points discounts the cost of the box and upgrading station while active. Full health will cause every zombie on the map to drop to half hp. Nuke will grant points for every zombie killed and delay the spawning of new zombies for a few seconds. Zombies will take more damage during time stop and move slower for a few seconds after it wears off. Allows drops to be rerolled once.

Your game is looking fantastic, I can't wait to see where you take it!

Hey, I have indeed thought of making the cards art based on tarot cards, but with my drawing skill that is not very possible so I chose to make the cards based of playing cards instead.

You've listed quite a lot of cool perk ideas. Since I'm planning to not have a perk limit some of these seem pretty overpowered, but I think some could be added :)

zombies should make a sound when they're close to you so you can kill them before they hit you instead of trying to rely on hearing they're footsteps, other than that I really enjoyed it.

Yeah, I guess you really can't trust that they'll randomly make a sound before slapping you :D

when i open the game my monitor says that the resolution and Hz its highier than the suported (if you dont understand what i say is because i am a 11 years brazilian) and my monitor its a dell resolution 1024x768 60Hz optimum 1280x1024 60Hz

Some nvidia settings allow for higher resolution than a monitor can support.

My game shows resolutions and refresh rates based on the player's monitor actually, it's not like I manually type in the resolutions.

but i dont have a video card. That is the problem!
