As the spriter's work hard on improving the graphics and making new stuff, I am working hard at getting to the point where people will be able to play it (beta). In which case it will still need quite a large amount of work, but this way maybe we can collect a few interested people that would like to see the final product. Ftr we plan on having a lot of updates even once it is complete, we want to constantly add weapons, items, and features to keep any fans we may get, satisfied and entertained :)

I hope to have that beta version running within a couple of weeks :)

This is just a heads up for anyone who is interested, we have a few new guns that do not all have names quite yet.  another handgun, a revolver, and a sniper.  I also made a few different versions of each to see what we like best :D

I am currently working on some more decorations that we can put into the world beyond and the town

It's nice to see that you guys take criticism seriously, it's nice to know your ideas are actually being implemented, instead of going to waste.
The new weapons look pretty cool, but I have to point out that the kitchen knife doesn't really look like a kitchen knife, as the handle is very centered to the blade, a normal kitchen knife, or at least the ones I'm used to, has the handle more on the back.
Further, thank you for explaining the World Beyond to me, a few suggestion I have would be the Wastelands or something generic like Infected Area.
I like the idea of having several towns, the coolest thing about it would be that you can actually visit other towns, I really like the idea of raiding other villages and I'm pushing you to implement that.
Another thing that would be cool is a multi-player mode. Killing zombies on your own is of course fun, but doing it with friends would of course be even more awesome. I do understand though that you don't just implement a thing like that, as it takes time and effort, but I think it should definitely be something for on the to-do list.
Also, I just noticed that the side-view has a pretty oval head, I recommend making it more circular, otherwise it'd be very chibi on the front view and suddenly more realistic on the side.
On the zombies, I think they should have a more zombie fitting pose, with the arms up front, at the moment, they seem very lively. More sprites would be cool too, at the moment, you have a naked zombie and a zombie with clothes, I think there should be more variation there, zombies with just ripped shirts, zombies wearing a hat, you get the drill. Variation can really make a game.

Anyways, I don't have much left to say, it'd be nice to have some play-able version, or you should at least get beta-testers as different perspectives on things can really help.
Need criticism on a game? Don't hesitate to PM me.

Ok so first thing is first, yes we do take all criticism very seriously and yes the point of our game is we want everything that we want implemented.

The kitchen knife was mainly a quick go, I am attempting a few other ways of doing it and I agree, but for some reason I had people say that was one of their favourite :s  its good to see you're on my side with that one.  Its added to my list of changes.

Love the wasteland idea you got, we ran over that a couple times and its good to see that again because I am seriously thinking about that one.  That will most likely be what we will call it (hopefully) .  "I really like the idea of raiding other villages and I'm pushing you to implement that.". Duely (apparently not a word xD) noted.

MULTIPLAYER-  This was a very big thing we want too, multiplayer makes everything better and we have some amazing ideas for it.  we were actually working on this for quite some time with some luck but could not finish it and we have put it aside.  Our thoughts are getting a good networker in the future to help us out with that one.  but not till we get some interest in the game when we make it playable.

which brings me to my last point.  beta testers, we have a few more big things to impliment before letting others test it out, being smoothening gameplay and a few really big implimentations that we think are VERY important to making this game a good game such as, looting, buffs and debuffs ie. poison, crippled, adrenaline, dehydrated ect.

There is GreenGuys new tileset, I personally think it looks a lot better! :)

Also note that the buff system is implimented into the game now for enemies during combat. Along with a brand new dialog system for during the fights :)

For example, you use a poison kind of skill, then the enemy becomes poisoned and takes 4 damage (on top of attacks) per turn. If they are poisoned and you try to poison them again it will not do anything. As for dialog, it types out in the top left corner when new things happen.

E.G. You hit attack when your Klok 17 is selected, the top would type out: You attacked using the klok 17 and dealt X damage!   

OR

You click the skill shoot when using your klok 17, the top would type out: You used Shoot and dealt X damage!
The next line might type out: The foe has been poisoned!
On the enemies turn it would type: The foe has taken 4 points of damage from poison.

X of course would vary depending on the damage dealt.

We have some good news :D

Our plans are running smoothly now and haven;t run into too many big problems.  We have implemented a few new things such as looting, and added some new graphics and items.

We will be looking for beta testers to test out how well the game is running so far.  There will be more news about this in a bit.

The new housing tiles look fantastic really, although I have to say, the fridge looks a bit off. I think you gave yourself a bit too much of a challenge by going for a round fridge instead of a square one. My main issue is that all furniture seems to have a bit of an odd perspective, but perhaps it's just something that takes getting used to.
On the damage thing, I think a number popping up, showing the damage would do the job well, I don't think there's any reason to over-complicate that.

It's good to hear that you're making nice progress, is there any chance you know when the game could be finished? As I'd like to know when to expect it.

When it comes to beta-testing, you know I'm available if you need anyone to give a critical view on the game, I'm always happy to help, especially when helping involves playing a game.

Anyhow, keep it up, guys, so far, it all looks quite promising.

The damage popping up has also been implemented now, but I wanted it written as well I thought it would look better and I think it does :) Well the beta will be realeased a bit later then we expected because I have been caugth up with a massive amount of other stuff to be done. But I am working my hardest to find the time to work on the game!

I will make sure to let you know when the beta/testing is ready :)
