8.0 soon

ALPHA 8.0 SOON
In a few days hopefully, maybe saturday/sunday. Depends how much real-life interfere and how many retarded bugs I find. I'll leave the not-so retarded bugs to you.

Summary of the readme:

Traps(*) and Z-Skills.
Self-defence.
Gangs that act as looters and CHAR Guards that act as guards, rather than them being just another enemy to kill.
Armors helps or hinder escaping Gangs and Police attention.
New shop(**)

 (*) not the 4chan kind. real traps. i mean the ones you can use. uh that sounded wrong. ah nevermind.
(**) same old floor plan sorry I'm too lazy to make news ones


STORIES/AAR/VIDEOS

Some people are crazy enough about RS to write complex stories, extremely detailled aars and make videos of them playing in their basement alone in the dark with only one can of food left while vomitting blood.
Ok maybe not.

• This fellow MadZab has Play Diary of RS here and here, as well as other games.
• How many cans does one girl need? Just ask elisebambi.
• There is quite a nice set of videos on youtube for various past or current versions of the game, PlumpHelmet punk had a nice serie going on last year.
• I might do some new videos, but I'm afraid I'll have to break into code every five minutes or so to check something.

End of post.

Player videos aar & 4.1

LET'S PLAY
PlumpHelmetPunk is making Rogue Survivor gameplay videos.
He has also tons of videos for fun little games.
PlumpHelmetPunk youtube channel

4.1
Not much to report. Still doing the advisor hints. There are 26 hints now covering the basics and there is a few more to add to cover fortification and leadership. It's hard to explain enough to get the player started without turning the hint system into a manual-bis.

The Hospital is completed. Lots of healing goodies there, but it could be a deathtrap if you're too late or unprepared.

I still have to:

• add the first "throwable bomb" weapons : dynamite/grenades and/or molotovs.
• add the new ally.
• expand the plot a bit, with something happening "down there" once you have done the achievement.
• the "build stuff" order.
• fix the remaining bugs/glitches.
• minor things.

Alpha 3.1 Progressaar II

(...Continued from previous post)

Ok now your turn. Try to heal those wounds while you're at it. And do NOT drop blood on the sheets and mattress. I HATE that. I dragged this bed all the way here just for YOU. Understand? Now sleep. I'll shout if I see a Big Bad Zombie.

Great. Zombies tards. Look Lucia, would you distract them while I'm searching for food. Be useful for once. There's a cop. He's undead but he might be still a cop somewhere in his roting brains. Try to negociate or something. Yes with your body if you need to. Bye. See you around the corner.

I knew it. Lucia you were useless till the end. From Sleepy to Undead. Idiot.

Got some ammo and food. The shotgun ammo is useless now but might come handy when I find a shoty. For now I'll reinforce the shop entrance.

 Haha. That stupid cop traded some planks for a bunch of munitions. Thank you sir. I feel like Bonnie. Or was it Clyde? Anyway I got guns and ammos. Those zombo tards can come haha. Lucia? Where are you? Haha.

Alpha 3.1 Progressaar

Progress + (quick'n'dirty) AAR = Progressaar.

New command : City Info

Looks bland but that's a beginning. More stuff to go there in future versions.

New command : Message Log

Useful is you missed something.


The Wonderful Adventures Of Alison "Me First" Collins and her friend Lucia "Sleepy" Steward

I order my friend to guard me while I sleep. I suddenly wake up. The little blonde panics. She probably saw something in the south or east rooms. My friend Lucia is sleepy and too tired to see far enough. Anyway it was just a skeleton, quickly dispatched.

I dragged the bed under the rain into our improvised shelter. There are two other people in the grocery shop. I saw them eying our precious food so I walled us in. Survival of the fitest. I care only about Lucia. She's sooo sleepy. Always was. That's why I'm in charge here.

Listen Lucia. You're sleepy. I'm ALMOST sleepy. We can't be both sleepy at the same time, can we? So you guard ME. Just patrol our little room while I sleep. Please don't make noise unless it's really important. I'm a Light Sleeper you know. What? Those two people behind the wall? Ignore them. You don't need them. I'm your only friend you know. Now shut up. I sleep.

(Continued...)

Alpha 2 AAR, part II

(...continued from part I)

Damn! I thought the CHAR Corporation building would be safe but those guys have barricaded themselves in. That Zombie Master is damn agile, jumping fences like that. Maybe I should ask that baseball bat blonde for help.

Teresa Ford is eager to tag along and together we flee my district to the east. Lots of shops there. We get into one and I decide to push shelves around to barricade the place. Night has fallen, we'll get some rest here. Other people had the same idea apparently.

It's late and I'm feeling sleepy. I make a nice shelter in the corner of the shop. It's been almost a day since this nightmare started. I feel safe here and try to get some sleep...

 -----------------
I'm Robert Johnson. I found this diary hidden behind planks in a house. There was blood on it.
I feel sorry for that woman. I shall not follow her path. I will survive!

The End.

Alpha 2 AAR, part I

Screenshots taken in game, except the post mortem one.

Diary of Kathleen Rockwell, Survivor.

Waking up in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse.

Barricading my house with my good friend Katrin O'Brien.

Tagging my house while my friend is in the park.We keep contact with the cell phones.

Oh no! While crossing the street my friend gets into a fight and is turned into a Zombie!

She's not my friend anymore and I push furniture to block her from reaching my tasty brain.
I can't bear to "kill" her. Plus I'm not sure I would win a close combat fight.

Zombie Park. Thanks for the fences! But the Zombie Master ain't impressed. Out of ammo and without any weapon I must run for my life...
