    Game Character: Petty

    By bandrewk,

    It’s been another week! Time is elapsing so fast. We have made a-lot of bug fixes this week and the game is running much more stable now. The Noesis wrapper has been updated to support the new features of version 1.2. It can be downloaded on our git repository. As part of that, the UI of Remaining Days has been updated to support version 1.2. While talking about user interfaces, we have started implementing the in-game hud this week and it’s doing just fine! The only thing missing is the weapon slots, but we’re working on it.
     
    The last game character is Petty:

    Remaining Days

    By bandrewk,

    Today I’m giving you a short insight into our upcoming game called “Remaining Days”. Remaining Days is a first person multiplayer survival shooter. It relays heavily on a day and night cycle and it’s your goal to survive as many cycles as possible! During night phases you and your fellows fight against hordes of zombies, including occasional boss fights. After sunrise you’ll restock your ammunition, build barricades, traps, find new weapons and groceries to survive!
     
    Our goal is to develop a functional prototype and to start a successful Crowdfunding campaign in about three months. We are currently a team of three, each of us being located in Germany:
     

    Julian: Concept Artist
    Alex: Level Designer
    Bryan: Project Lead / Programmer

     
    We’ve been working on this for the past few months now and are ambitious to start the Crowdfunding soon. In the upcoming weeks we will introduce our game characters to you, so stay tuned!
     
    In the meantime make sure to check out our website, we have a nice overview of our progress and a blog there:

    Last week we’ve been in cologne (Germany) at the gamescom, a trade fair for video games. I’ve talked to a few publishers gathering information on strategies to distribute a game on the world-marked, payment system providers for game and in-game purchases and last but not least, advertisers. They gave us quite a bit of information brochures, haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. After all, the most important aspect was getting some contacts into the game industry, which we seem to have now. We had the opportunity to talk to a few persons and introduce them to the concept of Remaining Days, everyone we have talked to was excited and curious. Here is a picture of some of our loot:
     



     
    Other than that we've been working on the in-game and menu user interface, which is finished now. The inventory slots that were missing are now there and an in-game menu. Video settings have been added to the main menu. Here is a screenshot of the new in-game menu:

    Game Character: Carl

    By bandrewk,

    We’ve been making rather slow progress this week, networked props are now functional and there have been a few enhancements to the character controller. Shadmar’s day and night cycle (see
    ) is now fully integrated into Remaining Days. Leadwerks Software has featured us in their newsletter this week!  
    Introducing the penultimate character, Carl:

    As promised in the previous blog entry we will now start introducing our game characters to you.
     
    Characters in Remaining Days are normal people, just like you and me. Each character is supplied with a default weapon and bonus capabilities. Default weapons are reaching from pistols to melee weapons and everything in between We will provide additional information on what bonus capabilities are and how they work soon. In the meantime, just think of Mario kart’s power ups, that’s where our inspiration came from
     
    The first character is called Greg:
