HomeRun

As many of you guys already know, things haven't gone too well for me in the last month. Which is also why there hasn't been an single update for ZKW-Reborn for a loooooooooooooong time.

Even tho there has been a good reason why you haven't gotten your updates, I still can't stop feeling like I've let the players down. I just feel like the events that have stopped me from making these updates, are simply not enough to justify the fact that you have been just sitting there (like zombies), waiting for the new update to some day roll in.

This is why I really wanted to make this update count. And I decided I would start making the 1.3 version (some of you have already noted, that when you get a new 1.x version, it means for a new map.. Oops)

Version 1.3 What's the big deal?

..some of you may ask. Well. I don't want this turn into an half of an bible worth of text again (altho it seriously is looking like it will.) I'll just cut into the new features etc that are coming.

New map!

-Yes! Finally! There will be a new map, called HomeRun in the next update! This has been so far the most challenging map to make, because of.. Stuff.. That I cannot yet tell you. But I'm going to write another piece of a news when we have more to tell ;) (Also, make sure you are following our
Facebook and Twitter to get the latest news about the new map!

New zombie!

Yes. I know my drawing skills are fabulous..


About the new zombie. Well.. These guys mean business. And by business, I don't mean that they are, by any means, businessmen. I mean, look at that face! Please! Use some skin moisturising.. Stuff from time to time!
Anyhow. These fellows will be seen on the higher rounds of the game. If you do manage to see one of these, you know you will be f*'d.

60 FPS!

-Yes. You have been heard. Just a few days ago, I figured why the game wasn't working properly on 60FPS. Now it is. Well, sort of. There's still work to be done here (as the game was never meant to be played on magnificent 60FPS framerate) but this is definitely coming.

Delta time!

-Now even the most potato-computer owners can enjoy the game!
In a way, delta time does not actually make the game run any smoother. Instead, if your FPS drops, the game will still be running at the same speed. This is mostly a good thing for the mobile users.

OverKill system!

-Sounds fun, right? Well, that's because it IS!
I've been telling you guys about OverKill system before, so I'll just give the basic info here. Actually.. Let me just copy&paste whatever I said on the other notification:
Yes, I am aware that the OverKill menu looks like.. Well, bad. But that's because it's all placeholder. Anyways, some of you, who have been around for long enough, may remember the "OverKill" feature from the original ZKW back in 2010?
So, what is "OverKill" ?
Basically, it's a feature, that you can unlock when you level up to LVL40. By "OverKilling" your character, you basically reset your profile, almost complitely. But every time you do this, you can select one "OverKill" item to bring in to the new life with you.
Here's a few examples of these OverKill items:
-OverKill machine (Advanced fridge. You get to open this magical thing once in every game, for free. And it can give you pretty much any weapon in the game, based on your OverKill level. Even the upgraded ones)
-Weapon customization cap increase
-Stacking perks
And more..

Moving on!

Updated menu!

-Aren't these just beautiful :3 I mean seriously! When you see these in action, you will.. Atleast fall in love with them!

New, improved, skill-tree!

-This is still under development, but you can see how this will basically work. To say the least, this new system is just a TON better than the older skill (wanabe) tree- system ZKW had.

Gawd.. How long is this going to taaaake!?

-I know most of you are already starting to look like this (and the rest of you have stopped reading already) but hang on! There's more!

New voice acting!

-Now, I couldn't get a picture of the sound.. So.. Anyways. Yes, we have a new voice actor for ZKW-Reborn!

Improved gamepad support!

-Isn't that just much more clear than the old one :) Ofcourse, there has been more gamepad optimization within the game than just this!

New difficulty modes!

-You thought "normal" was challenging? Pft..

Overall ingame improvements!

-Improved ingame physics, improved effects, improved stability, improved this, and improved that.. Much improvement, such update!

Mac and iOS!

-If everything goes as planned, the 1.3 version will land on Mac and iOS as well!

That's it? Please?

-Yeah, I think that's enough for you to handle right now. In case some of you actually managed to get into this point, good! Give yourself a hug!

When can we haz the update?

-There are still a ton of stuff to be done, but I would say this month.
Can I haz a day?
-Sure. 31.10. Happy?


Ok, so that's all for now!
Remember to take a shower every now and then. You wouldn't want to be shot because someone thought you were a zombie, now wouldn't you?

Oh, and.. Know this.
Without you, there wouldn't be a game called "Zombie Kill of the Week - Reborn"
So..
