Eh. The most recent blog post about Zombieville 2 (what phattestfatty said) is only about the music and sounds though. But, here it is if people want to read it:
Making estimates too early kinda came back to bite me with Battleheart (since I slipped past the original date) but I can safely say the current goal is September for Zombieville 2. It's a realistic goal based on how things have been progressing, but as always we're more interested in making it cool than hitting a deadline.
I'm holding off on showing video/screens until we're a little closer to the finish line. That said, here's a little before/after to show you how our art has improved over the years.
Will this make Zombieville 1 obsolete? Unknown why I've never purchased the original; so I'm hopefuly for a Spoiler *cough cough* free price drop promotion with the sequel.
I wouldn't say that necessarily. It's actually going to play fairly differently - still a sidescrolling action game, but with enough tweaks to the formula that it's really its own beast. This was the main reason we chose to release it as its own game - it's not really an outright replacement for the original, and there may even be people who prefer the old one. As far as pricing goes, we may do some kind of promotion with the original when the sequel comes out, but no decisions have been made as far as that's concerned.
Definite improvement! Survivor guy now has a cool 5 o'clock shadow and Zombie looks even more surprised! Awesome!
Just gotta say MikaMobile, as a fledgling would-be dev, your art makes me super jealous. I honestly think it's the best 2d art style on the App store. Great job.
