Drained - Horde Unleashed

Thanks for playing and thank you for recommending my other games as well. It really means a lot!

You did some nice shooting there! 

I don’t wanna take the credit away from you, but I’m fully aware that the zombies in their current state, are way too easy to be around. Obviously that’s a task for me to solve within the next pipeline by making the zombie behavior more unpredicted. Furthermore, there will be more various zombie types added later on with different abilities.

I’ll also make sure that zombies don’t get stuck in the walls like you experienced.

A complete storyline will also be written later and added to the game in which will be explained with the help of NPC’s, notes and terminals who describe the whole situation.

Crafting will also be added later on, so you can craft explosives, molotovs & health kits etc.

Cheers

Thank you for trying out the newer version of Drained. 

Yeah, I wanted to make sure that ammo wasn’t an issue in this version. Obviously the appearance of both ammo and first aid kits will be significantly reduced in the future. Instead you’ll be able to craft special ammo and minor health kits. Likewise you’ll be able to craft explosives and molotovs. 

Furthermore there will be a larger variety of zombie types. Including bosses. The goal is to make their AI better, so the player won't be able to predict their movement. 

Finally, Drained is also going to have a storyline and other survivors and added voice acting for the characters. 

Cheers

Thank you for playing! 

Unfortunately you played the very first version of Drained. I actually made this game long before Athemore. It’s a bit buggy at times. Like for example the invisible zombies aren't supposed to be invisible.

Glad you had fun though. 

Cheers

Hey Zakaraia 

Thank you for playing and your kind words. I always enjoy experiencing content creators playing my games. They really help me quite a lot to spot bugs and help me to improve the games I’m making. 

About the bug. Well I didn’t know about it to be honest, but I know exactly what’s going on and it should be very easy to fix. However, I’m surprised you decided to finish the game in crouch mode. The zombies are not that difficult in their current state tbh. 

You also mentioned something about how you felt through the ground at one point. I’ve actually seen that happen before and that’s concerning.

Glad you had fun playing!

Cheers

Thank you for playing, your video and your feedback!

First of all I’m glad to hear you’re back in business with let’s play videos. 

Very early in your video, you implied it was possibly my first game, which is not true at all. It's probably closer to game number 5 I've released. Don’t worry, I'm not getting offended. 

Almost 3 years ago you played "Unaware" which actually is my first game. I hope you still recall. The thing is that I'm still not done with that game, but I'm hoping it's finished by the end of this year.

About Drained:

• It’s so much on purpose the level is flooded with ammo and health. I wanted to make sure people didn’t run out 😀 This will definitely be way more balanced in the final game

• There will also be plenty more weapons, explosives, enemy types and so on. Furthermore the ability to craft items such as molotovs, healing etc. Cars will be intractable. Some might hold useful items.

• The current state of the AI is very basic. The zombies will in the future be able to surround you instead of lining up. To make them more unpredictable and dangerous.. 

Anyways, I’m glad to hear you had fun. 

Cheers

Thank you for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 

I appreciate all the feedback I can get. 

• Adding more health to the cops is a good idea. That will be done.
• I actually spend a lot of time making that inventory in photoshop, but do admit that I’m definitely not an artist, but I’m still learning. But I agree with you. The UI / HUD does look bland and it will become better in the future. Same goes for the level design and the graphics.
• Obviously I have used a lot of free assets as placeholders. As for the zombie models, I’ve used what I could find on Mixamo. They’ll be replaced eventually . 
• There will also be plenty more weapons, explosives, enemy types and so on. Furthermore the ability to craft items such as molotovs, healing etc.
• The current state of the AI is very basic. The zombies will in the future be able to surround you instead of lining up. That also makes them more unpredictable. Likewise it won’t be possible to stay safe on the other side of a vent. 
• There'll also be a story for the game.

Cheers

Thanks for playing and your video.

You did some nice shooting there using both weapons. Well done! :) 

Cheers

Thank you for playing!

Yeah, I knew exactly what went wrong in the beginning. It’s because I have an intro level that initializes all game components, before the basement level is loading. The Game Menu UI covers this level, so you can’t see what’s going on. The intro level also has a patrolling zombie that I use for testing. Unluckily he managed to find you and kill you. You couldn’t respawn either, because there’s no checkpoint in the intro level. I just need to disable that zombie, that's all. Anyways. I’m glad you restarted and gave it another shot.

I noticed your video was very laggy. Especially near the end, so I’m curious if it was the game that caused that.

Either way, I’m glad you had fun :)

Cheers

Thanks for playing. Nice shooting :)

Thanks for playing and your video!

Had a blast watching. 

There is a glitch that sometimes occurs in the beginning of the game that prevents interactions. I actually thought I did solve that issue already. It works again when you hit Escape and resume as you did.  

It was kinda weird you went through the floor just like that. I have to figure out why that happened. I did add a “kill” trigger underneath the world, if a scenario like this would ever happen.

Obviously, there are some issues with the zombies going through walls as well.

Thanks for playing!

Yeah, the shotgun is pretty fun :)

I actually had to put a timer on the bodies so they disappear after 45 seconds, because it caused some insane fps drops, having them laying around throughout the game.

Good shooting btw :)

Cheers 

Thanks for playing and for your video. Glad to hear you had fun considering it's a different game than what you’re usually playing. 

You actually landed some cool headshots from time to time. Also killed 2 zombies at once a couple of times. 

Cheers

Thanks for playing!

Yeah, I wanted to make sure there was enough ammo. 

I do want to make the zombies more surrounding the player, when they get alerted. Also make them able to duck at locations like the vent. Furthermore make them not glitch into the walls when you run around a corner or a doorway.

The full game will definitely have explosives. You will be able to craft grenades, molotovs etc as well.

Nice shooting btw :)

Cheers

Nice shooting there. You pretty much hit every shot. Well done!

Thanks, much appreciated. Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much for playing. Glad you had fun! 

Yeah the full game will include a lot of cool stuff such as new weapon types such as automatic rifles, grenades, a crafting system where you can craft special ammo, molotov cocktails etc. More enemy types with an advanced and unpredictable AI, More puzzles etc.
