ZKS is a very lightweight turn based strategy game, where the player controls a squad of characters as the fight against hordes of zombies. As it currently stands, the game contains the following:

  • 3 levels
  • 4 weapon options
  • 10+ characters, each with a unique identity
  • 10+ zombies, with a deep and complex A.I system

The game currently contains only one victory condition(Kill all zombies) and one failure condition(All characters dead).

A single mission should be completable in under 10 minutes and there is no saving during missions. The game contains instructions and a small example video that can be viewed from the main menu. 

The game provides options for scaling the display to account for punch hole cameras & other such bits that could reduce the available screen space & a toggle between two camera modes based on the player's preference.

Bugs! There are sadly some still in there, which I can't seem to get out easily:

  • Input weirdness(Not picking it up, thinking it's somewhere else, etc.)
    • For some reason the system I'm using to detect the player's input occasionally glitches and thinks that the camera is significantly lower than where it actually is and thus the click/tap is hitting something completely different.
    • Switching to the alt camera mode sometimes fixes it.
    • For context, I explained it over here: https://twitter.com/davek032/status/1280150046797959168
  • Melee animations not synced up to anything & occasionally don't go(but do still have an affect)
    • Since the melee animations came from a separate source to the rest of the animations, they aren't quite as well synced up.
  • Zombies are still moving when control is restored to the player
    • This, I'll admit, still has me stumped. For some reason the A.I system doesn't seem to recognise the waits or wait until <Condition> that should pace the zombie turn out most of the time and thus restores control to the player near instantly. It's not game breaking, you just have to wait a second after hearing a zombie groaning sound.
