I'm really proud of this level. Players who like easy levels can play this level too, but it gets more challenging in the higher waves of course. There are some items in the shop you can buy. All those things can keep you around 30 minutes entertained. Of course there will be future updates that add items to the shop or new gamemodes or bugfixes if needed.
Thanks for the attention!

This will be the design for now:

Not too special, but I decreased the size of the bars a little bit and made the fonts on the right thin.

I have some news for you!

I am lazy and I will only make 5 guns, 5 skills with 2 steps and only 10 ranks.

In every BWZ the game ends completely after you died. I want to change it. After you died you will come back to the menu and then you can leave the game with your collected EP or you can play another round. That would reset your progress though. Result: People who play the game often don't need to restart the whole level over and over again to play the game again.

The logic is growing. I improved the movement system. It needs less logic parts to function. Great!

Now something else: If you are interested, I could make a map tour in a video where I show off the map. So, are you interested?

New update!

I still have more than a month to make this Battle with Zombies real. That's enough time.

I have finished the logic for 3 weapons. 2 left. The sounds are really good. I like them. However the Magnum will be the last weapon. It's powerful but has a high reloading time because of the cylinder with the 6 bullets.

I am also thinking about removing the automatic reloading. And I am thinking about adding a cooldown time for actions like throwing a grenade or reloading a gun. Makes it more realistic.

I'll edit this when I have done more things in the project.

New update

All weapons are nearly done. Some logic is missing. And some skills too. I still have almost one month until the release of this level.

Many things are missing, but I am able to do it.

Stay tuned!

Any questions?

Haven't touched the level for some days. I don't need to hurry, because I know most of the logic though.

Just want to mention, that the new shop design is a little different compared to the classic Battle with Zombies menu design.

Some time is still left. Haven't done anything.

Shop is stil wip. Zombies have to be created. Skilllogic has to be planted and so on. Nothing big though. Stay tuned.

Update
Battle with Zombies 7's release will be delayed.

I messed up. Basically I need more time to realize my plans. I want it to be the best Battle with Zombies level ever.

Here's a picture of the sentry gun, which is one of the BigHelps/inforcement objects:

It looks horrible. I have to work on it.

However, stay tuned!

Hello! I am already working on Version 1.1. Here a list of some things that are in the update:


- Fixed bloodsprites
- New bloodsprites when hitting a zombie with the melee attack/bullets/grenade
- New item in the shop: SlowMo Field: Makes zombies nearby slowlier so you can escape/kill them easier
- (Maybe) a new gamemode

What do you think about it?

Version 1.1 out now!

- Small bugfixes
- updated bloodsprites
- new shopitem is available in the shop (slowmo field)

I have to say, the slowmo field is a really useful gadget in the higher rounds. In combination with the sentry gun it's very strong. Come and check it out!
---
Future plans:
10 waves instead of 5. A easy modification. Makes the game longer.

Have fun with the new update!

News

I am working on version 1.2 and I am making much progress. The new shop design looks fresh and bright. The logic is a little different. Adding new content is easier for me.
Here you can see the new shop design:
http://fs5.directupload.net/images/user/170913/u54ow6kq.jpg

ToDo List:
- Designing the rest of the shop
- Programming the new waves
- Programming the new weapon

Give me a week.

UPDATE:

The new shop menu is completely done. It looks good and it works. Here's a picture of the skillmenu:
http://fs5.directupload.net/images/user/170919/rfeh7jif.jpg

The new weapon is also done. The gun works and it sounds good. Only the new waves are missing. I wanted to add the logic (By copying the existing logic and changing some sensors and values) but the game keeps crashing. :/ It's too much, or I am doing something wrong.

Looks like Update 1.2 can be published very soon - tomorrow in 24 hours.

I think it's time to speak about something that bothers me here.

It looks like nearly nobody in the forums cares about LBP Vita anymore. Only a few have commented here and there and even played the level. The level still has 45 plays. Thats okay for me. Though I need to ask myself why I work on future updates when nobody plays it. We're not talking about less plays, we're literally talking about nobody playing it.

It's not the fault of the players who don't have a Vita, it's not the fault of players who don't have any time anymore because of their lifes, it's the fault of lazy people who could play the levels in LBPV or have enough freetime. And maybe it's the fault of some people who stopped playing LBPV just because it wasn't popular anymore. Thats really sad.

I am sorry if I offended someone here, but those are my thoughts right now. LBP Vita is my favourite game at the moment and I can't stop playing it and I don't want to stop playing it. But it's sad to look at the LBP Vita section and see that I am the only one who still creates levels in LBP Vita.

I think I will focus on my project 'Too Late' in LBP3. Many people are waiting.

Update
Performance related update

I was playing BWZ7 a few days ago. The performance is not satisfying for me.

Update 1.3 will:
- Improve the performance
- Tweak the balancing of the guns
- Fix the 'visual announcement system'
- And change the prices again

Stay tuned, whoever reads this.

Oh hey mdkd, are you announcing another update?

- Yeah mdkd, let's see who reads this

UPDATE 1.3 IS PUBLISHED
Change log:
- A new weapon - the laserpistol
- Bugfixes and other technical stuff
- A new menu section - the statistics
- A performance boost
---
I am very pleased with this update. Everything works, new content is available and the game runs almost smooth. The statistics are a cool addition. You can see how many kills you have, how many times you shot, which wave you were when dying and you can also see how long you survived (How many minutes you survived).

This update was made possible because of a few tips and facts, friends gave me. Thank, guys! I would be happy if you guys made screenshots of your statistics and posted it here.

Thanks for supporting!

I definetly added a lot of new content. I also planned more content such as challenges, a new gamemode, a new shopitem and a new area on the map.

But I'm afraid only a few players will see this. Thats why I am working on BWZ3 for LBP3.

Thanks, but it isn't that difficult to make all those things if you have the knowledge.
