It was a close call, but we managed to make a playable tech demo of Undead for Zooparty. Demo is not going to be available for download (it's just way too rough), but if anyone is in finland this weekend, you can try it at Zooparty with a real Commodore 64. Here is a short gameplay video, recorded with Winvice + cartridge image.

It's been a year since last update here... I was busy with my actual day work, while learning to code with UE blueprints.

Vertical slice is done. It still has annoying bugs, but all the gameplay intent is in. I had to refactor all the code to allow adding more content.

I feel optimistic that I can soon start adding new enemies and levels.

Looking dope! Animation is unbelievably smooth. I take it this will eventually be a cartridge-only release?

Thanks! I think this has as many frames as Street Fighter III.

This is certainly going to be cartridge-only release, since everything has to be streamed. And Steam, of course
