The Last Stand: Union City – Alpha 0.75

Exciting. Can’t wait till the full game. XD

awsome its coming along great but there is 1 glitch id like to report even though you’ve probly seen it but when ever you backup and crouch at the same time the charactors legs dont move but his body does.

Yeah, there’s a bit of sliding going on in a few situations, going to address that this week.
- Con

sweet

Wow this is more cooler than the previous alpha also we could use a sprint con. Incase were outnumbered and had no choice but to flee and one more thing dont forget the quality button it gets lag when i turn on the flash light

Has it always lagged for you with the flashlight on?
- Con

Hey Con, just to let you know when you delete an item that you have equipped stays on you. I know its an alpha but just to let you know.

Ah yeah, should’ve mentioned that. I’ll add that to the notes, thanks for the reminder.
- Con

Not sure if this was under scrutiny, but the G17 Pistol says a fully automatic carbine assault rifle

I really need to fix that, it’s been picked up about a million times.
- Con

Awesome, second comment I hope. I was just about to play TLS 1 so I just checked the site before and I was like wow!

Timeline of comments:
Start – lol, you start out in your skivvies.
3 min – Wow, first time I found an assaut rifle.
7 min – So many clothes!
10 min – Blam blam, die zombies!
13 min – lol, I searched a shelf and I picked up the object called ‘none’.
20+ – Die zombies!

as I found a odd Item, it was called None. there was no description and it comes under clothing

Theres also an Item called “None”, weight zero, got it with a star

Oh, heh. Will have to remove that one. Was a holder item I think to stop the weapon system from breaking.
- Con

Hey Con,

when you press the control key your character will go into crouch, but pressing ‘control’ again won’t take you out of crouch. just thought i would let you know.

~GySgt. Murphy

Ah cheers, will look into that.
- Con

Awesome Stuff here Con, I love the Gas Mask. also Riot Gear Helmet. Keep it up

Oooh, someone found some special stuff
- Con

Hey Con,
I noticed that if you jump on boxes without stopping you will slide across them. Also: I walk through a door at one point and my torso and head was invisible until I moved the mouse.

Question: Will you be able to change controls in the full version? I use my left hand on the mouse and the default are difficult for me. I realize this may be a lot of work for a very small percent of the players, but I would really appreciate it.

Nicky

There’ll be a left handed and an AZERTY (European Keyboard) setup in the final game. They’ll be available in the options. As for the bugs you mentioned, thanks but they’re known from previous versions.

Can you give me more details on what keys you normally use for first person shooters?
- Con

brilliant
love the M16A2
will the clothes give the guy better defence and stuff. cos if not i think it id be fun to do a whole game in my boxers

Some clothing will, yes.
- Con

dont know iff you know this but when i switch to my melee it shows my rifle on my back and in my hand and i can hit with it

Yeah, bug with the empty hands.
- Con

Two things, first,
when you move the cursor diresctly below and above your character, he does some funny positions like his gun is down and his head is backwards

and second,THANK YOU!!!! i have been waiting for a while… also about my place in the chosen ads list… anything new?

We’ll come up with something for you, have a look at what I did for Danny.
- Con

one more thing. i like the mele and the fact you move slower going backwards
found a glitch were when you press space bar with a baseball bat it floats infront of your hands.

Yep, known. Added to the known bugs.
- Con

Okay thank you, if you need an alias for me, wildshadow or just colin would do… again thanks.

Con,
The controls I like to use are identical to normal controls simply on the opposite side of the keyboard. So instead of W, A, S, D I use I, J, K, L, O instead if E, U instead of Q, etc, etc. Thank you very much.

Nicky.

P for Reload?
- Con

hey con how how can I use the magazine things sorry for questioning you I’m just curious sorry :-/

You’ll be able to just click on them to use them like the health items. But it’s not implemented yet.
- Con

it would be nice if when you stand still you get better accuracy when you shoot
and when you crouch and dont move you get even better accuracy and less recoil
as opposed to moving kinda like a ghost recon kind of thing

i played the earlier alphas too doing a great job thanks so much. you have a really good platform here

Ummmmm, you do. Watch the crosshair between standing and crouching. Same for moving, jumping etc.
- Con

You asked for outfit combinations.

Wool Hat – Black
Handkerchief Face Mask
Suit Top
Cargo Pants – Camo
Black Shoes

Equipped with a M1911 Pistol and M16A2 Rifle

It’s awesome.

Hah, odd choice of suit top there, I like it.
- Con

Con,
You got it!

Nicky

Very nice – I like the sounds that are present on some of the weapons. Just a suggestion – couldn’t it be so that there is some advantage/disadvantage to wearing certain clothes? I don’t know if this is too complex or just an annoyance, but I think that perhaps wearing a hooded sweatshirt should make you a tiny bit slower (because it is a tad bit bulkier than a t-shirt) but offer a little bit more carrying capacity, as it has more pockets. You get the gist, I think. Also, I seem to have only found pistols (AKA fully automatic drum-magazine carbine-length tactical assault rifles!!!!!) and rifles. I saw a shotgun in the previous alpha. How about SMGs?

I’m trying to avoid adding too many stats to clothing, I’d like it to be mostly about appearance. Some clothing will have protective bonuses but I’ll be making sure they look badass enough that you want to wear them.

- Con

Possible Glitch

When I deleted something out of the inventory, all the other items would start being highlighted when I moved my mouse over said items and wouldn’t un-highlighted the items that had been highlighted.

Ah yeah, that’s another known one. Thanks I’ll add it to the list.
- Con

are you going to put items in their most commonly found places

e.g. assault rifles army barracks or police station

you know what i mean? specific weapons or items in specific places or is it all gonna be random

Yeah, items have 2 deciding factors as to where they can be found. The first is location type, so say apartment block and the second is room type say bedroom. It’ll be very rare to find something where it doesn’t belong, hopefully
- Con

Hey wouldn’t it be great if there were some type of armor? Or swat clothes maybe? I think that would be cool

Hey that’s why there’s an armor slot
- Con

Wonderful job on the Alpha. I really like the new clothes, you did very well on them.

A few bugs, though:
Earlier someone commented saying they lag with the flashlight on. This happens to me too, I’m on AT&T Highspeed internet with a Toshiba Satellite L305, 32-bit processing system, in case you need my statistics for any helpingness. Question, though. When I press Q (Like I would be toggling the Quality) My screen flashes, but nothing changes. Why is that?

This probably wont happen in the game, where once you search something it’s done, but when I searched the boxes (No matter what room I went to) They all had the same items. An example, the first box (Which was a cabinet) had Sunglasses Round and Wool Hat – Black no matter what, not always in that order. I have two screenshots, the second one is scrolled down one “page”.
http://img8.imageshack.us/i/hmmwp.jpg/
http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1004/hmm2n.jpg

Note: In the middle of writing this I glanced back at the Alpha, saw it was pitch black without my flashlight. I never noticed the Day/night effect before, is it new?

Also, is there a button to open your backpack? Most games use “i” as in inventory, but I couldn’t find one that did.

Nice job, once again.

Flashlight lag – Has nothing to do with your internet, it’s how fast your computer is. I’m looking at ways to optimise the effect. Pressing Q to change quality isn’t a standard thing in all Flash games, Q in my game is to switch weapons. You can right click the game and select a different quality in the menus there.

- Con

Food and inventory items are non-usable at the moment. Were they disabled? Everything else works great.

Meds are the only things that work at the moment. Rest isn’t implemented.
- Con

ohh yea with D/N cycle the flash light is too dim…

found the scar-h and xm-8 btw

sorry con there is another one X-D I see random floating hat but some time it disappear and pop up again when it walks and disappears again

Ah yeah, it’s a bug with the brown wool hat. I left another movieclip in there that I was using as reference
- Con

Wondering about a few things
*************************
Sorting would really be nice for the inventory to help keep it more organized.
Con: Yeah, I’ve been thinking the same thing. You can filter them by type only at the moment.

I noticed there is a box and a description of the item under it when you search does this mean there will be a picture of the items eventually when your searching.
Con: Nope, there’s too many items for me to do illustrations of every single one. They’ll have a “type” icon though.

I am not able to use the mouse wheel to scroll inventory and searching, would this be something to be added.
Con: What browser are you using? I’m having the same issue in Chrome. Unfortunately it’s nothing I can change on my end.

When walking to to the right your character can’t walk to the edge of the screen (if theres a door), but when walking left towards a door the camera stops like right at the door. i probly didn’t explain to well but heres a pic. just wondering if this is normal.
http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2350/rightsideleftside.png
Con: I’ll be changing the way doors work soon.

Bug like things
************
When reloading a melee weapon or gun that has full clip the reload bar shows up and doesn’t go away, until you actually reload a weapon or switch weapons.
http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1097/reloadstay.png
Con: Yeah, known.

When i searched dunno if this is a bug or not but the total weight comes to “.6999999999″ the 9′s go past edge of what can be seen.
http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/9643/69999999.png
Con: Known.

The flashlight light affects the brightness of the like “vww” in the black section on the top left. it continues to do this after it puts “1 Kills” up there.
http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/2515/flashlighting.png
Con: Debug text, doesn’t matter.

As probly known the M1911 pistol doesn’t have sound when firing.
Con: Yep.

Very thorough, thanks. Have annotated in place.
- Con

“I am not able to use the mouse wheel to scroll inventory and searching, would this be something to be added.
Con: What browser are you using? I’m having the same issue in Chrome. Unfortunately it’s nothing I can change on my end.”

I’m using FireFox, but wheel also doesn’t work for Flock or Netscape. It does however work for the IE browsers such as Internet Explorer, Avast and Maxthon.

Also the game loaded everything i had when i went from browser to browser which is quite awesome. So the save works great for me.

That’s really strange that it’s not working in Firefox, it does on my end. Might be a focus issue, I’ll look into it.

Just did some digging, problem is with the window mode I had set on the page itself. Changed, should be fine in most browsers now.
- Con

Knocking back with the spacebar makes most weapons float, great otherwise.

FPS drops harshly when the light is turned on.

Found the Crowbar and Riot helmet, couldn’t pick it up,and I had tons of space on my person : (

Otherwise fun, is it always night time in Union City?

hey con the Last Stand 3 is just like days 2 die the other side u can lvl up when killing zombie the difference about it days 2 die is u have to buy guns but in last stand u have to scavenge it and days to die is like a cartoon drawing

hey, thanks for putting the new alpha up. Gives me something to tinker for a while. The only bugs i came across through were the common ones. Sliding feet (absence of walking animation), The half bodied upside down torso and being a midget when hitting with melee weapons.

Anyway. any chance of seeing an smg in the game. perhaps an mp5 maybe? hmm? also not that i don’t like bare hands but can you add clothing for hands? biker gloves, knuckle bars, boxing gloves, etc?

last question, does the magazines (or books) work this time?

-Melo

I hope the backgrounds will be soo awesome and new weapons are featured. Con i was wandering about the M4 rifle. i thought it will stop til the ammo rans out. I think it went on Burst mode or Automatic?

I can’t understand what you’re trying to tell me.
- Con

to me like the black clothes looks like a ninja I miss gloves for hands

When changing weapon in the backpack screen
the ammo indicator does weird things.

What kind of weird things?
- Con

Thats right con i found all of ur hidden stuff

gas masks,riot gear,scar-h,pump action,AK47,sledgie,crowbar and others

you see con i can click search as many times as i want and eventually all ur hidden gear will pop up on my screen

OH NOES. I DIDZ NOT PROGRAMZ IT THAT WAY
- CONZORS

Awesome the wheel scroll works, with my FireFox now. That will make it a lot easier going through the large inventory. That was also a quick fix great work.

Will there be a way to make the game fullscreen?

I think one of the things you should left out for the game is the flashlight. I know you work hard on the shadow and lighting of the areas but it just doesn’t fit in. Sure you can say “why won’t a survivor carry a flashlight?” but all it does is light things up (obviously) though you can still see them (zombies that doesn’t bite) even if its very dark. And it causes a huge decrease on your frames when enabled (10-15 frames) . Its a flash game. A very big flash game that doesn’t need a flash light.

So what you’re trying to say is it makes your computer run slow, so no-one should have one?

I’m going to look at ways to optimise the effect before release.
- Con

lol your like my science teacher hahaha!

wow looking sweet so far keep up the good work and the suit with black hat and bandana mask looks cool with the m4

is the final game also automaticly going to save between play sessions? can you save like multiple games? i could imagine i do not want to continue with one game everytime. can you have like a few different games?

Yes yes and yes.
- Con

oh, and are the closets with items refilling everytime in the final game too? i hope not, it wouldnt be very realistic.

No of course not.
- Con

I have to say Con, awesome developing on the game!
This gets better and better with every new bit of info released! =)

A combination I would like to see seems to be missing one little item though…

*Baseball Cap – Red
*Suited Top
*…
*White sneakers

What I’m missing here is a ‘Blue pare of Shorts’ to match AC/DC’s Angus Young outfit! LOL
Would be great to walk around like him, smashing up the Zombies!

Maybe another suggestion would be this:

*Wool Hat – Black
*…
*Hooded Sweatshirt – Blk
*…
*Black Shoes

Add some ‘Cargo Pants – Black’ and a ‘Hockey Mask’ to it and… HEY!… JASON LIVES!!!
You can use the ‘Kitchen Knife’ to top off the outfit of course… but you could also add a ‘Hockey Stick to the weapons inventory…

Keep up the great work Con! I’m anxious to check out the final result! =D

I would like to report a glitch. If you melee and shoot at the exact same time when going through a door you’ll come out the other side unable to move, shoot, or bash. The only thing you can do is crouch.

Keep up the great work!

Odd one, but it won’t matter as I’m changing how doors work.
- Con

This is what i’m wearing (love the clothes)
***********************************
WOOL HAT – BLACK
HANDKERCHIEF FACE MASK
LONG SHIRT – BLACK
JEANS – BLACK
BLACK SHOES
***********************************
Just noticed that it says “BLACK SHOES” and not “SHOES – BLACK”, only observation doesn’t matter.
But on the list next to the guy it has “FEET” and under it shoes that “FEET” is equipped instead of “BLACK SHOES”.
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2595/blackshoes.png

Both the Woodland Camo Pants and Urban Camo Pants show as “CARGO PANTS – CAMO”. The description for both is also the same.
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3164/camopants.png

When switching from any inventory tab to the Clothing one the color of the dudes skin is off for a split second.
(Left side of the pic is what it looks like during that split second, then it changes to what the right side looks like.)
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/6519/guysskincolor.png

Also text saying “RELOADIN” shows up with the shotgun only, that i’ve noticed. When your facing right it shows fine, but when facing left it shows like “NIDAOLER”.
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8144/nidaoler.png

When pointing the flashlight at the window during night time, it seems to light up the city.
http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/4677/flashlightcity.png

Final thought for now
Would be cool if you could turn on the lamps in the rooms.

Con when the game is fully release can we still play our character/ avatar?I mean i really liked the appearance of my character.

No, it won’t be this easy to find all that stuff in the final game either.
- Con

Plus there are no pic or image of the equipments on the right while i was searching some stuffs.

weapons i found:
M1911 pistol
M16A2
PPM 9 pistol
Shotgun
G17 pistol
Kitchen Knife
Bat
Scar-H

GOOD WEAPONS sorry i didnt add it on my last comment

M16 mag seems to stay in mid air when reloading in front of cupboards. I like the M16, its nice and well powered. The Colt lacks power (seems less powerful than the Glock, which is… not right!) and sound (obviously). The Glock was a nice weapon, I enjoyed using it. Whether or not other people are pulling my leg or not… I did not find any other weapons bar those mentioned.

As for the clothes, nice selection…

Great alpha i love it.
Very good way you did with the Last Stand Union City that it isn’t no more behind barricades and stuff that it will be a story game and rpg at same moment with some walking and much much bigger. I’m waiting it very very much im very impatient but i like better good done games then badly and hardly done games just saying.
Keep the good work up Con.

well done con and hopefully youll get it done asap.
oh, and theres an ak47? cant find it

Sweet.

Its all looking good, finding lots of stuff again, will have lots more fun with this one.

Are there any ‘armour’category items hidden away in there? I haven’t found any yet.

I think someone mentioned this: There aren’t clothes for hands. Will you make gloves/watches etc or will it be too much work?

PS I think the suit top is awesome too.

very nice. i only had one problem when the game froze a few times but after a while it seemed that it worked finely. keep up the good work

will there be a way to search zombies after you kill them? like take their clothes and stuff like that. (but mostly shoes cuz who would want to wear a dead guys clothes)

with the items you find that are junk will it be possible to combine them into something like a malatov cocktail. kinda like bioshock where you can configure things at the invention machine with a combination of useless items to make a useful item

I personally just prefer the all black look, some more realism to it. But I guess there is the argument on weather zombies use their smell more than sight but screw it im wearing my black urban camo!

P.S. Where are the forums I took a break from looking at this site a while back because I had to revise for my programming course at University.

I took them down, kids were playing up, not worth my time
- Con

Oh and will there be any possibility to switch fire modes out of curiosity?

No
- Con

I most say the game is so far pritty amazing but i knew it would me because i like all your games. Didnt play it enough before commenting to find all the other things people mentioned. Keep up the great work.

An Activated Flashlight makes my [Fitness +5] walking slower.
I don’t know if this is an bug or just [Ubuntu 10.04] graphiclag. But i think it’s my first idea of .. ..
There are Tons of M16 in the game

d3wd

For the gazillionth time, the flashlight is killing your crappy computer, it has nothing to do with it slowing the character down on purpose. ARGH!
- Con

After i changed from G17 Pistol to Scar-H to Shotgun the Scar-H Ammunition bar from the Scar-H has been setted into the background from the Shotgun-ammunition and half-stays there. [with Empty Bullet signs.] The “living” ammunition bar of my actually selected Shotgun just Overlays the Old from the Scar-H.
The Scar-H has no sound too.
I would to please you to release and list of the weapons without sound so i [and others] can let them on the ground and the searchlog has an new usergroup to handle. [If you fix the Bugs in that kind of way.]

~d3wd

… me, again. The G1z7 Pistol has the same weight as the Shotgun [weight 7]. So. I’m not Jean Claude VanDame and so i care. Is this an mistake?!

~d3wd

Con, it´s totally awsome. Can´t wait for the full game to come out.
Oh, a bug. When you kill a zombie that is in front of you, he fells, and you try to walk away, but you get stuck on it´s feet. But I can walk to the other direction.

… to find the XM8 seems to Solve the Ammunition-bar bug. Completely

The Flashlight that is integrated into the XM8 does the Player Slowdown too much also.

~d 3wd

3 things i woulndt say firts how i can find special things in the newest alpha at second are my style that i like in the game full camo clothes and at last my second style i like is full suit clothes pease answer me

Keep searching.
- Con

Yo Con, just a little Q here…

If you walk over a puddle of blood or go Kamakazie on a horde of zombies and blood splatters all over the place: Will Blood get on your clothing?

And also…

Heres my clothing fits…

Head: Baseball Cap – Blue
Face: HankerChief Face Mask
Torso: Long shirt – Green
Armor: None
Legs: Cargo Pants – Camo
Feet: White Sneakers

And Also… The Feet category just says “FEET” not like “White Sneakers” or “Brown shoes”

Working on some blood spatter effects for characters, won’t be from walking through it though.
- Con

i have picked some magazines or books if you want to call them that pertaining to skill increases like speech gun etc are those going be permanent in game, also when do we get to see the actual stats of said character so we what are abilities are actually at in these alphas. also noticed that the m1911 pistol has no sound to it but the ak47 and m16 do, didn’t if you knew this already. i ll keep looking more at the game to see if anything else i should point out.

You can shove the zombies out of the screen

Oooh, wall detection mustn’t be on during shoves. On it.
- Con

Are there any other weapons in this alpha besides assault rifles, pistols, and melee weapons? I have yet to find shotgun.

Hey Con,

Just want to say that personally, I think toggle crouch is the way to go. Others may disagree, so maybe you should include an option to choose between toggle and hold?

Keep up the good work!

It’ll be an option, so everyone’s happy. Just wanted to see how those who asked for it felt about how it worked.
- Con

- Legs keep walking. [could be really scary to newbies, you should release 0.85.]

Let this be my last posting for tonight.
~d3wd

Be more descriptive. In what situation do they keep walking?
- Con

The AK47 is not re-loadable when you drop the XM8 [and it stays in the gun slot] and you have the Shotgun in the second gun-slot- giving the AK47 the XM8 slot. You have 1 Magazine in the gun then it, when it’s empty the AK47 will not reload and give you an Second AK47 in the Shotgun slot.
The Shotgun stays in the Inventory.

~d3wd

I’ve found an Spatula.
~d3wd

Go Con!
Thanks for the Alpha, mate.

W’hen you switch from the AK47 to the FAL Battle Rifle it is the same overlay problem in the ammunition bar, but with White Bullet symbols.

~d3wd

i know this is just a known graphics bug but it made my day, when you crouch and and melle with your knife you turn into midget with no pants on

really love the way the inventory is coming tho, i believe you mentioned there would be something like shops i look forward to seeing what that interface looks like

Got best costume.

Black Wool Hat
Hankerchief Face Mask
Suit Top
Black Jeans
Balck Shoes
M16A2
Baseball Bat

URBAN NINJA

Hey Con for some reason when i play the alpha the room is completely black. just wanted you to know.

Check your version of Flash is up to date.
- Con

Con are you thinking of making the sound affects in the next alpha I just love all of the sounds they make.

Sound will be added as I go, it’s fairly time consuming, I’m trying to get the core gameplay stuff down first.
- Con

holy **** it so GOOD!,good job man and best of luck,i feel free to say if you manage to get the game up it will and IS the best free game ever made:)

Nice Alpha, Con. Can’t wait ’til the actual game. Like the Suit Top, very stylish and classy, which is not common in zombie blasting games. I’ve been waiting for this game a long time, glad to see it’s coming along.

I also found all hidden gear…

For some reason when I said take all in the box it didn’t seem to work until I found out that I had taken all 4 times. This has happened twice and then didn’t happen again but it was scattered. Look into it please it was annoying.

Look into what? I don’t understand your problem.
- Con

im wondering a few things, first, for the advertisement pic update;jonestown militiamen vs. aspenwood hunters. i want to no if australia has a football league (american football, not soccer/football) because i know ur australian, and i was kinda surprised.

2:can you post a pic of my zombie? i REALLY wanna see him (i named him jim)

No big american football league, but there are small clubs. I actually followed the NFL a fair bit growing up. Big games here though are Australian Rules Football and Rugby. No pads like you yank pansies

Will let you know when I make the zombie.
- Con

found a bug where you could crouch up too a zombie and start whacking it without it noticing you from behind.

is it natural or just me???

Yeah, you snuck up on him. The zombies react to movement and noise, they also react to being hit. Some are a bit quicker to react than others. You found one that let you beat him to death before he realised what was going on.
- Con

Con, the ak47 is a not shown as a picture it is just a blank screen and it isn’t showing or it is showing my m4a1 so can you fix it?

Sure can.
- Con

holy $*!t!!!! me and danny both love the same outfit. I was going to comment on it, then i read the comments and there was danny’s.

nice alpha con

hey i found a glitch when i push the clothing button 2 times it made my skin grey then went back to normal

Not a bug, it’s just loading the model.
- Con

Con
when I use the FAL and fired the bullets on the right hand side only go away after the 11th or 12th bullet. Sorry I don’t have a screenshot but it is there. BTW I might be nickpicking but shouldn’t there be different gas masks? Nah it’s fine other than that the game is solid and I will try and find some moer glitches…

Oh, ammo counter problems? Will check into that, what weapon were you using before that?
- Con

Is it normal that the game wont show what shoes you are wearing and says only “feets” even if you have shoes on ?

Yeah, just noticed that yesterday, forgot to get it to update the description.
- Con

how many assult rifles are in the alpha ive found an XM8 but no AK47

Man this is fun. my fav clothes is the gas mask and i also made him wear a buisness suit lol! Cant wait for the full game and also need to fix the sliding problem.

i like the suit and the wool hat and black shoes and the sunglasses

Oh yea con i found a problem. I found an Ak47 and it looks like the M16

Questions

1) Can you customize A.I. Survivors gear, so the added stats (if there are any added stats) help you as well (Like in Sonny and Sonny 2)

2) Going off of that, will wearing clothes have added stats (Speed, Armor etc.)

3) Will there be just automatic standard clothes in the beginning (T-Shirts etc) I’m not really into the whole “Start off in boxers” thing

4) If survivors have really awesome looking clothes/weapons you want to take, can you? I guess this is kind of an addition to Question 1..

5) Are we annoying you with all these questions? I don’t want the developer to be mad at the players…

Anyway everything (The ads, the alphas) looks great…keep it up…

No, kinda, no, no, yes.
- Con

hey con u got a remington 870 on the alpha? cause im a shithead redneck

to open the inventory, i cant use the tab option. Also, when i use the m16 my characters head sometimes floats

What do you mean you can’t? What happens when you press tab? Have you clicked on the game before you do it?

Just saying things doesn’t help, need descriptions. Otherwise I’m like a blind doctor trying to diagnose something
- Con

Hey con, to make it a little more realistic, could you put the items where you would actually might find it such as a gun in a closet or clothes in a dresser? Also, I can’t wait till the game comes out. Dude take your time and just chill out

Thanks for answering all my questions Con. I won’t ask any more (don’t want to hassle my favorite game maker…)

The ak47 is glitching out because the pic is not loading in the pic box is that a probrem or is it happening to everyone?

Yeah, will have to look at that. I haven’t found the AK for a while, will have to check it out.
- Con

Nice work con. Can you do a list of what sub machine guns are going to be in the game just like you did with the assault rifles. Or maybe all the weapons in the game if thats possible? Thanks con.

Nope.
- Con

… The legs are moving when i’m stuck on some pseudo-lag. It’s like clicking outside the gamescreen, but i’m i do not. I will tell you more when it happened again.

~d3wd

It’s an reload bug.

~d3wd

I love this alpha is there a plan in the next alpha to male the guns have sound I just love how the sounds are put in. Please respond.

Of course I’m putting sounds in, answered this in an earlier post.
- Con

Nahh, it’s not, it happens when you walk and shoot and it’s not relict from shooting your gun empty.

When it appears you cannot move before you made one more click. {Even when the cursor was in-game all the time.}.

It’s an bug and it’s nerving. Thats why i know that it is.

I use ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx.

~d3wd

It sounds like it’s your computer lagging, how old is it?
- Con

Great alpha, keep up the good work! Also, I like this outfit:

Wool Hat – Black
Sunglasses
Suit Top
Cargo Pants – Camo
Black Shoes (it says feet, omgwtfbbqlol)

So I guess the only new bug I found was that the shoes read as feet in the equipped item menu.

Hey obviously has a few bugs but this game will be great. You have really made something of this whole Last Stand series and it’s become some top quality entertainment. Hats off to you Conartist, hats off.

I dont know why but for some reason, the game resets every time i reload the page deleting everything.

just a question. why can’t you wear sunglasses and handkerchief face mask at the same time?

Because there’s only one slot for the face. Didn’t want to overcomplicate stuff even further with head/face/eyes as separate slots.
- Con

AWESOME!

In the description for the camop cargo army pants it says “in” twice.

my faveorite outfit combo is the black suit with the tie the wool hat the hanckecheif mask the black jeans and the white sneakers

You guys are really loving that suit jacket.
- Con

hey con i love this so much. but as an avid shooter i found some inconsistencies with the guns. the first is that the FAL is less accurate than the ak. i’ve fired lots of fals and ak’s and in all my experience the FAL has been MUCH more accurate than the ak, more over the FAL uses the 7.62x51mm a much more powerful cartridge than the 5.56x45mm but it seems as if the m16a2 is much more damaging on a per-shot basis than the fal. i also had an epiphany regarding upgrades. what if, by mounting optics you could move the cursor further over to one side of the screen. also i think it would be cool if you could choose to purchase longer barrels for added velocity (at the expense of weight) as well as thicker barrels for accuracy. another idea i had was to add things like match grade triggers or bipods to increase accuracy even more while crouching.
sorry i wrote you a message of tolstoyian proportions, i just felt like i, as a die-hard fan, should share an opinion.

my favorite outfit right now is
head:wool hat-black
face:sunglasses round
torso:suit top
legs:jeans-black
feet:black shoes

hey con great job this game is worth the wait anyway i just created a game on my website also known as crazymonkeygames.com its called autumn wars but its not enough to beat your game you have better ideas than me well union city is gonna be sweet! good job with the game your the best zombie creating game ever! have a great day con sincerly lst3

Oh you made autumn wars did you? Just made it did you, on your website crazymonkeygames.com. Well I never.
- Con

1.What’s a favorite costume of mine?

TORSO – Suit Top

LEGS – Black Jeans

FEET – Brown Shoes

2.I don’t know too much about Dead Rising, but I’d say, with that awesome hair style and 5′o clock shadow, I’d say that’s nice Frank West action going on .

3,Can’t wait for the actual game, oh, and brown jackets or whatever you call it, then I can make the character look like Ethan Mars!

4.
…….Good Luck on the “keeping fans satisfied” thing too, because I can tell the game isn’t coming out till Summer or Winter.

5. …….random, don’t have to answer, question, but will there be helicopter of chocolate?

Hey Con, this new alpha has sparked a new question. Will zombies drop clothes?????

No, I’m not sure you want to risk wearing blood soaked zombie clothes.
- Con

Great job on this game, it’s coming along very nicely and I can’t wait to play it. This is one of the few games that I was/ am really excited for and have watched it since the first announcement.

I would love to see some funny/ strange outfits if you have the time to make them, maybe a clown suit….

Thank you for all your hard work

Con,
i was wandering, since you can have camo pants, is there going to be like a army helmet you can wear for protection?

Read through the other comments.
- Con

this question doesnt really relate to the clothes but in the last stand 2 you could seach everything and eventually you would find everything in the city. will that be the case in union city or will the searching be random everygame? once again sry for the random question.

Searches are based on a bunch of factors. There’ll be base objects which are set for each container, but then you’ll have a chance of finding other useful items through your search skill.
- Con

The M16A2 seems to be on burst mode rather than full automatic. I click, but the gun only fires two or three shots before stopping; then I have to click again. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to do that, (I don’t know anything about guns) but the XM8 is the only other automatic gun I’ve found, and it works correctly.

Also, after having deleted both from my inventory, and refreshing the page, I got a G17 pistol and an M1911 pistol. But I shot at least a magazine each before the ammo meter started decreasing. It stopped happening after I reloaded and didn’t happen again after deleting them from the inventory and re-finding them.

military helmet
handkerchief face mask
suit top
armor?
cargo pants-camo
black shoes

again, armor?

Armor. Yes. Body armor.
- Con

Very nice alpha, man. I did notice one thing, however. When I refreshed the game while wearing the blue ball-cap, I lost the cap.

Wait Con, I just noticed. What happened to the fat zombies? Also the dogs.

Are you going to add a gloves category?

They’re coming kac, they’re coming. As for gloves, not sure, gotta think about it.
- Con

Hey mate, just thinking, it would be nice to have a death animation where the guy falls FORWARD, when you shoot him from the back. Just thinking.
Love the way the M16A2 sounds and looks. AND SLEDGEHAMMER!!! AWESOME!!!! But no crushed skulls tho. nah jk

I don’t know if you know about this, but when you crouch and melee, you suddenly stand up, but your legs grow real short, and you move at the same speed as when you are crouching. So it looks like a midget bashing a zombies dick with a sledgehammer LOL

Yep. Got it.
- Con

I’m still deciding on my outfit.

Noticed major problem with flashlight. It makes me go at lows of 2 FPS…

You will get some big drops in framerate occasionally. Is it constant though?
- Con

going good so far con the suit top black jeans black shoes handcercheif face mask and black wool hat is my favorite combination

My system is 2003, afaik enough for an flash.

~d3wd

Yeah 7 years old is quite old. My grandparents have a computer that is newer.
What is the average FPS you are getting with and without the flashlight being on?
How well do my other games run for you?
- Con

Whenever my flashlight is on, I get FPS ratings of below 20. That 2 was because I was reloading with my flashlight on while I was jumping around though. But ya. And my computer uses Vista, basic, but still, it shouldn’t get that sort of lag should it?

All I know is the flashlight kills my FPS.

Yeah, Flash just isn’t great at processing graphic heavy stuff, it’s annoying. The thing about the FPS drops is if they are constant and noticeable. If it doesn’t go above 20, that’s not great. I’m looking at ways to optimise the flashlight effects and I may have an option for low end computers to have it work differently.
- Con

sorry abit off topic but congrats on having warefare 1917 reach 20 million plays

Hey, cheers. Didn’t realise it was even close, cool.
- Con

Hi all Just saying my fav outfit is

:
Wool hat black.
Jeans black
Black shoes
Suit top
handkerchieft face mask

Also Just want to throw some smgs
in the air

MP7, Mp5, Ingram Mac 10 , Ump45,And the all famous P90
Maybe some automatic handguns to con.

Love the gore effects so far in the final product are we going to see Head exploding O wait there goes one

bugs You can equip the same gun in the boths slots which causes you to stop reloading

I found a broken m1911 pistol no sound

White sneaker? Should be white snakers.

Any con i gave it a good half hour blast and its 5/5 fun mate Keep up the good work.

Favorite outfit:
military helmet
gas mask
suit top
jeans black
white sneakers

and the shotgun and ak 47

And about the Cupboards, “A” isn’t the best key for take all, i take all stuff when i try to walk away. Maybe its just me.

Dikke4eD

another bug

if you crouch and hit with your bat, your legs stretch and stick out of your torso from the knees

btw in he real game will you be able to stand by one search place and just keeping searching that on point and still get items> just wonderin

No, that’d be kind of pointless and unrealistic wouldn’t it, it’s just that way for testing.
- Con

i has 2 questons for you

1: when you have survivors, will you have a temporary camp? or do you just wander.

2:do you ever get tired (i mean hurt them tired) of people asking “when willl TLS 3 come out” when you clearly stated it like 2 days ago?

1. Dunno.
2. Yes. Almost as sick as I am of people asking me if I’m sick of things
- Con

FINALLY i can get the m16 with out having to waste so much time and i can change cloths LS:UC will be awsome when it comes out

dont know iff you knew this already but somtimes when i swap weapons i had double ammo bars mashed together

you know how your not gonna allow glasses and hankecheif at the same time why not have glasses and hanercheif as one item

A glasskerchief?
- Con

Con, when I reset the save i just find the same things like before i reseted it. Can u help me, I wanna find more Pistols and rifles! I have only find: colt 1911, Glock 17 and M16A2.

Keep searching.
- Con

Wild mans survival guide: how to grow a beard and live in a tree apperently.

I just LOL’D.

yo nice weapons con, cant wait

and another thing. can u get like different kinds of camo? like arctic and jungle and all that good stuff? jw.

and i found as glitch. i found the xm8 and it wouldnt let me take it.

Too much weight.
- Con

favorite outfit is all black clothing and gas mask lol

It seems good.

On a side question, as you said in a thread, are you going to clean up the forums or are they locked forever? I just want to know so I don’t keep checking every week.

Hello Con,
i found searching dialog box quite confusing. Well meybe it isn´t right word – just going through twenty summaries of things in minute is a bit boring.I think it could have nicer looking easly and be well-arranged– just do in front of item schematic icon,then players can navigate themselves better.Still it has problem with junk items… can be made like this: only weapons, health and ammo have its picture, things like clothing,stats boosters and junk have shared universal icon.
PS. I hope you understand that because my english skil is … uhm … not good.

And some bugs:
Players in inventory have same weapon as primary and secondary.
Head is rendered behind torso,so it look weird if you look down.

Thats all. I just hope you aren´t bored with reading suggestions already.
Your fan

I never asked for suggestions.
- Con

Ah yes, here is a bug. If you jump into another room, you cannot walk in it, only slide.

Well i cant wait to see what the city looks like. I hope its going to be a huge. I mean i really wanted to feel what means to be in a street or in a sidewalk that is full of dead bodies.

I took them down, kids were playing up, not worth my time
- Con

Kids are doing to the forums to what they did to multiplayer on video games it seems. Annoying and not worth the trouble.

will survivors have jobs,like policeman survivor wud hav in creased armour and a pistol,army wud have machine gun,civilian wud have lamp,bat etc. and firemen axes and armour,doctors medic kits and pills

i dont know if you know this but the room with the box in if you hold a&d you go left when you hit the box it only shows the first walking animation only
if you crouch your waist disconnects
you look up wile pressing a&d you swich sides REALY fast while walking same for crouching (try its funny)

I can tell your hating some of these suggestions and questions that you have already addressed so im just going to say; LOVE THE GAME (:
But their are a couple….ill shut up

question for ya on handkerchief why not call it a bandanas or a kerchief was wondering.

Yeah, gonna change it to bandana.
- Con

My favorite combination

-Military helmet
-Green shirt
-Camo pants
-Brown boots

With a m16 and a shotgun, it reminds me of cod: modern warfare

Hello there. Big fan of your work here. As you asked here is my clothing combo:
-Black Wool Hat/Army Helmet/Riot Helmet
-Handkerchief Mask/Gas Mask
-Black Hoodie
-Failed to find any body armor so far but I’m still searching
-Camo cargo pants
-White sneakers
Few things I’ve noticed during playing
-no matter what footwear I’m in it still says feet (but you are probably already aware of that)
-after playing for a long time I’ve begin to face 10+ zombies at a time. Is it gamelength related, day/night cycle related (their numbers started to increase around 7pm), or XP bar filling for a few times related ?
-don’t take that as a offence to your art skill or something but gas mask/riot helmet combo doesn’t look that good together
-can’t find any ammo for scar in inventory (or is it intentional as it’s a “special weapon”)
-do you get weight info for guns from somewhere or are making it up as you go ?

Anyway keep up the good job, and take as much time as you need while working on it. Also don’t forget to take a break once in a while. Cheers.

Zombie numbers going up is related to character level, as you’re levelling up (which does happen behind the scenes). Ammo for SCAR, ammo is a bit wonky at the moment, sorting it out. Gun weights are from wikipedia.
- Con

im not sure if this would be too much work but it would be cool if you could dual wield pistols you find just a thought

I saw above you said something about certain objects appearing more in rooms that they are more likely to be found in i think the individual containers should do that too. (if you didn’t already plan on that) Like you are more likely to find book related items in a book case rather than a suit jacket or in a wardrobe you are more likely to find clothes than books.

I found the FAL battle rifle but my inventory was to full and couldn’t take it…

Found a glitch- trying to melee a zombie while it is on the ground.

Hmmm, haven’t tried that yet. Cheers.
- Con

^^…Uh, won’t hurt it. ^^

This Alpha’s a huge improvement of the previous one, and just like the guy above me (Hey that guy!) I can’t wait to see the city streets, hope that’ll be the next Alpha! (Also, the Suit top, black jeans, black shoes and sunglasses look awesome, it makes you feel more badass!)

also i dont know if you know but theres a tiny problem with the clothing because when you put on shoes it says in your inventory that you still have feet (like i said very tiny glitch) so yea just wanna see if you know

When I was walking and I tried to get stuff I had 49.9 pounds when I had 32 before is that a glitch or am i acidentilly grabbing the stuff?

Might be accidentally taking all with the A key in the search menu.
- Con

i also wanna say that when you put on wool hat black,handkercheif mask,hooded shirt,black pants,and black shoes you look like some kind of comando

awesome, looking for those “speacial items”, already found riot helmet!
keep the demos coming, loving the m16a2 in 3-shot burst!!!!!

found cool clothing combination
black shoes
hooded sweatshirt black
jeans-black
riot helmet
handkerchief face mask

i call it ghetto special forces

awesome game so far keep up the good work

this game is getting really close to being put out isn’t it?

Nope
- Con

Going great so far! Do you reckon you could keep posting the competition type things (like the advertising) thanks anyway!

Sorry to comment again! Great Alpha a zombie just came running at me and scared the living daylights out of me… Just thought i would tell ya!

BLASFAMY. I dunno how that is spelled so I just took a shot at it. Anyways, the lack of overall sound is driving me insane. I keep muting my computer over and over again for I thought it was muted. Curse you game design! You should really be able to just go into the code section and type in “Q”, and flash will make the game for you.

BLASTPHAMEY!

Yeah, that’s why everyone isn’t making games.
- Con

”When you look at the stats for the sledge it says ‘large metal bar with a hooked end’

I look like James Bond. Suit Jacket, Black Jeans and black shoes. And sunglasses.

baseball cap-black
handkerchief facemask
hooded sweatshirt-black
jeans-black
shoes-black

it says i have nothing equiped on feet but i do dang in the dark room after a minor brawl with zombies a ‘dead’ zombie jumped up and scared me PS can you make it possible to meele the zombs on the floor i h8 wasteing ammunition on a zombie that was dead but wasnt shure

i h8 when you run out of room and you find something you want then clear some space and its gone

what does star mean

i like how it gets soo dark you cant see your character but yet he can still search creates with the flashlight turned off with no problem how bout have zombies hiding in the cubbards when you search them a zombiie jumpes out at you

I got a bug for you Con. When you Walk you guy doesnt want to stop he keeps walking and when i play the fps gets really low and that will be a major problem for when you get the game up and running cause i really wanna play this.

I know you really hate suggestions and Q&As con but i really need to know if their is a place were you can store your stuff (like a house) so your not always giving away weight just to get new weight. because i finally found the shotgun but i had too much weight.

Won’t be an issue in the final version because that shotgun will always be there, it’s not going to move or disappear until you take it.
- Con

Hey, i were smashing some zombiee head with the M16, then i switch to the shottie and the ammo “Fuses” it appears M16′s ammo over the shotties one, and for the outfit:

-Military Helmet
-Handkerchief (WTF?)
-Green Long Shirt
-Black Jeans (Make some Green Camo maybe?)
-And Black Shoes

Good call, it should be called a bandana, huh.
- Con

update con! i found out that it only lags and goes low fps when you turn flashlight on.

picked up riot helm/mil helm/gas mask. Good stuff.

Things that would be better:
Make the long sleeves shirts…long sleeve. Not just rolled up
Maybe some sort of mid weapon between the crowbar/machete and the sledge. Jeez the sledge is RIDICULOUS.
Also would like to see 2 types of shotguns, like double barrel and drum fed(yes, FO3 style)

Also, the pistols should have an advantage or something for the assault rifles, like maybe being able to pull them out faster? Because as it is, it’s better to have an assault rifle (or sledge, as I think all the other melee are completely pointless) secondary, to your main rifle instead of a pistol.

Hey Con,
I was just wondering how the whole survivors thing is going to work. How many survivors can you have, will they be right behind you the whole time. Also in TLS2 I’ve noticed that if you give a machine gun or any gun in that area, they one shot one bullet at a time, unlike I were I’d keep the gun shooting non-stop until the zombie is dead.
And in you next Alpha you should think about putting atleast one survivor in it to show how it will work.

But umm, toward this Alpha I like it alot, its awesome, well besides the few glitches/bugs what ever you’d like to call them. Keep up the work =p

i found a small glitch, when equipping the brown wool hat in the black space above the game screen it has a quick flash of most hats (a very quick cycle of them)
sweet game con!

never mind the last comment, the hat icons cycles about every 2 seconds on the green part of the equip box

sorry about a third comment… the cycling icons follow the character even in gameplay even from room to room… sorry about the comments

I found a FAL! It also doesn’t make a firing sound.

hi con , just wanted to add that when i press Escape the game freezes ,

hipkiss

It’s paused, hit it again.
- Con

Hey Con why not put a radar for the weapons like last stand 1

and what do the stars beside items mean

Skilled / Lucky finds
- Con

well sorry i said it was a glitch. i didnt even notice. lol.

if you press ~ it shows some text box
wat is it

Developer console
- Con

Just a few questions/comments
-How many improvised weapons will you be adding?
-About how many clothing options will be in the final games as opposed to now?
-Will we be able to add more types of clothing in the final game( like separate catagories for head items and face items).
-What about extra excessories like ammo bags, backpacks, ect.
-I like how it’s going so far and I cant wait for the final game! Keep it up man!

- No idea
- Probably 2 to 3 times as many
- Gloves maybe
- Thinking about it
- Con

Personally I think your games are awesome, they just get better and better every time. This one is without a doubt going to be the best out of all your games. Also so that guy named Last Stand 3 is the person making Autumn war 2. Anyway there’s a bug where after you switch from the M16A2 to the shot gun the ammo counter still stays the same.

My favorite clothing combos:
Head: riot helmet
Face: hankerchief face mask
Body: Long sleeved shirt-green
Legs: cargo pants- camo
Feet: Black sneakers

Head: Wool hat- brown
Face: Sunglasses
Body: Large sweater
Legs: Blue jeans
Feet: White sneakers

Head: None
Face: Round sunglasses
Body: Suit top
Legs: cargo pants -black
Feet: Brown shoes

Also who wears round sunglasses?… I DO

Looks very good for something still in the alpha stages. Keep up the good work.

are the zombies going to make sounds in the final game? and maybe a different sound when they notice you or somthing? just wondering, also will there be music in the final too?
Thanks Con
some guy

Please stop commenting and asking about stuff that’s not implemented yet guys, just wait and see rather than bugging me with all this inconsequential rubbish. Nothing against you “some guy” it’s just you broke the camels back with this post.
- Con

hahah, i’m so sorry man, i think were all getting a lil giddy, the game looks great and pleas dont rush, this game has got serious potential & is going to be a work of art
sincerly
someguy

Have to wait 2 months for this a small alpha … though the first beta will be released at the end of the year with this rate of progress, right Con? Dont you have any assistant ? You just’ve done all by yourself ? I’ve seen you do every thing from scripting to answering comments. Poor Con.
Anyway, ive some suggestion for you:
– the searching system : Me found a SCAR. Me happied. Me clicked the SCAR. Me downed. Why ? Cause i’ve full . What could i do ? Throw away some stuffs, then pick it up. That mean i had to close the search window. And when i opened it again, the SCAR disappeared ! And I cried ( kidding ). So, will you connect the search window with the inventory ( like Fallout )? That means when search a place, the game will open the inventory immediately, make it easier to trade or put away stuffs.
- minigames : will you add some ?
- weapons : you said that we could attach something to weapons . Can we customize them? Like changing barrel, stock, butt, magazine… to improve something ? Like fire rate, power, recoil…

Hope there will a Last stand 3D.

And Warfare 2044.

Thanks for posting me.

Have a read of my post below this one. Explains a bunch.
- Con

Hey found another glitch.
If you melee shove as you walk trought the doors you freeze holding your gun and you can move, shoot or swap weapons.

I will continue my viligant hunt for glitches!
ewet8

Repeted it twice more, as you press space as soon as it goes black you freeze.
I know how much you like the exact details.

Ok cool. It doesn’t matter though as I’ll be changing how the doors work. You’ll have to activate them via a key, that’ll lock out your controls while it loads the next room.
- Con

Glitch:

Sometimes when I try gunning down the zombies at close range, the gun sticks out of the zombie and I can’t get a shot off at them. Usually I resort to pushing them or aiming downwards, but still, its a very annoying glitch.

Yeah, it’s a problem with the zombie’s attack range.
- Con

The inventory becomes cluttered when you collect the same items, i think instead of repeating the collected item down the list, it should just number it as a (x2).

The amount of items you’ll actually carry in the final game will be much less. On top of that, I’ve added some smarter filtering where it groups certain item types together as well as orders them alphabetically.
- Con

MY choice of clothes

head – none
face – sunglasses
torse – suit top
legs – jeans black
feet – black sneakers

ur now a CIA officer hahah =D

My favourite clothes

head:baseball cap-black
face:handkerchief face mask
torso:hooded sweatshirt-blk
legs:cargo pants
feet: brown shoes

I think it looks good!

there are some glitches i found. In the inventory if you use it too often in one room the items you scroll over will stay highlighted even if the mouse the no where near it.

heheheheheh scar is fun

Just Posting My Favourite Outfit Dont Rip My Balls Off Con

RED CAP
RED SHIRT
BLACK PANTS
BLACK SHOES
HANKERCHIEF FACE MASK

looks awesome

hey man, remember what i said about the flashlight?
“So what you’re trying to say is it makes your computer run slow, so no-one should have one?”
no. no-one should have one? I’m not a spoiled brat if thats what you think. What i meant was the flashlight wasn’t of much importance in the game as i see it. You can still see what you shoot at, so whats the point? is it some sort of a gimmick? My suggestion is just the game would be better if it doesn’t have it. heck, if it weren’t for the betterment of the game i would just turn it off. still Con, do what you think is best…

and hoping for smgs in the next alpha…

Play until about 2:30am game time and tell me if you need a flashlight.
- Con

Hankercheif face mask
black jeans
black hoodie
black shoes
black wool cap
shotgun
crowbar

Man, all these people are whining like crazy about a game they’re not even making.

Stupid children these days. I dunno how you deal with it Con.

I haven’t found any glitches outside of what people have been telling you but I will definitely keep looking.

Any plans on having ambient sound (like car alarms, radio fuzz, TV, etc) during the game?

I’m still seeing the weapon floating when i ‘pushback’ (spacebar)

Deleting an item that is worn does not remove it from your character

Read the post.
- Con

haven’t explored that kind of time and
as you said, i played until 2:30 and here’s how it goes…

room (left) = dark but i can still see the deadmen lying and waiting. room (middle) = very dark but still can (barely) see those that are lying around. room (right) = the darkest of all. And as you prove your point, this is where i needed the flashlight. Still i choose to turn it off as how i like seeing my character crept through the unknowing darkness and seeing just muzzle flashes from the gun, oh and cause my fps were dropping by 15-20 too ^^ . And don’t give me that you have crappy computer stuff, i have a good pc and i know my stuff, i just don’t think flash games this big aren’t cut out for heavy gfx processing. though now that you think about it, a lot of people (mostly kids) will be complaining “why doesn’t he have a flashlight? he’s a survivor for god’s sake.” thanks for pointing it out. Expecting it would be fixed though in the final release.

bug. glitch.normal?didn’t know if you include dismemberment in the game but after shoving this guy back for 5 times and shot his torso, he was cut in half. this is the 1st time i saw that, cause mostly its just entry wounds then they kiss the ground. Anyway since you put riot helmet, any chance of putting a riot shield? (well i doubt that) and add a feature that your character can be knocked back too, your zombies can run right? just like romero’s? if they are fast enough or in groups, they can tackle you down. End of my story, i’m prolly writing too much

“i just don’t think flash games this big aren’t cut out for heavy gfx processing” – I do, so deal with it. I’m not removing the flashlight. I’ll be making optimisations to it’s performance and possibly adding a low detail alternative to it, but yeah, it’s not going anywhere. It’ll be an integral part of the game.
- Con

bug found ,i found an item whicch was 999999999 weight but when i took it it did’nt slow me down

is there already armor to be found?

Nope, none in there yet.
- Con

weapons of choice crowbar ak47 and the shotgun,and the pistols one starts with g other m can’t remember full names.

good luck with rest of game making process.

Not sure if you’ve seen this, but if you shoot a zombie that is on the ground in the head, it immediately (no animation, just changes position) goes into a standing position. Loving the game so far by the way!

~Bashlet

How well do my other games run for you?
- Con

.. they are working great, i played them.

I’m glad your grand-parents have better Hardware than me, do they know this “Rodriguez” Hackdude? ! ;>

Have a n nice evening.

Complete Black Clothing with M16

hey con, I was learning about WWI today, and I learned of a melee weapon you might like to add its called the trench-spike, and its basically a thin machete with brass knuckles on the handle(and will there be brass knucks in the game)but anyway, It would be cool to add as a special weapon, or an easter egg, and you can find it in an antique store of somewhere.

Hey Con I found a glitch. I dont know if anyone posted this already but when I jump and then hit the floor crouching, I slide across the floor instead of walking.

i found the military helmet and gas mask there pretty cool those with the camo pants is like a comando =]

“Man, all these people are whining like crazy about a game they’re not even making.

Stupid children these days. I dunno how you deal with it Con.

I haven’t found any glitches outside of what people have been telling you but I will definitely keep looking.

Any plans on having ambient sound (like car alarms, radio fuzz, TV, etc) during the game?”

The best joke today.

= me the badass

i dont see why people are complaining?,idiots:S..

the game is comming up and this is just a ALPHA you stupids,its a good one so if you decide about bitching and nagging just dont bother too because no1 wants to hear your shit.

P.S. I actualy wear round sunglasses

Hey you probably know about this but when you kill a zombie that is on the floor he gets up and then dies

Just keep the sliding glitch and call it the power slide
By the way realy fun game you got here its one of the most fun games I have played and Its not even done yet. Good Job

Will you be adding weather in the final game? You know like it starts to rain or snow or something.
Also, will there be other stuff we can interact with in the final game besides search places? Like light switches and stuff.

I’m really liking the new customazation for what the character is wearing!
Can’t wait for the next installment of Teh Alphas and Betas !Good luck Con!

P.S.-I know a lot of people think that the sliding while crouching can be a bit of a nuisance,but I kinda like that bug.Makes it look like he/she is doing a power slide .Just saying.

Emptying the M4 in a Horde of … will Make your M16 a Single fire Weapon for an period of 3-4 seconds when it’s changed from M4 without an reload. But it should be, and for it also should stay,- an 3 shot burst fire weapon.

~d3wd

quick question, why can you find scar-h/FAL ammo? you automatically get 900 when you find it, but can’t search for it.

Not implemented the 7.62 ammo properly yet.
- Con

hey con. what software do you use to make games like these

Check the FAQ.
- Con

Big Question:
Will the game have Instant-Kills for the Enemys ,taken from behind, and all the others?!

All the others means People what went crazy, as special competition, and such things.

I mean
Maybe an Tank or an car driving maniac as enemy-idiot, why not. -.-

~d3wd

Hey Con,
First of all, loving this new Alpha. It’s full of interesting stuff and I am so hype for the release!

Secondly, I like what you’ve done with these zombies, they are all very original and detailed. Well done!

I would just like to ask two little questions:

1. You said in a earlier development blog that some of the game will feature survivors. you also stated that these survivors will have back stories. Will your survivors have the ability to be bitten without death, and if so, will they eventually turn?

2. Will there be a special “base” like location that the players avatar can go to at night to sleep or eat, or can we move around and set up multiple defensible positions around the city (Like we can have a crude defense in a apartment building and a better one in a store somewhere.)

Keep up the superb work!

~Zombieguy

hey id like to report a GLITCH::

say your’e in the far right room(it works on both sides).. and you go to the far right wall. if you shoot the far right wall in the far right room, the bullets go through the wall and bullet holes appear in the blackness….

DUDE OMG I PLAYED IT AGAIN ON THE SAME DAY AND ALL MY STUFF WAS STILL THERE. YAY AUTOSAVE

con i have a question. When you started making games did you think youd get this many fans?

I didn’t think people would like The Last Stand, guess I was wrong.
- Con

people stop asking con about how many guns n outfits there will be,you will see when the freakin game comes out

yeah con i tried that when it first happened but it stays froze

Im just wondering con, are you gonna be getting rid of the black outlining of n the game. Is that just for beta’s and alphas?

That’s just for interiors.
- Con

It would be cool if you added shirts with nation’s flags, the union jack and such.

You said earlier that your search skill will affect what you find in a container, but the container doesn’t respawn. Won’t that make the search skill less valuable towards the end of the game when most everything’s emptied?
I don’t know I just don’t like the “build your economy first” strategy were you throw all your beginning points into a supply skill.

P.S. looks like you solved the disemboidied head problem by just giving the guy a long neck, still looks a bit funny.

Hi Con I have a question in the final game there will a something like a base to put all your stuff and healing

Are some weapons and items specially designed not to show up very often? I haven’t found any ARs (Other than the M16) or armor yet. Not in the hundred times I’ve searched each searchable spot. Any recommendations on which rooms to find certain items in?
____________________________________

Bug I don’t think was mentioned:
Scoring a knock-back hit on a zombie on the ground forces it into an upright position, as if it had already been standing.

Sometimes after a melee swing, you have to back up before you can move forwards again.
____________________________________

Question-ish:
It would be more likely that you’d find an AR-15 than an M16, being that, at least in most states, fully automatic and burst fire weapons are illegal. But, it would probably not be worth the hassle to change.

I’m sure you have a command to add an item to the inventory, it’s just a matter of figuring it out… Too bad I’m too lazy.
____________________________________

Anyway, this game is looking mighty fine so far. Can’t wait for it, and I hope that the community doesn’t annoy you too much with their lack-of-reading-your-posts-ness (Assuming I didn’t miss anything).

Good luck, though it’s not like you need it when you’ve got mad skills.

Yeah, all items have a “rarity” rating. As for the M16, Martial Law.
- Con

favorite outfit

hat – riot helm

shirt – none

pants – none

shoes – black shoes

weapon – AK-47

why? because thats the most jacked up outfit you can get!

Found a glitch, ok heres what happened, i had hit escape by accident, and knowing that paused the game, i hit it again. Then, i hit inventory,exited invintory and hit “Q” to switch to mah crowbar. then i switched back to the M4A1 and suddenly, I had a floating third arm!! im not sure how I did it exactly, but i was hoping you could play around and fix it

-keatosimo

Sounds like my third arm has been discovered. It’s in there for some of the animations where the back arm passes in front of the body, it should hide itself, sounds like you interrupted the animation and it’s not hiding itself. Will see if I can replicate.
- Con

Please answer this questions

What is the story of the game?
What is the objective of the game?

Please read the fact sheet
- Con

Will the items from the Alpha v.75 be saved? I just found an XM8

don’t know if you know this already or its already been reported but you can put the same weapon in the two different slots and also you couldn’t reload when you did so. hope this helps

not that this is another complain or rant but will we actually see these zombies biting instead of kicking and punching? will we ever get to see them eating the corpse of some poor survivor? will we?

But it is another “complain”.
- Con

wait everytime when i see a developers box it is used for cheats and the actions. what is the developers box for and if it is for cheats could you give me some cheats like maybe an autoshotgun.

It’s for me to execute really boring functions while testing. For example “showfps” toggles the FPS display. Not quite an autoshotgun, but it’s close!
- Con

I really like the addition of clothing, you should add a Gas-Mask and full on Bio Hazard Suit. Regardless, nice work.

amazing, gorgeous it is truly hard to find words that describe you level of artistic ability i can only hope to match up Thanks for the inspiration too you have helped me create some new artwork with photo shop. Thanks for being there you fan

-A Peoplesperson

I know this isn’t a FAQ, but shouldn’t eating stuff heal your health a bit?

fav outfit has to be army lookin outfit,
wool hat black or brown
sunglasses
green or brown shirts
cargo pants
brown shoes
and shotgun\ak combo

Great alpha, the real game should be great, I just have 2 bugs you need to address. Numero uno sometimes my character autowalks, i know its not lag, fps=34, so idk, but i totally lose control of him and can’t move him anywhere.
Also after changing up some clothes and trashing a bunch of clothes to get some new ones, i began being stalked by a floating, flashing hat.
So that was pretty annoying, but theres a lot more good things in this alpha than bad. Thanks for the alpha.
-C3RB

hey guys i have a tip:

increase the brightness in ur monitor so you dont have to use the flashlight O.O, cuz its laggy to me when i use the flashlight

This is my person:

Riot helmet
Gas mask
Hooded sweatshirt-Black
Jeans-Black
Black shoes

What weapons and random stuff found:

FAL
SCAR-H
Shotgun
M4AI
Where is Wilmo? (LOL)
XM8
M9 pistol
Sledge
Crowbar
Defcon Force
Handgun Owner
Future Weaponry
Hunter and Trapper
Glendale ?????????? (I got rid of it)

So anyways thanks for the alpha, really appreciate it, enjoyed every single bit of it. By the way, any chance of putting in a Katana and a samurai or ninja suit? It will honor me so much since I come from Japan.

I’m not sure if links work here, but I found an interesting glitch-ish thing that happens when you have the mouse in a particular spot.

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/8277/lolglitchw.jpg

Hah, yeah. It’s a problem with the somewhat complicated radian maths. It goes crazy because the torso is actually rotating constantly to align itself to the floor because it’s part of the arms. Flash has this crazy thing where it’s rotation goes from -180 to 0 in one degree and it’s tricky when incrementing it to get it to go to the right numbers.
- Con

I read through every last stinkin’ post here and now I know how you feel. nobody has mentioned that glitch for all reloading assault rifles; shoving whilst reloading causes him to stop reloading, thus leaving the gun without a clip, but reloading again causes a clip to pop right out of freaking midair. alternatively, firing after reloading with no clip in gun as mentioned earlier cause it to fire magically even though it doesn’t have a clip in the image. No one’s posted this glitch and I’m proud to say that I searched every last post to make sure. now I know how you feel.
ps i wear
military helmet
hankerchif mask
red tshirt
camo cargo
brown shoes
i use a bat and any gun i feel like.

I feel this glitch is most important concerning assault rifles because the magazines stick out.
great game, otherwise, con. You rock! Don’t let people who don’t read the posts get you down!

Thanks for the explanation of that assault reload problem, will have to check it out. To be honest I haven’t tried to break the reloads for any weapons yet.
- Con

lol found Ak-47 I knew I saw it

Kind of a follow up to my last question – Will you add a way for you to get hurt by environmental things?(like downed power lines, idk)
-Will weather effect zombies?
-Will weather/clothing choice effect you?( like moving slower when its really cold out and all your guys got is some shorts and a shirt)

Dear Everyone,
I’m not answering questions related to anything that IS NOT in THE ALPHA.
- Con

Was it so wise to put the secret assault rifle in the demo? Or, at least I think it’s the secret one. It wasn’t on the list. COUGH”XM8″COUGH

Eh, I don’t really care.
- Con

Nice alpha you got there , i found the shotgun , that was awesome! And when i play until nighttime , the flashlight does not really light up the place

Oh yeah please give a key to the bag like (b) G.L.

Tab.
- Con

I have 3 things

1: in the alpha, i noticed a funny thing; you see, the guy i was playing as looked like he was limping, i mean, whicheer direction you’re walking, the foot thats closer to you looks like its limping

2: will there be small voice animations, like “ah!” or “AH HAHA!”

3:will there be special animations, like, if you get a headshot,close-range, with the shotgun, will the zombies head explode?

Yeah, walk anim is a bit wonky. Been meaning to fix it.
Critical hits cause the decapitations and blowing arms off already.
- Con

and another glitch

when your character is facing to the left, and he reloads with the shotgun, it says reloading on it, but backwards!!! so instead of “reloading” its “gnidaoler”

For about the 100th time…it’s a placeholder for the reloading animation.
- Con

NICE JOB CON – the XM8 is looking pretty sexy

When i switched between m16a2 and fal the total amount off bullets remain the same even though the fal has less ammo. and the ammo did not depleat.
is there a suit bottom? i was hoping to be as classy as possible

There will be.
- Con

Just played TLS2 cause i got annoyed of not finding the good stuff lol. i really like the look of the game I’M A HUGE GEORGE A ROMERO FAN!!! and i played fallout 3 till i developed insomnia i didnt find any bugs that wern’t listed i’m afraid.

but i just wanted to ask a quick question will there be a rifle of some sort that has a burst option cause that will be really effective in preserving ammo I’m surprised Bethesda didn’t do one tbh. I’d list a burst gun but I’m not that much of a fanatic to know

- Jacob

M16A2, it’s in there already.

I have 2 bugs – 1. When I kill for example 3 zombies and the enter the second room and kill another my kill count will say 1 kill.
2 – A black floating hat appears every 2 seconds above my head and then vanishes just to appear again(probably not a hat but it looks like one)

Kill count is debug text only, resets every room. Floating hat has been explained.
- Con

1. Military Helmet
Sunglasses
Long Shirt-Green
Cargo Pants-Camo
Brown Shoes
FAL/Shotgun or M4/M9

2. Riot Helmet
Gas Mask
Black Hoodie
Black Jeans
Black Shoes
M16A2/G17

3. Sunglasses
Suit Top
Black Jeans
Black Shoes
G17/Kitchen Knife

I know its a place holder, but i though it would say “reloading” whichever direction you’re facing, and not be backwards.

Nah, it’s an old lazy computer game trick, the old character flip.
- Con

First , it looks really good.

-The day and night system really working well.
-A few really good guns and rifles , but i think you should make some more realistic things to find them. Like i found an AK47 , M4 , FAL , M16 and XM8 in the hanging drewers with books XD
- The knockback really doing great , but when u jump and shoot your gun goes a bit weird.
- The clothing is really good , ive found some special stuff and it looks really good.

Just some little things ive seen for now , when i see anything else and not seen here i will post it.

Cheers ~ Aaronw

I dont know if its been established already, but when i am searching, sometimes it takes all of the items without me pressing “A”. It happens about 25% of the time when going through various cabinets/shelves.

Pressing A or clicking the button is the only way that’ll happen. Are you walking left or something?
- Con

[b]Alright Conartists, I found something that is a definite bug. When I open a searchable then close it, then reopen it…the items have changed!
Also, Favorite Combination is…
Black Wool Cap, (Black)Handkerchief Mask, Long Black Shirt, Black Jeans, and Black Sneakers

Read the post.
- Con

i wish this dude going on a rant about the flashlight would shut up and sit back so you can finaly make the game that everyone gets to play for free. i mean serously, its nice to get suggestions every now and then but if you decide to intergrate something theres always one guy going to p*ss and moan about it. i know from expertience.

anyways i like this combination of clothing

hat: baseball cap- black
shirt: suit top
face: round sunglasses
pants: black jeans
shoes: black sneakers

Con as a fan of yours do you think their is any way i could learn about you and what you do or find a way to chat with you? And what is the thing of last stand your working on right now? i may have some art or something for you. I have won a few 1st place awards in my local art fair. thanks

I’m not sure what you’re wanting to learn about me, have a read of the FAQ at the top of the page.
- Con

Looks Real good. Thank you for keeping us updated.

Hmmm… A few questions..

1. What will be a benefit of using a pistol instead of, say, an assault rifle?

2. For items, are you planning to fill pictures into the box above the item description?

3. Are you going to balance the guns more? The M16A2 doesn’t dish out nearly as much damage as the SCAR-H. (The only 2 guns I have found)

1. Ammo and general availability of the weapon themselves. Once you get your hands on an AR though, more power to you. I’m also thinking of tightening up the pistol pose, so they’re more effective at very close range.
2. Not entirely, just with their major group icons.
3. Haven’t done any weapon balance yet.
- Con

Hey Con.

I just wanted to ask what the currency is if there’s some currency in the game. I’ve been picking up cash which has no weight. But then there are coins, which DO have weight. If there is a currency, could you tell me what it is?(If standard cash is still used, then why don’t coins count?)

Coins have weight? Whoops.

There really isn’t a set currency. Certain people will want certain things. Cash though will be a commodity that’s appealing to a certain number of people, even though it’s effectively useless.
- Con

It only happens occasionally. I’m not pressing anything when i’m looking at the list, but when i close it my inventory picked everything up.

I’ll see if I can replicate it. I can’t really see how it can happen though the only places the “take all” code is fired is from the A key and the button itself.
- Con

Could you tell me what casues certain guns to apper? ive noticed some boxes always have a certain gun…But i seem to always see a new gun when my pack is full,is this chance?… or?

Explained this in another comment.
- Con

um this may be a dumb question but everyones talking about fps which i have no idea what it is but i have alot is that good or bad… not trying to ask dumb question or anything just wanna know

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fps
- Con

4 things:
1) Cash should stack.
2) It was laggy at nighttime only for some reason.
3) What game programs do you use to make games as I was considering going into the game industry myself?
4) I noticed you VISITED the US, what country do you live in?

3 – Read the FAQ.
4 – Australia
- Con

Anything about akimbo weapons?

Not happening.
- Con

another glitch, if you stand next to either side if the box and only press jump, you’ll start floating in mid-air!!!

hey there Con i’d like to report i glitch::

say youre in the far right room, and go to the far right wall. you shoot at the floor in the blackness past the wall, and there are bullet holes and the bullets pass right through the wall as if it wasnt a solid object.

For clothing:
Wool Hat Black
Suit Top Black
Cargo Pants

God nothing beats murderin the Undead in Style, nice beta keep up the good work.
P.S stood next to a window in the appartment and didn’t fire a single shot. Thirty seconds later a Black hawk Chopper flys by and someone shouts “Get to the chopper!” nice.

Yeah, that’s a lie.
- Con

Hey, Con Just curious. did you remove the face shield thing from the riot helmet or is it a texture bug or something.

There’s two variations.
- Con

Is there a way to open your inventory while your searching? I looked in something and there was a m4 but apperantly i had to much crap to pick it up. Then I ended up closing the box and I lost the chance at the gun.

Read the other comments, I’ve already answered this twice.

Edit: It’s in the original post. Read it please.
- Con

you should make it darker in the night time so there will be a real need for a flashlight like the only thing you can see is the thing you point at thanks con see you again.

hey con im back by the way i already played
day and night in game time. and even though it was 2:30 am game time but there was still a little light. i did not have to use the flash light.

It would be thrilling if there were some kind of vaccine or parasites

got a question, i had just experienced the hat glitch, (I know you’ve explained it, i just have a question)and i was wearing the brown wool hat,then i took it off, and the floaty hat was gone? is it just with the brown wool hat?

Who would of thought such a simple game ” The Last Stand ” could make such a highly awaited sequel as this? Every AG gamer is looking out for this game. I have never seen such a more awaited game EVER.

OMG FAL!!!!!!!!!

grunmar that might’ve been the military helmet, i found that and it look exactly like the riot helmet but without the face sheild.

Do you delete suggestions or is the moderate an joke?!

read 277 for example.
Pure envy.
(I’m a winner)
~d3wd

I delete a lot of crap. For example, I would’ve deleted this.
- Con

Hi Con, first post I’ve ever made on your site! Big fan of course, follow your work religiously.

Heard you want to hear about possible glitches. Read through all the posts and this glitch hasn’t been reported yet. When I have the Scar H as my first weapon, then go into my inventory and switch it for the shotgun the ammo/bullet bar in the bottom right corner goes funky, the scar H ammo line still stays and the shotgun appears over it, bit confusing as its hard to tell how many bullets i have left. I took a screenshot: http://s721.photobucket.com/albums/ww215/rpphanna1/?action=view&current=Untitled-2.jpg

Thanks for keeping us posted, the game conference sounded awesome. I would have loved to have seen Will Wright and SID MEIER! Legends. Keep up the awesome work.

My fav combo of clothes are the cheap glasses the black wool cap the camo pants the brown shoes and the suit top XD!

Hey again, Con!

Just a small suggestion about clothes-when I rack up a fair amount, the list feels a little crowded. What if you made it so that on the little picture of your character with the list of what you are wearing, when you click on head, torso, etc. it changed the inventory list to solely items for that part of the body? What do you think?

-Thanks!

Don’t want to filter it down any further, I’ve got some sorting in there now so it groups the clothing a bit better. As I’ve said though, you won’t be collecting and carrying this much clothing around.
- Con

hey, idk if u already have this, i couldnt find it if u did. really small bug, merely just asthetics, but i just started and when i click my bat or knife in the item menu it brings up the weapons tab but it stays on the tab its on (ie the + or clothing tab). im not being anal, its not that bad, but just figured id toss it in. also, its gonna be an awesome game, take ur time man, thanks

Yeah, it switches to the weapons tab, clothing will do the same.
- Con

Oh, another question-I’ve read comments on getting riot gear, the SCAR, etc. and I have no idea how to get those-I’ve searched relentlessly, too. Any suggestions?

Keep searching.
- Con

Cool! Can’t wait for the real thing. The new direction that you’re taking it in is interesting. Wonder if it’ll be as addictive as the 2nd? Looks like it, I wen between the three rooms for at least half an hour

Just a quick question, as a part time devoloper…what are the codes for your dev console? I figured out the fps one easy enough, but are there any more hanging around in there?

Thanks, Drake

I think “god” works as well.
- Con

Due to your alpha,I have no choice but to enter a cryo capsule until this thing is out.(XD)

OMG! THAT WAS AWESOME! Congratulations on the new Alpha! If that was just the alpha then what would the actual GAME be like?

It’s probally been said already but the ak 47 picture in you inventory is the same picture as the M4A1

I like the bottlecaps item. Nice reference to Fallout 3

hey con, sorry to bother you with this, but i found a bug. somehow and im not sure how i ended up with my ammo count wierd. what it is is it shows full bullets then blank bullets then full. eg 1=not used, !=used 1111!!!!!!!1111. im not sure why. ill try and figure out how to send the pic

Got the image. There’s something up with the ammo counts not resetting properly. Looking into it.
- Con

http://yfrog.com/0ypicture1fxp

Wool hat, black shoes, black pants, black T-Shirt…Looks like a reference to one of the character Joseph Cappelli in Resis.tance 2 sequel to Resistance fall of man

Hey, I don’t want to get all nitpicky but isn’t .556 Ammo supposed to be 5.56?

dude i had an m16a2 and i put 2 m1911′s and couldn’t shoot or reload

Yeah, there’s a bug with having the same weapon in both slots it breaks the reload for some reason.
- Con

and the m16 bullet stuff was still there

Ok, so i tried re-creating the inventory-taking-all-items issue but it never happened. I guess i was unknowingly pressing the “A” key all along. Sorry about that!

All good, figured that might be what it was.
- Con

I was wondering for gun descriptions could you put the ammo type like for the M4 put “uses .566 ammunition”. It would clear up some ammo discrepancies.

Yeah, I’ve gotta add that.
- Con

Kind of weird. I had a moonwalk problem out of nowhere. I was searching for a military helmet i skipped over and i was messaged by a friend over steam. I clicked and went back in game and my character moonwalked and was shooting like crazy. I had to completely reset my cookies to make it stop cause refreshing the page didnt work.

I find it very hard to believe that refreshing the page didn’t fix it.
- Con

I will find that damned FAL if it takes forever

This isn’t a bug but just a bit easy to “cheat” in the game

Sometimes when you go through a door , there come 2 zombies out , when you then go back in the other room ( the 1st one ) and then back in the 2nd one ( with the zombies) then the zombies are gone ! U didn’t have to kill them

Yeah, it won’t do that in the future. Each room within a certain area will remember all zombies left alive when you leave the room and replace them when you re-enter it.
- Con

bug report,if u stay in 1 room and it gets dark door stays bright asif it was day,sometimesbookshelf does it aswell,gr8 game cantwait for it,my fav outfit is green shirt ,miliaty helmet,sunglasses,cargo pants camo and black shoes!

ok i found a bug when you aim down it looks straight up if you have a blunting weapon and as it should with a gun it aims down

i love the FAL battle rifle
i wear military helmet – long shirt green – gasmask- cargo pants camo – brown shoes -fal battle rifle – m9

—————————————–
I think “god” works as well.

I think “god”-mode is already activated.
- I posted it as an bug yesterday.

¨d3wd

Yeah, might be. Was getting too many complaints about characters dieing.
- Con

I found the scar-h !!!

i have an idea… ENERGY SWORD!!!. that would pwn

You know what would “pwn” is if people stop using that god damn word and derivatives of it.
- Con

Did you put in all of the weapons in this alpha or are there going to be more of them?

Nope and yep.
- Con

When I take out my f.a.l I just kept on shooting the zombies but none of the ammo is taken away so that a problem?

But nobody told it, now i know whats wrong with you.

I never died before yesterday, so i’m a TLS pro-gamer.

I think i have a suggestion for an Doctors room.
————————————–
Name: Dr. D. Cornelius Muertenz
————————————–
An german Doctor who started to work in Union City very well.
In the Room should lay huge Newspapers like the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” is.
You can check out the size of the Newspaper in the web.
Lets Call it “Union City’s Allgemeine Zeitung”.
Just steal the design.

Lets have a new competition about Doctors in this game.

~ get well ~

hey con, I noticed something, I picked up some cigarettes while searching and i thought to myself “will con implement miscellaneous items? like smokes, will that affect our character?or alcohol, will that affect our vision, and will that lower accuracy, but increase melee strength?” so will you? (you dont need to implement cigs or drinks, but like energy drinks or something, you know, it will fill up health, and increase your speed)

Nup, too much other stuff to implement.
- Con

Is this game gonna have MULIPLAYER ?

No and it won’t have multiplayer either.
- Con

First off, fantastic work and keep up the great work. I will wait for however long it takes because i know you’re making it the best game ever (and clearly that will take time)

I did find a bug however, the SLEDGE and the CROWBAR have the same description. (really sorry if someone else caught it and i’m just repeating)

Favorite outfit:
Riot helmet (with face shield)
Gas mask
Hooded Sweatshirt – blk
Cargo Pants – Camo (grey and black one)
Black Shoes
M4A1
Shotgun (on back)

Keep up the great work!!

-Arcc

I spent some time skimming through most of the comments and I don’t think anyone has pointed this out, but when you are half-way through reloading and you walk through a door it will stop reloading and the indicator that shows how far you are to be done reloading will go pass the end of the bar, and then refresh. Not sure if this is a glitch or something you can’t fix, but I have managed to recreate it with all the weapons I have used to test it(1 pistol, 2 assault rifles, and the shotgun)

Also this is just me being curious, but did you make it to where some items would be more likely to show up in certain thing such as clothes being more likely to be found in cupboards or is it just my imagination that there is a difference when I search a cupboard and a bookcase?

Bar doesn’t work properly. Items will be found in appropriate rooms. Rooms will be set up with appropriate containers.
- Con

u cant double knock back

it u knock zombie back one

then go and hit him again b4 he/she recovers- doesnt do anything

then u end up diing or geting hit

Yeah, that’s on purpose, so you can’t infinitely shove them.
- Con

I first picked the M16A2, and then the FAL, but when i picked the FAL, i still saw like 10 bullets that werent used(probably still from the M16)

First: This game is great!!!
Second: If you put an item out of an chest, the total weight wil not update.

An other problem is, the clothes, weapons etc. won’t be reseted, when you refresh the page. It isn’t a big problem, but when you will reset all, you have to reset your cookies.

Ah yeah, it’s saving everything automatically. That’s a feature, not a bug.
- Con

when I change weapons the ammos overlap

aw darn, it would be cool!! but anyway, with the skill you put into this game,and the passion you put into it that makes it a conartist game. i can deal without the small stuff, cant wait for the game!! thanks for bringing us TLS, con!

-keatosimos

um when i tryied to go to backpack it automaticly went out of it is there a hotkeyfor it or something? cuz sometimes my keyboard sticks

My guess is your keyboard stuck. TAB is the hotkey.
- Con

For your various ammo glitches, wouldn’t a simple fix be to switch to a simple numeric system? (As in showing a number instead of graphic bullets, for those who might read this and not understand)
It would also make it simpler if you’d like to implement some extended clips for certain weapons.

It’s not that big of a problem, I can fix it, just haven’t tried yet.
- Con

Another thing I’ve found is that the character can’t be killed, I don’t know if this is because you haven’t made a death animation and the associated coding for that eventuality, or if something is preventing the proper execution of the code. Just thought I’d let you know.

~GySgt. Murphy

Yeah, haven’t done the whole death cycle yet. Keeping it out for the moment for testing.
- Con

if you shove with bat it comes out of his hand so its like hes using the force
oh and favorite out-fit is:
wool hat-black
handkerchief face mask
long shirt-black
jeans-black
black shoes
with A16A2

Please read the notes in future.
- Con

Hey Con. This is probably the last thing I noticed.

When you shoot a zombie that is on the ground but isn’t dead, it pops on its feet and then dies again. You should have them die on the ground, rather than standing back up.

Alpha’s are coming along great Con! I was waiting for this one to come out ;D

Also I was wondering if in the full game there would already be dead zombies on the ground because once they jumped up at me the first time i knew they were going to again so, i just shot them really quickly when i saw them on the ground, because i knew they were going to get up

They’ll be mixed in with actual dead ones in the final game
So it’ll be a balance between wanting to check and wasting ammo.
- Con

Sorry for the off-topic qeustion, but is there going to be any grenades or molotovs?

READ READ READ THE FACT SHEET, OH OH. READ IT. GO ON AND READ IT. BAPPADA BOOP.
- Con the awful beatnik Poet

I noticed a mess up,or what ever you want too call it. I am using the XM8,when reloading
if you hit space bar midreload the Mag drops and does not reapper. also when reloading a new one appers and falls again.

I dont know if this is beacuse of the animation or what just a heads up.

p.s. the XM8 program was killed.

Yeah, stop breaking my animation systems, sheesh. Did it stop you from using the weapon? If the answer is no, then I’m not too fussed.
- Con

I noticed the character looks like he is limping when walking but health is full. Oh yeah and the Gas mask was a great idea

can we have some of the harder to find guns commoner because i realy want to try the FAL but i just cant find it.

Oh and for John Perry, America is reconsidering the XM8 rifle.

Yeah the weapon still works plus its pretty fun to walk around with a clip-less XM8.

p.s. Thanks for taking the time to answer ALL THESE COMMENTS…^^^^ Dont let anything take the fun out of making the game!

con loves me because my actual name is Pete

No I don’t. People who read the previous comments do.
- Con

I found a bug where I deleted the M1911 pistol in my inventory, but since I had it equipped it still worked.

Thanks.

I found a comment that explained a bug that’s listed under the known bugs list.

Thanks.
- Con

Hey Con what can u tell us about the locations in the game…u know…?

There will be more than one.
- Con

Great work for far Con. Can’t wait for a final release.
Outfit – Military Helmet, Handkerchief, Black Hoody, Cargo Pants, Black Shoes.

Also, here’s my notes. Read if you wish, shun me if you must.
AK47 Vs M4A1 – AK wins on Accuracy? (Spread/Base)
Handguns – Some weigh as which as Rifles, like the G17.
PPM – First ‘row’ of ammo doesn’t disappear while shooting, but second row does.
Right Wall (First room) – Not a big deal, but the bullet holes in the wall don’t place onto the wall… But the black space behind it. I’m assuming this is due to a graphical bug, or something.[Second note: also happens in the far left room.]

Also noticed: A dev console? Awesome.

Again, excellent work thus far, Mr. Con.
-Dan

Pretty Nice, But maybe add an option to move to next room.

Can’t wait for the full game!

Yeah, I’ll be making it key activated for the next version.
- Con

great work, can’t wait for the full game

should add the followings
-SWAT/military outfit
-bullet proof vest(reduces attack recieved)
-ammo should be more scarce to encourage melee weapons
-noises will attack zombies

Bugs
-once re-entering the first and second room after looting the third, the character’s walking animation is lost(no big deal)

-zombies on the floor didnt rise up even when i walked over it, it popped up at random

-zombie on the floor, when i shot it, it jumped up and died, very unnatural, should have just twitched instead

keep up the good work

PETE!
- Con

I haven’t found any more glitches…

I know I said no more questions. but please bare with me…

Will (In the beginning) you be able to customize the characters appearance? Not the clothes (you already said they all start off in underwear..) but like hair styles, gender, skin color, facial expression, and all that other good RPG type stuff, or will all the males look like the guy in this alpha, and all the females (if there are any..) look the same..

Okay, this time I mean it. No more questions from me…

Thanks for putting up with us Con *high fives*

Hey have you tried to make an right klick?
If you klick then “play”, the games stops, when you klick then up play, the games starts by the last savepoint.
I haven’t tried the other right-klick-options.
But it’s a great game ^^

Noted, deactivating right click now.
- Con

Hey Con, found one related to ammo as well.

If you shove or otherwise interrupt the reloading process, you can drop a clip right on the ground. If you do this over and over again, it leaves an infinite amount of clips on the ground but no ammo is lost.

Will ammo be tied to the clip or does it only deplete when you fire the gun?

I think maybe the best way to do it is to maybe hook the code so that when you press reload the gun can’t be fired or reloaded until the animation completes. Is that possible (or already done)?

It’s already done that way, it’s the shove that’s interrupting the reload obviously. Only way to stop it is to disable shoving while reloading. It’s only an aesthetic issue, not a functional one. So I’m not worried.
- Con

The Xm8 kicks ass.

Love how you ask them to look at something so simple and they don’t do it.

If there’s gonna be a XM8, a M16, and a M4, I’m fairly sure we will find a military base in Union City. Anyways…

What’s the list of secret gear? I found a crowbar, and some other stuff. Or is it you can’t tell us what that stuff is, rather we find it.

I’m getting really distressed trying to find the secret gear, like, hit my brother distressed. (Not literally)

Hey!
Me and my friends love this games, one of the best flash games, hell even one of the best zombie games!.
I loved the fallout vibes, The bottl Cap, thing was nice
The Crouchmechanic was kind of irretating. it should be located on the z button i think. a sprint button should be enabled too.
I liked the suit, and all of the clothes. The equipment/clothing menu was flawless! really enjoyed it the “shove” should be a little more fluid, but otherwise, I am so goddamn exited for this game!

The start button didnt work for me, i dont know if thats a glitch or what

Oh, the outfits…

1: Combat Outfit
Head: None
Shirt: Brown T-Shirt
Pants: Camo Cargo Pants
Shoes: Brown Shoes
Weapon: AK-47

2: Secret Service
Head: None
Shirt: Suit Top
Pants: Black Jeans
Shoes: Black Shoes
Weapon: Pistol (Forget which one)

3: Casual Survivor
Head: Blue Baseball Cap
Shirt: Red T-Shirt
Pants: Blue Jeans
Shoes: White Sneakers
Weapon: Bat

These are my three favorites to wear..looking for more stuff right now..

I’m loving the game! Can’t wait for it to finish.

I don’t know if you’ve mentioned this but when I hover the mouse on the inventory the items all get highlighted red and stays red till you click one.

Well Cheers Mr. Con!

Looks pretty swell so far. There are still a lot of bugs but i haven’t found any that actually broke the gameplay.

Also, no one had pointed this out: if you jump and press down(s) in mid-air, you will land standing up, but the crosshair will be off (If you move you toggle crouch, btw). There isn’t any problem with it in the alpha, but I figured that the glitch could be used to shoot over cover with crouching accuracy. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Again, it’s looking pretty good so far.

when I pushed the zombie in the middle room through the boxes it stopped moving, but it still attacked me when I got close enough

~d3wd

Heya Con, great work so far, you’ll get there, as always.

Checked out all the new changes and I like them.

Thing is, I notice I took a serious hit on FPS on this version, and it’s barely playable, no matter the quality I put it on. Not sure if it’s a problem on my end or not, terminated some processes to see if it would work better, but I’m not entirely sure it’s anything wrong with my CPU.

Cheers.

On the subject of outfit combinations, I’m a big fan of the Suit Top/Blue Jeans/Black Shoes combo, as it closely matches my everyday dress. I add in the Wool Hat and Round Sunglasses for that little “Leon the Professional” touch.

Question though, is there a small stain on the Suit Top, or is that dark patch under the arms a pocket?

I wonder if this comment will be deleted…

Why? You having comments deleted? Stop wasting my time otherwise.
- Con

it was awesome and by the was while i was playing there were more zombies at night in morning that is how it was in planted right

The only (possibly?) bug I could find is that when you shoot at the ceiling, there is a line through the center of all the holes that never gets hit, even when I move around.

On the topic of favorite clothes, I found three nice combinations;
Professional; round sunglasses, suit coat, black jeans, and brown shoes
Favela gangster (from MW2); sunglasses, green shirt, cargo pants, and white sneakers
Soldier; military helmet, green shirt, camo cargo pants, and brown shoes (also looks best with M16 and M1911, not a bat )

Glitch I hope nobody mentioned yet:

If you equip an assault rifle, make sure it has full ammo, go into your inventory and switch rifle out for a pistol(as in the same slot), that pistol has as many shots in a clip as the assault riffle. Also, there is a partial graphics overlay of the assault riffle ammo bar on top of the pistol ammo bar.

Tried with both the M16A2 and SCAR-H, and G17 and 1911. Glitch works both the rifles and pistols. Wanted to see if it happened for more, but that is all I had.

Hmmm, thanks for this. I’ll try and replicate. Sounds like it has to do with the swap I force on the weapons not happening properly.

Edit: Managed to replicate, thanks for the clear explanation.
- Con

Glad you found it helpful, and that I gave a decent explanation.

On that note, I have another one.

If you do an attack with a melee weapon(only tried with bat) and switch to your second weapon(tried with G17, M16A2, SCAR-H and 1911), your character freezes. You can still turn and jump yet can not move either left or right.

Only way to alleviate this is to switch back to a melee weapon and swing it, or shoot one bullet from the gun and reload. After that you can move again.

Ah, cheers. Forgot to disable those other movements. On the list.
- Con

If you use XM8 as a primary weapon and SCAR-H as secondary weapon it would be so powerfull.

This game is just like the movie “28 Days Later”

I’ve got my Fav Outfit:

Head – Riot Helmet (without face shield)
Face – Gas Mask
Torso – White Long Shirt
Legs – Black Jeans
Feet – Black Shoes

is there going to be a mute button?

There’ll be sound options, yes.
- Con

Hi con, few things.

1. arent you glad you have a comments section so people can bug you about things you allready know?

2. are there certain containers that are more likely to contain certain weapons, or is it all random?

3. plz plz plz be keepings teh shotgun’s reload time low, the previous shotguns in tls 1&2 were useless because of it.

1. Yeah, like your second question.
- Con

i think that a good idea if possible would be that when crouching there is currently no upside and no point, if u added something that reduced the knockback of every gun when crouching it would be a good thing, it is also logical as if u think about it when u crouch u r putting more weight behind the gun, it is not just a cheating type thing that evry1 will use as u move very slow which is good,this would be good if you are trapped by zombies you will want less recoil and so will be able to if u crouch but u wont be able to move fast

Hi Christian, I’d like you to meet the period or full stop as it’s sometimes known, here comes one now. Oh there it is again. Now to answer your giant sentence, I’m going to decrease the standing accuracy. I’m not sure your physics bending idea of somehow creating more force by being more steady is entirely accurate.
- Con

Fred Bloggs is back! this game is awesome but im scared im gonna get too excited and overly anticipate everything. Jeez makes me sweat. Uh I stink,man. Kidding

Fred Bloggs, out

hey grunmar its really hard to find the riot helmet isnt it oh yer btw my fav out is

head-riot helmet (without visor)
face-gas mask
torso-hooded sweatshirt blk
legs-cargo pants camo
feet-black jeans

I know it´s a bit off topic – but who is Pete?

- Con

would you consider being able to parooz magizines wen you find them

Peruse, no.
- Con

hey Con,

I was wondering how you were going to deal with the difference between the the 7.62mm NATO round used by the SCAR-H and FAL, and the 7.62x39mm round used in the AK-47 and other similar East Bloc weapons? just a technical point that I thought i should bring up

~GySgt. Murphy

I’m not, I’m going to just mash them all together. It’s a game, 95% of the audience won’t know the difference, even the hardcore MW2 kiddies still think the “Deagle” is “AWESUM”. On top of that, adding too many ammo variations, especially multiple ones within a class of weapons (we’ve got 2 already) is just going to be confusing.
- Con

Here’s one bug that I didn’t see listed,whenever you have the sledgehammer(maybe the other melee weapons too?)and swing while crouching,your legs go up straight as if he were standing.I find it pretty funny,it’s a midget zombie-killer

Are all the zombies going to be out in the open or is it going to be mixed up like a zombie popping out of a wardrobe or shower (like shawn of the dead)

They’ll appear from all kinds of places.
- Con

ayo con the game looks great sorry bout everbody gettin ya upset.
P.S red dead redemption comes out 2morrow well u live in australia so it mite be the 21st cuz thatz how it is for europe

Yeah, my copy arrives Friday. Goodbye weekend.
- Con

hey con mr. a here i was wonder if you could tell me and all of us here in florida if there will be armoured zombies like last stand 1 and 2 just asking

Hello Florida,
Yes.

No Matter what i do i cant get the game to get reset

hey con whats your GT/PSN?

Yeah, sorry I’m not giving those out. Would like my play time to not be related to work time.
- Con

hi con
i have a suggestion
i know this would be very hard but could you
make some zombies jump in buildings through the windows and then they would try to jump on you and you have like 5 minutes game time to use melee shove then shoot him or it
will eat you.then it will be game over and yuu will go back to the last save point?
i know this will be hard and you dont have to do this. im a very big fan keep up the good work con!
oh and could you reply to my other comment and this one.from hamp see you later!

Guessing you missed this part:
THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION BOX
Also, I answered this about 2 posts up.
- Con

Hey Con, Nice Job on the game! i have to ask something… is the 1911 powerful enough to blow the head out of a zombie or just a critical shot? also whats the “where’s wilmo for? It said to give +5 on searching

Yes and to give you +5 on searching. Books don’t work at the moment.
- Con

hey con,i think i found a glitch (if its implemented, dont get mad, its not on the known bugs section) when you shoot At a door, bullets will got thru the door to the blackness behind it and make bullet holes, and you can see the bullets fly thru the door, they dont turn invisible when the reach the blackness

Answered a few posts up.
- Con

THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION BOX or a Q&A SESSION – KEEP IT RELEVANT

Yes. Thanks.
- Con

Hang on, con=)
its gona be a great game!

Hmmm I’ve made three comments at the 17.05.2010, ith the numbers 382,383 and 384, but i never see them in this blog now.
Have you deleted them???

(I’ve wrote only over somme bugs and somme ideas I had, so it wasn’t spam!)

Yes probably. Reasons for deleting would be that the bugs had been mentioned and answered.
- Con

Looks like the games getting pushed back a couple of weeks by red dead

Wouldnt blame you personally…dont get me started on how awesome it is…seriously. I could write a freakin essay about it.

Yeah I’m really looking forward to it. Got me thinking about western themed games again.
- Con

Con, when I am walking in a room there is a huge black box after the door that all of the gun holes go to and that means that there is a meaningless black spot in the room. I’m sorry if you have heard this in other posts i just think it is a glitch

Yeah I just fixed that. It’s just that room’s boundary was a little too far to the right.
- Con

Well i have so far found 2 bugs, first one is where when you put an m16a2 into a slot with a gun in it it deletes the gun and second one is how i cant seem to eat food.. i got eaten because of it. This is gonna make for an awsome game con my brother and I have always played your games and Last stand is so far the most awsome thing online i think.

Would you be able to have the flashlight effect accuracy?

Hmmmm, interesting idea. Not sure I want to affect accuracy in the dark though, might be too hard to explain.
- Con

You should definitely include some outfits that’ll let us make some L4D and L4D2 characters. and maybe some other references… Frank West anyone?
That would be awesome.

Hadn’t considered that. One Francis leather vest coming right up.
- Con

Hey, if you’re taking outfit requests… since you love Red Dead so much, why not make a gunslinger outfit to compliment the colt six-shooter in the game?

Just some stirrups, chaps, leather vest, and cowboy hat (hey, Aspenwood’s not too far away) to go with an around-the-neck bandana would complete the outfit.

Head – Cowboy Hat (white, brown, or black)
Face – Bandana (red)
Torso – Flannel Top (blue, white, black)
Armor – Leather Vest (brown, black)
Legs – Chaps (brown, black)
Feet – Sherriff Boots (brown or black)

Chaps. Hah!
- Con

do not know if this was mentioned, if it was, oops then. ok, when i searched a zombie was on my screen walking, and when i searched he stopped and started to moonwalk. then a sprinter did the same thing! might have to replicate it or something…

Yeah, I wasn’t stopping animations. Fixed this a few days ago.
- Con

omg Im not kidding that was soooooo awesome that I basically played the demo for like an hour so addictive I noticed 1 glitch tho the boxes in room 2 when the zombies go over them they kinda slide across them also at night I think u over did it on how dark it gets

Nice Alpha Con BTW I have
Hooded SWT Shirt BLK
Baseballcap BLK
Sunglasses *please make it Sunglass*
Cargo Pants CAMO
Brown/Black shoes

Oh yeah… The Rifle called FAL Battle Rifle has no sound effects….. and I have a bugg report Jamming Weapons…. for example

You’re Firing a gun at the zombie and then it just keeps on jamming! Please reply…..

Not being a twat here or nothing but MAYBe you should spend more time on the game and less time fannying about with this. In all of the time since starting the game i bet you have spent Hours writing and reading comments and then writing what you have done over the time of building the game when you COULD have been doing more to the actuall game, I’m not saying neglect this at all i’m just saying set your prioritys

Yeah, no shit. I just wasted 30 seconds reading this.

Edit: That said, keeping in touch with fans is pretty important for developers like me. I spend about an hour a day going over all this stuff, which is worthwhile for the 1 or 2 useful bits of feedback I get each day.
- Con

Hey Marcus… I used the FAL and what I would say its in Single Shot mode it Doesn’t Jam. just letting you know.

I don’t know if people already commentate on this but there is a glitch when you use a melee weapon such as a bat, crowbar, etc. , whatever when crouching the players neck stretched a little bit outward and the knees morphed into a leg… http://www.flickr.com/photos/45907750@N02/4620414817/

Yeah, I’ve got a note on that one. It’s just the legs not being told to play the right animation.
- Con

ahhh damn it. I can only post comments from school now, i can’t post comments from home for some reason!

That’s odd Danny, what’s happening? Just checked the spam folder, no comments of yours in there.
- Con

Con, as annoying as this seems, I think that having slogans and text on shirts and hats would be pretty god damn impressive. Even if it is too time-consuming for you <3.

You could even hold another competition like the fake commercials one.

There’ll be branded shirts, kinda hard to make anything out with the angle though.
- Con

huh, they still seem to moonwalk, I will experiment with it!! BTW, danny that sux, cant post from home! and i doubt your teachers wont let you go on this site.

Hey con keep up on the game we all will be waiting for a great experience but idk if this is happening to anyone else but when you get Red Dead(i got it yesterday freaking AWESOME) the preorder code from rockstar didnt work it may be just me but just giving you a heads up

Ok, this question does not belong in here but…

What happened to Crush the Castle 2 ?!

Ps: Nice Alpha ^^

It really doesn’t. It’s coming, end of the month.
- Con

Hi, just an admirer of your work. Having looked through the alpha and betas, a few ideas occurred that may compliment your game. Firstly, i have seen it that i have come across an item i wanted direly and have had too full an inventory to access it. perhaps you would consider emulating the fallout 3 style inventory maximum, where you can grab it but your walking speed is drastically reduced. My other thought was that perhaps the game could be semi-free roam, still adhering to the storyline but not forced to stick within the confines of the game exactly. Anyway goodluck, i look forward to the next Alpha or Beta.

True, that might be a neater way of dealing with it, rather than being forced to go into your inventory, delete something and then re-open the container again. I could bring movement to a crawl for every pound you are over.
- Con

No Grunmar….. I know its not automatic but when you keep on clicking it jams…..

Yes!! Finally I’ve got this Gas Mask!! Cant wait for some rare stuff!!

Nice alpha, really found no glitches that won’t be addressed in the full game. My favorite clothes: black baseball cap, sunglasses, black t-shirt, black cargo pants, black shoes. Stuff i found: M1911, G17, M9, AK47, M16A2, SCAR-H, Crowbar.

P.S. Is the crowbar one of the special items?

Update:
I now found other stuff so the cargo pants were replaced with black jeans and i also found the shotgun, XM8, and the PPM 9mm

hey con, I noticed some of the weapons had ludacris weights… i saw the glock weighed more than the Scar. is this temporary? or will these crazy weights stay.

Temp, probably cut and paste from other descriptions. Also, it’s ludicrous, not a rapper.
- Con

how long dose it take you to make a demo of the game, and do you have an estimate of when the game is coming out?

How long is a piece of string. Depends how much I put in.
As for estimate, read the post below this one.
- Con

another one con , when zombies are facing back towards boxes ect , they start climbing facing the other way , if that counts as a bug xx

Will this game have an BOW in it again?! ;D

~d3wd

i have found lots of stuff includeing many difrent magazines but how do you use them also great game you got here

I was able to push a zombie through the door into an area of blackness.

This is bit of a nitpicking one, but the sound on some of the gun’s are off, theres a split second delay between the bullets and the firing. Maybe the audio file needs cutting to the tip of the recording.

hey con, nice alpha!
-i found another glitch that if you shove then quickly change your character will still move his body but not shove
anyway when will you feature in a alpha the sleep

No sleep yet in the next alpha probably, but I’ve added tiredness and hunger.
- Con

Just wondering if your going to force the frame rate?

Also just looking through I think you need ti increase the alpha on the smoke from the guns, its a bit to trance pearant

“transparent”

Trance pearant sounds like some kind of drugged out fruit eating insect.
- Con

Will the final game have a console^ like steam games (like, spawn weapon m4 and stuff like that). If you will put one in, i would suggest making it available after you beat the game on any difficulty. (so they can at least not cheat their first try).

Yeah, I might leave it in. Depends if the game breaks itself badly enough that people will need it
- Con

NEXT!? need more updates man, i check nearly every day. i mean ANYTHING

got anything else on your plate or is it strictly last stand may i ask?

peace and fucking.

No need for unnecessary cursing, who says that anyway.

I’ve still got Crush the Castle 2 stuff floating around, bits and pieces at this stage. Mostly working on TLS:UC though.
- Con

I found that a pistol just isnt enough to take a room of zombies in the real game you should make A LOT!!!!! less zombies in rooms

well i found a thing that no one ever found,at least i think,didnt u put a secret weapon inside a book? sorry i dont know english well,at least i found some XM8 but what was yellow and like was camoufled,sorry again for the english

Hey Con.
Reguarding the comment a while back, I also found that once in a great while i would take all without selecting “tak all” or pressing A. It occured for me only when i spent large amounts of time spamming the “E” key to try and find rare items. Maybe i hit somrthing without knowing it but it happened enough to make me suspect it was a glitch and not human error. If i am wrong than i apologize.

P.S. Red Dead Redemption is the best damn thing i have seen in a long time. So much homework for finals has already been postponed.

I can’t replicate the magic taking all. Maybe you were moving away from a container to the left as you opened it or something? I dunno, could be there, but I haven’t seen it.

My copy of Red Dead arrives today!
- Con

will there be any bolt action/ semi automatic rifles? It would be fun to have something kinda like an M1 Garand. Also, have you ever read the zombie survival guide? It might give you some good ideas

Yes and yes I have.
- Con

I noticed that in the fact sheet you mentioned that zombies can hear/see survivors. Have you considered allowing the player to shoot out an overhead light in the room to impair a zombie’s vision?

Yeah, I had thought about it. Figuring out where power will fit into the story.
- Con

haha, that was funny, but you know, i made a proverb once… music is like candy, you throw away the rappers.

You’re referring to my twitter? Hot tip, use Twitter

Oh and not all the rappers, RIP Notorious.
- Con

Hi im a big fan of your games. This one is inspired by Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3 i guess and those are my 2 favourites game so … thank you.
Im on a mac and when i press ctrl and click it does the same as a left click maybe i change the button to scroutch.
Keep the good work.
Seb

have you thought of adding minigames

I’m not sure at this stage, I’d like to for the security stuff, but yeah. Dunno.

when ever i press the key right below escape, the screen becomes a bit dark, and then a little box that i can type in also appears

It’s called the tilde (til-da) key and that’s a developers console.
- Con

I hope in the final version we’ll have some sort of safe to keep all our stuff, I hate having to sacrifice the lesser weapons to pick up the new ones. :d Great work so far, keep it up!

ya, some rappers are pretty good (xhibit, Notorious *RIP*) but i dont like twitter, to complicated, you should set up a facebook page for ur games! THAT would attract loyal players

You mentioned having branded shirts… will there be football jerseys for my favorite teams… the Jonestown Militiamen and the Aspenwood Hunters?

I thought of something … have you considered the possibility of maybe having a mini LS1/LS2-like minigame for when zombies ‘break’ into your secure sleeping location? Some things this could do is increase tiredness and hunger, as well as pertinent stats, while decreasing others.

Then people could have a little “defend the castle” scenario sort of like the first game.

Just thinking out loud.

One other question comes to mind – will every entrance be a door, or will there be things like ladders, stairs, sewers, holes, etc?

There’ll be scenarios where you’ll come across barriers that you can use in that way.

Entrances will be all sorts of things, elevators, stairs, magic wardrobes, the works.

I was wondering is there an active reload syestem implemented in the alpha? It almost seemed there was because a curser line would show up everytime you reloaded, moving across the right corner of the screen and if you hit reload again as the small line crossed the white line, you reloaded faster.

Q: when are you gonna ask the community again for more weapon Ideas? there’s still alot more: SMG’s, Shotguns, pistols, insane melee weapons, Rocket launchers. Snipers?

Yeah, it’s broken at the moment. And I’ll be asking about SMG’s soon.

Con, dog, Black beanie, hankercheif, white shirt, camo pants, brown shoes, throw on the G17 and M16 and you are good.

Not too sure how far you are going with the ammo bit. The M 16 and AK 47 are both using the “.556“, but the AK is chambered in the 7.62mm or .308. Also if you have 9mm why not put the “.556“ in “mm“ as well (5.56mm or .223). Nothing big but just adds a more authentic feel. Awesome stuff btw!!

Yeah, I just fixed all those ammo issues.

Another Aiming Glitch Con.. That if you place your cursor in a certain direction your character will look up but the gun is put down

Found a bug, checked all posts but wasn’t mentioned yet.
If a zombie walks over a barricade he slides until he’s of thebarricade again.

Yeah, I just noticed this one the other day too. Character does it as well.
- Con

hey con, i was lookin’ at the reload bar, when i noticed a little white bar, is that just there, or is it a gears of war type thing? BTW, played red dead at my firends house, my god it was BEAUTIFUL!!

Yeah, it’s the skilled reload system. It’s broken at the moment. It’s like the GoW one, but the “hit area” increases as you gain skill in the weapon type you’re using.
- Con

another glitch con hehe i don’t really know how it happened because i just left my char with the FAL crouching when i got back theres a third hand sticking out of his gut. What is it for?

Already answered, read my responses.
- Con

A couple of other things I found, that you either may have fixed or intended to work this way:

With assault rifles (and a couple of pistols) if you lightly click you can get off a single shot. Sometimes that shot has no muzzle flash. Is that just due to the nature of looping the animation?

Also, if you are reloading, the character can engage the flashlight while he is reloading (this is especially weird while using the shotgun). Is this as intended?

All firearms do not always produce a muzzle flash that’s visible to the naked eye.

Flashlight is activated by mind control and wizards.
- Con

i found a glitch, if you stand on a lying zombie and wake it up the character wont move until the animation of the going up finished. its annoying, for me.

Yeah, it’s because the zombies collision kicks in as soon as it wakes up, it’s this way so that you can shoot it.
- Con

I saw all the books and stuff, will those be usable items or have some sort of passive effect? And if you have multiple of the same book, will the effects stack? What if they’re different books that boost the same stats?

They’re usable one time, adds the amount stated.
- Con

i have a new glitch -_- I kept shooting a zombie but it wouldnt DIE i had to retreat into another room and also i think you need a contrl map thing cuz i have no idea how to turn on my flashlight

F
- Con

con, please get rid of the kicking zombies, make them look like they’re biting you or something

Yeah, I”m not a huge fan of them now that they’re in. Was trying to vary the attack animations, but they look out of place.
- Con

Well i’m not sure this is a bug but when you reload the shotgun a almost ”invisible” red RELOADIN’ appear on the shotgun…

Also for equips:
Hooded Sweatshirt BLK
Jeans Black
Handkerchief mask
Riot Helmet
black shoes
with a zombie killer expert shotgun and a kitchen knife…

Fair enough. Lookin’ forward to the next alpha, Con.

jesus… i ran a software cleaning program that cleans all kinds of crap. It erased the cookies, history etc etc. but i didn’t know it could affect the save file from the game… now i have to start all over again. clothes and guns. wtf. is it supposed to be a glitch? was i suppose to know that the save file was on some cookie? using firefox when it happened. where is the save file anyway?

pissed me off. though farloe’s comment made my day. please answer.

Flash saves in with your browser cache, because it’s in the browser. So yeah, don’t do that if you want to save your game. But really, it’s an alpha, no great loss. You’ll have to do everything over anyway.
- Con

Woolhat – Black
T-shirt – Black
Pants – Brown
Brown shoes

Quick q: will there be an option to holster your weapon and/or adopt a low ready stance (and therefore save stamina)?

great alpha con. cant wait for the next.

It’s funny, no one actually reads the post before making comments you didn’t want them to make. I deleted my save data on this (by doing the data clear thing on my browser) and now I can’t find any special stuff.

Can’t wait for Crush The Castle, it will give me something to play before TLS comes out.

Hello!
I found 2 glitches with the AK-47
1. When you equip the gun it dosent have a picture (where it says what weapons are equiped) or the picture remains the same
2. when you reload, when the caracter removes the clip and then you interupt the reload with a shove the gun hasnt got a clip but you can still shoot

Sorry for my language. English is not my native.

I noticed that sometimes when you are searching for items it gives you items you didn’t pick up.

This is what I have equipped:

Military Helmet
Gas Mask
Hooded Sweat Shirt-Blk
Cargo Pants-Camo
FAL Battle Rifle
Sledge

Yea great weapons

Will there be more military clothing in the next beta?(or alpha)

A cougar also killed my kentucky saddler horse in red dead, had it for ages, sucks. Thankyou autosave.

Pretty fun.

I only noticed one glitch thus far. If you’re walking forward and you hit the inventory button, sometimes when you click out of it you won’t be able to walk forward, even if you release the key and press it again. You can break it by jumping. I haven’t been able to replicate this.

I’ll also mention that the reloading animation will probably have to consider what angle the gun is aimed at – it looks bizarre when the character pulls his arms behind his back to reload if the gun is pointed at the ground.

Trivia: The M16 had the wrong capacity / magazine.

Trivia: The M16A2 as with all variants can use any number of different sized STANAG magazines from 20 rounds through to 100.

Also, reload anims won’t change. Too much fuss to consider angles, number of weapons X animations X angles = shitloads of animations.
- Con

Can’t wait for this game.

Luckily it was delayed, or else you may have had to compete with the new bubble tanks game, coming out very soon.

Not exactly competition, totally different genre.

A few things…

1. When a runner climbs a box, then runs at you, they sort of glide for about 2 meters before they hit the ground. Could have something to do with momentum?

2. Do the boxes have memory now? They remember what they just had in them, but create new things as well. But this only extends to 1 or 2 things.

e.g. 1st search-There’s an M4 on the shelf.
2nd search-There’s an M4 on the shelf.
3rd search-There’s an M4, sunglasses…
4th search-There’s an M4 on the shelf.

LOL i found a kid. (or a midget, but looked like a kid cuz it was small) and i found a scar but i didnt have the weight so i deleted stuff checked wasnt there and searching and searching never found it and that happened days ago and i still didnt find it yet…and when reloadin the shotgun facing the left it shows reloadin’ as a mirrored effect o_O

Point taken, but the 20-round magazines are box shaped without a curve, and it’s too short compared to the rifle to be a standard 30 round mag. You got some hybrid between a short 20 round and curved 30 round mag in the gun.

Ah, I see. So it wouldn’t be possible to, say, restrict the movement within a certain arc?

Found another glitch. It’s an ammo counter one, but not the typical one where the ammo displays are overlaid. In my case, I had the rifle bullets sitting to the left of the pistol bullets, not getting in the way, but not doing anything, either. I couldn’t get rid of it.

Yeah, I can lock angles so that reloading occurs in that space. Or you could just aim straight and reload and pretend it’s not there

Hmmm, thought I’d fixed that ammo counter issue too. I’ll look into it.
- Con

Hello, Con.

I found a pretty annoying glitch for all those dress up fans.
When you trash a clothing item your character automatically puts it on and it will not go away even when you go back into the game. thanks con.

Jack
and if you ever want a name for a NPC could you put Jack Kingston as it? be pretty cool.

I have only one very serious concern, Mr. Con. Will the zombies have biting animations? I’m so tired of zombies slapping me around all the time like in many other games, you know? The game will still be completely brutal without chomping action, of course…it’s just something I’m starting to really miss.

this game will be sweat! and the shove ideal is a great ideal, love it.

Yay i found a new glitch! Basically i was just strolling around about to enter the room to the left to start killing zombies when my character froze, and he kept on switching his clothes and guns really really fast. I also noticed that there were strange yellow squares to point out his head, torso, legs and feet? Anyway i got some pics for evidence, i swear this isn’t a work of photoshop of whatever.

http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad238/DannyDaNinja/Yoooooooooooooooo.jpg?t=1275052943

Anyway, next time it comes out I’ll find out the cause. Because whenever something isn’t right when i’m playing a flash game it goes in debug mode and it keeps on telling me what failed to happen. I didn’t copy and paste the problem for the debug on this glitch though.

That’s crazy. Sounds like Flash crashed on you, there was an infinite loop bug in the weapon swapping / reloading, think it’s been fixed though.
- Con

Hey, i was just thinking that it would be cool if when you put on sunglasses, that the lighting would change and get darker. Also you could add some colored tinted glasses and have the lighting change colors.

I’m really looking towards the release! Although I have a Few Suggestions… Email me if you’d like to know…

Ratchet9494@yahoo.com
