Con Artist Games » Blog Archive » The Last Stand: Union City – Alpha 0.75 /* */

Relatively small Alpha update for you guys today. This one includes the ability to dress your characters. You’ll probably want to given that you start out in your whites. Simply collect some clothing through searching and then click on it in the inventory to equip it.

I’ve scattered all types of clothing around the 3 rooms, so have a hunt around and see what you can find. I also cranked the character’s search ability up so you’ll be able to find more of pretty much everything.

Your clothing and inventory should all save between play sessions so try refreshing the page a few times to see if you can break it.

Toggle crouch is also switched on, wanted to get some feedback on how you guys feel about how it works.

Let me know what your favourite outfit combinations are!



Here’s what’s changed:
- Added ability to find and put on clothing.
- Added new clothing type; shoes
- Fixed floating head shove bug
- Fixed weapon pose issues on loading game
- Added knockback to melee weapons

NOTES:
- The game is in “endless” search mode for testing only.
- Boxes repopulate, items will not leave boxes in the final version unless you take them.
- Some weapons do not have sound.
- Lots of weapons and items have incorrect descriptions

Known Bugs:
- Character sliding when crouched and moving, between rooms, over boxes etc.
- Deleted clothing and weapons stay equipped
- Floating weapons when shoving
- Character head and body flip out when changing rooms
- Some weapons have no sound (not a bug, just not implemented)
- Feet slot not showing the correct description, displays “undefined”
- Floating hats when wearing brown wool hat
- Ammo icon problems when switching weapons
- Zombies on ground killed play standing death animations


PLAY THE LAST STAND: UNION CITY – ALPHA 0.75

UPDATE: Please leave any found bugs on the Alpha Feedback Page from now on.

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

  • trevor M.

    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.

    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?

  • Grunmar

    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.

  • Ripfengor

    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.

    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!

  • Grunmar

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

  • Ripfengor

    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

  • GySgt. Murpy

    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.

  • Grunmar

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

    Oooh, someone found some special stuff :)

  • Nicky Brown

    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

  • http://zach Zach

    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

  • eatmymeat

    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

  • Ewet8

    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

  • http://zach Zach

    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

  • Ewet8

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

  • Nicky Brown

    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

  • Unknown

    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

  • derick

    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

  • Tammy

    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

  • Nicky Brown

    Con,
    You got it!

    Nicky

  • Zaphod

    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.

    SMG’s none in there yet. That’s actually my next call out to the community, will post about it soon.

  • Tammy

    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

  • lolman

    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

  • Jeff2Death

    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 :D
    - Con

  • Tray Dogenzaka

    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.

    Same items over and over – Those are the set items for that container. The game is in debug mode at the moment so it refills itself every time you open it.

    Day / Night – Has been in for quite a while, it’ll cycle through a full day and night continuously.

    Inventory – TAB opens it, I should add the “i” key as an alternative though.

  • kuronosan

    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.

  • lolman

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

  • lolman

    found the scar-h and xm-8 btw

  • Unknown

    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 :P

  • http://www.jinxpadder.net.tc/ aSakofDonuts

    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.

    “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.

  • Elijah

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

  • Diego

    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?

  • Unknown

    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 :-P

  • melo

    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

  • http://armorgames.com Kevin from AG

    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.

  • slamie

  • Jake

    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

  • http://www.jinxpadder.net.tc/ aSakofDonuts

    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?

  • melo

    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.

    lol your like my science teacher hahaha!

  • adam

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

  • Kiwi

    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

  • Kiwi

    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

  • MrDayCee

    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

  • Jacob

    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.

    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”.

    When pointing the flashlight at the window during night time, it seems to light up the city.

    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.

  • http://armorgames.com Kevin from AG

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

  • Conman

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

  • Conman

    GOOD WEAPONS sorry i didnt add it on my last comment

  • Daniel

    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…

  • AzuRe–

    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.

  • jack

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

  • EpicSandwhich101

    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.

  • dusty

    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

  • derick

    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

  • Ash

    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

    An Activated Flashlight makes my [Fitness +5] walking slower.

    There are Tons of M16 in the game :D

    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!

  • d3wd

    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.]

    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.

  • brad

    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.

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

  • Basement_Gamer

    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.

    - 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

  • d3wd

    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.

    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.

  • Durendul

    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

    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.

    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.

  • apple-custard

    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
    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?

  • Bib

    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.

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

  • kevin

    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?

    When does the head float? Are you standing / crouched, is it during reloading / firing?

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

    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

  • Bib

    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.

    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. :P

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

  • ChaosMan

  • clebga

    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.

    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 :D .

    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.

    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.

    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

  • trevor M.

    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

  • mDOM

    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.

  • ChaosMan

    military helmet

    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

  • Joel

    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.

    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

  • Zslayer74

    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.

  • Your fan

    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. :)

  • Mr0Buggy

    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.

  • Killermon12

    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.

    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.

    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

  • CadeMan

    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.

  • CadeMan

    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.

    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 :)

  • CadeMan

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

  • bk

    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.

  • Maggot-Juggalo

    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

  • some guy

    -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!

  • Your mom

    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

  • hate_spam

    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.

    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.

  • Zslayer74

    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.

  • Hideo Kojima

    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.

    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.

  • melo

    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.

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

    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! :)

  • Hollows

    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.

  • CHECO

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

  • Vengroe

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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

  • keatosimo

    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.

    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

    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

  • Slappythehobo

    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?

    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

  • David

    Looks Real good. Thank you for keeping us updated.

  • shift4101

    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.

  • Goliath

    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

  • Slappythehobo

    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.

    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.

  • ZaneNich

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

  • Basement_Gamer

    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.

  • Fellblade

    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.

  • CrimsonBlade55

    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.

  • Vengroe

    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.

  • GySgt. Murpy

    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.

    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.

  • Flameonfish

    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.

    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.

  • MrPinkyBoy

    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

  • Tyler

    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.

  • John Perry

    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!

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

    There will be more than one.

  • Dan B

    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.

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

    - Con

  • hunterelf

    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!

    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…

    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

  • kuronosan

    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.

  • johny

    The Xm8 kicks ass.

  • Zslayer74

    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)

  • Edvin

    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 :D the “shove” should be a little more fluid, but otherwise, I am so goddamn exited for this game!

    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!

  • Oz

    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.

  • WorkerDrone

    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.

  • Theron

    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?

  • Dereks

    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 person

    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 :P )

  • Devoidless

    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

  • Devoidless

    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.

    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

  • christian

    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.

  • GySgt. Murpy

    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

  • lolRich

    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 :D

    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!

    Not being a twat here or nothing but MAYBe you should spend more time on the game and less time fannying about with this.

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

    - Con

  • A Friend

    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.

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

    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.

    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 :P

    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.

    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

  • Louis

    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

  • Nightfire107

    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! :D

  • Raphael Turrigiano

    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

  • gamesharkk

    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.

    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.

  • bob

    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.

    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!

  • keatosimo

    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

  • kuronosan

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

    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.

  • Jack

    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.

  • Kendall

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

  • kilolima

    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.

  • darkviolator

    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

  • Dikke4eD

    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.

  • keatosimo

    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

  • darkviolator

    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

  • kuronosan

    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

  • Babalenong

    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

  • PirateGuy

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

  • Exodus

    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…

  • kuronosan

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

  • melo

    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.

  • Mogi

    Woolhat – Black

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

  • Noscope

    great alpha con. cant wait for the next.

  • Bib

    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.

  • http://www.conartistgames.com/index.php/the-last-stand-union-city-alpha-075/#comments Philip G.

    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.

  • comrade

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

  • Rocco

    This is what I have equipped:

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

    Yea great weapons

  • Ghost251

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

  • Ash

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

  • John_234

    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.

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

    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.

  • shadowkiller14

    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

  • John_234

    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.

    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.

  • Mr. Romero

    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.

  • kyle

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

  • http://armorgames.com/user/Dannydaninja DannyDaNinja

    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.
