ZombMe: The New Sidekicks
ZombMe: The New Sidekicks YouTube video by Michael P

Still working on ZombMe--kinda going sideways with progress...But now you can search for and find unique helpers in each stage. Find all of them in a stage, and you can have them buddy up with you for the rest of the game!

I have a bad habit of making games that are too hard...so with ZombMe I'm adding a lot of difficulty setting customization. It's one of the last big features on my ToDo checklist.

Next up: Testing, optimizing, and augmenting all the levels.

Another New Year resolution for me: Be more social...

...Ok, maybe not in real life, but at least in my zombie game. Now you can run with your own hoard!

For me, the hardest thing with building and publishing a video game all by myself is…promoting it. But I think I finally figured it all out: sponsor a car in a small town’s demolition derby car. Better than the Super Bowl!

I might have spoken too soon about having the demo ready for PAX. I can't get a successful build, since Unity keeps randomly crashing. I've tried dozens of times and it's random crash after crash after crash...

Even having the levels all set up AND PAX around the corner isn't helping with motivation...But I did manage to set up some headgear and sidekick configuration scenes, which was one of the biggest remaining mechanisms needed for the game.

Time to prepare for PAX WEST 2025, where I spend a lot of money to promote my game, which probably won't sell enough to pay for the trip home...from the first day.

But still, it's more for fun...and reaching out to my fan. :D

ZombMe: Giant Robot Arm Fight
ZombMe: Giant Robot Arm Fight YouTube video by Michael P

Worked on yet another section of the boss fight...This section is where the zombie finds himself on the arm of the giant robot and has to avoid getting flicked off. This is him not being successful...

After several months, ZombMe finally broke 100 wishlists on Steam. On to PAX WEST and Steam Next Fest, and maybe I'll get to 110 in a few more months!

I think I'm up to 10 different boss fight sections in the last level--I wanna make this be one to remember.

But you won't be fighting alone--after all, you've made some frenemies along the way.

Working on the last level (which might have more stages, enemies, and boss fights than some games have in their entirety), working on getting a demo published for the two upcoming Steam events, and trying to integrate things with Xbox.

Penultimate boss here (all five versions)

So I might not truly be a one-dev indie? But I guess it depends how much you give him credit for...

I spent the entire day working on my game and ended up further behind than when I started...I keep coming up with ideas and I just have to build them.

But in the end I think it will be worth it. Especially for the people who recognize this room...

ZombMe: The Enemies are Getting Smarter
ZombMe: The Enemies are Getting Smarter YouTube video by Michael Palotas

I'm working on the second last level, and the enemies are getting smarter--they can now target things other than the main character to cause more problems as you try to stay dead.

Only a few months left to get this done....I'm working on the last levels, but also making sure they go out with a bang. All of this is just from one level where the zombie faces off against the many attacks of the Zombie Hunter...

Been working on World 8...The last level is going to have plenty of boss fights in it--the first one being four versions of the World 1 boss that you have to engage at the same time

Some days the dev work on the game is boring, but hopefully it still all ultimately adds up to a fun experience for the gamers.
