SUPPORT US BY BUYING THE GOLD EDITION !

Hello Everyone.

As everyone probably knows by now, the development of our games is mainly paid by the money of our pockets. Sure there are some awesome artists that have contributed tons of material to Ominous Entertainment for free, artists like Nathan Carlisle and Joshua Carrenca that keep the world of survival horror alive.

We would like Super Zombie Desperation to be an awesome experience for mobile devices, sure there are plenty of mobile Zombie killers out there, but we are also aiming the direction of the game to be a narrative experience. To deliver a good gameplay experience we are looking to get some support from the players, that's why we have released a paid advertisement free version of Zombie Desperation for those that would like to support Super Zombie Desperation and our other games.

We named this new version, the GOLD edition. Right now it only boasts of being advertisement free, but once the shop update is implemented, the owners will have special benefits, like extra survivor points to buy more gear.

And to commemorate the release of the GOLD edition, our first paid game as Ominous Entertainment, we bring you a small trailer of the game.



Support us by buying the game. If you don't want to buy the game but you would still like to support us, feel free to grab the free version, either way, we will be very grateful.

A NEW MENU AND A TEASER

Hello Everyone 

We have updated Zombie Desperation with a new menu that contains a news-board to keep our players informed. There you will be able to read what the latest update is about and what is coming. In this case, we can see the latest relevant update, the pumking heads, while in the "whats coming next" we can read about the survival shop.

New menu
This way, we hope we can engage the players that don't read our Indiedb news
by letting them know whats going to be contained within the next update.

At last but no less important (actually it isn't relevant at all), I had planned to create a promotional gameplay video for the game. But the Unity project corrupted and I couldn't contact the programmer in time to request a copy, in other words I couldn't record any gameplay so I had to made a very short video with gameplay screens and a small horde I recorded before the project crashed lol. It is better to show the results than nothing at all. 


For those that noticed that a new version of Zombie Desperation appeared in Google Play, we'll talk about that later. All I'll say for now is that it is "paid" and is free of advertising. We'll use the funds we gather from that version to pay whats left of the development of Super Zombie Desperation. I'll dig more about this matter at our next e-mail. As always, if you have not played Zombie Desperation, we encourage you play it, by doing it you support the development of our other games. Check it out !

THE PUBLISHER VERSION WIL BE REMOVED FROM GOOGLE PLAY

Hello Everyone

Just some small news. We've ceased the publishing activities of the publisher version of Zombie Desperation and we will remove it from Google Play, but fear not, the classic version will still be available. 

If you are thinking the following: "wth are you talking about, there were two versions of Zombie Desperation ?" Then the answer is, yes. There were two versions of Zombie Desperation, the publisher and the classic version. Check their icons below

Publisher Version (Removed) Classic Version
Zombie Desperation [publisher version] Icon New icon

The differences between each other were minimal, the removed version had some performance issues and suffered from heavy advertising. The reason why this version has been removed was because we are doing some quality control over our apps, and that version simply had to die. The second reason is because we are going to upload a paid version of the game very soon and we don't want the players to be confused with 3 versions of the game out there.

We want the content of the paid version to be a surprise, we'll disclose it here once it releases.

As always, if you have not played Zombie Desperation, what are you waiting for ? You can download it here

NEW FEATURES

Hello Everyone.

It seems that our players were quite pleased, or rather "amused" with the pumpkin heads update. We'll leave it on until November ends. Now, into more important stuff. We are going to introduce a form of currency to our games.
Survivor Points Icon

The SURVIVOR POINTS or SP for short, will be used to purchase new items to help our players survive, such as "Critical Medkits" or "Electrified Armor". 

Critical Medkits are new items that will completely restore your health and will also trigger an adrenaline. This item will be automatically activated one your life is depleted. 

Electrified Armor is also a new item that will increase your maximum HP and will also kill any enemy that hits you. It will also render you immune to grabs from the vermin and the bleeder. 

Other old items will also be purchase-able like ice grenades and rockets for the rocket launcher. Below is a picture of the WIP of the shop. Nothing fancy, we have our hands full with SZD.

Shop WIP

Players will be able to earn SP at the end of each stage (even if they die). The amount will depend on how much time did they survive and the amount of zombies killed. Impatient players will be able to buy SP at the shop with micro transactions. 

With this new update, an equipment system will also be implemented, now the player will also be able to carry different weapons at the same time and switch between them. 

This new currency and shop will also be implemented to Super Zombie Desperation. That's all for today's update. If you haven't played the game, check it out. By playing it you will be supporting our other projects ! Also check out Demon Runner, his downloads aren't doing to well, it needs some love :) lol
As always. Thanks for reading.

PUMPKIN HEAD UPDATE IS NOW AVAILABLE

Hello Everyone

We have been extremely busy with the development of Super Zombie Desperation, as we'll explain in the news we'll post tomorrow at SZD indiedb site. We have been so busy that we almost forgot to update our game with a small detail for the players of Zombie Desperation. 

pumkinhead update promo

All zombies will have a pumpkin on their heads making it easier to "headshot" them. It is nothing of the other world but it is weird sight once you are invaded by the hordes, that's why we won't post any spoiling screenshots. Ominous Entertaiment wishes you a Happy Halloween night !

If you haven't played the game, check it out for Android or iOS

Note: The update will only be applied to Android devices.

The game version of our publisher will be shortly released after the basic version.

A performance update will be issued in a few days for Zombie Rock, it will improve by 50% the game performance. We are also developing a pretty cool game for Recon9.

Look forward to play Tap'Em Dead



And lastly but no less important, the past few months we have in contact with new entrepreneurs that are interested in the game industry. We answer questions such as, "how do I make money?", "whats wrong with my game idea?", "I want to make games, where do I start ?.
