Here are some of the features that are already complete!

- Global gold system for unlocks!
- 9 completely new characters to unlock and play with.
- 9 new starting weapons with each new character, which can be modded.
- Completely redrawn character models. They were in need of an update!
- End game screen, this is where your total gold and stats are tallied!
- Permanent character stat upgrades using gold!
- Statistics! - see how many stupid zombies you've killed over your lifetime.
- and much more......
Other Notes:
Online: So I've been looking into adding Networking to Zombie Party and it's something I've never done before. After looking into it I've realized given the nature of the game (TONS of enemies and bullets) it's going to be a bit more challenging than I had anticipated. Lots of sending of mass packets of data and information. THIS is not to say it won't happen! Only that it may be a slower process than I had though previously. I am still going to focus on other areas of the game while slowly implementing online. I want to do it correctly as to optimize the MP experience. As the game grows I may end up getting some additional programmers which will speed up the process.
Update Frequency: I know I promised you guys weekly updates and have tried to stay true to that but life sure has a funny way of keeping you from getting things done. Regardless, the next update is bringing tons of new content! I am hopefully starting my part time job next week which will allow me to spend my free time working on ZP, rather than looking for a job!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! Thank you so much for all the support and kind words! You guys make it more than worth it! Always feel free to contact me for any reason! I love hearing from you guys! :)
Thanks,
Ben
BUILD 4.1
Expect even more frequent updates/patches.
This build is feeling pretty good!
- you can now play any of the zones from the main menu using "survival mode"
- Dark Forest, Desert, Winterland, Undersea, Hell zones
- The games feeling much more balanced, expect to be challenged. ;)
Ill let you check out the rest yourself
Make sure to always check out the updated Change Log on the main menu of the game! Its always 100% up to date, its my own methodical way of tracking my changed and such! So its mostly all there.
I am off to work on a global gold system with unlocks system. Lots of fun new characters are coming, along with permanent stat upgrades, and custom loadouts. :)
Keep in touch thanks for being awesome! Tell your friends about the game! and try out the local multiplayer mode!
Peace guys!
Ben
BUILD 4 *mostly*
AS OF NOW this update includes 2 new zones (only accessable thru adventure mode), new conent for existing zones, new enemies, as well as a wealth of other updates and balances. Have fun guys!!!
Due to this release coming early there may be bugs due to me not having the time to fully debug. IF YOU FIND ANY GAME BREAKING BUGS tell me and I will revert back to the old build as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot guys! I hope you have fun with this until I return. :D
Peace fellow gamers.
