About

This game was developed during a 2 week game jam. Much of this time was spent building the Zombie AI, balancing performance with inelegance. They ended up with a Seeking behaviour combined with an Avoidance behaviour. I was able to get zombie count well past 200 in testing. Most of the slow down involved how the AI "saw" it's environment.

If I could do it again, I would still prototype the AI in GDScript, but I would move performance critical choke points to a C++ module.

Game Play design leaves much to be desired. I wish I had added Multiplayer, a larger level, goals other than "survive" (capture points, defend areas, hold choke points, etc), and droppable/pickup weapons.
