Wang Tiles

This could be really awesome depending on how zombies themselves work. I guess we defend ourselves against zombies and slowly push towards their stronghold? Then do we just collapse the whole thing or is there some sort of other objective, such as an item we have to retrieve?

Also lol @ wang tiles, just sayin'.

 

It certainly looks like a really cool mechanic, especially when the new lighting is implemented as well.

 

Dungeons I like where this is going!

 

Awesoooome. I hope zombies have a LoS instead of always being aware of where everyone is and moving towards them.

Thanks for taking over the [kagdev] posting. :3

 

I think the fact zombies have a castle, somewhere to "live" leads to the following gameplay : During the day you can attack them but at the coming night you should go back and prepare to defend your castle !

 

Oh man, I love learning about things like this! That Herringbone article makes me want to launch into designing a DnD dungeon/cave/labyrinth tileset for personal use, if I ever get back into DMing. Of course, that'd just be another project to add to my list of things to do... But still, a welcome distraction. Thanks for sharing!

 

The castle looks rather big, so I assume they'll be crowded by zombies which is nice :D

When there will be LoS, going into such castle or a dungeon will turn out as a mini adventure..

This will also be awesome in normal multiplayer, fighting over such castles and ruins, though slightly smaller sizes could be appropiate.
I'm looking forward a lot to this build, and if the poor hit detection will be also improved in it, it'll be the greatest update ever yet!

 

Remember in another dev blog they mentioned killing necromancers? Maybe there will be a necromancer deep inside of the fort spawning out zombies and we must defeat him :3

 

We can hope but I believe Geti said that things like necromancers were being reserved for overworld.

 

Eh, but zombies are being reserved for premium players last I heard, anyway.

 

I hope the zombies will be able to climb ladders and maybe somewhat work together

 

They will be able to climb on each other.

 

Looking forward to more elaborate details about this. Looks exciting!

 

This explains why the walls in this are laced with spike traps and on the right where the zombies are, the wall sticks out instead of being straight down so they can't just climb the wall. Good thinking, I was afraid of players just walling themselves off completely...which would obviously be no fun.
Will there be an animation of them actually climbing the walls, or will it be the default walking animation whilst rising, same as climbing trees or ladders?

 

If they climb walls, would a stone or two halt that climbing? Outwards, not upwards.

 

Man. Does no one have a witty one-liner for "wang tiles"?

You guys are too mature for me. I'm outta here.

 

Hehehehehe... wang.
