Content

I didn't want to delete this post since there's meaningful feedback in the comments so I edited the post.  Patreon is requiring me to place a link here so I just slapped the itchio page >_>

Anyways- I took down AlphaV2 because, unfortunately, the tested changes actually break the game further. 

-Disabling the key plugin that causes some users to not be able to play also disables the crafting features so items were completely free.

-Zombie softlock bug occasionally persists.  A zombie will touch you and the game will freeze forcing you to close out.

It's pretty clear to me that I've got to look back and completely revise the system for how zombies damage the player because the current method is not particularly liked by RPG Maker.  Since the original Alpha build is at least playable, we'll leave it at that version until Beta 0.1!

With Beta 0.1, I will be looking at a lot of the feedback and making some adjustments as well as adding more content so stay tuned!  

====

On a side note, thank you guys so much for your support!  We already hit the initial Patreon goal which is incredible!  I definitely was not expecting so much interest and excitement for Zombie's Retreat!  Assuming the AlphaV2 goes smooth, I will start teasing content for the first Beta release in the upcoming weeks!

See you guys soon!

Zombie's Retreat by Siren

Zombie's Retreat is an action RPG involving a young man and his camping retreat. What's intended to be a bonding experience turns horribly wrong when a sudden evil outbreak spreads across the camp. With very 'strange' circumstances surrounding this new found threat, it is up to the player to save any and all survivors while attempting to escape in one piece!

Also- there were a bunch of funny comments in regards to friendly zombies. I'm sure they won't ALL be violent ;)

:D CHEERS (c)

For the mess hall if you go straight to the trash can and alert the zombies, they can surround you and then you cant move out of there and locking the game.Yes you can shoot them if you have a girl with you so you can move to the south facing zombie to escape. But if no ammo then ya game over. Small insight for the future.

ZombiesRetreat

Are they not harming you? That should have been fixed with the Alpha V2. The original Alpha, Zombies would go friendly after dealing 1 damage. If you're just talking about getting trapped while searching, that's not unintended. Best to clear out indoor spots before looting!

I had some issues with the new V2, with the zombies, getting stuck, probably this is what you encountered too, but I realized that for some reason the saves from the first release made the new V bugged. So I started a new game and now I can die, every time, because if they catch me I lose life points..maybe to fast now.

Hi, this will be the first time I post anything towards your page! I was going to give it when the Alpha was released, but things happened... So I am going to give it here to you. Just know it is a review, the previous is alright for me with no bugs found. :D First off, I like the premise. I do, my "precious first time" (just kidding) was not great as my looting did not bear fruit a single carrot (not a fruit), so it was game over for me first time, but apart from that, it is cool! *thumbs up* I find the opening a little short, where it is arrive, look around briefly, get attacked, tutorial over. Maybe a little more dialogue or being able to explore a little more when more areas open up? Game play, the looting to exploring does peak my interest, although the Hatchet and Fishing Rod maybe requires additional input? Again, I have not checked the Alpha V2 if that has been looked into. The Hatchet only gives 2 scraps of Wood, quick makes 50% production cost of this tool, and the Fishing is not there (at least for me?), maybe not implemented yet? Perhaps the fishing can be improved (chance wise) with another character being around or over time getting fish increases the chance to get a fish? Lastly for characters, I like both of them, I do (sadly there is a but here) however Rachel's part feels a little rushed at the moment from her first scene to the last scene. Perhaps more dialogue or more Main Quests before that final scene? Also, on a side note, it would be cool to get more backstory for these characters (and the MC by the way) as the relationship between them. This can be for future builds obviously. :D This is my thoughts on your new side game Siren. Congrats on that milestone too!!! Hope to be surprised for cool future updates and builds! Kind Regards DraculLair Vania

I could get fish from fishing in V1. you need to buy the thing and near the river you will see a circle where you could start fishing.

Hello Siren, good job for this alpha of AZR, I wondered if in your game you plan of other group of survivor (hostile or not)? And survivor saved will be just woman or also man(people)? I really liked this alpha the game play is good, a little bit fast intro and I have to meet friendly zombie for the first time in a game lol^^ (sorry for my English I am French I have of to use a tranlator )

DraculLair Vania

Hi to you, I did "buy" (never can get over that since you "make" them) the Rod, and knew exactly where to go (kind of a duh moment no offence), but I kept on getting that "MC is too slow", "MC tugs too fast" and finally "No fish bites bait" all in a massive row. I checked every time of the day for a few days and, well, nadda. Maybe just me? I am not bothered with it, I do like the concept though and decided to give a few possible suggestions/ideas for future builds. I was also thinking of the zombies, because when it said "Zombies re-spawned" after the 3rd/4th day, no zombie in the buildings re-spawned for me... Would be cool if they did, makes the game slightly harder, possible for a idea? Thanks for your reply. Kind Regards DraculLair Vania

RenatoSs

maybe I was just a better fisherman :) . when it say that u were to slow...that was a fish on your rod, but you didn't do anything to catch him. you have to use enter to catch it. is not auto catch. Or it was that you were unlucky, since the places give random loots, so even if get more fishes, is completely different even for me if I start the game and play it again or load it from my last save

ZombiesRetreat

Appreciate the feedback, this is all super constructive and helpful which is always nice! -Rachel's story will be revised for sure. Her story was super fast for both demo purposes and because of time constraints. -I want to create a quest at the beginning that guarantees you some water and food. I tried to make loot rates generous towards those two but ya, sometimes you can get screwed -With fishing, you need to press Z (A) right when the (!) appears! The hatchet requires no minigame but I will make it more durable too.

ZombiesRetreat

Hey! No men will be saved but yes, not everyone will be very friendly towards you. I don't want to reveal too much but do know there will be some opposition!

DraculLair Vania

Ah, cool!! Did not know that Z was supposed to be used. Could give a explanation in the next build or something that if a person makes the Fishing Rod, pictures are shown or a slight tutorial for that purpose. My bad. :P No problem on Rachel, just pointing out. I like story telling to be honest! To be more honest, have been around your page since September last year (for ToP)! Silently of course. xD Thanks for the feedback from the both of you, really appreciate it! Will give more feedback on future builds for both games now on, and even more so when I can get to be patron... If I can get my card sorted... -_- Never mind that! xD

Aragorn

Oh mate, u just fix my bug with that "undefined is not a..." . Thanks, but will i be able to play the next update? or i will have the same problem like before? sry if im bad at eng...

Arcane Azmadi

So are you going to set a new support goal?

ZombiesRetreat

Unfortunately disabling the plugin causing that broke other parts of the game so I have to re-enable it for now. I now know that it's the specific plugin causing the problem so I'm going to try looking into it and seeing if I can tweak it.

Aragorn

I'll be gladly thankful if u fix that problem mate, cuz u have a great game... :)

TextileMonster

OK, now I NEED to see a sexy scene with a hot ScarlettAnn-drawn zombie girl. [Emphasis on LIVING dead, of the "can form complete sentences" variety.]
