Undead Mayhem
Undead Mayhem
2011Probably the most in-detail game I have made. I started making it when I was about 16, and put 4-5 years into it. Undead Mayhem! It's a top down zombie survival shooter.

Play as vampire, drinking blood, taking flight as a bat and converting the enemy.
Level up your moves based on use to have a different playing style every time.
Shadow Survival
Avoid detection of the humans and survival the night and day by sticking ot the shadows.
Some of the things I was most proud about this game at the time of making it:
The 2.5D / 3D graphics engine I built myself ontop of Game Makers 2D engine.
The time of day system, and lighting system. I built my own simple lighting system for the simple 3D rendering engine I developed. The gameplay was significantly impacted by light, shadows, and therefore, time-of-day. When enemies were in the undead were in the shadows, they grew stronger. Some taking on new forms & abilities.

Enemies
The rate of spawn and types of enemies to spawn, is directly tied to the number of kills you have as a log function.
Zombies
The first undead you will encounter, and most common throughout the game. They look like blue/purple humans.
They come in two types.
Walking. $1 value when killed
Running. $3 value when killed. (Not until ~60 kills)
Melee range attacks, easy enough to kill.
When in shadows they become slightly stronger, larger and faster.
Wraiths
The second undead to haunt you. Faster than walking zombies, but slower than running zombies the real danger of wraiths is spotting them. You can only see them by their shadows. If this wasn't hard enough at day, makes them particularly difficult at night / in the dark. When concealed in the shadows they are completely invisible until a few feet away from you.
Wraiths however, are very easy to destroy if you can hit them. Nearly always a one-hit-kill, and worth $5 when killed.
They will spawn at about 45 kills.
Giant Zombies
Huge zombies with a lot of health. Luckily these wont come sprinting at you like the smaller zombies can, but they will take much more to bring down. If you're going in for melee, its wont be a on-hit-kill.
Spawn at about 200 kills. Worth $5.
Ants
Slimes
Vampires
Witches
Beasts
