Sorry for the late update (I know you were all eager to see it last friday), I've recently come across an amazingly annoying problem with the side on version (and I think will carry onto the new lane version too), which is that the game seems to take up a massive amount of physical memory, and doesn't seem to empty it upon deletion of resources. I will definitely look into this. If your game starts to lag severly, just select "quit game" and restart the application.
So, this update adds in:
Extras & Cheats Menu (Suggest some more if you have ideas!)
Points Gained from Mercenaries depending on Rank
COMPLETE SPRITE OVERHAUL
Sex Grapples changed
Game Over in sex sprite changed
For "sex grapples changed", I have added in the ability to "grind" (aka speed up grapple). This is currently only available on the standing frontal grapple. After submitting, mash the left & right keys as you normally would. This will make the grapple end faster, however, not only will it drain fatigue, it also increases the chance of the zombie cumming inside of you multiple times. It will also give you Whore experience.
In the latest version, you can only properly play "the Mercenaries". The new game option takes you to a test room, where you can play around, and you can train your knifing ability. This is until I get a map of Montbury drawn up, and we build the town ready for the first chapter.
I'll reply to your comments individually :)
Enjoy,
Z
P.S. Since MegaUpload has been shut down, can anyone suggest another free file sharing service?
new game only gives you a blue screen and 2 enemies 2 kill but nothing after is this a mistake or have i missed something

DeleteI put that on the post :P Go into Extras and unlock The Mercenaries.
I've tried downloading the file 4 times, and each time it tells me i can't open it as a .zip file because it's invalid...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your work on this game. It works for me as advertised. But I really wonder why this game uses up a gig of ram. You must have some memory leaks in your code somewhere. Also, I noticed that when you pick up hand gun ammo, the total ammo count in the HUD doesn't get updated correctly.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering about the ram problem too, it seems to go up dramatically when it loads the resources, but it doesn't seem to decrease the ram after unloading resources.
DeleteIt should update when you pick up, I'll have a look at that. Thanks!
What is unlockable? I can't seem to unlock anything and I've almost 1.5k bp
ReplyDeleteYou have to unlock the main ones first, aka Mercenaries, Gallery, Cheats.
DeleteAfter unlocking these, scroll down the list and you'll find more things you can unlock. You should be able to unlock 2 pictures, and all 4 cheats. (Obviously) you cannot unlock any characters yet.
Horay! Finaly Out!
ReplyDeleteShame there is no town yet but still it's nice to see you are progressing.
Comments:
- X for subbmission button is not working
- Armour plays its role only on high sexual attack chance setting (means it wears out on tuching zombie, instead of beeing grappled, yet it does not give any help in "biting" grapple)
- "Grind" worked in previous versions too and i hope it stays that way. Not "grinding" actualy means heroine gets 20% virus +1 Whore point wile grinding gives same point and ~1% virus. Getting +20 points that way is actualy possieble. I noticed it works on all type of "rape" gapples.
- Current 20% Whore bonus isn't working with zombies (only +1 point so 0.2 => 0). Multiplying all by 10 would do nice.
- Would be nice if high level Whore skills would give heroine some ability to regain health.
- While naked and kneeling, clothed sprite is displayed.
- Succesfull sex sometimes causes zombie to die. Thats cruel.
I hope thats helpfull and can't wait to see next relase.
Hey there, to answer your questions:
Delete- It's C for submit
- I didn't think of having your clothes protect against damage, I don't know why though, the first two stages she has her combat vest on, so I guess I could reduce damage while in the first two damage stages.
- Huh, grinding should only work on standing frontal atm, I'll take a look.
- As in, making everything give/require more experience? That could work, but I'll have to look at the skills and events that give you XP
- That feature is currently being planned...
- Yep, hadn't actually received nude crouching... or I just misplaced the sprite, there's quite a lot! xP
- Ah, on one of the grapples I missed out a bit of code that sets the zombies health to what it was before the grapple, and since I did that, it just sets it as 0.
Thanks for the comment!
Yous said "first to stages"" there's only one little strip of a platform and 2 zombies...
DeleteHmmm, Perfect news, I downloaded it and will be back with some feedback. Thanks mate =)
ReplyDeletedon't have Campaing?!
ReplyDeletehow much points i need to unlock gallery and cheats?
ReplyDeleteMediafire and fiberupload are some great websites that dont give the bs that rapidfire and deposit file gives.
ReplyDeletereally really great work. hope you will release updates now sooner.
ReplyDeletebtw. for the gallery and cheats main thing you need 500 Points
Heavily weighting grapples towards sexual shenanigans doesn't stop the violent game overs from plaguing 90% of my losses x_X
ReplyDeleteI've been noticing a significant memory leak.
ReplyDeleteMediafire is one of the best free ones now, if not the best...
ReplyDeleteAnyway will mess around with it, though it would be nice to have access to cheats from early on - even then most people will not use the cheats but those who want/need it can :)
Are we able to unlock the other chars for in Mercenaries? Probably a silly question but I just started playing this last night lol.
ReplyDeleteErr, nevermind re-read the comments and found the answer to my question. Derp me.
DeleteLooks good, I've noticed a few things though...
ReplyDeleteIf you press C ( I think, might be a different button) in conjunction while picking something up, it seems to freeze the character so they can't move until they've been grappled.
The zombies in mercenary mode don't seem to want to come out of their spawn zones. While I can force them to come out, it seriously hampers the time and combos in the process...
I've noticed that the game has a tendency to freeze during loading screens.
heya, zippyshare is also a good filehoster, in the way that they dont restrict dl speed for free users
ReplyDeleteYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHurray :) It looks so good now, can't wait for doggie version :D
ReplyDeleteEverything seems perfect... Almost, May I make some suggestions?
ReplyDelete1 - Throughout the RE series, I surely recall the zombies not all being solidly green, In the first version of the RE:P you made a great detailed sprite of the zombies, limbs sticking out and some parts dont have skin and the meat was showing. Honestly, perfect details. I know it means to recheck all the sprites but I think that would clearly improve the game in the means of 'Resident Evilism '
2 - Sounds, The ones you used before on the zombies fit them perfectly, I greatly recommend re-using them here.
3 - Amount of BP for the unlockables in 'The Mercenaries' are quite too much, you may want to decrease them by %33
4 - Talking about The Mercenaries, its a good thing you are working on this mode, but Im sure most of the followers ( including me ) would like to try the Campaign instead. Moreover, functional Upgrades ( Whore Points and stuff )
I would make a list of more ideas but dont wanna bother you with these stuff, and I just wanna say. Mind blowing work you got here. Very good job, we are all following you mate, keep up the good work.
@VaeVictus
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't really reply on the blog anymore, but in answer to a few of your points:
1 - The current zombie is the way it is because I was receiving more complaints about having gore than without. When I tried to match the new enlarged sprites to the gore detail of the old ones I had, a lot of people were turned off :(
4 - I'm waiting on the map of Montbury. That and the current memory usage problem are the main delay in implementing the first leg of the campaign.
@Anon
There should be enough sprites for a running Cerberus with one sex scene, although ZFied is tweaking with the sexual grapple percentage code. There's more damage grapples than there ought to be. :(
Hmm. Perhaps add some small-medium sized cuts with bloodstains to the zombies? That way they're not solid green, but at the same time not being super gorey. If that still turns people off... Why are they playing a zombie sex game ;D
ReplyDeleteWhen do you think the Game will be completely finished? Or at least the mercenary with new characters?
ReplyDeleteBy the way: Great Game
Found a glitch in that falling off the cliff in campaign mode causes a black screen where nothing happens.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it is intentional or not, but it is possible to get more points in the shop by purchasing mercenaries and saying no when the game asks you if you want to save your purchase.
ReplyDeleteI can post the details if you want.
DeleteGrind doesn't seem to be working exactly as you laid out in your brief description above.
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to 1) make the grapple end sooner, 2) award extra points and 3) also increase the chance of the zombie hitting you with more than one load, correct?
After extensive testing on those two poor souls who man the "knife" trainging arena with the help of some cheats I worked far too hard to unlock I have come to the following conclusions.
Well on the first count I honestly can't tell. It doesn't seem to speed the overall process up too much. If it's shaving any time off its maybe 25% which isn't really all that much in the grand scheme of things, given how long the wind down goes.
On the second it doesn't seem to be working. I gain 5 points from submitting and grinding seems to do nothing to this amount. It's exactly the same count whether I mash keys frantically or just let go. Not submitting yields 1, while escaping in the second phase also yields 1. The rear grapple also yields 5 on submission leading me to believe that the grinding isn't modifying this element.
On the third... well it’s working. Just not quite in the way I'd like I guess. Just from observing I'd guess that after you grind it's around a 80-90% chance of multiple loads occurring, each seeming to carry 8-9% infection. After that it seems entirely random exactly how many times the zombie unloads.
Now... it's probably not my place to say, but I think there's a wasted opportunity here.
Far as I can tell the current decision on this is branched. There's a chance of either single or multiple, followed by a random chance of 2-4 if multiple, 2 and 3 seeming to have repeated options with screen shake effect.
My idea for the situation is, if the player is going the whore route,(at this point, most probably are) they are going to be looking for a way to earn points fast. So set it up so grinding raises not only the chance of multiple loads, but also increases the odds of 3 and 4 occuring, quite heavily. Ideally, players abusing the grind system will be able to get 4 with some regularity. I understand that's supposed to be a bad thing for Rebecca, it does raise the infection bar by a full 33%. The pay-off for this would be in points earned for co-operating. Your upgrade system is in flux, but if you're awarding a base of 5 for submission, then perhaps an additional 1.25 for every white flash, giving a maximum of 10? The figures aren't exactly important to this concept, the point is if the player is dead set on "grinding" their whore points up as fast as possible, it gives them an option to do so. The problem with this is the infection figures don't exactly match up. They could be adjusted slightly, with each consecutive load giving slightly reduced virulence. After all, after a large amount of infectious material is present, there's only so much more risk that multiplying that exposure will add.
Well that's one idea anyway. All inspired by the fact I find it obscenely satisfying when the screen gives the 4 flashes, it makes me feel (completely illogically) like I've accomplished something. At the very least, please consider giving us an option to earn or force this eventuality, rather than just relying on chance.
On some other notes, I can't play mercenaries mode twice without first closing the game and reopening it in-between. Otherwise the game freezes and it takes quite a while for task manager to close it.
DeleteMercenaries is a lot of fun. My one complaint is the invisible wall on the right-hand side. Marking that one with a barricade as well would make it less frustrating when you see that ammo sitting just on the other side and are unable to get to it.
The stamina stat feels a bit worthless at the moment; nothing negative seems to happen when I run out.
One last thing bothering me. The progression in standing sprites from clothed to naked goes a bit wonky. In the later stages, Rebecca seems very concerned with preserving her modesty, to the point of (dangerously) covering herself with her arms when she's left in just her panties. Then inexplicably, she just stops caring when she loses her last item of clothing, reverting to her relaxed combat stance. I found this a bit jarring. On the list of problems you have though, stick that one somewhere as near the bottom as you can.
There is one thing I can think of that I’d like to see in the future. I guess it's on your eventual to do list, but perhaps have a bit of residual mess show up on Rebecca's sprite after a while. That does seem like a lot of effort for a very minor graphical gain though so it's probably not something you'll be pursuing for a long time. Still it's something I am interested in seeing eventually and I figure it might be worth mentioning.
What remains to be said is a sincere and earnest thank you to the whole team for all that you've done so far. This game is awesome. It looks to get even more so in the future. Thank you for all your efforts.
You can't make everyone happy, i just want to see the game in its entirely with zombie dogs/lickers/zombies and such.
ReplyDeleteafter it seems like a year since an update all we get is an animation update? Wow this wait was so not worth it.
ReplyDeletesincerely, I waited six months for an update like this.
ReplyDeletean "demo" of the "demo". the large sprites were bad (in my opinion), it seems that this dismounting. I was very saddened by this disappointment.
remembering, I'm not being rude and I'm not being uneducated, I just said what i think ... so do not come with profanity and insults
ReplyDeleteYou should check your topic in legendofkrystal forums some girl gave pretty good suggestions for positions.
ReplyDeleteJust discovered this game, I must say It has a lot of potential.
ReplyDeleteI only hope it will not take too much time to be (even partially) completed, or worse I hope it will not be abandoned like many similar projects.
Just two questions out of curiosity:
- How many "sex anymations" are in there actually? I counted three.
- Will there be Jill V.? :)
- Will there be bosses?
- Will there be dialogues and eventually choices and eventually sex choices with other characters? :)
How about you do some researcher before asking straight away? For example half of your questions are answered already in this thread.
ReplyDeleteAre there any news about next release ?
ReplyDeleteAny Updates in the near future?
ReplyDeleteif u post an update every 6 monthes like this one, the game will be finished in... 50 years?
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed the new demo. The new sprites were well done imo and its a start. I'd say keep up the good work and looking forward to future ver.. Supporting you :)
ReplyDeletei can play the game , it says "failed to initialize drawing surfaces.please check that your graphics card meets the minimum requirements and your drivers are up-to-date.if your graphics card has little memory , try switching your computer to a lower resolution." , so what i have to do now , cuz i really wanna play this game , so someone , pls help!!
ReplyDeletei cant play the game *
DeleteIt clearly says what you need to do. Get a new Graphic card because yours must be shit if you cant run a game like this one.
Deletei finished max payne 3 without any problem so my graphic card is good enough ,but i think there is something i have to do to run this game but i dunno what i have to do , so , what have to do?
Deletedo i need any program to run this game?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThe game is vreat and I can play perfectly, BUT, there is one siingle problem. When I open the game and put the mercenaries, it works just fine, but I always get a D and only 50 freakin' points; and when I want to play it right after I play the frist time, the screen says 'loading' all the time and doesn't work, and I can't even close the game. This is a bad problem for my computer and I would really need advise on this. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFirst off every time I try to get past the first two zombies. I can kill them and have sex with them but do nothing else except commit suicide by jumping off the edge of the map.
ReplyDeleteSecond a great downloading site is deposit files or http://narod.yandex.ru/ (This site is russian but you can use google translate. Also no US laws cuz its cross states)
Lol thats his "Big update". The one we being waiting for since September 2011. And no Deposit file is not a good site. It is the same as rapidshare same speed, just with more ads and time wasting. A great website is mediafire. No waiting and you can download your file 10x faster than deposit and rapid.
Deletecome on guys , seriously , help , how can i make the game work for me, help pls !!
ReplyDeleteThis is the wrong website to ask for technical support about your pc.
Deleteim tellin u again Mr.T , i dont need technical support , i wanna know if i need any program to work this game , cuz this is the site of game , i just finished Max Payne 3 without any problem , so i think my graphic card good enough , but maybe i need to install a program to run the game , or maybe i need to do some setting up to work the game , i dunno , so i think this is the best site to ask help cuz i think developer of the game is the best person to ask questions about game
ReplyDeleteIm running on a low spec PC and the game works fine. Its all about extract and run the ResiGameRESIZE.exe. You can try updating your drivers. I remember I had a black screen problem with Dead Island but after updating my VGA problem solved. You can also try adjusting the settings of your graphic card or updating your directx. My Specs are:
DeleteWindows 7 64-bit
4GB DDR2 Ram
Core 2 duo 2.00 GHZ
Mobile Intel 4 Series Chipset Family (VGA)
Resolution: 1280 x 800
This is your first time telling me about this. Lol and your asking for technical support. Your asking for information about a problem. Oh and if you want to ask for help from the creators of this game, why don't you email them?
Deleteagentmax , thanx for ur reply , i tried it but not workin my graphic card is GeForce GTS 250M i really dont know what i have to do , i looked for email adress of the developer of the game but there is no email adress anybody have the email adress of the developer?
DeletePlease post any news or updates i really want to see what you are working on, if you arent, at least tell me what are you planning to do.
ReplyDeleteI know this is a silly question, but how exactly to I unlock merc mode? Is it at the main menu?
ReplyDeleteIt's in extras
DeleteYou guys still alive?
ReplyDeleteits over?

How's it going with updates? Im checking every few days or so to see if there is something new
ReplyDeleteHmm nothing so far I see... Sad =/
ReplyDeletegive us some new Updates pls :(
ReplyDeletesorry, but I have a problem when I want to play the game ...
ReplyDeletewhen I run the application loading bar appears and then when you open the game window is opened without image ... Black only ... but if I press z the game starts passing the screens as if playing normally, but I still see the black screen (only hear the sound and effects).
Can someone help me with the problem .. I'm using windows 7 x64. Try running it in compatibility mode and administrator mode, but still the same ...
I hope you can help me, because I have wanted to play it.
PS: The only way I managed the game show me screenshots of the game is when I press ctrl + alt + sup to open the task manager and every time I open it throws me a screenshot of the game, but only that.
