Demo:
The demo is coming very soon, I just need to get my XP working again so I can add a few more things and get it ready.

This game will see an official release on both physical copies and digital copies. Once it reaches beta stages, I will be seeking an exclusive group of people for testing. A fullsize arcade machine is also in the works, multiples may be made if the first one is a hit.

I cannot say much about the game as of yet, but I would want the graphics to be a little less... simple. Even though the game is meant to be retro, I still think that the visuals could use a little upgrade, though it may be asking a little too much.

My thoughts exactly, seriously.

Except I must go one further and say that I LOVE YOUR CONCEPT ART!!! It's beautifully done, the details are perfect for a comic book like feel. I only wish I had a fraction of your art skills! DANG!

Nice. Probably pretty expensive though, right?

(his personal project/web comic can be found here: http://zombenstrikes.com/)

As for the arcade machine, it's probably going to cost a total of about $100, maybe $150. Going to be built by hand so that'll cut the costs, but take awhile.
