Happy New Year Y'all! Last month was the holidays so surely there's not too much we could've done right? Right? #gaming #gamedev #zombie

So it took about 1 hour to get all the building data of the UK, so the world should be fun. Still, very impressed with tools that are out there to get a whole bunch of mapping data

Real-Life Zombie Game - Multiplayer Test Number 2 #gaming #gamedev

Got slightly further with trying to figure out how to create my own maptile server. Honestly the first step is just getting this new map library working, if it does then the next would be getting the tiles

Trying to finish this before GTA VI, just for the bants

We've reached Day 60 in our quest to make a real-life zombie game! Still a long ways to go but November was a pretty packed month! Looking forward to the holidays 😅

This has been a pretty productive month in terms of development progress for the real-life zombie game, now i just gotta edit the full video together by next week 😅 #gaming #gamedev #zombie

This is the most un-spoilery photo I can post about what happened today, but I was able to test a new mode for the zombie game in the most unexpected of circumstances. Really excited for the new video in few weeks!

Testing out multiplayer took some time the past month, but I really don't see this game without it. #gaming #gamedev #indiedev

At a weird crossroads, so many routes to explore and they all seem like the correct ones.

I'm Making a Real Life Zombie Game - 28 Days Later, got a new video filled with updates and plans and other such stuff! I'm quite excited to see where this challenge leads 😅 #gaming #gamedev

60% of the way until the next vid

Speaking of Multiplayer we did get this far, so far #gaming #gamedev #zombie

The person I was meant to test multiplayer with today unfortunately couldn't make it, but thankfully I came up with a 'creative' solution
November 2, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Honestly, didn't even know if I was meant to be walking down here, but at least the game still seemed to work this far out
October 28, 2025 at 6:39 PM
This might take a few months 😅 #gaming #gamedev . Fun challenge tho
October 26, 2025 at 5:52 PM
I swear if these changes suddenly make multiplayer performance actually performant that'd be so cool.
October 26, 2025 at 9:22 AM
Got it working on IOS so that's fun, next goal is to see if I can host the mapping data in my own servers.
October 12, 2025 at 7:19 AM
A fair amount of work ahead, but fingers crossed it's actually super easy and I get to go to bed early more often 😂
October 9, 2025 at 7:49 AM
I'm gonna actually try and turn one of my prototypes into a real thing! The journey is gonna be quite tricky, but this video marks the first step. Have a beautiful day y'all! #gaming #gamedev

Currently planning out the architecture for the next project.

Seems a bit crazy for me to achieve, but I think the hardest part is just gonna be picking the one chocolate out of a number of different giant boxes and sending it.

New Video! (I had fun with this thumbnail 😂)
80 days later here we are!

Just had a look at the Playstore/Apple store processes to get something released and it does not seem easy...
