It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally done enough work on Zafehouse 2’s second combat prototype to post a couple of screenshots. [More]
I’ve returned, thoroughly, from my overseas journey and am back on Zafehouse 2. Combat is the focus right now, the first prototype gone and the second one bubbling along nicely. My first task is to implement firing arcs for weapons and nailing the interface. Then I’ll be working on furniture placement and zombie attack AI. [More]

A game of Zafehouse 2 is broken up into three phases – scavenge, fortify and defend. During the scavenge phase, you’ll need to gather supplies, survivors and survey buildings to assess their ability to hold up against attack.

Finally, the defend phase will have you fending off waves of undead until the last walking corpse collapses at your feet, the victim of a well-placed bullet/machete/chainsaw wound. Today we’re going to take a quick look at the second of these phases – specifically the art of barricading. [More]
Survivors are the single most important tool you have in Zafehouse 2. It’s up to them to upgrade and barricade doors, raid buildings, place traps and search for others. As you can understand then, getting the right mix of professions in your band of stalwart defenders is critical to winning the game. [More]
