Thriller night

Wake up babe, new devlog just dropped!

(Yet another) update of the desert map

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I want the desert to be like. How do I make it "deserted" enough, but also not too empty and boring? On this iteration, I've tried to add some relief:

And this is what the map would look like if you flew the camera up a little higher:

So far I like this version better than any that came before, so I think I'll leave the map like this for now and move on to...

New map: the Graveyard

Lonely crypts surrounded by uneven rows of graves...

...some of which are empty!

Who gets out of them? Well, its none other than...

New monster: Zombie

Even though the warmth has left her body long ago, she's quite hot, isn't she? Butt beware, cause noone's gonna save you from this beast about to strike!

A couple of interesting* facts** about zombies:

• zombies are extremely slow;
• zombies are always hungry;
• zombie bites are dangerous and contagious;
• zombies have no instinct for self-preservation;
• zombies can regain their taste for life if you warm them up (for example, by giving them some hot liquid, if you know what I mean).

When encountering zombies, use your brain - because you, unlike them, have one!

* - in my not-so-humble opinion

** - these statements are facts in the NetShag universe and may not be true in our universe (assuming they are different universes)

New screen: settings

Finally, the settings button in the main menu will no longer be disabled! For now, there's only one setting - the volume level, but it's a very important setting xD. Anyway, the groundwork is laid, so other settings - gameplay, controls, maybe even graphics - can be added in the future.
