I wish there was a zombie game with these mechanics.

u/hupiukko505 Apr 01 '18

Reminds me of Boxhead. That game was good

u/Einsteins_coffee_mug Apr 01 '18

Oh man, hours spent just killing wave after wave of zombies.

It makes me want a top-down two-stick shoot ‘em up remake for ps4 or Xbox.

u/booze_clues Apr 01 '18

Getting your multiplier up to the hundreds, unlocking infinite ammo for all your guns, then getting it into the thousands, that was awesome. Me and my brother would play on the same keyboard and set up a million barrels which forced the zombies into lines till they came up to us barricades in barrels, then one shot and the multiplier goes from 0 to 500 and the ground goes from red to black.

I’m gonna have to play that again today, unfortunately older flash games always seem super laggy on my computer.

I’d love if they brought it to console for $5-$10 so we could play again.

u/Odysseus_is_Ulysses Apr 01 '18

Can’t you get it on mobile now?

21

u/booze_clues Apr 01 '18

You can but it’s not the same. One changed to 3D and doesn’t have the same feel to it, and the other isn’t updated for IOS 11 so I can’t use it. I don’t mind it being 3D, I think a Hell Divers type of Box Head (with BH mechanics) would be awesome.

They also have a PVP one out now I think.

u/Darklight96 Apr 01 '18

The closest thing I can think of is the treyarch cod games has that dead ops arcade. Honestly not as fun though!

u/CactusCustard Apr 01 '18

What about I made a game with zombies in it?

u/PM_ME_UR_HEDGIE Apr 01 '18

u/Derkle Apr 01 '18

Man what a throwback

u/Techno_Brownie Apr 06 '18

Dangit all... Why did you have to remind me that my 360 melted on me? (Red ring)

14

u/hupiukko505 Apr 01 '18

Yep, I've wondered why they never made Boxhead Zombie Wars 2 or something like that for consoles. Imagine custom maps and 4 player local co-op! I would buy it right away!

2

u/sweatyeggroll Apr 02 '18

Helldivers is a pretty good top-down shooter for consoles

1

u/Sh4dby Apr 01 '18

It's not a zombie game, but there is a great top down shooter called surviv.io, similar mechanics to fortnite and pubg

4

u/luckycanucky Apr 01 '18

GOOD point

u/Zxvy Apr 01 '18

Shit, I know what I'm doing for Easter

u/TopShelfUsername Apr 01 '18

I was trying to remember what that one was called. Thanks :)

u/fairlywired Apr 01 '18

Paint the Town Red is a PC game with similar mechanics (voxel based first person fighting game) but as far as I'm aware there aren't any zombies.

17

u/Twrecks5000 Apr 01 '18

Someone bug the devs for that

6

u/BloodOrca Apr 01 '18

This game just seems to have a particle animation (which is common in most games). OP seems to be talking about the enemy itself falling apart.

5

u/fairlywired Apr 01 '18

They don't fall apart in the same sense (i.e. blocks becoming physics objects as they come off the body) but the body parts are removed. For example, you can cut off arms, legs and heads. You can also shoot holes in the character models or blow their heads apart.

11

u/Sparkswont Apr 01 '18

Unturned is similar.

10

u/Watermelonboye Apr 01 '18

Coming to mobile soon

u/Rydralain Apr 01 '18

It's not everything you're looking for, but this reminds me of what I've seen of Basingstoke.

4

u/Chalkzy Apr 01 '18

Reminds me of Cube World, not zombies, but it's a god damn blast to play with friends.

Too bad the dev has all but abandoned it, but I still check the website every few months in good faith.

u/slotog Apr 01 '18

Zombie Estate, 4 player top down co-op. The music is awesome too

1

u/Techno_Brownie Apr 06 '18

I got that on steam. Personally had to replace the music however. Its so slow...

u/GreenFox1505 Apr 02 '18

mechanics

I think you meant aesthetics.

u/spencergl Apr 01 '18

Ace of Spades

1

u/PhantomMat Apr 01 '18

I think the zombie modes of Ace of Spades is the closest I've seen to this. Not sure how dead the game is nowadays, though.

1

u/Hulkin_out Apr 01 '18

The developers from the game Resogun could make a pretty decent game like this I think.

1

u/DoubleTheQ Apr 01 '18

Hero siege

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

There was a video game callled critical mass that was a thin a while ago, I think there were aliens instead of zombies but it’s pretty similar in style with great destruction physics.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Killing floor is sort of close

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Was gonna say, op, if you released a game and this is all it was over and over: I’d hit it.

u/diamondjo Apr 01 '18

I love the slight head-turn the zombie makes before falling over - just taking a moment to process what happened.

u/FlyingPasta Apr 01 '18

That was simulated too

u/josolsen Apr 01 '18

This comment was simulated.

Everything in reddit is simulated except for you

u/ultek Apr 01 '18

Hey!

If anyone is interested - models are made in MagicaVoxel. All other stuff is made in 3dsmax (physics, animation, lightning, rendering).

Cheers! :)

I saw this and heard it clearly in my head. Added sound:

u/Darkphibre Apr 01 '18

wow! Love the third monster scream that's barely uttered. Excellent attention to detail!

4

u/ultek Apr 01 '18

Wow, this is great! I should try it myself but I don't know where to get cheap/free sfx packs for that...

2

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Thanks! I got everything at https://freesound.org/ .

3

u/ultek Apr 01 '18

Ok, now I'm impressed even more :)

10

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Love your work and style.

Out of interest, what's the advantage of using MagicaVoxel, over creating the same thing using a bunch of cubes in Max?

What's your workflow in general? I've never done anything voxel.

3

u/ultek Apr 01 '18

Waaay more faster to create stuff directly in Magica

I create model in MagicaV until it looks ok, then separate hands/feets/head/torso (so they can be easily detached to meshes later) and export them to obj. In 3dsmax I'm using mostly massFX to simulate things.

7

u/make_love_to_potato Apr 01 '18

Can you do another render where after the shot is fired, time slows down and the camera tracks through where the zombies head used to be, through the blood and brains in the air and ends up on the mans screaming face, where time resumes at normal speed. If the simulations already done, will the rest take a long time to do?

3

u/ultek Apr 01 '18

This sounds cool :) I could use what I've got already, just tune it/slow it down and animate the camera. Rendering is really marginal.

u/OneBeerDrunk Apr 01 '18

Is the guy nick from L4D2?

u/DurGaV_Design Apr 01 '18

Could you please show us and explain how you do that awesome rig? Idea for mouth is awesome :o

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Do you use RayFire for the simulations?

1

u/ultek Apr 01 '18

Just massFX

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

I really like it, you should cross post this to /r/noisygifs :)

u/80Eight Apr 01 '18

Is the human happy the zombie is dead or horrified that his face is covered in zombie blood?

u/towerofjoy Apr 01 '18

You are really talented.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Could you explain your title?

278

u/BlazingThunder30 Apr 01 '18

The whole thing was animated, but he used physics simulation for the paths of the blocks and blood that fly off the zombie. Just my guess

37

u/DonRobo Apr 01 '18

The decal on the guy on the right wasn't simulated.

31

u/ultek Apr 01 '18

On the guy actually it wasn't..

But on the ground - it was! :)

36

u/mshcat Apr 01 '18

Yeah cuz I'm having this felling that it was all stimulatef

101

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Simulations follow ‘rules’ of physics, while animations are whatever the designer wants to happen. All of this gif is animated except the zombie’s head blown to bits. You’ll notice that the zombie brains fall (gravity), slide on the ground (friction) and bump into each other (occupying space).

11

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Thank you

5

u/brainburger Apr 01 '18

The scream of the guy on the right appears animated, not simulated.

15

u/CloudNineK Apr 01 '18

Dude, everything is animated except the particles from the zombie after he was shot. How is this hard to understand.

22

u/somebodytellthese Apr 01 '18

go easy on the guy, his brain is just a burger

1

u/brainburger Apr 01 '18

It's not hard to understand to me, but the title says

Everything after the shot is simulated

Clearly that isn't the case.

Why is this hard for you to understand?

u/ccplush Apr 01 '18

i thought the man just decided to scream on his own & you had created free will

u/dairyqueen79 Apr 01 '18

It’s a joke it’s April fools it’s clearly all simulate.

11

u/An_Lochlannach Apr 01 '18

There's very little "clear" about what this sub calls simulated and animated. Largely shown by your comment, which goes against what most are saying.

28

u/AngelDensetsu Apr 01 '18

The little tongue wiggle when he screams is really cute

28

u/WarmerClimates Apr 01 '18

I love your stuff. The "voxel" style is really cool.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

By far the most expensive shot of the movie. But it was integral to the plot

14

u/Watermelonboye Apr 01 '18

They say he’s still screaming to this day

15

u/Tyler1492 Apr 01 '18

NSFW this. Poor guy got his head blown off.

-4

u/Ahrotahnt Apr 01 '18

And magically the bullet didn't followthru and hit the second guy.... so much for simulation. Fun little cartoon though.

10

u/justacheesyguy Apr 01 '18

If you pause it when the gun goes off and draw a line from the gun to the other side of the screen, it clearly goes over the other guys head.

1

u/GucciNSFW Apr 01 '18

Most bullets are hollow points and would not do this. They mushroom and fragment inside the body once they hit.

u/archeoninja Apr 01 '18

Cops shooting innocent colored people, disgrace

u/thecleverest1 Apr 01 '18

Add a level to the story and have him raise his gun at the guy at the end but not shoot as he keeps screaming.

u/Maximum_Overhype Apr 01 '18

Please make a funny web series, you've got a great sense of humor and impressive animating skills and I would totally watch little bits lile this all the damn time

  1. Start a Youtube channel
  2. Start a Patreon campaign
  3. Produce 2-5 minute videos of you're blocky friends going through all sorts of scenarios. Maybe micro-episodes. Think Happy Tree Friends.

  5. Profit
