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

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

This might take a few months 😅 #gaming #gamedev . Fun challenge tho

I swear if these changes suddenly make multiplayer performance actually performant that'd be so cool.

Wow, that looked like a lovely location! Thanks for sharing this. I've not been to Vienna, but is that just how most large buildings there are 😅?

I definitely relate to the nervs of having people playing/trying something you're working on. But good job on getting out there!

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.

A fair amount of work ahead, but fingers crossed it's actually super easy and I get to go to bed early more often 😂

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

Heya, I have some fun news! (which I should probably post on my main feed) youtu.be/BTRBh7nD4Sk

But I'm gonna try and see if I can make that zombie app real 👍🏿, it'll probably take me awhile but this video covers the first step.

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!

Awesome!

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

The Multiplayer Battle Royale Prototype is real! - www.youtube.com/@BenjiBlackstone

It's interesting, when I started YouTube a year ago I never thought that I'd be making real-life game prototypes. I thought I'd just be making funny videos 😅

So I don't really know what's coming next 😂

But I'll keep the idea of improving the safety of the zombie game in mind 👍🏿

Small update on the real-life multiplayer battle royale prototype #gaming #gamedev

ZRX: Zombies Run + Marvel Move – Apps on Google Play Epic Fitness Adventures

Although, I can also suggest this app Zombies Run, if you haven't heard of it.

It's want inspired RLZombie, though it's much more novel-ish than interactive game. But that makes it waaaaay safer than my prototype since you don't have to look at the screen.

Hello! And thanks for the compliments!

Apologies if I misled you, most of my projects are prototypes and things I was trying out for fun.

Unfortunately because of the dangers (kids hit by cars), which I haven't figured out yet, I'd hadn't planned to release these ones publicly.

Ok, I've been afk awhile. But the whole next episode has been filmed! All that's left it a bit of scripting and editing the video together.

Dang multiplayer games are really difficult, I may have to do another mini-video.

I kinda wonder what a frag montage would look like with this #gaming #gamedev

How to build a real-time multiplayer game with Flutter Flame Build a real-time multiplayer game using Flutter, Flame, and Supabase realtime.

So I'm looking at different articles about mobile multiplayer and stumbled across this one.

What I found interesting is that in their implementation they only updated the server with player health and position, not the bullets. The clients seem to handle those.

It's looking like I'm gonna have to go back to using websockets for the multiplayer. It's gonna be really weird trying to get this working, but I'm hoping I can take some of the experience from last time.

Oh I see!

Ok, now I understand, this is even more impressive!

Since you're using this to try to make a chat app, do you think it could even be used to like do a chess/checkers game across phones, but without needing a server?

That would be pretty interesting.

Oh that seems interesting!

As someone who understands nothing about this, is this the normal way of trying to create a chat app? Or, is the way you're doing it quite different?

If so, is it more for the challenge or is there a specific reason you wanted to do it this way?

Ok, so maybe it is a bit dangerous #gaming #gamedev
