UZG Remastered on Steam UZG Remastered is a low-poly, single-player, and round-based zombie shooter. Progress through levels with increasingly harder enemies and upgrade yourself along the way.

I'm finally approaching one of my goals as developer and managed to get an ugly but functional Steam page going! So yeah, wishlist my game? pretty please?

This was a fun side quest for me. Targeting low-end hardware has definitely been a nice challenge. How would you guys have tackled this? And what do we think could be improved on?

6) After messing around with post-processing settings we get something that looks a fair bit better and conveys what I wanted to in the first place. SFX also does a lot of the heavy lifting in tying things together. This specific sound I believe I got in a humble bundle long ago.

5) It now looks pretty ugly. So how do we get around this? Easy, by abusing post-processing.

4) The actual setup is super simple. It's just a render texture on a quad playing the video from the video player component with a camera in front of it. We can enable all these game objects under one parent whenever necessary. However, we have a new problem.

3) After enabling super simple settings I compress the file down to 6mb.

2) After importing into Unity the default size is around 30mb. While this isn't bad, for me this is a no-no. I am targeting mobile devices, low-end computers, and web browsers. So I'd prefer to eat up the least amount of storage as possible.

1.5) This is what I ended up with. Do whatever you want this render if you don't wanna follow the tutorial.

1) Follow this Blender tutorial. I'm a programmer, not an artist, but I know my way around Blender enough to follow a tutorial and slightly change things around to my liking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPJP...

One of my favorite visual effects for my game was this neat teleporting sequence. How I did this isn't anything new or revolutionary, but it was still a fun little process. Let's go over how I did this and optimized it.

Oh! I didnโ€™t even see this! I only saw the unity asset. Iโ€™ll be looking at these and get the full version if these work great!

After finding your models I instantly liked them more. Iโ€™m just curious if the models are one skinned mesh renderer per zombie.

UZG Remastered (Public Beta) by nex UZG, a COD Zombies clone, fully remade from the ground up.

I will now plug my current game project. Itโ€™s a remake of one of my first games. Itโ€™s a small zombie shooter heavily influenced by classic COD zombies.
