A Sabriel Fangame

Zombies moving toward life in an attempt to unbanish themselves.

I see no reason to keep secrets on this blog. Basically the game architecture involves hotspots of death auras, kind of like in the book, that also function as zombie spawners. These hotspots draw Sabriel into a parallel level, the first gate. Inside the first gate one will encounter zombies that have been defeated in Life. These zombies can be driven back to the second gate, and the Lesser Dead you encounter in this level are too weak to return from the Second Gate. Then again, at this point so is the player, so in the demo you can't go to the second gate without dying.

I've been working on the zombie queue snd banishment and making the queue persist between levels so it's referenceble to make defeated zombies spawn in Death.

As you can see a previous lantern running animation looked like absolute crap so one of the things I've been working on was to redo this animation; since no free ones were available I had to do it myself. That was the first place I discovered the possible corruption since I wasn't able to access the sequencer directly in the animation editor. Now since I'm a noob I'm always suspicious that I'm doing something wrong rather than there being something wrong with Unreal, but I did get repeatable engine crashes on attempting to restore layout defaults.

Eventually I just edited the animation in the main viewer.
