by

Ready ?
It’s thursday and people who can’t moving on usually post picture or something in their past with TBT tag (TBT is Throw Back Thursday), maybe so am I. I’m gonna tell about Orbiz in the past (but I don’t know if that day is thursday). That picture above is the old “Press Any Key” screen of Orbiz which will using a realistic concept like zombies game in this age before we decided to make it 80s and pixel art style like playstation one art style. Then we made a prototype, just about one month with using dummy assets or bought the asset on Unity Asset Store and hey, we won a local competition.

Okay, let me explain one by one. The first concept, character select, and boss. Maybe that will not very explained so much but you may scroll down the browser seriously.
1. The Concept

A little bit same with the now version, about a coop game which surviving against a waves of zombie. And the different is when the game started, all of the player not bring or use any weapon and they have to explore the world first, searching any weapon. And also, the weapon is only melee like baseball bat, axe, samurai and hammer, there aren’t fire weapon like handgun, shoutgun, or even matches. There are no spawners also, we just struggling against the waves of zombie (3 waves).
The First Wave of All
No health pack item but we can revive friend with holding one button. By the way, you must help your friend if he die. If you aren’t, then you are a bad guy baddass.
Hold jump to help (hey look, the GUI healthbar is upgraded)
2. Player Select


You can’t select different character and your friend become so envy. In the very older version, we made it fixed like a character with purple hair is player one, character with yellow hair is player two, and so on (honestly, it’s just one character but with different hair and skin color and it’s fair). There are no jump in the game but press jump means press button X (for playstattion controller) or press A (for XBOX controller).

3. The Boss
A simple boss called “Zombie Baby One More Time” (with britney’s song for the inspiration). We drop a baby of zombie but make very bigger like giant and the behaviour is just like the common zombie but we made the health more bigger. So it will be long to kill that zombie baby.



That’s all, the very older version of Orbiz. But if you wanna look deeply, just watch the video bellow (this is the cam version).
