This looks like it could be a lot of fun! Great work on it, man and congrats on releasing it.

Glad you guys like it!

The biggest issue right now is lack of players online so if you guys let others know about the game it could help.

@invector if you'd like to try the game I could send you a copy.

Also I might release my Invector PUN multiplayer framework eventually if I have time and if anyone is interested.

Just bought a copy on steam then, will give it a go when it installs!

edit: had a go, had to play by myself as there was no one on, which is a pity because even though it is a barebones game it actually was surprisingly satisfying. I'd love to see what happens when other players are involved, but I got a sense of false confidence in the first few minutes as I found enough weapons and ammo to fend off the few zombies, but then in the final zone I had to climb back up a mountainside and that's when I saw a huge horde! I had to kite them for a while till the helicopter came and dropped its ropes, but then I had to lead them on a wild goose chase so I could actually get to the helicopter! 

The weapon impact sounds and hit register icon actually really help the feel of the game, headshots weren't too hard to get but it felt satisfying when you hear the thudd. One thing I think needs work is the slight lean when you aim down sights, it's something I've seen in the shooter controller a bit and it just requires you to fiddle with the rotation of the weapon holder, it just feels a bit wonky when you're always on a slight lean.

Just keep in mind if I do release the multiplayer it would be sold on Asset Store, since it was a ton of work. And I would need to do some extra work on it to make it compatible with the official version of Invector.

Epic !!! nice work congrat ^^

xefier I just played the game and here are a few observations and my recommendation.

Maybe you released the game a little bit too soon, it's definitely playable but without an active community nobody will play and playing solo is well... boring because it was designed to be multiplayer.

A battle royale game is a really tough choice for today's market, especially if you're charging for the game when we have such good free options out there, perhaps doing a free with cosmetic paid items could be the best choice (I don't really play this kind of game, so I can't say for sure)

- Vaulting is really not a feature to advertise a game
- Few issues with the flashlight and water shader
- Player turns automatically when switching from First Person to Third Person
- Issues with Framerate are annoying, drops from 60 to 30 frequently even with post processing effects turned off
- Zombies are really generic, perhaps a morph system could be useful to create diversification
- Animations could use some work, but it's pretty acceptable for a beta release
- few issues with Swimming

+ HUD is pretty good
+ Cool Graphics

Overall as a Developer, I see a great job with customization and implementation of networking.
As a Gamer (which is the most demanding and criticizing public out there) it needs more to be published.

I can take some notes from you. Everyone as a designer can learn from this!
