A downloadable game for Windows

Shadecore is a first person survival game. You appear in a forest infested by zombies. You have 4 types of guns at your disposal to fend off groups of enemies.

It's more of a prototype than an actual game. I was doodling around with infinite procedural generation and horde simulation on Godot game engine. There is no objective, you score points by killing enemies and can move freely in any direction.

Three cool features that I have in the current version:

  • Enemy instancing allows having hundreds and thousands of enemies moving on the screen at the same time without high CPU load;
  • The game world is an infinite grid of procedural generated regions that loads and unloads as you move;
  • Game data is saved dynamically and you can exit or Alt+F4 at any time and then later continue playing from the exact spot you left.
