Shadecore

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.

Recently I reworked the game from ground up and added a lot of tech features, so the current state can be described as a demo. There is no objective, you score points by killing enemies and can move freely in any direction.

Three main features that I added are GPU-instanced enemy animations, infinite and persistent world:

• 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 procedurally generated regions that load and unload 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.

I post updates on the game and share tools for Godot regularly on bluesky.
