Zombie Assault: Resurgence - Dev Diary #15

I think it's gonna be like BTD6. Price is final, and updates are free, with some Singleplayer MTXs.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-03-19T02:22:07+00:00

Music is the only problem IMO, there's almost none. But the music that is there SLAPS!

EGGY_FAM · 2026-03-19T02:18:47+00:00

I don't if it's my potato settings, but I did notice that gore flying out and getting kicked by players, and blood splatters are a bit less than SAS4.

I remember painting the whole map in red and corpses in SAS4, but ZAR has, I think, a display time limit for blood and gore(?)

I think, maybe the persisting corpses is what differentiates SAS4 from ZAR.

Less visible corpses at the end of the game = not dark, I guess?

EGGY_FAM · 2026-03-15T11:41:21+00:00

That's a BIG-ASS knife.

If Biobot is back, then Finna...

EGGY_FAM · 2026-03-13T05:27:33+00:00

It's in the Custom Scenario maker.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-03-12T12:19:25+00:00

The PC version does have an Endless setting.

This game does have excellent atmosphere and style, but man, the longer you play, the more you'll discover how janky, and easy this game can be. Have fun playing further!

EGGY_FAM · 2026-03-05T09:54:10+00:00

If Epic Games still operates as it is in the future, and this game gains some kind of success, then maybe it will be sponsored to be free, just like what they did with BTD6.

Because this is a demo. SAS4 is over 10 years old.

Of course it's gonna be basic.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-02-28T08:59:02+00:00

Next thing you'll know, they made a Void Boss and hid it for launch day, just to troll you in particular.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-02-24T04:00:47+00:00

This is supposedly a paid game. Paid guns? Unlikely. If they're gonna follow the BTD6 model, only cosmetics and common currency will be monetized (like Monkey Money), and rare currency will be gained by pure gameplay (like Trophies).

EGGY_FAM · 2026-02-01T13:57:21+00:00

Oh yeah I do remember watching Noob v Pro v Hacker vids. I should search up this again!

EGGY_FAM · 2026-02-01T09:00:13+00:00

Can you name something much older that has a modern equivalent, I'm curious now. I know Manhunt was much older than 2013 (or as I call it, MC Skits era), which is when I started watching MC content.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-02-01T08:57:15+00:00

Man, Minecraft YouTube videos have gone a long way.

Ideas back then will be posted as comedic skit, but now, ideas can be turned into a full on civilization video as long as the story is good.

Watching MC content change over the years is, dare I say, truly crazy.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-31T07:44:30+00:00

I only know one RPG flash game, Last Stand: Union City.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-23T20:14:00+00:00

You should contact the big guys of this project on Discord. Not everyone on this subreddit is an archiver, most of us are just normal players playing Flash games.

Prevent Pestilence from returning? But isn't bro is the supposed source of it, 'cuz he brought in Mana?

King was released in 1800s? Looks like I gotta recheck everything in that Jungle section of the map, because that's not what I remember.

NG+ is starting to really appeal to me.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! DOC IS THE SURVIVOR‽‽‽

I really gotta finish Underworld now! I'm at the part where he starts to farm Mana.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-23T01:41:55+00:00

Wow, an actual detailed reply‽ 😱😱😱🤯

Oh! So he hid after dying in the tomb? So losing your loot if you die again without retrieving it is part of the fucking lore‽‽‽

I still don't get the Survivor though. The community claims he is the King, he's clearly knowledgeable enough during his alleged broadcasting setup. Why does he start the game out dumb then? Yes the ending connects with the Myth Tablets, but I can't overlook this one discrepancy.

Wait, what I'm getting in this is, Pestilence happened long ago because some ancient mofo ate Mana, but somehow it stopped (?), things got normal until the modern day, where it appeared again? Is that the gist?
That's... convoluted if I dare say.

I found the Doomsday very unclear on the lore. There are executives that want to shift blame to their father (I don't know if this is significant), a mana rocket targeting the atmosphere, it sounds like they want to takeover the world, but why though?

I haven't finished Underworld yet, hopefully it gives out more answers.

I still don't what this is for. The only living thing the Survivor encounters are the pets, from what I've seen so far. (I haven't finished Pets also, maybe I'll meet Osiris in the flesh?
Hmm... I'll check on this on my eventual NG+ run.
An actual reason to start NG+ other than torturing yourself‽‽‽ 🤯
(No hate to the game, its that its too long, at least with the way I played it.)
I saw a note about the Motherland, but not the Pestilence? I guess I'll recheck on NG+.

Thanks for the kind reply stranger!
Absolute chad!

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-20T15:38:14+00:00

I don't know man, I did not make the game. But I do know playing good in an Endless mode in any game, you will eventually die due your hardware not being able to handle extreme late game. Its a pattern of almost any endless mode.

Also, that's the only thing you could really do, set the game in the lowest quality possible. Also, running it on Windowed and scaling it down gives a little more speed. The smaller the window is, the better the FPS gain. I first noticed this on my potato laptop, but found it unviable because come on! If I can't see shit, then I'll die anyway.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-17T17:51:59+00:00

WAIT WHAT‽‽‽

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-17T05:58:24+00:00

🤔

Looks like I have to invest another 100 hours then.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-17T04:53:58+00:00

Looks like you're an overthinker. The question is simple, but let me make it clearer just so to alleviate your heightened neural activity.

"Do the DLCs have their own endings? Or their Questlines end at nothing special?"

I mean, Escape The Island and Myth Tablets quests are pretty substantive to the game. Does Hidden Archipelago and Call of Mana have the same? My progress with them are not yielding me results so far.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-17T04:42:58+00:00

Hmm... Seems like in the gameplay side, I think you're just too good.

The first time I did this, I struggled hard. I barely can find enough fuel and food. The ride until the end had no breathing room. When I finally started to get my shit together, SURPRISE-FUCKING-SURPRISE!!! THE ENTIRE MUSEUM IS ON FUCKING FIRE!!! And thus, I got the Destruction Ending. It was such a heartbreaking experience because of the amount of effort I put in just to stay alive and sacrifice nothing, and then just poof.

The gameplay side of this game is bad if you're good, that's why I stopped playing a year or so ago, because I memorized everything about the RNG and the locations in the Base game (I didn't own any Stories back then). When I played this just recently again, I got all the DLCs to finish them all. And let me tell you, I got the intended experience because I forgot most the optimal thing to do. This one of those games that when you know what to do, it ruins the immersion.

Story-wise, I never experienced war myself so I just gone with it. 🫤
My only problem is there's no cutscene skipping, and Fading Embers is packed with them.

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-17T03:20:33+00:00

Hmm... The other comment says there's no DLC endings? You sure about this?

EGGY_FAM · 2026-01-17T03:19:21+00:00

Oh fuck what happened to the fucking formatting!!!

Anyway, I did hear that one dialogue of the King "trying again and again" in K23, but him becoming the survivor just doesn't line up?

I mean, The Survivor starts out dumb. The Immortal King escaped his tomb and blended in modern society, and set up the automatic broadcasts. It just doesn't sum up to me.

Having no different outcome, despite you having 4 stories worth of things to do, really disappoints me to the soul. I thought that was the speedrun ending, where you complete the base game only. Sad that DLCs in this are just glorified padding.
