Vaccine19 v0.6
3-27-21- GAMEPLAY:
- Charged Shot ➡ When in normal play, clicking and holding the fire button initiates the gun to charge. When charged, release fire button to shoot a penetrating shot. Circumference of beam is a bit less than Stimulus Shot. Release fire button too early and a normal shot will occur.
- Headshots ➡ Normal shots to The Infecteds' head are now tracked in stats. A different physics sim is used when shots register to the head.
- GFX:
- Quality Settings ➡ Further refinements are now implemented. There are further distinctions between each setting, that should help with FPS and/or visual fidelity.
- Lighting ➡ New light emitters added to the game: Barrel explosions, Stimulus Shot and Charged Shot projectiles, gun charged indicator at gun muzzle.
- SFX:
- Gun Sounds ➡ New shot sounds for Charge Up, Charged Shot, and Stimulus Shot.
- UI:
- Leaderboards ➡ Leaderboards are now accessible from the Main Menu that display the top scores and also the player's position.
- After Action Report ➡ The player's stats for the current game played are displayed upon INFECTED status.
- BUG FIXES:
- Pausing ➡ After being infected (After Action Screen) is no longer possible.
- Pausing ➡ Pausing the game during normal play will actually set the game speed to ~0. This lets the player visually adjust FOV on the fly. If in a slo-mo mode, and pause is initiated, the game will pause to prevent game speed issues that were occurring.

- Vaccine19 v0.1
3-10-20- General Description:
- First Person Shooter for mobile shooting waves of zombies as they run at the player.
- Player is stationary and unable to move locations. Aiming the player's gun uses the gyro sensors on mobile devices for Pitch and Yaw. The mouse is used on PC.
- Game ends when Infection level reaches 100% from exposure to zombies at close proximity.
- Player goal is to reach a high score, which is tracked at the top of the screen.
- Gameplay:
- Aiming movement is restricted, making it easy to re-orientate the player's view using mobile (a phone user can easily have the phone comfortably orientated in any vertical position to play).
- While aiming, the gun will move at a different rate than the camera. Laser shots fired will not always be at the center of the screen because of this. The laser's orientation is perfectly in line with the barrel of the gun.
- Zombies spawn from red rings in the sky.
- Zombies initially run to a randomized location before running directly to the player. This helps spread out the Zombie waves and adds more challenge when shooting.
- TNT Barrels and boxes spawn from yellow rings in the sky. A barrel has a reduced chance of spawning compared to boxes.
- Every 20 kill score the player earns, a new ring appears. A yellow ring has a reduced chance of spawning.
- Shooting TNT Barrels kill all alive zombies in play and also initiates a SloMo / bullet-time effect for a few seconds.
- Zombies within close proximity of the player will accumulate Infection, displayed at the bottom of the screen. The infection rate is compounded when more than one zombie is within range.
- Infection level slowly reduces to zero when no zombies are within close proximity of the player.
- Optimizations:
- Lighting has been mostly optimized for mobile, but high-end mobile. There are only 2 lights in the map, and many materials are unlit and no objects cast shadows.
- Install footprint continues to be reduced as development continues.
