Zead
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A high-speed zombie FPS focused on movement and reactions. Wave-based survival, sprinting zombies, slow motion and ragdoll physics.
This is my first game, made in 2015, preserved here as-is. I had no idea what I was doing—I built everything from scratch, including hand-coding the gun animations because I didn't know animation systems existed. I developed it on a low-spec laptop, so every inefficient algorithm announced itself as a frame-rate drop, which gave me an instinct for slow code that I still use, and the project landed me my first games-industry job.
P.S. These builds are over a decade old. I'm not sure if they'll still run. Kept for the historical record.
