Hello everyone!
Hope you are having a fantastic week! Because it's about to get better. We've brought you an update for The Zebra-Man game! It is version 2.5.3.
In this new version we fixed minor issues, such as the lighting of the 3D levels, removed the constant pop-up every time you eliminated an enemy and solved the problem of undefined NPC pushing.
Below you have the Patch Note of version 2.5.3:

Constant Stat Update (NPCs killed) now only shows when Achievement is Unlocked
Added linear damp to npcs so they are not pushed indefinitely
Remade the lighting batch of 3D levels

At Zerouno Games we are once again super scared to present you our next game: The Zebra-Man! It's a top-down action game with blood (a little too much) and a retro finish. But don't be scared, the story and mechanics are anything but retro. Will you join us?
Next February 21st we will launch our new Kickstarter funding campaign. With it we intend to release, what we consider, a game full of humor, action, unexpected plot twists, stealth and blood. Lots of blood.
Here you have a little bit of information about the game.
The Zebra-Man! is a hyper-charged action game with brutal fist fights and blood spilling in your wake.
Trapped in a secret facility at an undetermined time, you are a man without an identity. Confused and lost, you receive help from the mysterious Raccoon. He is determined that you kill Alexander Cooper and will only release you if you agree. Soon you're caught up intime travel, interdimensional portals and enemies who just want to see you torn into a million little pieces.
Story:
It's the early 70's, and some mad scientists have been doing nasty stuff to you for quite long. Somehow, a random cosplay guy with a gas mask gets into the lab you're being kept and offers himself to help you out.
After many traumas and engrams triggered by the experiments that took place on your body, getting rid of your humanity and sticking to your spirit animal may be your only way out. When a light ray is born in the darkness of despair, it's kill or be killed.

Kill Count. You'll see before the end of each level how many enemies you defeated.
Puzzles. Not the kind that gets you stuck! (Hopefully...)
Secrets and Easter Eggs in every single level. We want to encourage players to explore!
Adaptive Difficulty. The more times you die, the easier the level gets. Enemies turn slower, those with guns have less ammo, and more helpful items spawn.

If you were a backer of the Metal Tales Overkill game, you must have been aware of certain problems: delays in porting, shipping... That's over! The price (of not knowing how everything that comes after the KS campaign works) has already been paid. Anybody teach you in school how to manage all the things you have to do. You learn it the hard way. And that's so true that it hurts to learn it.
Starting today, you can help us get to the finish line. You can add the game right now to your Steam wishlist, you can ask Kickstarter to let you know when the campaign goes live, or you can also follow us on our social networks Twitter and Instagram to know what's going on day by day.

Hello to all,
Today, you will discover in this article, the new faction that will be available in v1. The Baltic Countries are coming in Hell of Men: Blood Brothers!
The Baltic Countries are represented by 3 skins in the game. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
Building:
The buildings have a "container" style, we find the same as for the other factions except for the infirmary which disappears.
The specificity of the tent is its low cost which can give an advantage at the beginning of the game, however it offers only 3 additional population slots. You will have to build more tents than the other factions to reach the maximum of 40 units.
Unit:
Barracks:

Rifleman = Germany/Russia.
Grenade launcher = all factions.
Rocket launcher = Poland/Russia.
Fusion launcher = all factions.
Operator = Poland/Belarus.
Machine gunner/Mastodon = + 1 damage / 0.1 rate of fire reduction.
Sniper/Sniper guillie = - 5 damage / increase rate of fire by +2.
Communication Center:

Sapper = Russia - short range.
Tank crew = Poland/Russia/Belarus.
Mortar = - 1 damage / increase movement speed by +0.3.
Laboratory:

UAV = all factions.
New Unit : Anti-infantry combat drone.
New Unit : Anti-tank combat drone.
New Unit : Healing Drone.
The anti-infantry combat drone is inspired by the Estonian Milsem drone with its anti-vehicle variant. It has the same attack stats as the Russian drone with a higher hit point count and reduced speed. Its anti-tank variant joins the French anti-tank drone but uses rockets.
The healing drone is a flying drone with the ability to heal infantry units.
Vehicle:
The Buggy is equal to the other factions with only 3 seats.
The Jeep is equipped with a grenade launcher and reduced armor –20 health points.
The Truck is equal to the German faction and unarmed.
The Armored Support is equal to that of the Polish faction.
The Light Tank is equal to that of the Polish faction with reinforced armor giving it +50 health points.
The Tank is equal to the other factions with a reinforced armor giving it +50 health points.

Hi, metalheads!
Metal Tales: Overkill is Zerouno Games' next Kickstarter and we are very excited to show you the game's soundtrack.
That's why the music of Metal Tales: Overkill is composed entirely by original and real bands (you can look for them, if you want) from the world of Metal.
All these bands have something in common, and it is that they preserve the original message of Metal, which cannot be lost by the god Kuk. That's why we invite you to know all the bands that will inject you energy to defeat any evil that faces you in Metal Tales: Overkill.
Dispite all of this, we want to add more bands with the original message of Metal music. Are you part of a band or do you know any? Tell us whatever it is. Whether it's through Steam, social networks or shouting it out loud. But use the hashtag #MetalTalesFestival, so we don't miss it.
If you like the game we are developing, don't hesitate to add this game to your wishlist. This will help us to give you more exciting content.
Thank you very much and see you next week!
