NOTE: For Mac only: On later versions of OS X, you have to use 'chmod +X' on the application binary to allow execution, and then choose to IGNORE the security check to get it to run! So please try (from a terminal window) 'chmod+x filename' , or 'chmod a+rx filename' where 'filename' is the zombie-hunter binary file, which should fix it!

- One of the most breathtaking features is the open-world. Set in various hunting grounds, theHunter Call of the Wild Mac OS X is by far the best game in his category. The stunning graphics and visual effects create an extraordinary hunting adventure.
- Jun 07, 2013 Mysteries of the Undead is rated 2.4 out of 5 by 49. Rated 5 out of 5 by Grumpuel from An underrated gem I almost did not buy this game because of a preponderance of negative reviews from credible reviewers, but I am certainly glad I did buy it, for it is truly outstanding.
Changes:
Talking pc mac os.

2. Improved Audio playing - prevent clipping / restricted maximum playing at once.
3. Minor changes to text display colours for 'Night Mode' to make them easier on the eye.
4. Not so personal space mac os. Minor change to 'Scoring panel' display to move 'zone' info to centre of screen.

*** Mac OS X Version - V1.1.5 sf (MAC OS X) *** Released Oct 13th 2020.
13/Oct/2020. This version is for 'Mac OS X 'only, I have tested it on the only Mac I have access to, an old mid 2010 iMac 21.5' with Intel 3.06 GHz Core i3, 4GB memory and ATI Radeon HD 4670 256mb graphics running High Sierra O/S.
Status: It works pretty much as intended, BUT the graphics on such an old machine are quite slow/jerky & don't render a few objects entirely correctly.
I imagine on newer desktops/laptops than this, it would work fine!
Let me know! :o)
*** NEWEST VERSION - V1.1.5 sf ***
PC Only Version! Released 12/Oct/2020.
Works fine without any graphics card (tested on 2011 Intel Core i5 with HD3000 graphics, even smoother on later i5 from 2013 too!).
Changes: has a tiny change for a missing collider on one object, only difference from the one released yesterday!
---------
V1.1.5 11/Oct/2020. NEW TITLE: Zombie Hunter (New Amsterdam).
------------------------------------------
Overview:
You have three lives (unlike the undead), and must replenish energy whilst defeating Zombies (5 shots on target to kill each one), and 50 zombies to kill to get to the next level, and must avoid blast damage from bomber drones (ironically deployed to help you) above!
There's a 'night mode' for the nocturnal players, complete with a handy automatic head spot-lamp to find your way about which can be switched on/off at will (for the super brave amongst you)!
VERSION V1.1.5 (released 11th Oct 2020) ***
V1.1.5, this has lots of new scenery, panning searchlights, spoken voices, 'Super Powerups' that grant you full health AND 500 points, these appear every 6 minutes or so (but you only have 2 minutes to collect them before they expire)!
New movement controller used for better response.
Now added a second area ('Unity Sky Shopping Plaza' - currently only a kiosk, and a defunct business, and some 'junk', this is to be updated over next few months' to a proper plaza, & a third area (currently blocked off for now at the end) which will be the inter-city airport (YES! More cities to come in future!).
'Sky Engines' keep the city in the air.
A 'Zone' indicator at the top left will display your current zone (and makes a 'BEEP' sound on changing from one zone to another), work out the zone boundaries for yourself to know exactly where they are!
The zone indicator is needed to help you find each 'Super Powerup' when it appears, and collect it before it expires! :o)
The high scores table allows you to save your 10 best scores, which are stored on your PC (in the registry) until deleted by you from within the 'High Scores' page.
Flamethrower 'shots' are now displayed as clips/shots, you start with 4 clips (of 25 shots each), and an 'auto reload' sequence takes place when all are used up (15 seconds reload time), so don't get attacked when a reload is taking place!
I may change this to a continuous flame while space bar held in a later version as a result of feedback from users.
If you die, you have a 5 second 'escape window' before current attackers start to hurt you again!
Enjoy, and see how far you can go, or pause it and have a break to recover! :o)
PLEASE consider donating if you have enjoyed playing the game, over 600 hrs work on it so far, and many more are planned!
Thank you!
p.s. Please spread the word, it would be great to have a few people playing this! :o)
Any feedback is welcome!
------------------------
V1.1.4 Added Nav Mesh and Smart Bomb fix.
--------
V1.1.3 Changed Zombie movement to use MoveTowards() function instead and modified speeds, seems to work much better now on my newer laptop!
-------
V1.1.2 Now using translate() for Zombies! This didn't work when tested by users so new version above should work now!
------
V1.1.1
Please use Version 1.1.1!!!!!
As a result of two players saying Zombies are running too fast, now changed slow speed (Press Number key '1' / Keypad 1) to only move at 1f speed to see if this helps, if not I'm out of ideas!
V1.1
Changes:
1. Now Updated in response to user feedback that Zombies were too fast on his machine, added option to change speed from Normal (3) setting, to Medium (2), Slow (1) using 1,2 and 3 number or keypad keys during play, no cheating though and slowing them down when you're getting attacked en masse lol!
2. Fixed score going below zero if you hadn't score anything at all.
3. Changed player position on restart back to original (although rotation to original 0,0,0 not fixed yet).
4. Increased brightness of Player headlamp up by 50%
5. Added Game Quit using escape key.
Enjoy!

Abstract
After the terror attacks of 9/11, zombie stories experienced an unprecedented boom, or for some critics, a renaissance. Fears of mass death, infiltration by the Other, and life before and after the apocalyptic moment were played out through zombie stories. The longevity of the boom also saw the zombie myth move into strange new places including Young Adult novels, resulting in what I refer to as the 'Gen Z zombie.'
Undead Hunter Mac Os Catalina
In his discussion of the sympathetic zombie, Kyle William Bishop mentions YA zombie texts including Carrie Ryan's The Forest of Hands and Teeth and Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies but groups them with other contemporary zombie story types, including the zombie comedy. He suggests that this kind of zombie offers a seductive escape from the pressures of modern life, but my survey of YA texts (including Warm Bodies, Daniel Waters's Generation Dead, and Darren Shan's Zom-B), suggests that the Gen Z zombie is more than empathetic—it is reflective of the target audience's experience.
These books are not part of the zombie renaissance, but a reaction to it. Many of these newer narratives are set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, where the triggering catastrophe is a part of history. The young protagonists (some of them zombies) find themselves facing a world of anxiety, distrust, and fear created by the generations that came before. The sort of character who would be a hero in a post-9/11 zombie story has their morality called into question in these YA texts. After all, the undead cannot help their physical state and the adults have become soulless and horrific by choice. Since monstrosity is displaced from the zombie and placed on older generations, adulthood becomes the new sickness that the young protagonists struggle to avoid.
