[Star Wars GAW] The Amnesia Effect (Zombies Gamemode)

Description
"I don't remember how we got here..."
You and a group of four other weirdos wake up in a cold and wet monument that you vaguely recall, but not until you realize you aren't alone. Put your differences aside and fight for your lives.

No really, we need play testers for our other huge projects (which we are in fact doing, promise):

https://discord.gg/qJHY65Yu

You can also see our projects' progress as we develop things... and talk to us, and fall in love, and other stuff.

Geo Der Untoten
This is a Galaxy at War Coop (though singleplayer is completely possible) zombies mission where you fight waves, earn money, buy weapons and perks, fight bosses, etc. All of the systems are inspired by "Nazi Zombies" or maybe even "PVZ Garden Warfare Ops" and abide by similar philosophy. To succeed you must take advantages, react skillfully, manage your units and inventories, and plan accordingly for each wave. Trial and error is inevitable and, a lot of times, you may just get unlucky and die after so much fun was just had mere seconds ago (I believe that's called a roguelike or something). It's really better experienced with as little knowledge as possible.

I wanted to test just how much could be done with default GAW assets in order to make something more unique and I think that this is a good proof at this stage.




Protagonists
Each character that you and your friends are given have slight stat alterations that may not be that noticeable in the midst of geonosian zombie carnage, but you may want to be aware of them:





UI and Aesthetics
This mod will also override your default GAW Menu and HUD with ones custom designed and made by me for this mod. If you want them to stay than just keep the mod installed (after) other things that affect this (such as GAW or my other mods with Menus/HUDS).
Pictures of which can be seen in the images and demo and just subscribe if you want to see everything.




The Mystery Gonk
The gonk droid gives you random weapons when you buy from it. They come empty and need ammo to be acquired for them as the gonk droid begins dispensing it's ammo. Because of this limitation, you have to pick up your given weapon and sit inside of the refill radius for more ammo. This also gives you a chance to get more ammunition for other units when needed. Copies can not buy their own things (that will make sense later).




Jawacola


There are perk machines around the arena that give you bonuses that I scripted for their associated fees. These are useful for later game and can give you the edge in early disasters. They play their own added music and sounds which are included. Your units also lose them upon going down so be sure to save up.

  • Staminup... minup... minup...
  • Bactanog
  • Who's Who
  • Quick Reviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive




Special Waves
These are boss waves that come after the wave pairs and are selected randomly. I would prefer you to just experience them as they come but if you don't like fun and surprises and you order vanilla ice cream with no toppings:

These bosses usually pay more than normal zombies and can be very difficult.


  • Geonosians
  • Order66
  • Vader's Trial
  • Wookie Ambush
  • Magma Imperials
  • Kota's Justice
  • Force Ghosts
  • Rancor


I may add more in the future and I actually would like suggestions.




Bonus Purchases
The Reinforcement Buttons Shop Section contains various tools to get you out of jams and such for their own prices they aren't worth really listing but they exist with some custom scripts for them.

There is also, sadly, only one bonus that you can "pick up" or earn by chance every time a zombie dies. Kaboom I may add one or more in the future.




Misc
There are also a few secret "achievements" that you can find throughout a run. I won't put any information as to those here, but they exist. ok, the thumbnail for one

Besides that, there are a lot of effects and lighting changes-that can be straining on your system if it is bad.
The enemy count can get quite high though the mission cleans itself regularly.
There are special wave effects--like three--that can happen during a wave after the first two.
There is a small tutorial in game.
The mission is intended to be played on heroic, but there is specific functionality in place for lower difficulties to make it easier.
Characters change their dialogue semi-dynamically.
The mission does end and it has a full ending, but you may have to play a few times to ever see.

Known Issues
  • There may be a big lag spike at the beginning right after the first cutscene ends. The game is loading and preparing about seven or eight variables really quick and in game this may cause a lag spike. That is the only time that (should) happen(s) and there is an autosave after.
  • Some things may not be balanced enough. I've played and completed this twice on heroic with pretty good gear so it is absolutely possible to complete. But, since this is a game based on chance, that can only be one of who know how many circumstances.
  • "I feel like I keep getting the same few weapons." Yeah I don't know. I have definitely gotten weapons from every pool of loot and I know that you can too. It may be just something with how GEM handles rng and seeds, but sometimes it feels as if it gravitates towards favorite numbers. Then again, people who have tested for me have not had any issue with this and I guess I may just be unlucky.

As always with MOWAS2, everything can potentially break horrifically and just die so if a serious problem occurs, don't hesitate to tell me.




Map by eledwar. Yeah not me, again, this time.

Fixed a bunch of problems, see the discussion, notes.:dmc5_gold_orb:
:excitebox:Also there's nine waves and a final boss after before the ending since it's been out for this long.
I'm glad everyone liked the mod anyway.

@EBT Welcome I would run somebody up the the cloning panel and the button would come up and sometimes it would work, but like you said in the description it takes more than one attempt, so on some of my tries it wouldn’t work.also again the waves would just stop coming after the special round, I tried nuking thinking maybe I didn’t kill everyone even tho all the enemies on the map we’re gone and still nothing, again can’t remember what wave specifically but around 5 to maybe 7.
EBT Welcome  [author] 29 Jun, 2023 @ 11:48pm 
@rango19 Thanks, should be fixed, if not, then I misspelled something. The cloning machine should work fine, just the button only appears when you are in front of the curved panel with an actual (not doppelganger) hero, specifically. I would like to know more about that problem if you remember.
Rango 29 Jun, 2023 @ 9:21pm 
on the special round with the walkers and stromtroopers my game would bug out and just stop sending waves (I think around waves 5 to 7 not sure which one). not sure why, also the cloning for your guys can also be buggy would not let me clone anyone. but its a really fun mission regardless. also does anyone know how many waves its suppose to be ?

Thanks @Panda, that means a lot.
