PC Alpha 20 Dev Diary

By far the two things im most excited for in A20 are the new RWG features and the new model for the AK47. Also fun pimps this is just a suggestion but it would be cool if the pitch of the current AK loading sound was lowered a little bit cause it would sound cooler... at least in my opinion.

 
Is there still work being done on slowing down the loot progression? And decreasing the amount of ammo found? There’s hardly a need to craft it. Using a gun should be a last resort because of limited ammo in loot rather than a primary weapon because you don’t have to worry about ever running out of bullets. I’m hoping 7 days doesn’t slide over into the FPS category some day.
 

All that being said this is the most original game ever created and after over 2000 hours I find it just as fun as hour one. Keep up the great work.

 
@faatal I've got a couple of sexy questions about mods and settings:

1. Is there a storage mod for vehicles planned for a20 (or later)?

2. Are there any other mods planned (or designed) specifically for tools ? Like improved tool speed or more "wrenching" damage (scavenging).

3. A while ago you totally promised to look at the new game settings and improve things like days with 240,480 etc mins, more finer/varied range for things like horde settings, loot and xp amount (1000% YAY), airdrop frequency or even newer stuff regarding Zd hp and mystical things like that (extremely made-up feature, lol) BUT you also said that it needs UI changes. So.... the question is: are some of those "more option" tweaks going to make it into a20 or is it just the one and only "feral sense option" for now ?

 
What are the chances of getting some different map icons for the different shops? Like a book icon we can use to mark off crackabook, pistol icon for shotgun messiah, hammer icon for working stiff tools. We already have the tower icon to mark off the skyscrapers, so would be nice to have the others.

Similarly, it would be nice to have a quick menu to stamp a POI's "status", such as "looted", "check this out", "partially looted", etc. (only one status active at a time).  Either text or icons, I don't care, as long as I get an easier way to note my progress on the map.  :p

what about a Flamethrower?

Id love a flamethrower... and a tesla coil! could be the final upgrade for stun baton.

I think they already said they wont do it and they didnt want to add more gun trees.

Would love it though, flamer tree could be

  1. Spray can and lighter
  2. watergun with lighter
  3. proper flame thrower
  4. bigger flame thrower
tesla line could just be pipe baton, stun baton, tesla coil

a man can dream.

I feel like a flamethrower would fit in into the Demolition expert class 

 
I can't tell if this is bless or cursed!

They  hurt my lovely m60! how they could something like that! .... i must talk with them. Very serious  < 80' action movies vibs >.

But srly this shovel thing make me sick . junk revolver cool. Junk smg cool.  shotgun? cool but rly what the .... is wrong with MP5 AND M60. I had bad day and this make it even worst XD

 
How possible is it to see a functional water mechanic in the game? As in you cross a river, and it has real currents that will sweep you further down, or if zombies trail you, the river will sweep them away? If Mojang can do it, I KNOW you guys are capable, lol. Also, is there any thoughts on more variety of our weapon Optics/Scopes? Like, COD variety of attachments? Would be AMAZING with more gun modifications, especially the scopes, or alternate iron sights.

@faatal, sorry to bother you again with questions about UE. How would the game change if it was on UE5? And I'm not just talking about graphics, but for example about the speed and ease of use, other programming languages, other tools, and so on. How would this affect the content, gameplay, and release speed of new versions? ( And it's a pity that Epic didn't make MetaZombie😅 )

 
@faatal : Quick questions :  1. will be some new POI underground like mines , collapsed tunnel, new caves , buried body pits  etc?

2. will be new "outbreak"  props  like: dead soldiers ,  skeletons on desert , road sights about evac , posters , metal barriers , "furniture" barricades ( for example bed with chairs and cabinet on stairs) , drawing on walls , broken military jeep , destroyed plane,  concrete barricade on road etc?

It might be better or not. UE5 would not just make the game magically better.

The code would probably be c++ and might run a bit faster, but c# compilers have been making good improvements, so probably about the same.

Release speed would be really slow, since we would have to learn a whole lot of new tech and redo a ton of work. ;)

1 Don't know what they are planning.

2 Sure, but I doubt it will be your list.
