    That is such a cool idea. I could see having more of a journey game mode, where you're trying to get to an army base / the other coast / whatever, and each map is 7 days culminating in an increasingly powerful horde. Survive that, and you can travel to an exit point to move to the next map...

    Really. I was a QA Lead in the industry for years, and there's only so much you can do with a relatively small number of people testing the software professionally. Hundreds of thousands of players suddenly slamming it and doing things you simply never thought of (or things you did think of but...

    Thank you all so much for the info. I think what you just listed is very close to what we scrounged together, so that's promising.

    If you don't mind, what are the specs of the dedicated server? I just cobbled one together with some friends, but we haven't set it up yet. I have no real frame of reference for what kind of performance we should expect.

    Sorry if I missed mention of it, but weren't you supposed to be able to shoot through the holes in partially broken down doors for A20? Is it just for certain door types, or was the feature just not ready yet?

    Thanks for the info. I haven't had rain inside of any POI's for A19, but I will say it doesn't rain much in general, so I guess it's possible the two just haven't happened concurrently so I was just assuming it was fixed.

    I'm sorry if these have already been pointed out or this is the wrong spot for it, but a few things I've noticed watching Jawoodle's two videos: 1. Zombies on his horde night wouldn't climb ladders to get to him, so they just milled about and randomly swatted at stuff below him 2. Raining...

    Getting cloth is legit, though by my first horde night i usually have more than i ever use. Having to find bits of stripped down cloth here and there might be a nice change. As for paint, using chrysanthemum and oil on the chemistry station is generous enough that i don't bother with that fussy...

    One thing I just realized is that after the first couple of days in a new game, looting piles of clothes, dressers, hangers, clothing racks, etc. will provide the joy that book cases do, where instead of getting some garbage t-shirt i have a chance at an armor set piece.

    PC Alpha 19 Dev Diary

    Yesterday as I was driving around the wasteland on my bicycle desperate for food, I passed a series of small lakes and wondered about fishing for the first time. I think it would be a nice addition under the condition that canned food was slightly less abundant. Aside from this one early game...

    It's turning into this game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1167630/Teardown/. So definitely not in the same universe of ambition as a game like 7 Days, and probably not what I would have done with the tech, but it is at least a game now. But yeah when I saw that video months ago I had a...

    I'm a big fan of the more professional, AAA approach to your production process, so please don't let negativity on the forums compromise that approach. Regarding what you're saying here about PBR and lighting, I may have missed parts of this thread but is this something we should be expecting...

    Apologies if it has already been mentioned or this topic is closed, but have you considered a physical barrier, like a makeshift wall or fencing, implying the whole playable area is a giant quarantine zone managed by the military? Perhaps you get some warnings over a loud speaker if you get too...
