Actually, I didn't made up anything about that. I do remember now that I get it from the Fun Pimps interview with Guns, Nerds and Steel where they said that they had hired a team of external dev to work on the console version. So those are probably not counted into their staff. And about that...

It wasn't clear if they were talking about their staff working on A21 or if it was for the whole studio. Any console release would probably need a dedicated team working on specific parts for integration with Microsoft and Sony framework. Of course, many shared ressources can be used for other...

3. Perks At first, pick your main mêlée weapon and use all your early points into it to increase it as fast as possible, to at least level 3. Your life depends on you being strong enough at smashing zombies with mêlée. The speed of stamina recovery will improve with each point added, and you...

2. Trader As a general rule, you'll have to set up your initial base as close to the first given forest biome trader as possible because you'll go back there every time a quest is completed. But Navezgane is not probably the best first world to play: trader Joel is in the middle of nowhere and...

An answer to a few of your questions 1. Hordes: There is no special (big) reward for surviving a horde night, only the satisfaction to do it, and yes, it's becoming harder and harder the more your game stage is increasing and it's taxing time, ressources and ammo. In fact, it' kinda the main...

During A21 Dev stream, they mentioned a staff currently over 60 people and I would guess that this figure doesn't include those people working on side projects like the console version and the secret brand new game. There is so many facets of the game that still need a good deal of polishing...

Of course we won't have to buy this game again after it went Gold... Hence, TFP perfectly know that: we already bought it and we won't pay again (the vast majority of us), even to support them out of sheer love. That's the point. Because we are not going to buy the Gold version again, we'll...

I have overestimated you as, for one single moment, I thought you had catched the irony in this statement.

Well, I'm not confused at all. TFP certainly need to make money out of the game, like any other game studio, from the smallest to the largest or they will go belly up. Otherwise, they would be some kind of charity funded by unknown donnors, which they aren't ... or they would be spending...

I wish I'm wrong. By the way, I'm not paranoid as I'm absolutely positive they are out to get me. We don't know yet how the creative menu will look like when the game will be completed. A good benchmark would be to look at the next console release and we'll see what direction they are taking...

I've got no insider knowledge about that but what they are doing seems pretty obvious to me: step by step, they are making the game closer to be ready to catch as many whales as possible. Following behavourial psychology / looting game design 101, they will catch those big fat ones simply by...

Ok. I think that's my final word with you: I'm not complaining of "anything wrong", I'm just stating the difference of gameplay between the previous build and the current one for someone who (maybe) missed it. I wish you a very good sunny day :)

Then, thank you for sharing ;) But, you know, there was also this very large Savage Country POI right next to the Crack a Book POI that I've found. Guess what, did I go for the thousands of cloth rather than looting dozens of books? My point is that, with the previous build, I would have had...

Come on dude, go back to my initial post, then take a big oxygen breath instead of brainfarting all over the place ;) If you read me well, I was only pointing to Riamus the fact that the early game feels quite different in A21.1 compared to A21.0. And pointed it's due to loot tables and...

Maybe you didn't read the part where I'm also writting that I'm playing with all Traders removed from the World. Anyway, trader or not, one of my first task, day 1, is to collect five glue in order to craft a full set of padded armor (glue is dropping now, from garbage much more frequently than...
