much like one of those twitter user asked, "will the ground clutter on the actual road be made more 3d-ish?" Looks nice nonetheless,with all those WIP screenshots. I'm starting to feel more immersed in a way? Like the environment now feels more familiar. I don't know how to articulate it. lol

Sidewalks are new! First showed back in May:Sidewalks!

Ideally we want 3 tiers of all weapons, so Ak, assault rifle, m60.That's a lot of weapons! So please don't take this as "Waah, I want more," but is that right that there are 3 bows (primitive, wooden, compound) and 2 crossbows (original, compound)? Is this an exception to the 3-tier classification?
And on the flip side, why do we need an assault rifle when we have the AK-47? Does that fill a different niche, or are you caving to the masses that want more guns for the sake of more guns?

These are new sidewalks, we used to paint them on terrain but due to shader issues with the new splat map shader we decided to make 3d ones to free up texture space on the splat map for more important stuff, plus they look nicer.Sidewalks!

Cool. So will A18 have 3 tiers of crossbows, or are they considered 'extra' bows?
I think bow, crossbow and compound bow are not considered as tier, first Crossbow and Compound bow are two totally different weapon .. if I have to put I put Wooden Bow and Compound bow as one and crossbow as separate tech. [like hunter Rifles and assualt rifle]. It will be good to see what they add as tier here. Though if we don't get any upgrade/change in bow I am still happy with my compound bow.. Just that I love to see they been more effective for RAD zombie

A crossbow without the cross isn't a crossbow. A crossbow without the bow is a stick.
Why not have some sort of repeating crossbow as tier 3? It's about the only technological advancement available for the weapon other than materials, size and sights.
A huge, slow loading, crossbow would also be an idea. A heavy weapon version of the standard idea.

"Detritus's weapon of choice is a crossbow called the Piecemaker which he modified himself. It was originally a 2000-lb-draw siege crossbow firing a large iron rod. It is now a crossbow that fires a large bundle of ordinary wooden arrows at a significant fraction of local light speed. Generally anything it is fired at is disintegrated, along with anything else behind it, and finds good use in opening up an entrance to a building, as well as an exit, with the same shot."So a T4 crossbow would be called... a Pistol with silencer. "Pew Pew!" Wait! Thats not right: "Pew Pew!" Ok then.
What's a T5 crossbow? a Terminator with a Pistol? I'm here to help!

Madmole, I don't understand how can you be so chill when butthurts complain about you improving textures instead of fixing bugs and everything, when you said 100 times that it's your job to do that and that there are other people fixing bugs.
BTW, nice to hear the compound crossbow is coming in A18, I thought it will come way way later. Can't wait to see the model and animations. Daryl Dixon FTW!
