PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

Exactly. There is no story to say "The End" to so you decide upon your own end conditions. Mostly though the true endgame is finally reaching a point where you decide to start over and that will be different for each person.

For me, before I start a new game, it helps to make limits (Rules) for my character and if I want to role-play the new game or not.

Min-Maxing the game mechanics never works well with Role-playing, for me.

Role-Playing is not the optimal way to play, but if you can "Get into it", its the most fun by far!

Other rules are:

-Allowable places for a BM base.

-What kind of person is my new character. Once you have this in mind, Role-play is easy. If i decide my new character is already fit, like Fallout. Having up to 20 points for the starter mission works well, for me.

7 days to factorio!

FPS Factorio! Whoever makes that kind of game, has my vote for game of the year!

It already exists, it's called Satisfactory. xD

And it's super fun!

 

[Razorpony]

But it's on epic instead of steam so that may be why you haven't heard of it.

 

[TSRViper]

Yep, the only downside to that game. 7D2D with conveyor belts! That would be awesome

So what I'm reading is, of you are a good shot and hit the body, it's hard to retrieve them, but if you sick and miss a lot you can suck them up from the surrounding blocks.

Quite the opposite, you 'suck' them up from bodies, and have to precisely aim to retrieve from the ground/walls. It happens often at horde night that like with spitting cops the lag is so bad that I can't shoot them properly and I retrieve those missed projectiles the next morning. (I don't like guns so much, too easy)

We will eventually have a story line you can go through and beat the game, but it will keep playing. As long as you are having fun and find late game looting and fort defense challenging/fun, then keep going. When you feel you aren't challenged or there is no more loot your after thats when I start a new game.

Like in Minecraft, right? There you can go to a special dimension and beat a boss to get the credits flowing, but you can keep playing afterwards.

Talking about Minecraft, maybe like it, have it that each Level 5 or so plays the A16 level up sound, and other Levels play the A17 level up sound.

I'd love to see 7DTD's ending. You beat the Duke and while there's still zombies around, you're the king of the apocalypse now, baby :cool2:

 

[Kattla]

Just wait, A19

A19 confirmed then? Not Beta 1.

 

[TSRViper]

A19 confirmed then? Not Beta 1.

It resets at 20

 

[SnowDog1942]

...or stopping Han Solo zombies?

WoW, I never made that connection, didn't realize he was frozen in carbonite!!!

What's the endgame of Space Invaders?
Think of it like that.

I always thought it never stopped getting harder and you would eventually die. That's how I would want 7 days to die to be also.

Edit: Davega, don't go there.

Can We Get A Quiver Please

This has bugged me for a while & with the addition to Spears I think it would be nice to have 1...

We currently carry Arrows in the BP, Why? An Archer does not reload by grabbing Arrow's out of a BP...

I want to craft Quivers for Arrows or Spears, maybe we could add it to the Books for Archery to make Quivers that hold more Arrows or Spears.

I would also like to add the Spear Quivers to the Mini-Bike & Motorcycle so you could throw them while riding.

If we could add a bittch seat to the Motorcycle the passenger could throw Spears...

Quivers have been used for a long time to hold Arrows & Javelins or Spears...

Stick a stack of 250 arrows in one of the slots in your item bar.

Et viola! You now have arrows in a quiver on your belt rather than in your backpack.

So Like the new book system. Any chance you can setup the Traders to give out Quest for Books? like "So you want to be Dirty Harry" sends you on a series of quest to get the books and the final maybe provides a weapon or ammo

Already done.

Any chance that the trader will add a book or schematic in as a choice for your quest loot?

This is a great idea.

Glad you thought so about that one and not guppy selling the game wearing shirt, tie and no pants.

I put it in already, books are now a potential quest reward.

 

[Lonestarcanuck]

Did the Military Helmet texture get fixed for A18? in A17.4 if you press B. the image on the head slot does not match the one you are wearing.

head slot looks like a USMC MARPAT and the character image looks like Digi camo.

Hi Madmole, a very important consultation, seeing the amounts of new ammunition, perforators and others, I think it is necessary to add a work table to manufacture special ammunition, because it is not very obvious to manufacture them without a work table to create ammunition

 

[ReaperXGen]

When detection "eye" was removed in A17 I had mixed feelings: in one hand, it was fair to remove it (strange that a player can find out if they were noticed), in the other, removal caused a bit of sadness. Thinking about it, I've come up with an idea to introduce it back to the game, but now as a reward for collecting a set of books. It can also be explained: "after having mastered stealth skills, you can feel any evil sight".

P.S. I'm sorry for flooding, but it seems that my first post was not noticed.

I don't comment much here but I read a lot and after 2700 hours in this game I still love it.

I still get exited by playing a new game and trying to survive as long as I can and then start over... lol

Anyway... I love to read and see what work is still being done and can't wait for more updates.

Keep up the good work! Amazing!
