while i like the new female zombie looks, the hair looks dreadful to me, and is a step back from the older looks. Specifically, those band have to go, and both having the same color hair seems a poor artistic decision choice. maybe one could be a redhead?

I'm not digging the more "futuristic' look of a lot of items, but its not my game so not my call. 7 days never felt like a futuristic game to me... it always felt like an alternate reality current date game instead.

I DO like the more colorful looking world, and hope the rwg world splat thing that makes terrain a pain to traverse unless you are on a road is lessened.

Question: Is the mentioned vehicle damage and repair feature still in a19, or did it get pushed back?

 
Yes they are ready.

Hi Madmole, would you be so kind to find some time to show us the new skill tree in the next days?

If you post a video I'll surely re-post it on Steam as soon as I watch it! Thanks! :encouragement:

got pushed back to A20

 
Hey Gazz, are you planning on having spear throw damage increase with points in the spear skill?

If it is a balance issue, you could always have the damage kick in at like rank 3 or 4 of the skill.

I just want to primarily throw spears next update, and would also like to have a reason to invest in the spear skill.

 
I'm alive. Mornings are good, late afternoon and nights, not so much. Wife and I caught type a flu on the ship, then I got pneumonia in 3 nodes (whatever those are), hospital (isolation ward) for a bit, released, corona came back negative (2 weeks to get results!).
Still have a nice green phlegm so still fighting an infection, but already done with my courses of anti virals and antibiotics.

But my daughter had the best time ever on the cruise so it was all worth it. :)

Since pneumonia is what kills you with both corona and flu, trying to take it easy (not that I have a choice, I'm wiped out after going to pee).

Bit disappointed I don't have corona, because now it means I have to worry about it. Ah well.

Ship had confirmed cases of covid so dunno how we dodged it.

Mostly I just mod these days when I have the energy. :)

That sounds too much like corona. I would guess that the test was faulty. After you get better, they have a new antibody test that can confirm if you've ever had corona in the past because of the presence of antibodies. Not sure how soon it will be widely available but they want to use it to let people rejoin the work force. Glad you are still with us in any case.

 
@MM Was it ever thought of to add a random spawner to zombies in the since that the faces where the only sliht changes maybe or no change at all but animations were different?Like a RNG to the animations but not the model? I think that would be an easy solution to the "all zombies of this type walk attack the same its boring and predictable" dilema? hell,

you could just mix up ALL the animations of said class type (Not lumberjack movments with arlene) but it would mix it up a little atleast

We've talked about it.

Hair isn't done, they will add hair cards yet and that will improve it a lot.

Read the first page to stay up to date on anything big, such as features moved to a later alpha and new stuff added.

I'm glad you are ok. That really really sounds like Corona though. I live in the epicenter of it in Europe so... I know what is like to be afraid of Infection and not having a clue how to get the herbal antibiotics recipe in time.

There are few flu viruses going at that time of the year, speculating is really bad idea, don't make conclusions based on what you just see and feel..

Now, back to topic, all.

Actually... a couple of days ago someone said in the discord and I agreed, that same as we have RNG for weapons, it would be nice to also have some sort of RNG for the Zs, for example to their heights… it would add a bit more of Variety seeing for example a taller nurse, or a Shorter biker. Not sure how they manage the clothing textures, but differnt clothing for the ''civilian'' Zs would be nice too.

It should. It was simply broken in A18.

 
What this game needs the most right now is massive AI improvements. Just go watch some jaWoodle's videos on YT. You can literally make an AFK horde nigh base by cheesing the current AI with wedges and arrow slits.

Kinda makes the whole horde night pointless ?

Some cheese could be reduced by making certain shapes only attach on certain sides so you cant attach 2 blocks trough air. (Like 2 wedge tips facing each other)

 
The thing that makes me angry the most about it, is that i always fall for it again. MM last Fall: "Uhhhm yeah we gonna do small Content Updates every 3 months, first one before Christmas 2019"

always the same lies... eh "predictions" every cycle again and again and i believe him and get deeply dissapointed with every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Month that passes^^

I didn't expect there were still people believing in these predictions, they do this since alpha 14..

 
Dr. Huenink, what can you tell me about this rash? (No Snowdog jokes, you guys need some new material.)

It can be made to look better but your performance will get worse.

Double-entendres are an art form :-)
