Really excited about the upcoming changes.
The Zombies looking at you with the new models is going to be super creepy.

@faatal will the roads be getting any painted lines on them in random gen?

People are going way to worked up about drones, none of us have played it yet so we have no idea how its going to play, so relax.

If you dont like them, dont build them/ scrap them if you find them simple.

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the lines alone roads would have all faded away by now.

EVIDENCE

"Latex-based paint, for example, can last from six months to one year under normal road conditions. Water-based paint is also expected to last up to one year, and in some cases two years, under normal conditions. Thermoplastic, on the other hand, is a more durable material, and in many areas can last several years."

True enough, but its not like there is hundreds of cars driving around and if it was that far in the future, there would be no canned food.

I just like it for the immersion, like road and sidewalks that connect to each and make sense, proper road networks.

Like houses having a garage but no driveway, drives me nuts if I use it as a base I build a driveway lol.

 
Perhaps at this point they should think about including an actual first aid kit, one that has approximately 1 slot for each type of treatment. Like a backpack inside of the backpack.

Maybe the first aid kit would need to actually be deployed; set it on the ground to open it up for adding or removing items

yeah, the more I think about it the more I like the idea of a deployable first aid kit

What if first aid kits instead just had value of, say, 100, and however much HP it healed got subtracted from the value? It would make them more versatile and slot saving without needing to consume an entire kit to heal up, rather you could use it for minor injuries. For status effects like broken leg or bleeding it could subtract 10 from the kit, and have the first aid perk lower the amount of consumption for different effects.

 
Mr. Mole, i have noticed that Composer Mick Gordon no longer works for Bethesda.

Since you allready hired a Dev from Doom 2016, you maybe consider hiring Mick to pimp the Soundtrack?

For the poor souls that dont know him: watch BFG Division on Youtube to get a taste :)

 
but could you imagine this game with that many zs at once. even more. argh one could dream....

hover drones will probably be trash without heavy investment into turrets and eat thru 9mm very quickly.

 
Sure was. Take a look at this baby:

Holy poo, a20 zombies look freaking awesome.

 
This was a fun feature to do and took less than a day:
Added AI head tracking to movement or target positions.

How does this work in mp? Will we see zombies head tracking a focused player?

Btw, I love this!

Is it just the heads that track or the eyes as well?

 
Let it go, even if you were 100% correct you wont get most people to accept they were wrong...especially on the internet lol...

I read part of it. The spirit it is good (zombies should be stupid) but at the end of the day this is a tower defense horror game and there can't be a guaranteed "I'm safe" situation or all fear and motivation to play is lost for a lot of people.

 
wait it was remove?
Click to expand...
Yes I had it removed because zombies would nearly do exorcist 360s and it didn't blend with their animations at all, so it was this sea of heads staring at you like a bunch of sprites. It was better to disable it for the time being until we could redo it properly.... which is now.

 
Thats a pretty sweet looking base...especially for early alpha standards. Symmetry, ramp column accents, walkways and sniper roost. :p

7 Days always had the bones of a fun game. Yes nice base for back in the day.

There is easily room on the market for 100x the games. I cannot find a game I like other than one a year at best. 7 Days, Ark, Rust, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Subnautica are the only memorable titles in the last 10 years. I have time and money for more of those. I'm so bored right now I'm playing BFME2 and Plants vs Zombies. I'm simply unwilling to try new stuff because it always sucks and cannot hold my interest. So I replay old stuff until Starfield or ES6 drop. I'm ready to play 7 days, just waiting for a few more missing components and I'll start a new build.

Look into T3A online if you are interested in multiplayer BFME2

Try raft and stranded deep, both fun survival games.
