Just a question about the newly added vehicle collision system not about how it works but just asking from a cosmetic point of view let's say your vehicle reaches below 30% health are there plans to add a damaged model type for certain points of the vehicles health? It would be a cool feature but can completely understand as to why it probably won't be added.

It is not a new system, just an improvement of the current system.

I would like to see some indicator of high damage. Might just start with particle smoke coming off them.

Hi @faatal I wanted to ask if you have time to answer. Do you know anything about plans to change the models of the character's hands depending on what kind of armor he is wearing?
In addition, I wonder if modders will be able to use some of their custom animations for hands, NPCs in the future?
Thank you for your work and happy holidays to you guys :)

Not sure. I would guess the new player outfit models would change how the arms look, but don't know if that includes the hands.

 
ROADMAP TO GOLD AND BEYOND

  1. Bandits
  2. Armor
  3. Weather
  4. Factions & Story
  5. Steam Workshop Support
I just noticed that this list doesn't mention anything about stealth. Isn't there work to be done? I remember way back when you guys mentioned that you're taking scent out of the game temporarily. I've got to say that I really miss the old stealth that had the eye that would open if zombies detected you. Anyone else miss that? Now it seems inconsistent. I can shoot a gun while a zombie is hiding in a closet and they don't move (I can even shoot the closet door off). And other times they detect me at the faintest creak. 

Please bring the old stealth system back with the detected eye and meat scent, and mix it with the new system to overall improve it.

Replace already working feature instead of extending it. Nice

Well, to be fair, there was a multi-year gap between when smell was cut and feral sense was added. The one isn’t really a direct replacement for the other. They decided they didn’t want smell and cut it and did not replace it with anything. Years later they added feral sense which has some similarities and is as close to what smell did as we are likely to get but it isn’t really intended by the devs as a replacement. The devs aren’t necessarily trying to find a replacement. They simply cut a feature they decided they didn’t want for their game.

Has the A21 been moved to the next Christmas sale?

WHAT... did you not see the notice that is was up for 15 minutes this past Christmas ONLY for those who was fast enough to catch it. it was to see who actually caught onto Roland's clue about the time and day for sneak peak..

oh well... too bad. guess you will wait for the public version whenever that happens.

i sincerely hated to be the one to inform you. :)

 
I think it's basically this at this stage for us impatient folk

Don't give them any ideas or we'll get "A21 and A22 have been cancelled in favor of A23 due out in 2027."

It is time for the Pimps to announce *something* regarding A21.

Don’t get me started on “When it’s done”.

Something could be as easy as “Within X weeks and it may be buggy”

Just something. We were all excited for this alpha Pimps need to manage disappointment better.

True, but finally we again will get around the fire and agree that it is better to be done properly, instead full of bugs and insects. 

Lets say the Hype Train is getting upgraded and we need a new one, for more of us. Whats the worst that could happen, get a proper A21 ?
