How awesome would it be, if each section of that bandit's armor was randomly present or not on each bandit?

  • Instead of the player reacting, "Oh, this is the heavy one, I have to shoot him more," the reaction could be, "Aha, this one's right leg is unprotected!

Oh yes I greatly support this idea!

General "bigger armored guy has overall more hitpoints" would be somewhat meh,

but being able to specifically target unprotected areas  (limbs 😏) on individual enemies to take advantage in some situation, e.g.

-weapon arm causing bad aim (of course)

-leg causing limp/slower movement (...no kidding...🙄)

-shooting off helmet giving a chance to let him flee/panic or at least keep him hiding behind cover

-...stuff

...wow, enumerating this feels so stupid, as it sounds absolutely logic that it should be like that,

I really hope there's nothing about the game engine or whatever to prevent implementation of some kind of such system!

*fingers crossed*

 
I notice the emphasis on the cars being DECORATIVE.

I will repeat here, since it is A21 content related, (and this is especially re: the SUV and pickup) - can we please get working versions that do not require modding?

Those two cars are looking amazing and I think it would be fantastic to be able to fix them up, new battery and wheels, oil etc, and drive them around the apocalypse.

They look like a perfect opportunity to really take the early game (and game up) another level.

Cheers.

well they have a programmer who is only task is to work on the water overhaul. I hope its ready in time for A21, and hopefully the new armor system is ready by then also

and I know that pickup is a decorative vehicle to wrench down, bit I would love if the 4x4 got reskinned to look like that and had its audio changed to sound more like a pick up truck than what ever hell the buggy sounds like right now

Water is making good progress, so there is a good chance it will be in A21.

 
If the future water includes a somewhat sufficient flowing behavior,

I would love to see some kind of pump system introduced into the game.

I can imagine some nice use cases of this,

starting with just decorative handpump water fountains for my living base,

over water filled traps to emergency-flushaway zombie hordes, or water jet defense turrets,

til just idle sandbox fun in creative mode when I want to set a complete POI under water with a massive setup of high-power electric water turbines.

Faatal, any chance we can get these new vehicles driveable? They look way too good to be just decorative.

Roland posted what he can but since you're a developer, maybe you could give us some hope?

... definitely my first thought when I saw that ... It'd be trivial to have them spawn in hiding/showing those mesh pieces (I know because I've done it), so yes I think they purposely have it set up that way for that specific purpose.

Just so everyone knows, faatal always finds a beaker... LOL

hmmm...maybe I'll just post

HOW??????????????????????????????????????????????? THIS MOST CURSED ITEM IN THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!

And few question to Devs: 

1. There is change to add waterfalls - i mean by this  something like flowing water in canals 

2. Do you plans to add new models of cars into old POI like gas station or new cars will be only in new POI/outside?

3. Well there is a chance to add skeletons please? 🙏

4. About farming - is there any plan about change this now?

5. Will bandits spawn radomly outside or POI only?

Do we even know if those vehicles will be made driveable or are they just new block decorations? 

Roland says "decorative", so I assume the latter.  If so... Then uh... Big whoop?  There are better free models on the unity store.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is A20.4 still going to happen or does this mean changes planned for 20.4 will go into A21 instead? :confused2:

Do new alphas and bugfixes for current alphas happen in parallel?

Bugfixes and optimizations and changes are all done for A21. Of those, the ones that are determined to be safe enough for Alpha 20 are updated to whatever the current experimental branch is.

Hey Guppy, already asked Faatal but as of yet no response. Hope they are though 😌
