So... how many more patches are scheduled for A21?

Are we almost there? Or are you planning on 2/3 more?  :ranger:

I'm asking because the more A21 is dragged on, the more the A22 goal post moves into the future.


Since A21 patches are just a collection of changes that were copied back to A21 there is almost no time lost for A22. They could put out a meaningful new patch for A21 and release the next alpha on the next day if they wanted

Honestly, any more animal variety would be welcome.
Tbh there's only so much wildlife in Arizona. The only thing really that could be added is like turkeys, bighorn sheep, black bears. But more of the wildlife spawning in other biomes would be better 

*note, I know there's much more but I'm talking about stuff that would have a role for ambience like a raccoon or something 

Like cougars in bars... I mean In forest and deserts, hostile wildlife in the forest like coyotes being in forest more common but zombies also eat them and other wildlife.  

Or more zombie animals. Like deer, boars, maybe a zombie cougar bar? 

Really TFP just need to focus on bandits and special zombies. The only thing with animals is updated models but that's it really cuz some look.... goofy

Already in game (black bears don't all have black fur). Grizzly/brown bear are much larger.
I don't know that I'd agree that the bears are black bears in the game.  Black bears are relatively small (for bears) and the bears in the game are about as tall at the shoulders while on all fours as you.  A black bear would be about half your height (on all fours).  Granted, a grizzly is also going to be shorter than you, though not as much as a black bear.  Considering no real bears will be as tall on all fours as those in the game, I guess you could assume they are black bears, though I still would pick a grizzly or brown bear (or even a kodiak) as they are all larger than a black bear on average.

Black bears are also generally going to run away from you unless there are cubs involved or you really make it mad.  Unless you want to imagine that the bears are all starving and so will attack for that reason, but considering the amount of prey animals around, that wouldn't really make sense.  Other bears are less skittish than the black bear.

The bears in the game are brown bears and not black bears because they're large, aggressive, and... Brown.
