Looking at the new Oak tree:

I can almost here the air rustle the leaves,

I can almost see the little birds, singing wonderful tunes,

I can almost shoot them through the neck,

no noise you dang critters, zombies are near!

 
Most trees in the game are "live". Why would Madmole specify the oak tree is live, unless... !

Eureka! The big unannounced feature of Alpha 17 is ZOMBIE TREES!

No need to thank me, everyone.

 
With all this great new foliage, I hope they add some more smaller animals in the future, like crows for example. Imagine the chance of a flock of crows attacking from the trees when you get near one and try to chop it down.

 
So to translate... you are asking for no more videos or forum posts just because something that was said could turn out to not be of shippable quality at the next release?
Would it not be easier if you didn't look at the forum if you're not compatible with Early Access games?

If only more people would ignore the fourms!

 
Trees are nice and all that, but Gotham requires a video.

Almost half of July!

Edit: Forgot to cough

"cough"

Looks like we are entering the home stretch!

Since some of You have played the latest builds - are there any improvements in the performance dept?

Are the latest builds on full texture size still chomping 12+ GB's of RAM?

Want to recommend this masterpiece of a game to some pals, but I guess RAM availability is an issue.

There was mention of texture streaming being implemented, and roughly a ~50% perf gain overall in A17 (not necessarily related to texture streaming). So fingers crossed!

Great! Thanks for the info. We'll see when this monolith eventually drops on us.

 
Because the motor cycles are fallin- clipped thru scenery. Bug has persisted thru A16.Id assume the drop is related to this.

Lets be real. Howd you like to get a brand new 4 person jeep just to have it clip and fall endlessly thru the world?

xD

That has been fixed.

WOW 50% that's a big improvement I hope that's true.

 
It was mentioned in the last video that the water shader has been improved.

Yes, MM showed a video with the changes but it was different to the most recent image. He originally explained that it was more of a fix than a major visual change and as the reflectiveness of the water hasn't budged for a number of alpha's then I would call that pretty significant.

He did mention in the vid that they are working on underwater features so perhaps water in its entirety is getting some love on top of the usual bug fixing. Pretty normal I guess for the end of an alpha where more visual related changes occur. No complaints here :)

July the 27th would be the perfect day to release A17. It would coincide with the real life blood moon. Mind you, if the quacks are to be believed, it's also the end of the world that day so, please release it early on the 27th so we get a few minutes/hours to test it before we all die.

 
Oak no you just didnt! You can be sappy once, twice but not tree times!
