Will the mini-bosses come in later feral horde stages? If not can will it be possible to mod them in using the files like any other zombie?

Not confirmable yet but they do want to be able to use them as quest mini-bosses but also for rare appearances on horde nights and yes they should be moddable like other zombies.

 
NO FREAKEN WAY!!! Everybody check out Roland's new avatar. :02.47-tranquillity:

My family and I went to a wax museum while we were in Orlando this past holiday. I took several amazing pictures but helping Albert see the universe was my favorite :)

(I quickly learned that you have to make sure to stare in the same direction as the wax figure for best effect. I also used Prism to add a cool filter that helps reduce the living flesh vs waxy flesh differences)

What's considered a mini boss? What's wrong with superman jokes?

A mini boss will be what might be guarding a quest item or in the "treasure room" of a level designed POI. It will have additional attributes above and beyond normal zombies. Madmole will have to share specifics once he judges them to be a lock for A17.

Nothing wrong with Superman jokes. But Invisible Man jokes are taboo.

 
Your avatar isn't as scary as it should be :) ...but it is kinda spooky to consider just how old you really are. Is that what Albert was trying to calculate all those years only to end up with a couple of theories?

 
People have been asking for an update of what all is being worked on so here is a rundown for you. An astute person such as DeVega will notice that things like bandits and breadcrumbs and enemy AI are not listed-- but don't be dismayed. This is just what is currently being worked on right now and some of these projects are winding up and then they will start on their next tasks. Also these guys cross over and help each other and so they are actually working on multiple things at once. But these are the main areas of focus right now.

Thanks for the update Roland.

 
Hello once again, i ve read the respones to my post regarding new foods, and thank you for the insightful replies --

i had no idea the setting was in an Arizona-like place, i suppose the geology and climate plays a vital role to that, thanks for the insight

Still, i think adding salt would be interesting, preserving meat by smoking it or other methods (it would be useful when they add a rotting mechanic for food if thats within their plans, and could be a real life saver early in the game) would add a sense of realism and inmersion. Including perhaps a little more variety of animals ?

thanks for your thoughts and im happy to be here, i dont know why i didnt post back then, i suppose im pretty satisfied with the game, and can only hope to see whats next in the roadmap to beta and final release

Thanks for the update mate!

And a nice new avatar! I relatively (he-he..) like it!

 
Roland does that make you the Tea boy ? You missed out what you are working on.

Although you need to remeber that the Tea boy is one of the most important jobs along with cleaning.

Thanks for the update its good to know. Do we have a % done of planned items for A17 or how far progress before looking to release A17.

really excited to see the A17 and how much different the game is going to play.

Roland's job, as always, is cat-herder. Trying to keep the forums, and particularly the dev diary, just above the threshold of complete anarchy.

To be honest, he does a pretty good job of keeping things civil and admonishing those who are <expletive deleted> without immediately resorting to the ban-hammer. A good moderation team is essential for the well-being of a forum.

Love you Roland x ;-)

 
I am one who thinks more fruits and veggies need to be added. I don't live in Arizona, but reading on the internet, they grow citrus fruits, berries such as blueberries (we have in the game) but also blackberries. Granted much of the fruits and veggies are from irrigation, but that doesn't mean many of them couldn't go wild by the rivers, creeks, ponds and lakes in the area. I would like to see some type of fruit tree, whether it would be apple, dates or citrus. Another veggie, and as much as I hate Brussel sprouts they could be one, or peas.

Would it really be so hard to add one fruit tree type, a citrus oranges that could be made into juice to hydrate you and cool you down, or lemons? And blackberries or strawberries that could be made into pies, cobblers, or juice? Veggies that can be used in a variety of ways, peas to make pea soup, used in veggies soup with other veggies or Brussel sprouts?

Brussel sprouts. I want to grow huge friggen stalks of brussel sprouts. Maaaaaaaaaadmoleymoleymoley!!! Give me the brussel please? kthxbai

A mini-boss would be considered something like Guppycur on the forums, same as Roland.

Then you feed Roland a Moon Stone® and he evolves into Trolland, a full on raid boss!

(Waiting for the abuse for calling Gup a mini-boss. Or, in the words of Disgaea, Midboss!)

 
I would bet that one of the first mods that get made after we go stable will be a cooking mod that adds a wide variety of plant life and recipes to go with them. It's about as easy a mod to make as there is, except possibly the graphical aspects of it.
