Do you mean pregenerated maps as Navezgane, but with random quest system , different survival scenarios ? As a modder, do you think it could be done, would be awesome.

It could be done now it's just a pain in the butt, but the a17 quest system is really going to make it worthwhile.

 
It sounded like TFPs were looking into more terrain editing tools which im sure will come in handy for custom created worlds.

Yup, they will make it as closer to the real look as they can in a voxel world.

I remember on good old Star Craft, wher you play so much different modes on use map settings. Poker defence (grr). Thausands actually. If such thing happens with this game, which seems to be on the plan as I see your mods and Jax`s and such...we are gonna have a good life.

p.s. SC and 7DTD are different games but method is similar in my poor experience. Letting fans bringing new scenarios and vision is the best.

Hey Madmole, I do enjoy the idea of having broken arms, it will liven up the gameplay a little bit, make us decide if continuing to loot is a good idea when we are hurt, next could even be head trama that causes blurred vision or our aim to be really off, it was nice to hear a little about the new skills like possibly faster reloading, im excited to hear more about the skill system changes, keep up the awesome work.

 
When he brought up the spawn menu I saw "Helicopter", "Animal Boss Grace" and "Jokebump".

Anyone want to make a guess as to what they are.

Helicopter is probably the gyrocopter. Animal Boss Grace is probably a unqiue named bear boss, either that or is recreation of joels evil 2nd grade teacher. :p

 
Bashing some brains and shooting arrows never looked so satisfying in the game, nice job.

That HP bar...is it optional?

I like it, makes the game look even more like an RPG.

I also saw some bandit NPCs in it.

Check out improved combat and terrain!

Awesome! Glad to see that combat is finally receiving a lot of attention. Also, a little detail that I noticed is that when you hit a zombie your weapon has a slow down effect, which makes it feel like you're actually hitting an object instead of swinging past it.

Distant terrain is also looking great with the new shader and distant trees. Hopefully the lighting will get touched up a bit as well, as it seems pretty rough in certain situations with Alpha 16, but that could just be personal preference.

Thanks for video Madmole, and keep up the good work!

 
All looks good. But I didn’t like the mention of dlc he made. Games not even finished so dlc should not even be in the thought process yet

Helicopter is a placeholder in case faatal is able to do an actual helicopter. (he expressed interest in it)

Animal Boss Grace is a placeholder for an animal boss entity coming soon.

Jokebump is actually Jokeblimp and is a placeholder in case faatal is able to do an actual airship. (Al expressed interest in it)

Those are my...uh...guesses.

It has already been established that not every single feature that they plan for the game will be released before launch. Some features will be released after launch and since they will not be driving to your house and programming it into your computer the only way for you to get the rest of the features of the game is through downloadable content. So why exactly shouldn't he mention it when it will be the way the game continues to progress after gold release?

 
When do you guess we will get a proper DPS gauge so we can min max while watching a red bar?! You know, like a REAL RPG?

 
Ah yes, playing the role of a red bar watcher, truly the most immersive experience!

I purposely take a 1 for that attribute so that my character always suffers from status bar blindness and can't see any status bars of any kind. I compensate by putting the points into charisma for the forums.

Bandit NPCs are already in it right now. Go into A16, open the console, type dm, exit the console, then press F6 and spawn in some bandits.

The fun factor of said bandits is quite low atm....

 
@roland I’m fine with dlc. I’ll buy it if it adds to the game. There still developing a alpha. No need to mention dlc before the games release. The fun pimps seem to be good developers but nobody wants a call of duty situations. Games comes out and it was obvious that dlc was made prior to the release of the game.

They have not finished the content lock for the game so why mention dlc if something is planned for dlc fine but don’t tell us about it. I’d prefer if there time was spent finishing and fixing the game. Not thinking about what could be used for dlc later.

If DLC wasn't even in their thought processes yet they would be the worst devs in history. DLC has probably been at least simmering in the back of their minds since 5 seconds after they reached their kick starter goal. If not before.

Oh I see. You are assuming that dlc means something extra you have to pay for. That isn't what Madmole is talking about. He isn't trying to gear up for selling us something additional. He is simply letting us know that more good stuff will be coming even though we are near the end of the alpha phase and near hitting the content lock for beta and the gold release. He's saying, "Don't worry, if ABC don't make it into A17 or A18 and then we shift into beta and then finish the game, ABC will still be coming post release."

If you don't like the letters dlc then substitute in pru. (post release update)
