Dear Fun Pimps,
Please see this video on Unity AI :

"How many AI Agents can Unity handle?"

Please give us mooooooooore zombie.

This is an area of contention for me.

I like the idea of more unique zombies that are higher quality with more interesting characteristics.

Massive numbers of zerging zombies do nothing but crash frame rates and are boring as hell because you treat them all the same, using the old spray them with the AK 47 until they all die approach, or explosive crossbow bolts with the old one explosive bolt to kill anything in it's range, worst of all those of us with excellent aim the old shoot them in the head until they die approach, I'm tired of it.

I would prefer zombies with unique weakness characteristics of various types, this one dimensional "one bullet to kill them all" design puts me to sleep.

Fun pimps can and should do better.

A whole year for a patch...and next patch takes 2 years

If it means full release of the game, i won't mind. I love this game so much, started in A15 so pretty late, even though i watched streams of it before.

A16 though a fluke on many aspects in my opinion, was setting the ground for the future development of the game, and it was still incredible in it's own right (distant POIs, best addition this game could ask for imho, though it still needs tweeking ).

Keep in mind that bandits should eventually become real thing in the standard game. That will add a lot to the dynamics.

This. So So much this. This is how I've lived my whole life. Did I mention I'm single?

Question for devs or people who realy know about it.After A17 launch we need to restart the game or will be a way to convert the actual world with the new things..i know I can wipe the server and keep all players level...or i just need to wipe at all everything... Thanks in advance !!!

I'm 99.99999999999..% sure you will have to wipe. This Alpha has too many changes to things like item ids, etc for there to be any realistic chance of loading an old save.

FYI: The devs of 7 Days to Die communicate directly with the devs of Unity so they are pretty well in the loop and know what it can do. (Although they ironically have similar complaints about communication with their devs as you all have for your devs....lol)
Apparently, there’s never enough vertical communication no matter what level you are operating at.

But I would be willing to bet they don't go onto their devs forums and post "Is it done yet?" 50 times a week.

I think it's more likely that you can take your Pac Man savegame and continue playing it in X-Com.

Challenge Accepted

According to the beard growth ruler, our hp bar is resting nicely on SEA CAPTAIN.

Anonymous sources inside Fun Pimps revealed this is the project road map for DLC. Thousands of man hours spent developing the map.

 

[Maharin]

Shouldn't Madmole be on that beard meter?

 

[kamer1337]

bar runs out for experimental or final build?

Good point. Revision:



Our hp-bm bar is still holding course with the SEA CAPTAIN.

bar runs out for experimental or final build?

Experimental. Bar shall not pass when reaching WIZARD =)

A zombie balrog would be a sight to see... from a long way off.

^ I can imagine the cave parties..

Unless they nerfed spiked clubs too much, i'd be happy to show you one, dead on the ground.

The ones without fire and animals outside ? Man, time flyes.

Any plans to add some cooking books?
