We have many programmers working on different parts of the game. My time for over a month has been on the new pathing system, AI movement/obstacles, general AI changes, some animal/zombie anim changes, various debugging improvements to help me see what is going on in these systems, ragdoll fixes and the various bugs that cross my path.
GUI - Unsatisfactory
There are a number of quirks and inefficiencies with the current G.U.I. I could make your read a lot by listing them all, but i actually think the best method for this is to show you how awesome it could be and let the problems reveal themselves..
so check out this highly rated and loved mod that was made for this game (meaning no copyright issues)

@faatal, Question on the new AI.
Does the zombie block strength checking account for the damage bonus assigned to their hand/item/weapon?
Just curious as if yes, then one could create a couple of different hands with different bonuses and thus have different zeds consider different paths as most efficient to get to target (example: an engineer who gets a damage bonus versus concrete might decide to go for a wall over a metal doorway).

Wouldn't this mess with the general upgrade path? A player is made to believe that upgrading from metal to concrete is beneficial but according to your proposal, the lines are blurred and it just depends on the kind of zombies you get.@faatal, Question on the new AI.Does the zombie block strength checking account for the damage bonus assigned to their hand/item/weapon?

Basically, certain types of zombies become "specials" depending on what material your base is built of. Once you upgrade, others become "spacials" against you.
Recoil
Is the recoil for the guns getting reworked any time soon? For me that is one of the biggest weak points of this game currently. I had to turn it off for the ak, and smg, because I just couldn't stand it. Crosshair teleporting up every time it shoots is just way too annoying. Having it be more and more inaccurate the longer it fires would be a lot more bearable. Also there could be skills, perks, or stat points like strength, that would decrease this recoil. Or maybe holding shift while firing would consume stamina, but greatly decrease the recoil.

Yes, as weird as it sounds, for me this is one of the most annoying problems for a long time now. Shooting is what you do most of the time you are playing, other than building and looting, its one of the main parts of the game, so it would make sense to prioritize it over flying vehicles for example..

Ever played any other shooter game with guns? If not, try one and you will see what I'm talking about..
