Thanks for the update! I figure if you are quiet here, you are probably working your tail off.
Question: Does your new AI anti overlap code give us less of the conga line effect? (Just curious someone mentioned it.)

Also is it intended behaviour for wandering hordes to still spawn in if you are in a quest poi?

We had one come in on us when we were 3/4 through getting to the tougher zeds.

There were many deaths that day by ferals, irradiated, screamers, and spitting cops.

I know you got them to add the running options.... can you get a setting in for the mp gamestage multiplier? Sp feels fair at least up to day 24, but with 4 players the combined gamestage us just throwing way too many later gamestage zeds at us.

Obstacle avoidance has a short distance, so mostly only works when a front zombie stops or is much slower than the following zombie.

Quest POI, yes, because random stuff happens, but today I did increase the distance and range of the line they travel by you on and increased the random delay between wandering hordes.

Gamestage is still be tweaked.

 
Hope the AI will be further improved so this tactic with slopes isn't possible anymore. Imagine if zombies jumped on metal railings and held on to them. Now that would be a nice surprise.
We need some new special infected :) .

If the zombies just did some damage to the block they jumped into, then that might do it.

 
New build today? :-D

Not today. Probably Monday.

Zombie XP reduction, ranged weapon balancing, player jump/step noise reducing, stealth working vs vultures and other changes went in today. I plan on playtesting those changes over the weekend.

Awesome, and thanks for keeping us in the loop!

 
You can program AI with randomness too, which faatal stated he would get into eventually. Definitely a17 as far as which AI is better.

Yes. A18 will probably be the version that starts getting a lot more variety in general.

I just hope you guys change sensing/hearing when in underground. I'm not saying horde nights, but "common days" zombies shouldn't be able to hear or sense a player in the underground 30+ meters (I think 20 meters would be a good number, because on A16 25 ~ 30 meters it's where I was getting good ore veins).

Did you just make a faatal mistake :D . Giving an estimated date for a release. You know on forums that words like probably, maybe, hopefully, etc can't be seen by a large population of members. They just don't register in the brain.

 
Should a Start a new game? This is the screen I get when I try to access 7Daystodie

Well starting a new game is up to you and not mandatory, but if you're going to talk about a bug then it is.

I am not Sure Guppy. I cannot open the game at all from the load screen. Guppy, I know I have been a jerk in the past. I said I was sorry to eveyone on here. I had some issues then.

 
I don't know what you mean, but try submitting your output log in the support section. There are a couple of guys there who live to help people.

That is true, but if people can't read, that is their problem.

Yes it is, but alas, it usually ends up being your problem. Cheer up though, Christmas will soon be here and as you know the holidays makes everyone more pleasant.

Spit my coffee out trying to say that with a straight face...
