Most of us should see the greatest improvement as Unity improves its usage of multi-core processors.

Even the slowest potato these days has more than one processor core. Given the voxel nature of 7dtd the more cores you can throw at those calculations the better. The single-threaded nature of Unity has been a weakness that's become more apparent over the past few years as developers, such as TFP, have pushed the engine further than it was ever envisioned to go. To be honest, they should have been improving multi-processor support about five years ago but better late than never.

...I for one are sooo freaking happy they hired more people. A lot of people were asking for that long before they actually did. Sometimes if you want change being quiet and saying/doing nothing doesn't work.

You seriously think hiring more people was in any way affected by forum posts? Lol. They hired more people when they decided they had the need AND the money to do it. It wouldn't have done any good to hire people before that point just to have the company go under from mismanagement when the alphas were still in single digits.

 
seeing as we have electricity now isnt it time to update the minibike? to modernise it?

all jokes aside looking forward to more vehicles in the game..

 
Will they put dwarfs in the game?

I doubt that they would. 7 Days is set in Navesgane County, Arizona, In I think 2135 (sometime in the future after WW3), so dwarfs would be more of something you would find in a fantasy like game (Skyrim, etc.) and 7 days is meant to be as realistic as possible (minus the factor of zombies, lol). However, they did add a Dire wolf which exsisted in Pre-historic times, so you never can know.

I'm pretty sure that little rumor has been squashed by the devs repeatedly. It is meant to be as realistic as necessary. In other words, they're not going to let realism get in the way of fun. Hence the company name is The Fun Pimps not The Reality Pimps. :p

Right, I forgot about that. However, I don't think dwarfs are on their list though.

 
Finally, as to why most of what has been shown is just art, that is because this part of development is Madmole's passion and what he oversees and so he shares with us what he has been working on. It has always been this way. As more development completes that others on the team are working on he will share those things as he did the bicycle and the motorcycle.

That's about it.

A lot things are happening but you can't show may-be-working code.

Even if that is completed it can take weeks until everything is hooked up to content, data and UI.

If it wasn't so pointless I'd tell you to be patient. =P

Since irradiated zombies glow. Wouldn’t that mean you would be taking rad damage from them? Having a rad suit could be a must at higher game stage. So hazmat zombies infect to stage 2, irradiated would cause radiation sickness. Just saying....

I see a bad moon rising. I see trouble on the way.

I tend more towards snarkiness rather than anger. I’m more often highly amused by trollish and melodramatic behavior in others and I get....snarky. Maybe I WOULD be a great big yellow hulk—or purple. What’s the gamma radiation color for sarcastic douchebaggery?

DC has the lampoon corps where they have a colour for every emotion or somesuch.

Any DC experts here? Which ones work on sarcastic douchebaggery?

 
Welp...Purple and Pink are right out.

So is white. I strongly suspected the icon of some character in front of some white board with some kind of black 'language' all over it might have been a 'little' misleading...

And the new portrait is definitely in line with Super Moderator aka Banner Bannerer.
