After party at Bubo’s
(Why does that sound so fitting?)

I've always been interested in the question. Why are not there dirty zombies in the game? Dirt, sand, dust and clay do their thing.

Zombies fall into the pond and go from there clean? How so?

In the marshes and small ponds there are no dirty creeping zombies. Look at the walking dead. There are decomposing and dirty zombies. Their movements are slow or at least some of their legs are torn off. But they are alive.

- Zombies without extremities - will also be cool.

- Zombies with missing legs and pelvis.

- Zombies with missing hands.

- A zombie with an absent leg or hand.

After all, you can add a new kind of marsh / dirty zombies with the absence of some limbs. You walk around the pond and out of this kind of zombie.

This all falls into the category of a randomized NPC appearance system, which would be incredibly amazing to have, but sadly way too resource consuming by the looks of it.

This would be interesting for a future update, something you would put near release. Also, whatever happened to breadcrumbs? I thought that was delayed in alpha 16 for 17 but no word. Did I miss something?

 
Was recently playing on a Modded server, I must say, you guys should really look into working with these mod developers. I think it will really help jump this game forwards a lot. :)

We'll solve it, we discussed that exact approach.

you run into a pile of cinderblocks on the road, it will prolly stop you irl too.

I think Game play over RL in this instance trumps it by A lot. Especially (if/when) they add a 4 wheeled vehicle and you won't have the room to maneuver as well as a bike. Penalty for hitting them sure! total dead stop? no thank you!

This, especially considering that right now you practically can't drive anywhere off a road in the wasteland biome if you want to keep your sanity. Oh yeah, and because of the landmines too.

Ha. I just got a funny picture in my mind of riding the pedal bike and hitting one of those mines out of the blue xD

 
Just checking in after several months....

Hello!

I just was checking in after several months of A16. I remember seeing something where the goal was to release content more frequently instead of having such lengthy gaps in between releases. That said, is the "Well into 2018" that's quoted at the top of this forum a truth or just "joking"?

I just have noticed no updates lately on Steam so I thought I would come here and see what's going on. Truth versus what was heard/said etc....

Anyways - Merry Christmas all!

Nope. They pretty much gave that hope up after Alpha 13.

The header of the official developer's diary on the official forums of The Fun Pimps is truth. We joke around a lot in the thread but information in the header and in the first post are no jokes.

So 2020 release date wasn't for real and was a joke. Cool, I was worried to death.

 
Players were angry when they could no longer make parts, does not look like a decision that is going to go over very well with players,.. again, ...just my opinion

Then they should start getting used to the idea.

When weighing "realistic-ish weapon parts that have no gameplay value" (the equivalent of wooden sticks) against "weapon mods and attachments with noticeable effects and choices"... gameplay wins. It's how we roll.

 
And in real life if you need a weapon you buy all of it, not part by part. And the attachments are not included. So yea, new idea is awesome.
