Introduction
Introduction
Welcome to the newbie survival guide. Here you will learn about the key points and symbols in Project Zomboid, as well as get detailed information about the basics of survival, combat, finding things, etc.
The purpose of this guide is to walk you through Project Zomboid step by step. The above tips are just general guidelines: to get the full gaming experience, try your own tactics. However, for a better understanding of the mechanics of the game, and in order to avoid unwanted errors, we strongly recommend reading this guide.
Starting the game for the first time or after several dozen attempts, you will inevitably find yourself in dangerous situations, sometimes absolutely hopeless. If you are playing the game for the first time, you should know that death in Project Zomboid is an integral part of the gaming experience. With each attempt, you will encounter new opportunities for creativity and, for sure, will soon find your own style of passage.
Character Creation
Character creation menu
After choosing a game mode, you will go to the character creation menu. For details on character creation, see the Player page. Which will help you solve all the issues related to character creation and explain the meaning of various perks and professions. If you are a beginner, you may find the Thick Skin perk useful, which will increase your chances of surviving the fight against zombies.
However, you should understand that death is inevitable. The game tells us about this, even when loading the world, and for the first few times, you will probably die in a few game days, or even hours. It happens, don't worry. As long as you're just gaining experience, each subsequent time you'll play much better and also learn something new.
Below are some examples of the initial stages of the game, but first let's look at short description characteristics of certain perks. Currently, the game is still not finished, and some traits just need balancing, while others are not implemented properly. When creating your character, you will need to balance its traits by going either to 0 or plus (Points to spend).
Examples of negative perks that won't make the game too difficult are Cowardly, Doesn't Like Books, Tired, High Thirst, and Prone to Sickness. Cowardly has not so much Negative influence, since in the early stages of the game it is better not to encounter zombies at all until you find one of the weapons Baseball Bat , Ax or Hunting Knife . Doesn't like books and Tired doesn't have any "negative" effects per se, since it doesn't actually decrease the player's stats, it just increases the time to read books/sleep. high thirst are one of the "free" points. Your character will only need to drink 30% more, which is initial stage not a problem at all, since every house has water in the taps, and you can carry a couple of bottles of water with you. Also Prone to sickness is not, in fact, generally negative, as it increases the time of transformation into a zombie (if you are infected). And since you're going to die anyway, it doesn't matter how fast.
Weight and Endurance
You can only carry a limited amount of items in your inventory, as the game has a limit on the maximum weight you can carry. By default, you can carry 12 kilograms with you, this value varies depending on your "Strength" parameter and can be changed at the beginning of the game using character traits or already in the game itself (but very slowly). Remember - overweight not only slows you down, but also takes away some health from your character, so be careful how much stuff you carry with you.
The character also has limited stamina. When running, carrying heavy things or swinging weapons, as well as fighting zombies, the character spends strength and the fatigue icon appears. A tired character runs very slowly and can swing weapons with great difficulty, which increases your chance of being killed by zombies. Your "Fitness" parameter is responsible for your stamina. You can increase it in the same way as "Strength". If the situation allows, you can relax by right-clicking on some furniture (chair, bed, sofa). Depending on the level of fatigue, a different amount of time will be spent on rest. You can also set an alarm on your watch and sleep for 1-2 hours, this will also give a good effect, plus you will want to sleep a little later, which can be useful when outing in the city.
Dream
In single player, your character will get tired. You will be able to rest or sleep on most chairs and beds, but it is advisable to sleep on beds, especially double beds, as sleeping on chairs and sofas can result in back pain. If your character is overstressed, in pain or panicked, they will need sleeping pills in order to fall asleep.
nightmares
middle of the night character may have nightmares and he wakes up in terror. In this case, he will receive a significant level of panic and stress and will not be able to sleep for the next couple of hours. You can take sleeping pills and/or beta-blockers or just wait until these conditions subside. The chance of having nightmares is almost always and increases if you eat well just before bedtime or go to bed with various untreated wounds.
Sleep in multiplayer
On most multiplayer servers, sleep is disabled. You will also be prone to overexertion, and you can rest on chairs or beds, but you will not be able to sleep, and you never want to.
Other situations
As your adventure continues, your character will not only be thirsty and hungry, but may also suffer from other things, such as anxiety or depression. These effects are called states, can be cured different methods from taking pills to getting what the character just wants. For example, a character's boredom can be relieved by reading a book or a newspaper, or by taking a short walk. Conditions also show current injuries, if any need first aid.
In order to look at full list conditions, their effects, cured or removed, read this article: Conditions.
Death
You are scratched or bitten, and even though you have bandaged yourself you start to feel worse every night.. This, later along with anxiety, is a strong indicator that you are infected, which is unfortunately untreated and fatal. But while your health is deteriorating, you can try to keep yourself in the senses to turn into a zombie so quickly, but even if you have a lot of food, this will not save you. Soon you will be just like them.
Well, or you were very careful for several months, holed up in a shelter with food and water, afraid to go outside. Either way, death is inevitable.
Fortunately, death is not a complete end. After a character dies and the game says how long you survived (beat him if you like to set high records), you can create a new character in the same world and return to the place where you died to collect things or fix your shelter. If this option interests you, then I have some tips on how to make it easier for each new character to play.
Firstly, if you know that you will soon transform, the best way out is to put all things in some kind of container. If your character just starts wandering mindlessly, your inventory is gone forever. Secondly, you can drink bleach to start faster with a new character. If your character dies due to damage, he will leave a corpse that can be found, however, in single player, this is not guaranteed: container the best way where you can leave your things.
Skills
Food and Cooking
Nutrition
At the very beginning of the game, it is recommended to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, especially if they were not found in refrigerators or freezers, as they spoil much faster outside. Alternatively, some of these fruits and vegetables can be set aside for salads and other dishes ( many stale foods can be successfully added to soups, stews, etc. without the downside to boredom and mood). Consider also the fact that some perishable foods spoil faster and some slower. For example, almost any meat in the game becomes stale after 1 in-game day of being out of the refrigerator, while apples and oranges can stay fresh for about 7 in-game days. All found long-term storage products are strongly recommended to be saved for the future. If possible, watch your weight - it should be around 80 kg so that you do not have negative influence obesity and underweight. Since your character will be very active in the first days and weeks, you need to receive about 2000 (or slightly more) calories per day so that you do not lose weight and do not increase it. To do this, eat perishable foods such as watermelon, ham, ice cream, and various pastries in moderation along with other meals. Remember - the less you run and fight zombies, the fewer calories you need and vice versa.
cooking
A well-developed cooking skill can be a great bonus in a zombie apocalypse! By developing this skill, you can get more saturation points from any dish you cook, as well as get more bonus points that reduce boredom and sadness. As mentioned above, you can add stale foods to dishes such as soup, stews, salads etc. For cooking, you will need any heat source (electric stoves, microwaves, barbecues, etc.). Be careful when cooking - an unplugged stove or microwave can burn your entire base! In order to prevent such an unpleasant situation, you can adjust time to turn off your stove or microwave by right-clicking on it and selecting the appropriate option from the menu. In addition, here you can adjust cooking temperature (the higher it is, the faster your dishes are cooked) Heat sources such as barbecues, stoves, fireplaces and campfires require fuel but can be used whether or not electricity is available.
carpentry
During a zombie apocalypse, nowhere is safe. But that won't stop you barricading home that interests you. Some buildings are safer than others. Two-storey house with multiple doors and multiple windows is more recommended. In the event of a break into the house, you can always escape through the window using a rag rope. For maximum protection and stealth, board up every window with boards and sheets.
Between day 0 and game month 2, the power will go out.
Refrigerators will no longer store food and lights will no longer turn on. You will no longer be able to cook food unless on a campfire or on a gas powered grill. Very soon, all perishable food will go bad and you will have to survive on non-perishable food until you can farm, fish, or hunt for food.
In-Game Events
There are currently two random events in the game. Sometimes players can hear gunshots or the sound of helicopters overhead. They both have the same goal: mass migration of the zombie population, and they don't have a specific source in the game. When you hear them, be sure to change the location of the zombie hordes.
Don't be greedy. It is better to clean the house twice than to overload yourself and run out of steam at a critical moment. In addition, some items become useful only after some time,
Don't play hero. Even the most balanced set of perks and equipped luggage will not save you from excessive arrogance. If you see that your shelter is surrounded by a horde, find the strength to go there later or wait elsewhere. Seriously, it's not worth it.
Do not limit yourself to one shelter - organize caches in other places, for example, in houses on the outskirts of the city. So it will be much easier for you to survive the migrations of the hordes of the dead.
Do not be afraid to turn off the electricity, water supply. The biggest nuisance associated with their absence is food spoilage. One box for collecting rainwater is enough, it's another matter if you plan to maintain a garden in the future.
Recently in Project Zomboid it is possible to play with buddies.
And this means that it is possible to return to the cycle of events of this terrible zombie apocalypse.
1. First acquaintance
You show up at the house. And what is visible? Vast expanses, which strive to become yours. But before you go anywhere, you have to search your temporary shelter. Rummage everywhere, make sure everything is reliable: from the stove to the refrigerator.
You have found everything you need. It's time to leave home.
2. Appearance on the street
So they left a warm house and ended up in a cold and, of course, inhabited by any square meter 5 zombies, street. But not everything is not so good. Yes, the world is in the abyss, but this is not an excuse to lose heart.
Try to find yourself a weapon. There are options from a frying pan to an ax. Walk while also pressing Ctrl so that your former neighbors do not see you and decide to make a barbecue out of you.
Find a home that inspires confidence. Be cultured: don't just break down the door, look for a workaround, such as a window that can be opened. Walk quietly around the house, because there may be dozing guests in it, ready to treat you to your own liver or heart. Having noticed a zombie, it is better to double-check - come up and if it rises, then clobber until you lose your pulse.
Search this house too.
3. The house of your dreams
Have you looked at the house? Then run to draw up documents, look for boards in order to make a "euro renovation" and give your shelter a little elegant reinforcements that will emphasize all the gloom of the situation. Where to find boards? Everything is easy here: either find them, for example, in warehouses, or create them.
It is possible to make them by breaking the door or chopping firewood. In both cases, you will need to get a cold weapon (you need an ax) and go to break a door or a tree into pieces.
When the house is furnished, it's time to move on to the more peaceful part - cooking and gardening. Let's start with cooking. For example, you have meatballs. Then we take them and put them in the microwave or oven.
Do not leave your product unattended for a long time, because it will deteriorate, and the house will burn, reminding you of all your suffering for it.
Are you already over 60? And nothing to do? Then start gardening. Not in vain does it exist. For planting plants you will need: a watering can with water, seeds and a scoop.
In order to make a bed, we take a scoop and seeds in our hands. We select the territory and click on it with the right mouse button (RMB), when finished, open the seeds and plant with the RMB button. Now the only thing left is to take care of your plant.
As long as some are sitting in their own buildings and cooking or planting, real brave men go looking for weapons to fight off survivors and zombies. Instruments of death abound. We have a 9 mm pistol, a shotgun, a sawn-off shotgun, a rolling pin, a frying pan, a pencil, a pen, an ax, a kitchen knife, a board with nails, a butter knife, a spoon, a fork, a bat, a sledgehammer, a club, a cocktail and a Molotov hammer. Each weapon has its own power.
Based on this, do not think that you can kill a crowd of zombies with a pencil.
5. Diseases
The world is not easy, because survivors, zombies interfere with us, so it’s also possible to pick up all sorts of sores:
- Poisoning is a standard disease, just like you ate a dead rat or something like that. Sleep, eat, drink and smoke more.
- The common cold is also a very common illness. Sit at home and rest. Look through the books and baldeyte to the fullest.
- Infection is the worst disease. There is no cure (despite the fact that some players claim that painkillers and sleeping pills can help. In order not to get infected, you have the opportunity to wear a sweater, it is harder to bite through, but this may not reflect well if it is warm outside.
Snooper was with you
Successful survival to you!

Project Zomboid is one of the huge indie projects on Steam Greenlight. Its development lasted as much as 2 years, but on November 5, the developers finally announced its imminent release on Steam. Some time...
At first meal time Project Zomboid enough: fruits, meat, fish, canned food, products fast food and much more. But when all the houses are empty, stocks are depleted, and there are not enough vegetables from home beds, it's time to develop useful skills - hunting and fishing. It is best, of course, to start mastering these skills ahead of time, so as not to face the next difficulties as a completely newbie. To check the level or upgrade it, look in the "Survival" section on the information panel in the "Skills" tab.
Fishing
Fishing is best done at West Point, as it is closer to water than Muldro. Keep in mind that over time, the population of fish in a lake or river is depleted, so you need to look for new places and first make sure that there are no zombies there. To get started, you only need a fishing rod and bait. But the choice is large - there is also a wooden spear, as well as a fishing net. And do not forget that for all manipulations with the fishing rod you will need the perk or profession "Angler", or you must find and read the appropriate magazine. It can be stored in a cabin on West Point Lake.
If you are not lucky enough to find a fishing rod, then make it yourself. What’s more, it’s so easy to make it. Using a saw, make a strong stick from a couple of planks. Take a kitchen or hunting knife, one nail or paper clip for a hook and a cord or fishing line. Keep in mind that the line is stronger than the line, and bites better with it. Combine all the components - our tool is ready. The only problem is that during fishing, the line often breaks. When the rod breaks and turns into a rod, fix it with two items: a nail or a paper clip plus cord or fishing line. Hold the rod in one hand and the bait in the other. The action takes no more than five seconds. Got some trash? Well, at least your experience grows and you achieve mastery. The higher the level of the "Fishing" skill, the less often your fishing gear breaks, and more fish gets into your pan.
Experienced fishermen can try other ways - for example, make a spear (Wooden Spear) from a tree branch and a knife (kitchen and hunting will do) and fish like Indians. Or do weaving a special network (Fishing Net) of five pieces of wire and ten coils of cord. The network is placed in the water and wait a couple of hours. In this way, live bait (small fish) is perfectly caught, which can then be used as bait.
The river is not an endless supply of fish. But you will definitely die before it ends.
By the way, about the bait. Live bait attracts only a formidable predator - a pike, and increases the chances of catching the wrong thing by 50%. The most common type of bait is worms. If you have already dug up a garden before, then you probably came across them. Take a garden shovel and - go ahead, loosen the ground. Dial more, because edible things do not always fall into the bait, and the worms swim away from the hook. For example, you can fish out a worthless shoe. Other insects are suitable for this work, namely cockroaches, grasshoppers and crickets.
If you're lucky, you can find fishing tackle (Fishing Tackle), that is, plastic bait, but you should go ashore with them with a more or less pumped level of fishing. With them, the chance to catch a perch instead of a holey sock is much higher, and you can use them repeatedly - you don’t have to collect worms and clog free space in your inventory with them.
Who do we catch? There are seven types of fish in the game. These are Pike, Catfish, Sunfish, Crappie, Trout, Largemouth Bass and Perch. They all come in small, medium and large sizes. The largest fish are pike, 50 to 120 centimeters, the smallest are dory and crappie, 15 to 35 centimeters. The medium size ranges from 20 to 90 centimeters depending on the species, while the large size ranges from 25 to 120 centimeters. One decent-sized fish fills you up for the whole day. The weight and size of the catch are important - if fortune rewarded you with big prey, then you will get more experience points to develop the skill. But this is not so easy to do - large individuals are much more likely to break off the hook, or even break the bait.
Caught prey can be fried or butchered with a knife and turned into a tender fillet that can be added to any dish, however, nutritional points are slightly reduced. If you are too lazy to cook, eat raw fish - there will be no consequences in the current assembly, the same applies to meat obtained from hunting.
As in real life fish bite best at sunrise or sunset.
The features of hunting in the world of the zombie apocalypse are such that every little thing will have to be mined and fry-soar. If at the word "hunt" you imagined a harsh safari-style fishing, then your expectations, alas, will be reduced to the size of a mouse. Yes, we will hunt mice, rats, little birds, fat rabbits and cute squirrels. In general, rodents. What attracts rodents? That's right, cheese and other small snacks. Therefore, we will build a trap and put attractive bait in it. For crafting instructions, read the hunting journal. You can find it in a bookstore, in mailboxes, or on the shelves of cabinets in homes. You can not bother and take the perks "Dachnik", "Hunter", or the profession "Park ranger".
If you are a novice hunter with a zero level of hunting, then try installing a mousetrap (Mouse Trap). It is found in homes, most often in the kitchen. You can catch not only a mouse, but also a rat in it, while the chances of catching the first one are greater. It's impossible to craft it. If you don't find a mousetrap, then make a bird trap (Stick Trap). You will need four strong sticks and one cord. The reliability of the trap is flimsy - only 15%, and the chance to catch a bird is 30%, which is pretty good.
Tired of eating small rodents and sparrows? Squirrels and rabbits are much more fun to catch. If only because there are four types of traps for catching them - snare (Snare Trap), box (Box Trap), cage (Cage Trap) and wooden box (Crate Trap). To make a silk you will need a saw, two cords and a board. Do not forget to pump yourself the first level of hunting before this. The reliability of the snare is 10%, the chance of extraction is 20%. To make a box trap, you must have a second level of hunting and one level of construction. It is done like this: a saw, three boards and five nails. The thing is also not strong - 15%, and the chance to catch an animal is 20% for both species. When you become an experienced hunter and upgrade your hunting level to the third, you will open new opportunity- cage trap. The chance of a successful hunt with it increases to 30%, and the reliability of the design increases to 20%. A cage is made of wire in the amount of five pieces - usually just enough wire accumulates in the game.
You can go into the forest, put up a tent and live on one game. Until the winter comes
What bait to choose? Birds are attracted to worms, which can be dug up anywhere with a garden shovel, corn, bread, and also dry breakfast. Squirrels have similar tastes - she loves breakfast cereals, corn, popcorn, oranges, peanuts, peanut butter. Mice, rats, and rabbits love tomatoes, as well as chocolates, peanut butter, oranges, cheese, and, oddly enough, bacon cut into pieces. The rabbit eats cabbage, lettuce, carrots, bananas, potatoes, corn. All rodents like an apple.
Okay, the trap is ready, but where to install it? The place you put it in plays a big role. Since mice and rats live mainly in the city, place mousetraps near the houses. And freedom-loving, juicy rabbits and squirrels live in the forest, so go there, just don't forget where you put the snare or cage. The most important rule here is to avoid places where zombies hang out and where corpses are piled up. Check the trap often and add bait - it may suddenly disappear from it, some cunning animals eat it without falling into the clutches of death. It also happens that the trap is broken. It is also worth visiting the trap because if an animal falls into it, it will attract zombies, so do not place them near your base.
And remember that the level of hunting is needed not only to open access to a variety of crafting gizmos. The higher the skill level, the stronger your traps become and the more animals fall into them. So do not neglect pumping after three points.
Hunting and fishing in the world of the zombie apocalypse is profitable, as it is an almost inexhaustible resource of nutritious protein. But if you want to get food in industrial scale, then you will have to take care of growing food in the beds. Our next guide will focus on all aspects of farming.
1. first acquaintance
You show up at the house. And what is noticeable? Vast latitudes that strive to become yours. But before you go anywhere, you are expected to search your fleeting bunker. Rummage around, check everything from the stove to the refrigerator. You have found everything you need. It's time to leave home.
2. Appearance on the street
Here they came out of the warmest house and landed on a cool and, of course, inhabited by every square meter of 5 undead, a street. But not everything is so bad. Yes, the world is in the abyss, this is no reason to lose heart. Try to find yourself a weapon. There are species from a frying pan to an axe. Walk while also pressing Ctrl so that your own former neighbors do not see you and decide to make a barbecue out of you. Find a house that inspires confidence. Be cultured: don't just break down the door, look for a workaround, such as a window that can be opened. Roam silently around the house, as sleeping guests can become there, ready to treat you to your own liver or heart. When you see the undead, double-check it more correctly - come up and if you get up, then clobber until you lose your pulse. Search this house too.
3. The house of your dreams
Have you looked at the house? In this case, rush to draw up documents, look for boards to make a "euro repair" and add a little stylish fortifications to your shelter, which will emphasize all the gloominess of the alteration. Where to find boards? Everything is very simple here: either find them, for example, in warehouses, or make them. You can make them by breaking the door or chopping firewood. In two versions, it will be necessary to get a cool weapon (preferably an ax) and go to break a door or a tree into pieces. Once the house is set up, it's time to move on to the most peaceful part - cooking and gardening. Let's start with cooking. For example, you have meatballs. In this case, we take them and put them in the microwave or oven. Do not leave your product unattended for a long time, as it will deteriorate, and the house will burn, reminding you of all your suffering because of it. Are you already over 60? And nothing to do? In this case, start gardening. It is not for nothing that he is. For planting plants you will need: a watering can with water, seeds and a scoop. To make a bed, we take a scoop and seeds in our hands. We select the area and click on it with the right mouse button (RMB), then open the seeds and plant with the RMB key. Now the only thing left is to take care of your plant.
4. Weapon
While some sit in their own buildings and cook or plant, the true protagonists go to find weapons to defend themselves from the survivors and the undead. The instruments of death abound. We have a 9 mm pistol, a shotgun, a sawn-off shotgun, a rolling pin, a frying pan, a pencil, a pen, an ax, a kitchen knife, a board with nails, a butter knife, a spoon, a fork, a bat, a sledgehammer, a club, a hammer and a Molotov cocktail. Each weapon differs in its own power. For this reason, do not think that with a pencil you can destroy a lot of undead.
5. Diseases
The world is not easy, as we are hindered by survivors, undead, and besides, all sorts of sores can be picked up:
Poisoning is a common disease, you probably ate a dead rat or something similar. Sleep, eat, drink and smoke more. The common cold is also a very common ailment. Sit at home and rest. Read books and enjoy to the fullest. Infection is the most terrible disease. There is no treatment (however, some gamers say that painkillers and sleeping pills can help. In order not to get infected, you can carry a sweater, it is more difficult to bite through, it can also have a bad effect if it is warm outside.
6. Ending
Guys, follow the rules written above, I would like to announce in conclusion No way do you hear? Never leave the stove switched on unattended. Successful self-survival to you!
Start over
Project Zomboid is a very realistic zombie survival where every minute can be your last. Didn't stock up on food death. Bitten by a zombie death. I cut myself and forgot about it - death. Did not lock the door to his shelter - death. And so it can go on for a very long time. From the very beginning, the game greets you with the phrase: "This is the story of your death." This game is remarkable - you have to keep track of everything in advance, which keeps you in suspense all the time. The zombie has no plot, no mission for the player other than survival until…until you die. So if you are a fan of such topics as "Walking" you will like the game, because here you can literally experience what the heroes of comics or TV series experienced. In case you don't like zombies, you can turn them off and play the game based on " Last Man on the ground". Explore the surroundings, collect provisions, and just live out your days. Speaking of exploration, there are two decent maps in the game with small towns where you can go to each house.
The Zomboid project is in early access. And as you and I know, some games in early access are forgotten, as developers stop releasing updates and actually don't finish the game. The population of the Indie Stone office is not one of them, these people release a news blog every Monday about the latest updates, innovations and ideas for the future, or briefly Dev (developer's blog) blog - called Mondoid.
On March 14, Indie stoners showed in the form of a kind of trailer what they will strive for in the near future. To begin with, the game will acquire full-fledged three-dimensional models, as well as at times more animation. Under such conditions shown in the video, the game will become an even more realistic zombie apocalypse survival simulator..
On April 4, the developers shared with us both news and a beta version of new models in Zomboide. Below are screenshots of build 33 and beta build 34.
You can see for yourself how the game has changed.
Before:
After:
How you feel about the new drawing is up to you.
Introductory for those who do not see the difference between the 2013 version and today's.
Two and a half years have passed since the appearance of PZ on Steam. During this time, a lot of new things have appeared in the game. Starting with multiplayer and new (at that time) animation - ending with TVs, radios, the ability to move furniture, etc. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Players who bought the game at the end of 2013, and played only then, will now run their eyes and make a couple of full turns. For which the indie stoners thank you so much.
And here's what you can find fault with them. Back in the summer of 2014, we were promised transport and NPCs. Which was evidenced by another mondoid . Yes, a lot of time has passed since then. Such cardinal innovations would benefit Zomboid. But there is room for improvement. Well, we are waiting (such a frequently used for early access games).
In addition to the changed graphics, the developers have introduced several changes. I will list only those that stand out from the rest.
-For starters, they changed the capacity of some crates and containers.
-The freezer now goes separately from the refrigerator (but not the fact that it freezes food better)
-Also introduced for some reason detailed specifications products: calories, proteins, fats. Thus allowing the player to follow the figure of his character.
Show picture
-The ability to dig with your bare hands, while the game is not responsible if you break these very hands.
-Now you can change the server settings in the game.
-Barricade is now possible on both sides of the door/window. From now on, zombies will need twice as much time if the window is completely barricaded on both sides.
-You can move rain barrels.
-Well, and a few new items such as pasta, gravy boat, etc.
Translated Mondoid
Hello everyone, a lot of all sorts of technical stuff happened this week. We have a few snippets of information on how progress is being made in various areas.
Animation work in progress
Everything we have done so far you can see in the recently implemented beta 34.14.
We are also thinking about animations related to the moment when the player at speed will knock down zombies or pass through bushes or trees. Such a gameplay change will greatly simplify the player's life, as it will be possible to simply break through the zombies.
Our next step is to change the texture of the characters and zombies. At the moment, the skin textures are two mirrored halves. We are going to get rid of this principle, which will allow us to create more detailed zombies. We want to create more blood texture overlays on clothing and skin.
Co-op mode update.
The new build also affected co-op. We still have problems with inviting friends, but at the same time, improved functionality for the server is already ready in 34.14.
metalworking
We recently discussed this topic, after which we changed our minds, re-recorded, re-repeated our plans for dealing with scrap metal. As mentioned earlier, in build 34 we will add separate skill branches such as working with metal and smelting. All this will allow you to make metal products yourself. For example, a metal fence and metal furniture. We haven't decided how things will work out yet, so there's a lot to discuss here.
And finally, here you can appreciate new version our map with improved sprites. Because of what it exceeded in size by 4 times.
Also here is a link to the original.
