    Why, certainly.

    - I used to collect dolphin themed items, but I don't anymore.
    - I have a patch of skin without pigmentation. Like I'm 1/167th albino.
    - Um...something about crochet.

    New Dawn RP Server [Build 30] [RP] [whitelist] [PVP] [vanilla] [24 slots]

    in Servers

    Posted

    I've decided to step down as head admin on the server and will instead be a regular player from now on. This is partly because I need to free up time for other projects, and because I miss playing the game, which I haven't had much time for in the last few months. :)

    I've left the server in the capable hands of admins Pann and SuperJack. I'll continue as a regular player, and occasional consultant.

     

    For more info please view the full news topic I posted on the community site.

    The current server has been closed and a new server will open in it's stead, and more info about this will be posted on the community site as well. This thread will probably close too, with a new thread opening when the new server is up.

     

    Thankyou to the awesome New Dawn community, to all the admins, and special thanks to the developers for making such an awesome game with such great roleplaying potential. I really look forward to roleplaying in the game again. :D

    The server is back up. We're not sure of the full extend of the damage yet, but it will take some maintenance before the server is back to normal.

    The reason no one could log in was because the port was changed back to it's original - please check the community site and/or first post to see the updated server info. :)

     

    There will be some changes in how we run things on the site as well, and some added measures for security. These updates will be posted soon in the news section of the forum.

    Hi Karen! I have played PZ only in single player, and i am italian, (not good english language)....

    Can i play in your server? Or I must know the English language very well?

     

    P.S. How are regulated the options of the Multiplayer? (Example: there are the options of Sandbox in MP?)

     

    Thanks in advance

    Heya Body Builder,

    Everyone is welcome to make an application, we will give you feedback and let you know what you can improve in order to hopefully be accepted. :) Being an English speaking server, it is a requirement that you can communicate in and understand English - both so you can understand others, others can understand you, and so we know you understand the rules.

    As for the Sandbox options, we have zombie and item respawn set up (things respawn a bit too frequently right now, which we'll try to balance better for the next update ^^), the zombies are default setting except they have high toughness, and each day is I think 2 real life hours.

    As the requirements of the server change with an increasing player base, we're constantly balancing it and thus the sandbox settings are always subject to change.

    This does look pretty awesome, maybe a bit too awesome to be true.

    Kickstarter is enveloped in so much darkness that I don't trust it anymore. It's the same thing with Early Access.

    The only reason I opted to support Project Zomboid is because those many years ago when I played it for the first time the game was already fun, and honestly aside from some bugs it felt like it was nearly finished; I grabbed the game and had a ton of fun with it, even watching other people play it. The fact that it has come to what it is today and that it's still moving forward at a very good pace is a great bonus :D but really, even if PZ were to die down today I've already had more than my money's worth out of it in enjoyment. -- Can't say the same about a game that looks more like an art piece than anything else.

     

    It'll be interesting to see where it goes from here though.

     

    Side note: I'm still waiting to see where Star Citizen is going <_<.

     

    Cheers!

     

     

    Star Citizen was actually my first thought when seeing the video for Identity. The two games seem alike in how they both aim for very high visual realism. And they're both incredibly pretty games.

    I've backed Star Citizen and had my fun sitting in my ship and making "vroom vroom" noises (yes, my ship makes those noises. Shut up.) before the arena module was out. I wasn't too fond of the arena module when it was first released, but I got hopes for the social module. I dunno, the game is just hugely nostalgic to me since I loved the Freelancer game and Star Citizen wants to potentially be the next step from there. But like with any other funding project, there's no saying if it will be realized the way the creators want/proclaim, or even at all.

    With backing there'll always be the chance that you're flushing your money down the toilet, so I can understand why people don't want to do it. At the same time I think it's an awesome opportunity for people who want to stay independent, are loyal to their creation and their backers, and know how to plan well even for when crap happens.

     

    If the Kickstarter for Identity had started say 2 or 3 years ago, I probably would have backed without blinking, despite finding it all a bit suspicious, since I love that kind of games, have always wanted to try them since my earliest gaming days, and am so psyched that anyone is making them. But right now, with games like Star  Citizen, DayZ, and other semi-realistic be-there-yourself games, my corner is filled - we've reached a point where there's not just one, but a LOT of the games I always wanted to play. So I'm actually really happy, and I love Kickstarter and similar platforms for this possibility, even if you have to know how to dodge the dodgey ones, and take the hit when a project fails.

    So in short (this turned into a rant, sorry), I will keep an eye on where this is going, if nothing else then just out of my general curiosity in the market. :)

    Watches the video, looks very promising and also very high-quality graphics for a game that's only been in development a few months.

     

    And while I'm also really agreeing with the sentiment of MMO's having lost their way and becoming little more than repetitive rollercoaster rides, I'm wondering how they will force the roleplaying aspect of everything. How will they stop immersion breaking 14 year olds running around shouting penis at everything?

     

    I guess it could be monitored with admins and private servers, like they do in other roleplay-centric games, but yeah, I would like to know more about what they are planning for that before I put my cash there. I looked around but didn't really find an answer to that question.

     

    EDIT:

    Also, they say in the FAQ that "should we meet our goal here on Kickstarter, we'll have everything we need to ensure that Identity gets completed."

     

    But in the comments they also say this:

    "Sorry, I'll try to be a little more clear! Should we reach our goal of $150,000 here on Kickstarter, that won't be enough to develop the entire game but it will be what we need to begin fulltime development immediately. We have a few publishers who we're talking with now who can carry us the rest of the way, but ideally we'd love to be able to continue funding the project from crowd funding as it would give us more control.

    You're doing both, really. By backing us here and now you're getting the ball rolling and giving us everything we need to continue to completion."

    So, I'm guessing the Kickstarter money is to make enough of a prototype to approach and convince other funding options/seek more crowdfunding? Are they sure that those publishers they have contact with will carry them the rest of the way, and if so, why crowdfund at all? I dunno, I feel like I'm not entirely sure how they plan to spend the money and see this game finished. Maybe I missed something.
