Personally, I don't care about NPCs. If I want to play with other survivors I hop on server. It seems like a waste of resources best spent somewhere else. Love the game & hard work, but IndieStone seem to have gotten themselves into a bad spot, because if they don't deliver on promises their reputation will be destroyed, and the longer it takes the bigger the hype/risk. NPCs are taking forever, vehicles will take a while, too. People get very angry about long development times lol. At some point you need to constrict your goals, accomplish them, fine tune them...move on. Some of the best games could've been more, but succeeded greatly at what they were.
