I think it'd be cool to be able to place stuff on tables. Like guns, etc.

YES. I've always hated how blood splatter floats (or appears at all) on fences. Same with certain signs on broken windows

In terms of zed scenes, I would think of stuff like police roadblocks or dead firemen and fire trucks surrounding a burnt-out house. But here's a good one: A group of dead Spiffo's employees, with at least one wearing the Spiffo suit, their bodies circled around a lone Spiffo plush doll, surrounded by candles and bloodstains. It's the aftermath of a cult that formed in the zombie apocalypse, worshiping Spiffo.

Whoever you got to record that female scream, she deserves a raise. That was bloodcurdling.

I just wish the game had basements so you wouldn't have to put all those buildings on big hills, it looks so unnatural

To me, it makes no sense how you are somehow able to just pour a bunch of dirt on a concrete roof and suddenly bam, you've got yourself some crops. I think a more logical step would be implementing planter boxes, like raised garden beds so you can grow crops on roofs or on concrete/non-soil surfaces. Plots, planters, boxes...anything like that would be more immersive and make more sense.

I think there's a mod for that

More defenses too. Concertina wire, junk walls, wooden spikes, makeshift barricades...the vanilla defenses are just bland.

This is quite nice, I'm looking forward to it. Any chance we'll get to see more options for defenses? Concertina wire on fences, junk walls, real furniture barricades, spikes, etc?

The question now is, will they remain unbreakable? Because having indestructible garage doors can make for a pretty OP safehouse

Great work guys, but I have a question: will you be making new animations/sprites for broken doors? It seems kinda weird how they just turn into planks and door knobs with no residual damage or anything. Maybe they should be splintered or torn down or something. Also, any plans to add additional/more varied defenses such as plywood boards for windows, concertina wire, overturned furniture, spikes, etc.?

YES! New fire effects! I hope smoke comes with it

1. Gimp suit - for when the zombie apocalypse doesn't make you horny enough 2. Gas mask - wouldn't be a viral outbreak without some HAZMAT style facewear. 3. Period appropriate clothes - it's 1993. I wanna see some Pearl Jam T-shirts and Doc Martens. 4. Poncho - because you've got the crossbow, the motorcycle, and the fangirls. Now all you need is a piece of fashionable Navajo outerwear. Or maybe it's just raining. 5. Horse mask - sure, it predates the meme by ten years, but this is Kentucky we're talking about. 6. Sportswear - Go Wildcats! Or Cardinals! Or whatever. 7. Duster - what apocalypse would be complete without a badass longcoat? 8. Overalls - for the redneck inside all of us. 9. Jean jacket - what if we made pants for our chest and arms? 10. Zombie skin suit - you know why.

Makes sense (Btw if anyone gets that Menagerie joke without googling it, you get an owo from me)

Quite a few Spiffos there, huh? Unless The Menagerie '93 is in town, I don't think there would be that many. I do like the soldier with the Spiffo head and tail, though. Also seeing a lot of jockeys, so I'm guessing you'll be involving the Derby at some point. If there are no novelty horse masks I will be disappoint.

935. More variety of defenses. We should be using concertina wire, wooden spikes, plywood sheets, junk walls, makeshift barricades. We should be able to knock over a wardrobe and shove it up against a door. I know we sort of have a system like that in place but it's not implemented well. The vanilla defenses (like log walls) are bland. We should also be able to barricade low fences to prevent zombies from climbing over. 936. If a player has low construction skill when boarding up windows, the planks should be nailed in a haphazard and messy style instead of the neat, one-on-top-of-the-other style that's currently in place. 937. Big trucks, like tankers and eighteen wheelers. Even if you can't implement their cargo, they should still be in the game. 938. Better smoke and fire effects. If possible, fire should have more varied sprites and smoke should rise up in the air and flow with the wind. Fire currently looks dull and boring. 939. Car fires. Cars should be able to catch fire and burn depending on their integrity. 940. Zombies should be able to be dismembered (such as decapitations with an axe or blowing off limbs with a shotgun). 941. Building physics. Buildings that burn down or are otherwise destroyed should be able to collapse and lose walls, floors, and roofs. For example, if you knock out the walls of a house with a sledgehammer, the house should collapse on top of you. 942. More variety of tents and sleeping bags. You've seen them in Hydrocraft, but really they should be a vanilla item since they're such vital survival items. 943. House fires should be able to spread from house to house depending on weather, the surrounding area, etc. It should be feasible to burn down the entire neighborhood with a single fire that's left unchecked. 944. Occupation-specific spawn items. Depending on your occupation, you should spawn with at least one or two corresponding items. For example, if you play as a construction worker, you should start with a hammer. If you play as a cop, you should start with a pistol and maybe a key to the police station. 945. Lockpicks. No more having to bust down a door or break a window if you've got the tools and the skill. If I think of more I'll add them.

I'd love to do that, both in game and IRL. And I'm a guy.

I'd still like to see a wider variety of defenses implemented, such as plywood boards for windows and makeshift barricades using furniture or junk. That being said, I love the work you guys are doing and look forward to seeing more improvements made in the future.

I think the problem is that most of those suggestions are copyrighted, and including them in a commercial product might not go over well. There is a subtle reference to Bill Clinton being the President, and most of the technology is period appropriate. I don't think the devs should go overboard with the 90s imagery to make the setting feel more realistic.

Honestly I like these more than the vanilla wreck models. The current models all look like they've been firebombed (and the devs haven't really explained why). This looks far more realistic. I hope you'll add it to the Steam Workshop.

I've always wanted to do a PZ machinima (at least, when the game's more developed and things such as animations come out). I figure it wouldn't be too difficult, given the text-based dialogue and isometric camera angle. But the game currently doesn't allow for much creativity when it comes to visual storytelling. I could use multiplayer but that would take a lot of time and effort, plus I have no friends who play PZ (or friends in general :P). So I think it would be cool to add a machinima mode, kinda like creative mode where you can direct and program certain events to happen, certain characters to do certain actions, etc. Just something I thought would be neat.

Two things I've noticed: 1) The sounds of doors opening and closing is strangely quiet 2) When editing maps, the blue symbols are green That's all I've noticed so far

Are any of these new additions going to impact performance? I haven't played in a while, and I play on an HP laptop that has been able to play zomboid decently in the past. I'm just worried that all these new additions (including the mythical anims build) might make zomboid unplayable for me

Me when animations finally come out: (only joking, don't get your knickers in a twist)
