The only way to kill boredom so far is by reading books or magazines, that's not bad, of course not. But not everyone in the post-apocalyptic world would read books to entertain themselves, even knowing the fact that literature is the easiest way to create entertainment. The survivors could find some other ways to pass the time, of course that some of these ways could be more difficult to achieve. The main idea is basically introduce an actual use for these 4 items: Earbuds, Headphones, CD player and CDs. It's obvious at this point what is the use that I'm implying for these items. There could be the function to "upload" music to your game, with the basic data to put in a CD(band name, number of songs, name of songs and their respective duration). The CDs would spawn in the world, with each one containing a individual album or recopilation of songs. The CDs are reproduce by the CD player that could only need one battery to run for 4-6 hours, and both the earbuds or headphones are used to hear the music. Listening to music would lower your boredom but also make harder to hear sounds of the ambient, and it could get even harder with higher volumes. The portable game console could be also charged with batteries and used to play with, but while playing it will emit noise. (I think that this one was already suggested, in that case if the suggester is reading these please note that I'm not stealing your idea, I only don't remember your username ). Aditionally, dolls, teddy bears, bricktoys, cubes , yoyos and spiffos could be used to play and lower both unhappiness and boredom. Also writing in journals or in any similar objects could lower your boredom. Furthermore, while playing or reading more than the necessary could generate "joyful" moodles that increase slighty your XP gain. But if you overuse a certain entertainment item your character could get bored of it and then getting again a bored moodle.

Music has arrived Hello community Zomboid, greetings from Venezuela. After a long time, since I dedicated myself to making this project a reality, today I bring my idea to reality shows, music as an element in this post apocalyptic environment. Note: these are (SPRITE), created to be used as decorative elements in the creation of new buildings to the game, the moments are only visible in the TILEZED. Well here are the sprites that I created to decorate my buildings, is a varied collection of musical instruments, equipment and decoration, I hope they are to your liking https://www.dropbox.com/s/yjlj46jsgs5miis/00ATOX-Wall%20Acustic.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcae2bs17qjcbjq/00ATOX-PZMusic.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/drnow6je46jslo2/01ATOX-PZMusic.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ybmmlkvk00z53x2/02ATOX-PZMusic.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/p2axyxmf41v8azm/00ATOX-Poster.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zo0u2ydjqecvt4m/01ATOX-Poster.png?dl=0 I want to thank Suomiboi sprites in your post (Gun gun racks and counters), they saved me the work to put the guitars. These are the buildings that have created using these decorations. https://www.dropbox.com/s/14qsmb2epyqv4o3/Tienda%20Estudio.tbx?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/umkp1enbcnoebnj/Musical%20Bar.tbx?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/37xd3kikol25ldq/PZ%20Music.tbx?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/te4fvqj67glrul6/Disquera.tbx?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7cygmyedr1u4n8f/Garage.tbx?dl=0 Well enjoy my work, I hope to have my custom sprites visible in the game someday, but meanwhile if you want to decorate their homes, shops, music stores, bars among others, have total freedom. This is all survivors greetings.

Salutations! I have an idea to customize the game slightly. It just involves editing sprites and replacing some of the game's sound files. But I don't know where to begin, I took a look through the files in the steamapp/common/project_zobmoid folder but I don't outright see images or sound files. Like maybe I wanted to make a Randy Savage zombies mod or something (I don't but... I'm reconsidering). Anyway, I hope you can help! Have a nice day! EDIT: I Found the sound files with a little digging around. If anyone else wanted to know its C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\sound . But I've run into a problem... Most of the files are "Ogg Vorbis Files". Most of the zombie noises are .wavs though.

I was playing the game when a thought popped into my head,"Oh my god, spanish guitar would fit this PERFECTLY! It fit The Last of Us well, didn't it? So why not this!?" and so that's the story. Just some dramatic depressing spanish guitar to fit the atmosphere of the game.

So this was just a spur of the moment idea. It hasn't really been thought through fully, just figured I'd get the idea written down here and perhaps someone would find it interesting. How about instruments? To use as a way to entertain yourself. It's a RISKY way since it will make noise, perhaps attracting Zeeks. But the entertain-value will be higher than the usual, perhaps book. And for each time you played an instrument you would get BETTER at it. So for each time you use it, you won't play as clumsy and loud and the entertain value will increase even further. Just throwing it out there. As someone who has studied music, and plays it a lot on the free time, this would be an awesome implement. As I could imagine it being something I would do myself if this would happen in real life. (I tell myself at least. But surely, it would be something viable in large encampments! Where the danger isn't as HIGH.) Anyways yeah, just putting it out there if someone finds it interesting

A volume slider to level out the music/in-game sounds ratio would be nice. After the 4th/5th attempt, I'm starting to depend on hearing the tell-tale banging of a zombie trying to get in. Sometimes the music overwrites that sound trigger and distracts the immersion. I really dig the music, I think it adds a lot. I love that it's not on a continuous loop. The music is definitely part of the brand now, but I'd like the option to mix it into the experience.

Hello all! I'm Bideo Wego http://bideowego.com I'm pretty stoked to announce my first game release on Kongregate. I only uploaded it a week ago. Mo Ritmo is a rhythm game for flash player and is completely 100% original and my creation from the art work, music, to the programming. I wrote it in As3 using the flixel framework. And the music was created using FL Studio for those wondering. I've left it completely open to add levels/songs as it downloads them dynamically as well. So the game is expandable even while it is being played in its current state! If you are a trance/electronic/pumping beat music driven rhythm game lover. Go ahead check it out! http://www.kongregate.com/games/BideoWego/mo-ritmo Feel free to check out the promo too I'm already considering using Phaser for an HTML 5 version of the game as well as Cocos2d for an iOS/Andriod version. ANY suggestions on how to improve the game are welcome! Hope you all enjoy! Feel free to post comments, would love feedback! And check out my website in the description link of the play page!

I would love to see an iPod or an mp3 player in game that could play music from your own music. Maybe it could give you decrease and also increase in some moddles. It could be charged off of a portable charger that takes batteries. I hope one of you brilliant modders will take this idea into consideration, thanks. :cool:

(Firstly sorry, for my bad English, I am a Hungarian Survivor) Hello and welcome survivors, and game developers (I hope they're reading it. ). I am a Musician, I learned Piano for 6 years and after that, I started to learning Jazz/Blues Gitar, and nowadays, I'm making some music with my computer, and with my piano. If the game need some new music, or, need a determined musician, I'm making some music with Depressing and Post-Apocalyptic atmosphere with great joy. I've already made some music,noises, you can check them here: https://soundcloud.com/sickrat/ I hope you enjoy them. So if the game need some new songs let me know My email adress: blashius@velvet.hu

Pretty much as title said, I like the soundtrack but there is times where I want to play while I'm watching something on the other monitor and the thunder from the soundtrack is blowing out my ear drums. I know this is only in the menu (using "M" when in game) but sometimes it takes me a little longer to plan out my character Muting the whole program from windows is not an option as I do use the sound effects in game, alarms and meta game heli/gunshots are loud enough to be heard while listening to music or whatever. Atm I am in fact muting and unmuting the whole program until game starts but it just seems silly.
