please move the gong sound from before the game starts loading to when the "Click to Start" text appears - ... and for good measure, make it audible even if the game is minimised. my personal reason for this is that, I usually leave the game loading in the background since it takes so long for it to load, due to the immense amount of mods I have in my game lol - needless to say, it takes a while to load, and I sometimes even forget that the game was loading, to begin with. having a sound play as soon as the game is ready would be a good quality-of-life addition that I'm sure would be appreciated by a large number of players.

Here are the things I wish to see in future updates. (Some of these might have been in the game and I just didn't noticed ) 1. General Mechanics and Realism -Proper Sleep and Resting Animations -Loot Sheets from Beds -Craftable Pillows or Sheets -Craftable Bags/Sacks/Rucksacks -Lie Down on bed/Sit on chairs to rest -Sit on any surface slightly higher than the floor or on any seat-like object like boxes or furniture -The character must find the closest object to lean or sit on when resting and not just stand there for hours like a maniac -Rain should soften and destroy cardboard boxes -Proper Animation when using shower and bath tubs to clean self -Zeds randomly attacking other zeds -Make items 'visible' on pickup truck container -Pockets on clothing as small containers - this should be craftable as well -Exploding Tanks/Fuel Containers -Improve the appearance of dropped loot -Peeking through door peep holes or small holes/cracks on walls -Trees should fall as fallen trees, this should block the pathway, fallen trees can be chopped down to logs using the axe -Trees could fall naturally over time or if there is strong wind or if they are partially chopped by the player -Pouring Cleaning Liquid on glossy floor should make it slippery for both player and zeds -Dismemberment 2. Abilities -Leaning on walls and peeking on corners -Throwing stuff to make noise -Throwing weapons on enemies -Setting up traps -Going Prone/Crawling -Dual-wield: Use primary and secondary weapons simultaneously - like pistol on the right hand and machete on the other -Create Bonfire using pile of trash or dry leaves in the woods. Make trash/leaves pile using rake. -Expanding vision using mirrors: Facing the mirror should make the behind visible or strategically placing the mirror on walls to make you see around corners - you get the idea 3. Crafting/Building/Furniture -Dragging furniture across the floor for quick blockage of passageways -Use tabletops and furniture surface as container like the chairs on vehicles -More Non-Glass Window Variation -Fixed and Movable Ladders -Building Underground Bunkers -Living Potted Plants -Craft improvised light source from car batteries and lightbulbs -Adding Pillows and Sheets on Couches of Beds to slightly increase bed quality -Somewhat realistic plumbing and wiring system -Wind make curtains/sheets on open windows/doors move: this should also affect visibility

Yes, this is a Wish List but i think it could help to improve the game. - Crowbar only works like weapon, but its primary use should be as window or doors opener. I don't know the coding mechanichs of opening them, but crowbar could make a little improvement. I think that also could be added lock picks. There is a thieve profession already in the game, so it should not be very far from the ambient of the game. Ok, before the apocalypse you were a decent person, but in this dark days you need to learn how to get in that houses without alerting every zombi in a block around, dont you? - Bleach only seems to work us suicidal weapon, but the rain water collected turns poisoned after i while. So, it is easy to purify. Also should work for cleaning blood stains or decompose zombi rotting corpses. Returning to the water, in any survival kit you would find some purifier tablets, maybe some filters. - Berries only gives food and some of them can poison you. I was a little disappointed when I saw the didn't have any extra efect. They could work as some of the drugs you can find (betabloquers, hipnotic, pain killers), with some little boost efects. It would give the game more fun. You can prepare yourself before doing some things. They could be by simply ingestion or need some preparation, like a berry tea. Also other herbs (forraged stuff) or spices (found in the kitchens). - Clothing its too plain. I mean it gives you a temperature protection, but IMO could be a great terrain of improvement. Some examples could be shoes: running shoes with a little improve to the sprint hability, soft shoes with a little noise reduction for stealth players, hard boots with a little injury resistance to feet located attacks (especially from crawlers, you know, that creepy bastards), etc. In the same words leather jackets shouldnt be so difficult to find and could give a little armor like boots, also weather protection. Rain-coats or plastic ponchos against getting wet, etc. You can see a poor hobo making himself a rain poncho with a garbage bag with some holes. I dont mean avoid it, but delay it perhaps. There are some special working tissues that give protection against cuts for workers, and so on. Also a climbing harness would be helpfull, I hate to broke my legs when repairing the house. - Rotten food. They say the Devs are preparing farm animals. Well, they usually are feed in this way. Also, rotten food is a very good ingredient for making compost, what reminds me that we need a compost bin, could be done with recipe and carpenter and agriculture levels. That compost bin could recicle also zombis corpses too. - Toys don't have any effect. They could have a recreational use that could fight the boredom or the sadness. - Traps are too dificult to build because sometimes the recipes simply don't appear in your map. So you have a lost hability. A good posibility could be zombi traps. I have mentioned in other thread, punji traps are a classic that could give a use for that wooden spears: We could have them in holes or use stakes in the base of the walls to prevent the zombis to get them. Also could be some alarm-traps, like wired cans that alerts you when zombis cross the line, very easy to build. Other traps could be made with the mirrors that nobody uses, like zombi atractors or reverse scarecrows (something that calls zombis attention till they destroy it). - Worms. If you are not in West Point they are simply useless. Oh, well, you say you can eat them, but at what cost. Ok, lets make them useful to the compost bin said above. Or let's go beyond, what about other bugs for fishing bait. Some recreational (jar of fireflies), some useful like bees, beehive, honey and wax that could be forraged. - Spirits. The whiskey bottle has three uses, but lacks of the use as fuel. Also would be nice to have an alambic to brew alcohol. We are in Kentucky, for Brooks' sake, it may be in some backyard hut hidden. - Fishes could be breeded and farmed, in home aquariums or fishing tanks. You would need a high fishing level also, but it shouldnt be imposible to acquaculture them. I have another things in my wish list, but don't exist in the game by this momment. - Bow and arrows, Crossbow and bolts. Slingshot. Some handmade, some found. I have read they are a possible Yes. I hope it is true. It is very unrealistic that you can make stairs, furniture, primitive axes, and can not make a simple bow. Or to think that in a small town of the US surrounded by woods you won't find any hunting bows or xbows somewhere. - Nail gun. For carpentry and as a gun. Ammo would waste the precious nails. - Irrigation hose, or something like that. Come on, there are very simple leaking systems that anybody with a little agriculture knowledge could make. - Machetes. Need to say anything else? C'mon, what is a zombi apocalipse without machetes or hatchets? What to say about the iconic katana. Who does want to see the zombi apocalypse if you can not do it with a katana? There would be to types. Wall-hangers (decorative reproductions), are easy to find in teen-agers rooms, decent damage, quick attack, bad durability as a kitchen knife. In the other hand, a hard to find item would be a real sword, aka "battle ready", difficult to find from collectors, pawn shops or sports asociations, with good damage, quick attack and very good durability. - Compass and/or some kind of maps. They should not act has a minimap. Instead, it could give you the posibility of marking a place and would give a signal indicating it when you go away. - Riot gear. I can't believe you can not find some riot shields, batons or riot vest in the police office. Also light-flares or smoke-flares. Night vision device would be also in police office or in hunters houses. - I should not mention the silencer or supressor, but I think it is not so bad idea if making them requires a high gunning level and/or recipes. They would not be suitable for all weapons only for pistols maybe. And they only would reduce the sound, not making them silent. - Other things I miss from the game are the posibility of recycle for making small things, like nails. Also habilities like tannery for the future hipothetically hunted animals fur. - Aerogenerator also should be a good item, and can be made by anyone with a little electronic skill. Maybe solar pannels could be from the pre-apocalypsis. - Last words for taming animals, companions and so on. They say the Devs ... but you know, we the customers would appreciate this feature confirmed . Also, wild feral animals, to hunt and to fear. They don't need to be "zombificable". A wild animal is a risk by itself. They should have a AI that gives them the ability to escape from any noise. I have read about a lot of good features but they are other people ideas and I have commented in the respective threads. If i have good feedback from this post I have other ideas to share, but only if the community likes the previous. Thanks for the game, it is very good. I only want it to be better in the future.
