Longer Radio Broadcasts

[Joshnpk]

Radio broadcasts should last for 14 days and not 7 days (The main stream ones). Love the idea but the problem is the first week is often the time where its hardest to spend any length of time listening to broadcasts as you tend to be pretty desperate for shelter/food/tools etc. Having the demise of humanity play out over a two week period would give more time for the player to listen and get immersed but also more time to flesh out the story.

 

Would be cool if the hidden broadcasts lasted much longer as well. Maybe after a few months you could find a broadcast every night at 9pm for a limited period of a guy documenting his struggle to survive, an the things that have happened to him as a way for him to cope but also to warn others or something along those lines. You could write lots of little story's (lets say 64) of survivors or news presenters who've not got the sickness etc, and have it so a set number of them (16 for example) could be able to be discovered in the game at varying points through out time. Would make things much more interesting but would also give more of a reason to use your radio/ham radio after the first week.

 

I understand that a lot of this could be changed through mods due too that WorldZed thing, but the lore and story isn't quite the same if it's not from the devs.
