lemmy101 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Also bear in mind that, if the Gods are good and we nail a couple of issues we're working on, you'll hopefully have West Point before the Mondoid goes live, so perhaps worth not asking questions about that.

Ontogenesis Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I would like to hear TIS's position on incest as per that other thread - can you morally allow the human race to become extinct if you could stop it? Is this going to be a relationship option for NPCs? nasKo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmy101 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 datkid, for the umpteenth time, we've suspended all NPC development, as per our Mondoid a few weeks back as well as the latest Mondoid, and we'll not resume it until we're on Steam. This is at least the second time I've specifically told you this on the forums too. Latest Mondoid: We’ll continue to polish and optimize the interim builds until they can be updated on Desura and released on Steam proper. At that point we’ll start releasing beta builds with the 3D engine, at that point hopefully quite mature, as well as NPCs and other much awaited features.

Suomiboi Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Have you planned on what will be your next larger endeavor after NPCs and the 3D stuff is in? Or in other words, do you have somewhat a linear plan on what you will be doing in the more distant future, or is it a scramble? Mash: How did the run go (presuming this is answered on monday or sunday)? And also what's the next map project you'll be working on, now that's West Point is done?

tazyload Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Have you guys considered some form of "roadmap" to show the community what your goals are and the order you'd like to achieve them? Of course I realise this wouldn't be set in stone but it would be nice to see and could show what you'd like to achieve leading up to Steam release and beyond.

makkenhoff Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'd like to add to the chorus of people asking for a long term release plan of sorts, not because I feel it is of great importance but because I'd like to see what ideas are already planned, even if they do not pan out in practice. This would also stem some of the repeat questions (as forum goers could post a link to already answered road map questions) and hopefully it would lead to better thought out Mondoid questions. Personally - I've an interest in the more hard side of survival (water, weather, wildlife, willpower, weaponry) so for me, besides dealing with zombies you've got to deal with the aftermath of the breakdown of civilization, and I'd like to explore that in a totally safe environment, clearly mods could tailor this experience as preferred but I wondered how far the default game intends to go. It could easily be classified as a base game skill "survival knowledge" as many books exist on the subject with combinations such as bleach and water, traps such as a snare (cordage) or dead fall (Heavy Object and Trigger), and "rough" weaponry for hunting that could easily be turned on another human or zombie purposefully or accidentally.

EnigmaGrey Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'd like to add to the chorus of people asking for a long term release plan of sorts . . .Won't happen. Too many little wars have been fought around this one topic and concessions made to its effect to allow it. Too much anger and hate and misunderstandings when goals change or aren't reached in an "acceptable" time-frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insanehuman Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 1. Has working on Project Zomboid been more stressful than you expected and has it been worth it? 2. Is there a bunch of secret features that you arent going to tell us about and make us find them ourselves? nasKo, Tango and Seustace89 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasKo Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 I got one. Will cities get more dirty and represent that the outbreak already happened? I noticed people mentioning that the map still seems too clean or not grim enough for the setting and I kinda agree.

bogdanm Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I've lost touch with the development of the game so I have a few questions. Is PZ moving to a new engine? The screenshot in the Mondoid article was taken with the new (3D) engine? The visuals look identical to what we already have in the game. In the article released on the 14th it says Westpoint is almost finished and very close to release(1-2 days). Has it been release since then? I don't see it as a starting location so I assume it wasn't. I'm not rushing anyone, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoIvanov Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 What do you plan the pricetag to be for Zomboid once it hits early-access on steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladedsmoke Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I have some questions! Two, to be precise. 1) Looking WAY in the future, I know you're keen to implement vehicles of some variety, and I think that's going to be increasingly important given the sheer size of the map & distance to West Point. What pitfalls/hurdles can you foresee with implementing vehicles - what will be very difficult to do, or even impossible to do? And if you've thought about it yet - which kinds of vehicles do you think you'll implement, and why? 2) Let's look to the future again. After the new engine stuff has been done, and this build has been polished and put up on Steam, and work on the NPCs resumes... What little feature is each individual member of the Indie Stone most looking forward to working on? I'm hoping for a more specific answer than just "the NPCs," if possible!

Dr.Gigglestein Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 A) Any plans for feral dogs/ escaped zoo animals, Clowns, or other non-human, non-zombie enemy types? B) How's the the newest Tilezed coming along....? C) Any exciting secret concept ideas you guys are happy to start working on soon? (booby traps, electricity generator crafting, military, or other planned soon to start being created content?) D) How is every member of TIS so good-looking?
