Pezi Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 So "roadmap" is "West Point", "Iso Revolution", "NPC"? (With regards to major things anyway)What's the prio on split-screen multiplayer? Not saying it needs work, I'm just throwing questions out there. The more information the better I think.Also, where are NPC's at now? Are they still at the same level as before?http://projectzomboid.com/blog/2013/08/mondoid-bloomin-mondoid/Or have you been working on them "half an hour here, half an hour there". Saw lemmy yelling at "datkid". Sorry for not reading everything before posting >.<Also I too, as does Suomiboi, would like to know about Mash's run, and what her plans are after West Point! I'm usually there (at the marathon) as a volunteer but this year couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathlord Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 As far as the roadmap goes, it will likely be West Point -> Iso Revolution = NPC's (at roughly the same time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooks Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I ask this all the time so its probably already anticipated but... How is progression going in balancing the dragons? Will they be soloable?Also I noticed during a certain someones live stream some west point buildings have been named after some esteemed members of the the community. Are these one offs or will more of us be emblazoned for eternity in our favourite sandbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir.twiggy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Without giving too much away, do you have any idea of how many professions do you definitely want in the game? No need to name them We like surprises nasKo, Particles, Gammlernoob and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniard Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Any timeline on when split-screen will be mostly kink and glitch free?So far, my girlfriend and I have had a blast playing together using the latest steam build (Starting as Administrator on Executable, after finding the PZ game directory, has been key for playing split-screen). It's an absolutely blast, but the games are generally cut premature due to a game ending bug or another. On top of strange interface errors, the mouse is essential to both players interface, and often times we muust wait turns to loot/use our inventories to avoid interference. Almost always, things would go awry if we tried using our respective inventories at the same time. We both love the game, and it's a bunch of fun single-player, as well as split-screen despite the bugs and kinks. Glad to be part of the process.

Rathlord Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 For the time being split screen is a bit back burner. They've got some important stuff coming really soon on the horizon. Hopefully after we knock out a few of the big pushing issues split screen can see a nice rework and polish. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Shivster Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I watch almost every lets play and stream for zomboid i can find. The zombie streaming problems are out of hand on every video i watch. I have put plenty of video links up to show what is happening with the zombies. They are attaching themselves to roamers and zombies chasing people. I know some big things have came up and it has been put on hold but it needs to be fixed. I have personally watched 4 youtube videos die because of this bug and only 2 left that are playing it on a weekly bases when they used to play it daily. So my question is. When can we expect a fix for the zombie streaming bug after west point and the iso revolution or after npcs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboMat Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 So my question is. When can we expect a fix for the zombie streaming bug after west point and the iso revolution or after npcs? No ETAs. When do we get to see the Modding Tools (Map editor and Sprite / Character editor)? No ETAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathlord Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 To amend RoboMatt's answer, some work is being done on zombie spawning even with all of the crap going on right now. No idea when/if it will come to fruition, but don't think the issue has been forgotten. That's probably the best answer you're gonna get from me or the devs XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivster Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks Rathlord. I was unaware of the fixes as i am unable to play the interim build. well i can but i cant stand the stuttering on my AMD cards. Most LPs i watch are on the non beta/Interim steam version.

Rathlord Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I'm not sure it's in the interim build to be honest. I've gotten a bit... lost... with all the versions. Lemmy might well have more to add, though, and I shouldn't speak for him so it's still a viable question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seustace89 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 1) How much is planned for actual survival techniques in the future? I trained with the Royal Marines for 6 months and we did a survival exercise in dartmoor where we met survival experts (super human tough lads) where we was shown things like solar stills, creating fire with just sticks and strings, making shelter out of whatever was around, killing and preparing a chicken with your bare handstand, purifying dirty water naturally... the list continues! 2) is wind going to be implemented into the weather system? because that plays a challenge against survival and moral! That's speaking on experience with wet clothes on a winters night! And surprisingly on a summers night with wet clothes...3) does TIS know how truly awesome PZ really is? nasKo and LeoIvanov 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathlord Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Seustace89, as far as your first question goes, I'm sure they plan some of this stuff for the future but do keep in mind that in PZ you're meant to be an 'average' person and most people don't know how to make things like solar stills off the top of their heads. On the same 'survivalism' vein, I have a question: Any plans to add a hatchet and/or a 'real' knife any time soon? A knife is the most basic survival tool, and the most important one that it's possible to have. LeoIvanov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorpickle01 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 This is probably too late now, but sod it:1) I remember ages ago someone saying that a rewrite of the code you have done might allow for sloping terrain. Any progress on that? If not, would you consider the old xcom trick of weird shading on flat tiles to give the illusion of 3D terrain and adjusting vision accordingly?2) Why haven't you got a community hub running on steam? comon dudes!3) Are you going to add more dragons?

lemmy101 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 2) Why haven't you got a community hub running on steam? comon dudes! Cos we can't have a community hub until the game is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Particles Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 So, like...who is your favorite spice girl...seriously though? Favorite member of Hansen? How about how much money have you guys collectively spent on plush beanies? Now obviously i'm not the only one looking for answers to my burning questions but if there is room I must know.

dida55 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 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. Are the Gods good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinchisters Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 1)How will the metagame work late in the game? Will the NPC's farm, create new bases, etc. And how will NPC's that are on your team deal with custom made buildings and bases? Is the AI adaptive in that sense?2)Will we see new guns like an assault rifle, revolver, hunting rifle and more? Will there be weapons that are only lootable from fallen soldiers that were sent in to contain the outbreak? nasKo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
