lemmy101 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The mighty and ridiculously talented Tim Baker, aka EasyPickins, is now a fully fledged member of the PZ dev team. Hurrah! It's been on the cards for a while, since he's done such wonderous work on the tools (that you lot have yet to see but you'll be amazed), but after he revealed his 'side project' which basically amounts to PORTING THE MAJORITY OF PROJECT ZOMBOID TO C++ (missing the lua integration particularly which mean in itself this isn't something we can run with without abandoning the modding) his ridiculous talent and genius needed snaffling up proper immediately. I mean, I was literally just playing a C++ version of PZ (missing UI / farming / loot and all the other stuff that comes from lua) He'll be the official tool and engine honcho at Indie Stone towers, and will be working toward making a C++ native rendering engine using the stuff he's been working on, that in the short (ish) term will hopefully provide a tasty FPS boost, and in the long term will pave the way to the new 3D engine, as well as continuing his amazing tool support, and hopefully generally contributing to the usual bug fixery and additions to the game if it tickles his fancy. Congrats EasyPickins! Or should we say, congrats Indie Stone! Our bad luck with events and set backs with the game are more than compensated for our ridiculously good luck when it comes to talented people falling onto our lap, from Zach, Paul, Romain, Kirrus, nasKo and now Tim, and that's before mentioning all the modders and moderators and everyone else who make us what we are. Love you all! Walther, blindcoder, Spaniard and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyPickins Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Woah, yes it happened pretty suddenly. Gotta get the game code and get cranking on a hopefully faster rendering engine. As I told lemmy, I'll probably remain the quietest of the bunch however. Guess if anyone should put these in it's me!
