oh boy, those sneezes sound SO gross and sopping wet xD

hasty lynx
#

horrible, a game with so much repercussion to have such a ridiculous, pitiful progress. I can't pretend that everything is fine and come here to praise the ridiculous progress that this game has made, I've been a player for a decade and I can't wait for new content anymore.

vestal charm
#

and the coughs sound really good too, I wonder if more people on the team should also record sneezes/coughs for a better...assortment of sounds rofl

#

not every game studio has the manpower of uhh

#

i was about to say cd projekt red but

#

we really should not compare cp77 to anything even remotely good

#

im just happy there's some progress and frequent dev blogs, i can wait, its not like pz is the only game on the planet

#

plus modders take care of all sorts of short-term content drops

hasty lynx
#

I love the game so much and I think the proposal is so good that I get angry at the slowness of development. Compare with VEIN for example, an indie game from a small team that in a few months has managed to easily implement almost all the mechanics that PZ has. The development of PZ is sad and tired, with no other explanation...

willow kestrel
#

ok

hasty lynx
#

we waited 336 hours to say "we recorded new moans here" hahahaha it's a joke. I also wish you good luck and that you really don't feel sorry for investing the money that was raised.

spare smelt
#

336 hours?

#

Where are you getting that number from?

hasty lynx
spare smelt
#

...

Do you really think thats all theyve done in two weeks lol

#

They dont show everything that they've done across the two weeks in every update

#

Its just a general snapshot of whats been worked on

#

From what we've seen, an important modding tool has been made, animal behavior is being worked on, randomized basements are still being worked on, Blair is working on the Blair pile(trademark pending) and yes, they've also been working on more sounds for the player character to make

#

it would be easy to shit out some minecraft level animals that dont do anything but walk around randomly and pop out a baby when fed, but thats not how pz does things

#

yeah, development is slow but the game is more than worth the 20 dollars as is, so I dont see the problem.

Hell you said that you've been playing for almost a decade, that would mean you probably only paid like 5 dollars for it, yeah?

#

You're effectively getting free content and complaining that its not coming fast enough

hasty lynx
#

yes, I've been playing for a decade and even today my character can't sit on a chair without using an external mod.

spare smelt
#

so?

autumn orchid
#

that's a shitty argument cuz you can also do a lot more shit that you couldn't do 10 years ago

north marlin
#

The game is fantastic as is.

autumn orchid
#

nobody disagrees with slow progress

#

but being able to sit in furniture is hardly a gamechanger

#

(the mod u mention also uses the anims that TIS made lol)

spare smelt
#

Like if the game wasnt playable right now and this was a fundraiser you backed or something Id see your point

But you bought a product, you knew what it was when you bought it, afaik, there hasnt been any false advertising anywhere

hasty lynx
#

I'm not saying there was some false advertising, I'm saying the progress is way too slow for such a successful game. And it's ridiculous for you to try to defend the developers hahaha because in more than 10 years we've had enough time and money to be able to make the character sit on a chair, or to add a chicken to the game. Aside from the 3D makeover, we haven't had any major changes my friends. Just cars and a few firearms, and nothing else. You keep walking around the map and killing zombies and eating canned food, since 2013, with nothing much different than that. No innovative challenges or anything like that (excluding the modding community, which really keeps the game alive)

spare smelt
#

Louisville, Riverside, March Ridge and Rosewood were all added to the game post 2013

Multiplayer is kinda a massive update as well

autumn orchid
#

Aside from the 3D makeover, we haven't had any major changes my friends.
Should have known you're not serious lmfao

#

go download build 14 and see how much fun you'll have

#

same game basically

hasty lynx
#

oh yes, I'm crazy, project zomboid adds amazing new content monthly, it's not the same since 2013 hahahahahah

#

laugh all you want but you cant laugh away that your wrong

#

being disappointed with the slow progress is all fine no need to make shit up

willow kestrel
#

Why are we acting like its the only game in the world really

#

If you burnt out then leave, no need to spin up drama about it

#

With mods theres so much content that its overwhelming at times

#

Im personally fine with pz as it is now, and if i get bored at any title that gets frequent (free!) updates i just quit, leave it on my disk or uninstall and come back after some time

hasty lynx
willow kestrel
#

Id rather have it this way than pay for every single expansion or 3d model, its not like we're forced to play it 10h a day

autumn orchid
#

you're talking about the base game loop how do you not realize you are making one bad point after the other

#

actually just torrent build 14 or one of the pre-steam builds and check how fantastically wrong you are

#

mindblowing

hasty lynx
#

I'm just saying that I haven't had relevant gameplay news for over years (since the cars and weapons were released)... that's all, and you know I'm telling the truth.

autumn orchid

yeah dude build 40 and 41 just didn't happen

#

The amount of respect I have for the devs to go out and shout other teams out for Labor of Love is great. For plenty of reason I love the dev team so much, even if development is a little slow, I honestly don't mind all too much.

normal hull
#

excited for official basements

#

I've been eschewing the basement mod because I wanted to wait for the real stuff

#

(perhaps someone more well-versed in the mod can inform me if that is a good decision)

#

regardless, animals have never really been a massive concern of mine – their non-presence doesn't offend me overly and their ongoing development leaves me somewhat interested but mostly passive – though the new sounds are awesome and I'm pumped to hear about more general content like weapons and food items

#

just those little niche details like more types of canned food or more blunt objects to twat zeds over the head with adds a ton

What are you talking about. What did we spent more than 30000 hours on lol

hasty lynx
deep bear
#

dw im not ur friend

stray current
#

We've already made the animations for sitting in furniture. The mod uses them, as pointed out further up.
The issue is that 2D furniture would need proper masks to hide aspects of the 3D characters when they sit in them, like hiding appropriate parts of the back and lower back when they sit in a chair facing north, etc. That's pretty insignificant and while we realize it can add to the immersion, it's also pretty low on the priority list due to the work that'd be involved for little pay-off. We'll get to it eventually.
The notion that the game didn't change since 2013 is laughable, as is the implication that we somehow spent 30000 hours on something insignificant, but you're entitled to your opinion. I don't know where you get your information from. You've been pointing out that we've had investors on before, and never elaborated on how you got that impression. You'll have to excuse people being cynical towards you when you make wild claims in order to justify being disappointed with the pace of development. People have already told you they agree and that's valid criticism. Nobody is arguing with that part.

deep bear
#

yeah i dont get the "nothing's changed since 2013"

#

it's not like the game should get an entire artstyle overhaul, other than that there's been many many things added to the game

hasty lynx
stray current
#

They did not call you a bitch

#

Not sure if it's a language barrier, bitching is another word for complaining.

#

And what I assume they meant by that is the thing I just pointed out

#

Not that you're not right in your base complaint

deep bear
#

nasko the true question is, why u gotta make the thursoid blog titles suspicious

But that you're wrong in your justifications provided

deep bear

# stray current But that you're wrong in your justifications provided

sure, as I said, it's my favorite game, and whenever the news blog comes out I create a lot of expectations. Yesterday it was very frustrating to read ''we recorded new moans'' and basically nothing else. But I apologize for the inconvenience. About the game not having changed since 2013, I mentioned that the only changes I felt were the refurbishment, cars and weapons. The rest were just details that don't add content (for me)

deep bear
stray current
#

You also have to realize at this point we're mostly only blogging about things that we've worked on AND that are going to be implemented in the foreseeable future. There's little point in us talking about content that is not going to be in the build that players are going to play on next, unless we want to give a glimpse into the future as part of the roadmap.

Throw away the notion that every blog is an entire listing of things we've worked on since the last blog.
That's what people in here have brought up too, maybe I've misread but you seemed pretty dismissive of that as well.

You've made your point and the entire thread about it. Again 😄

#

Not sure what you get from the constant back and forth bickering to be honest, but as long as it remains civil, I guess it's whatever.

tidal flower
#

The game is 20 dollars and regularly goes on sale for 12-13. There’s an insane amount of mods with amazing integration, an almost endless amount of free content. Bitching about progress is dumb. Thank you narko and the other devs for this game

deep bear
#

to be honest, 20 dollars is a steal for this game

I don't fight with anyone here, and as the new content takes all this time, I keep my hype with the news that is shown, and when there is no news, I share my upset here, but that's ok. I'll keep it to myself, I understand that I'm not the only one who agrees that development is slow, but I understand that I'm the only one who feels affected by this, as I can't enjoy any other game. Me as an old player, maybe it's time to forget about PZ a bit and let the new content take as long as it takes, I just hope I can play the new build before I die haha

stray current
#

That'd be healthy, yeah. There is no game out there that would be able to hold my attention for 10 years 😄

void rock
#

if you get bored and want new content, maybe it's time to take a break for a little while

#

playing just one game all the time is gonna just make you resent it, not appreciate it

hasty lynx
#

One thing I can't agree with is the strategy of holding ''all'' content to drop in a build. At least one new car or weapon could be added monthly. I know there are mods but it's not the same thing as official content, anyway... just to leave the final considerations, I think the game is wonderful and it's undoubtedly the best I've ever played (if it sounds like I'm trying to defame the game, it's not like that at all).

stray current
#

We've been over that too

#

We've never been holding content to drop it all into the same build

#

Build 42 will evolve on the Unstable branch much like Build 41 did, and receive updates with the content we've been mentioning over time.

#

I've explained that to you last time I'm pretty sure

deep bear
#

yeah i can't wait to go onto unstable when B42 is on it

#

i can finally actually do husbandry which is awesome

stray current
#

Plus I don't know how adding a car or weapon every month would really do much for you, considering your criticism has been that we didn't add meaningful content.

Well that was a rollercoaster of a read

#

Honestly if anything I get excited with each Thursdoid...

So far we know the team is working on a liquid system (!!!), a very complex animal breeding system, new fire system, basements(!!!!!!!) and also removing the cap of the max floors a building can have, from my understanding the map will be expanded, NPC's are in the work too, a new niche modding tool and many many other things that I prolly can't remember from the top of my hat

(Also correct me if I got any of those wrong)

#

There is a lot in the works rn and many are beefy things that are worth the wait imho. Hell I even got excited about the fake dead zombies and the maggot spawning 😂

i hope that when B42 comes out into unstable, and i get to play it

i hope i can finally actually do a lot of cooking cuz of the animals, cause i've been wanting to do full on cooking in PZ for a while but certain ingredients just rot

#

so it'd be nice to be able to cook a lot more

also i wonder if they'll add hostile animals such as bears and wolves that are hostile to you

i kinda hope they do cause i'd love to hunt some bears n stuff

does anyone have any confirmation about if wild-life will be added

such as physical rabbits and deer?

however the new fluid system looks very odd in a good way

#

seeing as you can mix different drinks into one bottle/glass

#

the way the keys will work also seems really nice

keys making actual sense rather than "lure zombie into house" is way more immersive

fr tho i wanna have hostile wildlife in the woods so i have a reason to go into the woods

ripe oyster
#

IMO it would add some more fun to the woods

deep bear
#

yeah it would be so nice, and having hostile wildlife only makes the hunting experience cooler

#

as you'd need to be careful with what you try to hunt and where

ripe oyster
#

I love the idea of other threats other than zombies

deep bear
#

yeah me too

#

but to be completely honest

#

i dont think TIS will let us down, so far what they've shown is amazing

#

and i'm sure they'll add more animals over-time if they won't all get added instantly

#

and i'm also sure nasKo wants to add wildlife because he likes giving us pain in a realistic way so yeah

#

ok that last sentence is a lie i cant say for sure but i dont doubt it's planned

if they add blacksmithing or something then yea maybe
