[hot quiver]

yeah that is so baller

new muldraugh overhaul

[latent mulch]

8k yeey

[finite turtle]

Just how massive the map is (like low taper fade) is just crazy

[hot quiver]

and new town too

[finite turtle]

Two new towns

[hot quiver]

i hope when b42 comes out map mod makers will also overhaul some of their stuff as well

[latent mulch]

3 no?

[unreal sentinel]

ITS OUT

[finite turtle]

Maybe, I remember 2

[latent mulch]

I think it's 3

[hot quiver]

lies

[finite turtle]

Me when my pants are on fire

[latent mulch]

die

[indigo bane]

DON'T DO THAT

https://tenor.com/view/yes-excited-gif-22851753

[hot quiver]

you know it's a lie because there's no ping wave in the announcements

[finite turtle]

!roadmap

[finite turtle]

Ur my biggest opp meloncat

[hot quiver]

💀 this dude

[indigo bane]

That's a good reason for me to block your messages

[finite turtle]

Nah it’s funny

[unreal sentinel]

84%

[indigo bane]

Ye that's why i won't do that

[hot quiver]

84% full of shit more like

[finite turtle]

And we lowkey gave them the attention 😔

[unreal sentinel]

it went down to 40% after you posted that bros...

[finite turtle]

The chaos they tried to make came true

[hot quiver]

lol

[indigo bane]

social experiment

[hot quiver]

down to 40% shit and up 60% of hot garbage

[finite turtle]

Do you think any of the indie stone members actually play the game in their free time

[indigo bane]

not that much

[hot quiver]

most devs don't really play their own game much

[unreal sentinel]

no

[hot quiver]

they're too busy working lmao

[finite turtle]

I know baph loves barotrauma

Peak game btw go play it

[hot quiver]

no friends

[indigo bane]

They litteraly play this game all the day

[finite turtle]

Sureeeee

Me and my friends estimated the indie game store has made about $30,000,000 since release

Selling 10,000,000 copies for $20 each , considering steam tax of 30% and people buying during sales

[unreal sentinel]

yeah for a persumably smallish team they probably have made bank off this game

well deserved

[finite turtle]

What do they do with the money 😭

I hope it’s for the hawk tuah coin

That’s a real thing by the way

Holy guacamole

[unreal sentinel]

in reality most of this probably gets reinvested back into the buisness, im guessing they have an office with high rent

[finite turtle]

They don’t have an office or hq I don’t think

[unreal sentinel]

also buisness taxes on that income will be eye watering

[latent mulch]

and with all the new resources they hired too

[finite turtle]

All employees work around the globe

[latent mulch]

noiseworks and the voiceovers stuff

and the official translation

[finite turtle]

All the sounds in Zomboid are those free ones

[unreal sentinel]

they do have an office in the UK

[finite turtle]

Nothing wrong with it tho

[finite turtle]

Yeah makes sense they gotta keep the servers up

[unreal sentinel]

[craggy crescent]

erm what the scallop

[finite turtle]

I’ve never read this once

Not one word

Maybe I should to make sure I’m not selling my rights

[latent mulch]

I bet the password for b42 is hidding somewhere in there

[finite turtle]

I can’t wait for multiplayer optimizations in b42 once it’s out . No more desync

[limber idol]

*significantly less desync

Gotta leave room for lag

[hallow fog]

just finished my daily scroll to see the devs ball torture the community. The daily "yes" or "no" to give them sweet release.

[eager wyvern]

I can't help but think this is Hide the Pain Harold.

Hi Mechanics!
Happy holidays to you all! We are disappointed that we couldn’t release the next big chapter this year as we originally planned. There is still work and fixes left to do to reach the standard we’re proud to deliver. That said, we remain confident it will be worth

Twitter · Dec 13, 2024, 4:24 PM

B42 wins the race

[limber idol]

Not yet lol

[proper dirge]

Ok I guess we're gonna beat the hallodoid record

[indigo bane]

Trust tis

[pallid onyx]

B42 before Christmas?

[indigo bane]

sure @pallid onyx

[ember crane]

lol. PZ does well but not "9 figures" well

[ebon wind]

Next you're gonna tell us revenue and profit are different things... Get real Pat, we know you're raking in billions every second

[orchid wolf]

The ciphers posted by Nasko on December 9th are not arbitrary; they are intricately designed as part of a larger, calculated strategy orchestrated by John Zomboid. Every element, including the developers’ names, holds significance—likely embedded with coded messages. These distractions are deliberate, directing our attention away from a deeper truth that John Zomboid is orchestrating behind the scenes. It is essential that we remain vigilant, as the surface details only reveal a fraction of the complex scheme at play.

But those ciphers are crucial. Their design suggests a deliberate pattern, pointing to a deeper purpose. John Zomboid, along with Pat, is playing a game of mental chess, crafting cryptic clues to guide us. Both are orchestrating a complex web, drawing us in while obscuring the true meaning. Build 42 isn’t just an update; it’s a puzzle we haven’t yet fully grasped, crafted by John Zomboid and Pat to keep us on edge.

So, until Build 42 drops, don’t eat. Don’t drink. Stay alert. We can’t afford to be distracted by anything trivial, not until we finally get the answers we’ve been searching for.

[unreal sentinel]

thats fair, I wasnt sure how accurate that source was, just random googling; thanks for the clarification

[devout valley]

You've made 1 billion million dollars

[indigo bane]

TIS 2 hours ago

[white marten]

Does that account for sales and the cut steam takes though?

[indigo bane]

release in 6 mins

5*

[karmic glade]

Someone read the tea leaves from the steamdb

[mild orchid]

release of death in 3 minutes

[indigo bane]

2 mins

[white marten]

It would actually be funny if they release it at exactly 24 hours after uploading that build

[indigo bane]

@white marten here we are

still no update

[white marten]

[copper oriole]

I am once again asking the community to be patient

[indigo bane]

We are patient, no violence, no scream, no cries @copper oriole

[native bronze]

drop build will when developers stop pushing new code. validate their creation before release they must yes yes

[copper oriole]

What’s this?

[round loom]

Depots page from steamdb

[unreal sentinel]

ITS

[copper oriole]

The wait will be worth it 🙏 just like build 41

[round loom]

Quite the activity since yesterday

[indigo bane]

no updates today guys, finally PAT was not lying

next week will be the one

[copper oriole]

I have played this video game since 2012. I waited ages for B41 and I will wait for B42

[indigo bane]

2015here

[covert loom]

been playing PZ since 2017

[snow nimbus]

2011 👋

[hot quiver]

started earlier this year lol

[orchid wolf]

How long was the wait for b41?

[indigo bane]

oof

[earnest stirrup]

I didn't played it assidualy but I remeber the story mode 😎

[indigo bane]

i'd say 4 years, i don't remember

[snow nimbus]

❤️

[earnest stirrup]

Scary and sad 😢

[orchid wolf]

Actually?

[mortal kernel]

it's quite the activity for some time now but it got intense in the last 24 hours

[limber idol]

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-pc-meme-matrix-codes-gif-16730883

[earnest stirrup]

Pat is loading a lot of lore stuff!😎

[stable bison]

If we all sacrifice blood upon the altars of Asmodeus, the build will be released today.

[indigo bane]

well we got information about this update in 2015-2016 i think

[mortal kernel]

go ahead, do it

see what happens

[indigo bane]

so it depends on when you are starting the timer @orchid wolf

[snow nimbus]

2015 was when they first talked about it in mondoids

[indigo bane]

ye

but i don't know exactly when the development of the update was really active

maybe 2017

[snow nimbus]

That was mostly B41 stuff though

Specifically the animations

[pallid onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-annoyed-eyeing-cat-meme-cat-funny-gif-14867130448325066479

[stable bison]

The first I remember hearing actual solid facts about B42 was 2020. If I recall correct, they initially said it would include both animals and NPCs, and later divided it between 42 and 43.

[pallid onyx]

4 years after...

[orchid wolf]

Thx

[deep field]

If I ask very nicely would they drop B42

[pallid onyx]

Yah

[deep field]

I’m sure they will

[stable bison]

Send pizzas to their homes, and give them encouraging thoughts, and make sure they know that we know they're hard at work by having the delivery people provide messages like: "We know where you are" and "We know what you did"

[snow nimbus]

Yea that was the bulk of it, and when it was officially announced - but I do recall seeing a deer they were working on LONG LONG time before they did that

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[deep field]

“You’ll never be alone again. I’m always watching you”

[snow nimbus]

It was officially announced in.. 2022? I believe

[limber idol]

or pull an Old 4chan and have a windmill of peace and tolerance made of black olives.
(I AM JOKING)

[stable bison]

Yeah, that sort of friendly verbal encouragement helps people know that they're not alone in their struggles.

[pallid onyx]

Blud knows

[ebon wind]

I'm curious—if these news discussion channels didn't exist, where would you all be? Scribbling theories in a notebook and leaving cryptic messages?

[deep field]

@Lemmy Please can you release B42 tonight? Much love xoxo

[stable bison]

I'm doing that right now, I can multitask.

[deep field]

Don’t worry guys. They’ll definitely listen to me

[pallid onyx]

xoxo

[mortal kernel]

I remember the same, some animals were teased very briefly in one or two blog posts in 2020 or 2021 but I think full production started in 2022 after b41 stable was finished

[ebon wind]

You know what, that's on me for doubting y'all

[stable bison]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-gif-18564553

[limber idol]

That's a lot

[snow nimbus]

Numbers are high mostly organically this time

[pallid onyx]

Why

[latent mulch]

yeap, true messages now, not spam

[snow nimbus]

People are excited

[limber idol]

"Mostly organically"
Did someone mass spam with a bot on an older one?

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[latent mulch]

it was a brazil invasion🇧🇷

[stable bison]

No, an older one used non-organic pesticide treated machine produced posts. The posts here are freerange.

[snow nimbus]

There was mass spamming in the last one before it locked

[limber idol]

F

[latent mulch]

THERE WAS A REASONING THOUGH we had to reach 10k messages or nasko wouldn't release thursdoid

[snow nimbus]

There was a guy spamming the same gif over and over lol

Haha 😆

[pallid onyx]

Makes sense

[mild orchid]

what if we're playing a gacha on discord, where we need to get a certain number of messages to unlock the next stage (build42)

[latent mulch]

i'm betting that we're gonna have to reach 42k for build 42 but NasKo hasn't said anything yet

[latent mulch]

exactly

[snow nimbus]

We didn't reach it

[latent mulch]

WE DID but they locked the thread and it ended up somehow deleting the last 200 messages

[snow nimbus]

[pallid onyx]

Yeah I think that's the key

[drifting vale]

People are already delusioning. Thats what b42 its doing to our minds.

[snow nimbus]

Probably because they banned the guy spamming that gif and it deleted his 200 messages lol 😆

[latent mulch]

lol could be

[white marten]

This seems to imply they're getting ready to push the update in the next few days

[latent mulch]

yess they're doing updates every 20-30 minutes or so

https://tenor.com/view/cat-work-typing-hardworking-funny-animals-gif-11990450

devs right now:

[indigo bane]

they're pushing SI branch every 5 min, maybe SI stands for Software Integration or something

[stable bison]

See? Cryptic notes:

[ebon wind]

Gravity falls cipher identified

[stable bison]

I think it's Storefront (or Steam) Integration (or Implementation)

Or Iteration.

[orchid wolf]

What is it anyways

[ebon wind]

It stands for Something Interesting. This was revealed to me in a dream

[indigo bane]

there is also si2siharder

[stable bison]

Cryptic.

[indigo bane]

https://tenor.com/view/even-harder-michael-scott-the-gif-25464162

[orchid wolf]

Yes

[snow nimbus]

Si has been their internal development build for as long as I can remember

[ebon wind]

Stands for S'not Internal

Alternatively, So Internal

[indigo bane]

there also testing that they use for a long time now

[snow nimbus]

The yes build

[old flint]

My guess is sometime next week we get it

[stable bison]

But hey, Build 43 did come out today, of Terra Invicta.

[old flint]

I’m going to guess Wednesday

[white marten]

My opinion the branch titled "thesearetheendtimes" is the most likely indicator that they're wrapping the update up.

[orchid wolf]

That’s been there for a while

[stable bison]

If it's not today, it'll be either next Tuesday or Wednesday or at the time of the January Thursdoid.

I mean if we want to be optimistic, we could hope that they'll release it next Wednesday, follow it up with an early December Thursdoid, because they're going on their own Christmas break.

[white marten]

No more Thursdoids.

[pallid onyx]

[indigo bane]

4 days i think

[white marten]

I think they're going to release it this weekend.

[orchid wolf]

I think it’s been a few weeks

[deep field]

I doubt it’ll release today but it would be amazing if it did (I fly out next weekend for holidays and won’t be returning until jan)

[white marten]

It makes the most sense - it gives them a full week to iron out major bugs/game crashes, then they can take Christmas week off as they should imo.

[indigo bane]

indeed, nvm sorry

[orchid wolf]

How can you check?

[stable bison]

https://tenor.com/view/a-man-can-dream-though-sigh-futurama-professor-farnsworth-gif-14501112

[latent storm]

I think yall might be underestimating how long it takes to iron out large bugs

[indigo bane]

i just check the history here and search the name of the branch

[latent storm]

Granted with the amount of testing done I don't think there will be many, but still

[orchid wolf]

We’re just being optimistic

[deep field]

It depends. Are you starting with the antenna first or the legs? And how hot is the iron?

[orchid wolf]

W

[white marten]

What I mean is - if they don't release it this weekend I think it won't be until after Christmas.

[indigo bane]

do not forget this

and i'm not talking about the woman

[stable bison]

I'd be pleasantly surprised if you're wrong, but overall I agree that if it doesn't come today, it's probably not coming until January. Probably.

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[white marten]

I hope that I'm wrong, but I don't see the devs releasing the update with just a few days before Christmas break. I'm also assuming they're taking Christmas off - at least a few days of the week.

[orchid wolf]

What’s this

[pallid onyx]

[stable bison]

That's why I encourage blood sacrifices, so that the gods may be in our favor and bring us a winter solstice bounty of Project Zomboid.

[quartz plume]

i remember a bunch of people in the modding server speculating it was going to come out soon because there was a bunch of activity on steamdb - that was nine months ago

i don't think there's much point trying to gleam information from it, it always looks busy because the game is infact in development

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[indigo bane]

i asked nasko to send the released date with Zodiac code

[ebon wind]

Well? Did b42 come out?

[orchid wolf]

W

[white marten]

It's fun to speculate is all.

[orchid wolf]

You get anywhere with it? @indigo bane

[pallid onyx]

It says it all

[indigo bane]

"Sometimes in december lol dude" @orchid wolf

[white marten]

Although about 9 months ago, I think that may line up with when they expanded the testing group to the closed testers?

[orchid wolf]

Thx

[ebon wind]

You decoded the cipher wrong. It had an exact date and time

Go check your work

[stable bison]

What we must each do, is build a 6 story ziggurat in Project Zomboid. Atop this ziggurat, you must perform rituals in blood, slaying large numbers of NPCs from the Bandits mod atop it. You can also write the word "Please" in zombie corpses.

[indigo bane]

@ebon wind indeed i just checked, it's 13/12/2024 at 19:35 UTC+1

[pallid onyx]

[ebon wind]

You mixed up the year and the day. He meant it's coming out on December 24, 2013

[indigo bane]

Anyway it's not a good sign if they are pushing code now, it won't be for today guys imo

[orchid wolf]

Finally!!!!!

[quartz plume]

i can't wait that long!!

[indigo bane]

i just need that

[pallid onyx]

Me neither

[stable bison]

Based on previous patch histories, it's not over until four hours from now.

[indigo bane]

[frank igloo]

there's only 2 TIS member online it's obviously not today

my money in on the 21st

[indigo bane]

Also he said "No" for the question "Is it today"

what is today ?

[pallid onyx]

I think pat tryna confused us

[white marten]

From what I can see they're pushing changes slower. Not that means anything really.

[frank igloo]

oh yes my bad

[pallid onyx]

Blud is blind

[frank igloo]

because when you're on the news channel there's only 2

[white marten]

They may also just be appearing offline.

NASKO DROP BUILD 42 AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[limber idol]

Yeah I looked at the pz chat and I counted 7

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[frank igloo]

pat sent a few wikipedia link and 21st december was always mentioned but idk if he's trolling

[indigo bane]

where

oh indeed

[frank igloo]

F

.

[indigo bane]

but the 21th is a saturday

[pallid onyx]

Sus

[white marten]

That could be their hard cut off date for release though. Meaning if it's not by the 21st it won't be out until after holiday.

[pallid onyx]

Don't be negative

[indigo bane]

W

si just got updated again

[frank igloo]

i just want to be put in a coma and be woken up when B42 release i cant wait anymore

[stable bison]

[white marten]

I... I somehow missed that Soul Filcher is a dev now?

[white marten]

i always go past 1 year in game

[white marten]

I've finally been playing multiplayer.

[indigo bane]

uh

[frank igloo]

i just love the single aspect of the zombie apocalypse

i don't even want NPC i'll probably disable them when they are released

[latent mulch]

TOO SUSPECT

WHY WOULD THEY UPDATE TWO SEPARATE BRANCHS AT THE SAME TIME

[indigo bane]

and now u see Pat reconnecting

I looked at my purchase date - we literally bought the game like a week apart lol

[latent mulch]

alright fellas I will go watch youtube and try to find some tutorials on how to find clues hidden inside images, see y'all later

[snow nimbus]

Just remember

[stable bison]

Once again, I must reiterate, sacrifices to the gods will bring us the update.

[snow nimbus]

😻 that is awesome

[gleaming ivy]

There is no.. I accept the truth

https://tenor.com/view/accept-the-fact-mr-spock-henoch-star-trek-the-original-series-gif-23404744

[orchid wolf]

If your schizophrenic enough, everything is a clue

[snow nimbus]

and here we are

[gleaming ivy]

Yes

[snow nimbus]

amazing 😄

[gleaming ivy]

Nasko... Please.. Give Uss....

[white marten]

13 years later and still one of my favorite games.

The other top competitor is Kenshi

[gleaming ivy]

DO THIS FOR THIS CUTE KITTY

[gleaming ivy]

We are deceived in a relationship, and also by developers....

[pallid onyx]

Because everything is

[snow nimbus]

I have kenshi, I bought it when it launched onto steam but I sadly struggle to get into it

I really want to love it

[white marten]

It's so good once you do get into it. A big part of the game for me was discovering the lore.

[pallid onyx]

[snow nimbus]

It's such a sandbox that I am unsure what to do next I guess - it also ran like crap on my last two computers (I haven't tried on this one yet) so that didn't help

which is funny cause I love sandbox games (hence my PZ love)

[latent mulch]

not found by google images and not found by tineye.... Interesting....

[white marten]

It gives you no direction. I always start with copper mining

[white marten]

Likely a crop of a newspaper article from the game

[pallid onyx]

That's what I said

[latent mulch]

HMMMMMMMM

[native bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/screaming-gif-23717326

[orchid wolf]

It’s a clue it has 2 characters and 42 has 2 characters

[gleaming ivy]

But this is a photo of the game itself

[white marten]

I'm mainly hoping for B42 just so I can make spears

I want good spears so bad

[orchid wolf]

We can put toilet plungers on spears

[white marten]

I'm hoping the Standard Vehicle Upgrades mod gets updated too. I want vanilla armored cars.

[limber idol]

Same, I never bothered making them because they're so fragile

[limber idol]

Mmm, fresh baked memes

[candid sparrow]

lmao

[mental widget]

WAIT UAS 42 COME OUT

[limber idol]

No

[mental widget]

OH

[pallid onyx]

Makes sense

[white marten]

[indigo bane]

i have a good feeling

[indigo bane]

oh lul

[white marten]

I think that's their 'stable' 42 build (total speculation)

[indigo bane]

i think too

[pallid onyx]

You're right

[orchid wolf]

Oh my god

[buoyant forum]

OMG B42 is awesome

[white marten]

LMAO

Muldraugh looks cool

[strong inlet]

lol

[orchid wolf]

They finally added flyable airplanes!!!!

As far as KY goes - it's a clean little town.

[indigo bane]

no update

[copper oriole]

They released the first teaser for it a few years before it came out

[copper oriole]

But they were also remaking the engine and stuff I believe. The player and zombies were all pixelated instead of 3D models

[frank igloo]

[orchid wolf]

The ciphers posted by Nasko on December 9th are not arbitrary; they are intricately designed as part of a larger, calculated strategy orchestrated by John Zomboid. Every element, including the developers’ names, holds significance—likely embedded with coded messages. These distractions are deliberate, directing our attention away from a deeper truth that John Zomboid is orchestrating behind the scenes. It is essential that we remain vigilant, as the surface details only reveal a fraction of the complex scheme at play.

But those ciphers are crucial. Their design suggests a deliberate pattern, pointing to a deeper purpose. John Zomboid, along with Pat, is playing a game of mental chess, crafting cryptic clues to guide us. Both are orchestrating a complex web, drawing us in while obscuring the true meaning. Build 42 isn’t just an update; it’s a puzzle we haven’t yet fully grasped, crafted by John Zomboid and Pat to keep us on edge.

So, until Build 42 drops, don’t eat. Don’t drink. Stay alert. We can’t afford to be distracted by anything trivial, not until we finally get the answers we’ve been searching for.

[snow nimbus]

[orchid wolf]

No your not

[late jackal]

So you guys are gonna release a blog post during your Christmas holiday break?

Not that I'm complaining about it or anything. I just didn't expect it.

[ebon wind]

I found it curious that people were just as confused about the possibility of a Thanksgiving drop. Blogs can be written ahead of time

[pallid onyx]

Two steps ahead

[ebon wind]

Feasible that we don't get a blog bc of holidays, but also entirely possible for it to be written ahead of time and scheduled for release (we have the technology)

[limber idol]

There's surely a lot of crying

[orchid wolf]

Oh cool soul filchers here

[radiant dagger]

so uh, with all the yesses yesterday I think they forgot to release it. but they can make up for it today 🙂

[hasty falcon]

lol, are people really assuming we gonna get a build so soon?

[mild orchid]

test

[white marten]

The devs said they're aiming for before Christmas.

[hasty falcon]

idk, today seems like a bit too early

maybe that's just me

[pallid onyx]

123

[white marten]

I doubt it'll be any later than Monday.

[radiant dagger]

well it seems difficult to release it around christmas because they will be stuck bugfixing

[pallid onyx]

It's just you

[radiant dagger]

so im assuming sooner than later

[ebon wind]

Holy shit guys

It's Friday

[radiant dagger]

this is correct

[limber idol]

You jsut noticed?

[ebon wind]

Can you believe it

[radiant dagger]

no

[ebon wind]

Also check steam

[radiant dagger]

o,o

[ebon wind]

Nothing has changed I just wanted to imagine hundreds of people flooding to check the branches

[limber idol]

lol

[pallid onyx]

Friday 13th

[gleaming ivy]

.........

[radiant dagger]

sounds like a spooky time to release b42

[pallid onyx]

I agree

[sage jewel]

Aiming for, but entirely possible it doesn't come out until after.

[indigo bane]

Guys, just prepare yourself for a "Sorry" dev blog

[ebon wind]

Be grateful I've only decided to start crying wolf just now

[white marten]

I imagine we'll hear news either way by Monday.

[pallid onyx]

By Sunday

[hasty falcon]

honestly i expect the update to come out in january. so if it releases this month ill have a nice little surprise lol

[teal tundra]

I mean, if you stir the pot enough I imagine admins will decide you dont get a later

[ebon wind]

I love a challenge

But considering the localized hysteria occurring here I don't think they'd mind my trickery

[hasty falcon]

i wouldn't call it hysteria, it's more like... that feeling people who believe in rapture have

"it's just around the corner"

[limber idol]

It's like /pol/ screaming ITS HAPPENING whenever someone drops their hotdog

[ebon wind]

What could this message possibly mean

[velvet mountain]

nothing ever happens

[limber idol]

https://tenor.com/view/chud-nothing-ever-happens-nothing-ever-happens-gif-5603746312914518503

[indigo bane]

and i wonder, i wonder how, i wonder why

[hardy wren]

what if something happened.

[finite turtle]

What if it’s out rn and they’re waiting for us to find it

[pallid onyx]

What if

[finite turtle]

What if we’re slowly losing our sanity

[hardy wren]

No, I was referring to John Zomboid kidnapping you into KY of the past. After all B42 is you all.

[limber idol]

You haven't already?

[indigo bane]

it's impossible

[stoic mesa]

There most likely is no fixed release date. They have some number of "blocking" issues to fix that are so bad they prevent release even to beta. When the last one is fixed, we will get our beta.

[indigo bane]

i'm scanning in real time steamdb

[hardy wren]

doubt

[pallid onyx]

Dayum

[stoic mesa]

Which will still be buggy and nigh-unplayable for at least the first couple of weeks, so, we should probably all slow our rolls

[finite turtle]

Oh I have, it’s gotten to a point where I have a routine of checking this discord every hour now

[hardy wren]

Touch snow. You will heal.

[pallid onyx]

Same

[latent mulch]

hah, hourly?

i'm checking every 10minutes

[proper dirge]

Oh hey it's you

[finite turtle]

Now that cory is back he can play build 42 once it’s out 🤑

[indigo bane]

look at this

[vernal folio]

Will do sir!

[finite turtle]

I’m actually kinda on standby now

[vernal folio]

Had a look, its certainly an image

[proper dirge]

What about that?

[finite turtle]

Hold up this is kinda something

[quiet imp]

ok im looking now what

[indigo bane]

they are all here

[hardy wren]

Honestly, likely they could release it. They are trying to get features to the level of as if they were releasing another game.
In public perception, despite it being called 'unstable' with slower blows, it means nothing to the general public.

[indigo bane]

waiting for us to play the B42

[mint flax]

it's their server, of course they're here!

[vernal folio]

There are currently two devs idle and two devs set to do not disturb

Idk where you got that image from

[finite turtle]

What

[hardy wren]

They are not here. That's just illusion.

[latent mulch]

besides the ones who are set to invisible

[vernal folio]

People getting so impatient they're hallucinating devs being here

[quiet imp]

my man the sidebar only shows people in this forum thread lol, go to general chat and you'll see more

[pallid onyx]

[vernal folio]

Oh my bad

[hardy wren]

Would be good idea for insanity moodle.

[mint flax]

I actually have been dreaming about playing 42 pretty frequently lol kinda sorta related

[proper dirge]

Me too dude

Heck, even this discussion is less then halfway to 9k

[white marten]

Kinda sus that they all logged on

[vernal folio]

I don't think mr.bren would lie to us anyhow

[mint flax]

this game has a chokehold over me brah

[latent mulch]

I did, 2 times too

[velvet mountain]

theyre making fun of you in their group chat

[frank igloo]

were making fun of them in our group chat

[vernal folio]

Exactly

[limber idol]

Two groups of monkeys shrieking about each other

[vernal folio]

two can play at that game

[pulsar tinsel]

i love the honesty with these devs ❤️when they say “not today” i hear no lie… keep up the transparency ||/s||

[hardy wren]

They just need to say "not this year" then.

[pallid onyx]

Blud can see the future

[finite turtle]

can we get a "not this week" maybe?

that'd be better

[grim flare]

I'm not ready for B42. I can't handle it

[pallid onyx]

Fear of success

[stable bison]

Would it? There's only a couple of hours left in this work week. Pretty sure "not today" = "not this week"

[pulsar tinsel]

what about a “not anything past …” ?

which we did technically

[finite turtle]

we still have a saturday and sunday in the week

oh i guess ur right

they wouldnt work or announce b42 in a weekend

its either today , 20th, or 21st yall trust

[pallid onyx]

That's means you're already playing B42 in other timeline

[mint flax]

gonna rick and morty that other motherfucker and take his place

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[stable bison]

Yeah but B42 in the other dimension was ladled with cryptomining software that will wreck your PC. I was just there, and the only good thing about that dimension over this one is that EA declared bankruptcy.

[grim flare]

I can't believe we won't see horses in B42

[mild orchid]

Hey!

[mortal kernel]

some mod will bring them along but it would be nice to have them in the vanilla game especially for wilderness runs

[mild orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/project-zomboid-horse-gif-10664029143539029928

Did you forget.

[mortal kernel]

that's horrible lol

[pulsar tinsel]

mods ban him

[stable bison]

The grappling mechanics for corpses are going to open a lot of possibilities for modders. Especially the degenerates at Lovers' Lab.

[misty geode]

hahahahahahahahahah this is almost the best! It only looses for the dog jumping the fence

https://tenor.com/view/zomboid-dog-gif-15735278909360391194

[limber idol]

They've said that horses are a lot more complicated than regular animals due to the extra mechanics tied to them.

So it'll be a bit

[grim flare]

I am aware. Still sad

[pallid onyx]

W dimension lmao

[pallid onyx]

What about bikes

[grim flare]

Same thing

[limber idol]

I don't know anything about bikes

[grim flare]

Most of the problems with horses also exist for bikes

[latent mulch]

I bet they're gonna make bikes first

[pallid onyx]

Sadness

[latent mulch]

since the mechanics would be almost the same

[pallid onyx]

That's cool

[latent mulch]

or sort of

[abstract oak]

Nice collection you have there.

[ebon wind]

Such as needing to feed them

[grim flare]

I was talking about animations and what happens when zombies attack you while on a bike/horse

[limber idol]

Hey can we get trashcan lift kits in B43?

[gaunt phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/finn-malding-gif-19126633

Is b42 out yet?

[grim flare]

No

When the b42 withdrawals kick in

[limber idol]

Dude we haven't been able to take a bump of B42 yet, calm down

[grim flare]

Hope I can get a SSD before the release lol

[pallid onyx]

B43 will be dope

[hardy wren]

Project Zomboid 3 will be good.

[bronze cedar]

Ok we'll wait.

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[gaunt phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/headache-migraine-ugh-sick-squidward-gif-4610843

[pallid onyx]

Next century

[stable bison]

Well they stopped changing "si" every 30 minutes like they did most of today. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

[hardy wren]

Nah, that's Project Zomboid 2, filled with microtransactions and Project Zomboid 3 is "the return to the form".

[grim flare]

Stop looking at that smh. There's nothing there

[orchid wolf]

Do yall plan on doing a q and a sometime after b42 releases?

[pallid onyx]

And some of em started to text in this channel. What does that mean?

[orchid wolf]

Would be cool to get to know the devs more

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[proven agate]

Can't wait for the update guys, love what you got done so far hope everyone has good and safe holidays

[hardy wren]

They just don't commit new changes.

[ebon wind]

I can't believe y'all aren't hyped that we have a release date: when Fred Cooper gets an SSD

Let's go chat

[pallid onyx]

Xdn't

[stable bison]

No. It's either that or look at the entrails of a raven to determine the future.

[hardy wren]

If you think that's the release date, why don't we just pay him that SSD? Of course, that would imply we have money.

[grim flare]

Hold on, let me go to the store

[gaunt phoenix]

Why hasn't Fred Cooper bought an SSD, are we stupid? Are they stupid? Am I stupid?

[ebon wind]

We're all counting on you

[limber idol]

We need to pool our money for a new ssd

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-the-starfish-patrick-spongebob-squarepants-i-have-money-i-have-cash-gif-16891497

[hardy wren]

We all stupid.

[ebon wind]

Let us know the price Fred

[hardy wren]

inb4 we are dealing with brazilian prices or african ones.

[gaunt phoenix]

[pallid onyx]

So the Fred SSD has always been the key

[hardy wren]

No, it is just key hole. The key is to install the SSD to Fred's PC.

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[limber idol]

Australian localization when

[mortal kernel]

nothing for us

[white marten]

Likely they finished fixing whatever needed fixed for the day.

[grim flare]

You can release B42 now (spiffo pin to prove I didn't take the image from internet)

[stable bison]

Maybe, though I think that's what "nightly" is.

[proper dirge]

I am curious to the stable release of crafting, wonder what is on the unstable build of crafting.

[mortal kernel]

metalworking and pottery for now

[stable bison]

Australia isn't a real place. It's actually all New Zealand.

[grim flare]

Everything related to bows and crossbows won't be in the unstable release

[orchid wolf]

Were cars confirmed to be able to go up and down levels in b42?

[wind lantern]

both of those things don't exist, it's all sea there.

[white marten]

I'm happy with just metalworking tbh.

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah nah

[proper dirge]

... I meant the new craftable items.

[gaunt phoenix]

Nah yeah nah

[stable bison]

A guy on Youtube told me, so it must be true.

[wind lantern]

nah yeah nah nah yeah yeah nah m8 yeah nah nah yeah

[grim flare]

Not confirmed but it's possible, so maybe in the future of B42

[old needle]

Ill buy him an SSD if you release the update after

[gaunt phoenix]

I'm Australian and this is deep

[orchid wolf]

I thought we got a video of it or something?

[hardy wren]

According to North Americans, there is only America and maybe Europe, perhaps they are right?

[wind lantern]

actually theres only one land mass

[bronze cedar]

Err uhh can you send by mail

[stable bison]

No there's also China, which is where Japan is.

[wind lantern]

and its grass and rock and dirt

[grim flare]

Yes, but it was kinda buggy and the video said it was just a proof of concept

[orchid wolf]

Darn

[old needle]

Yes

[orchid wolf]

Can’t wait for someone to make a mod for it if it doesn’t make it in

[latent mulch]

maddan spootted

[mortal kernel]

everything that you would expect to craft with metalworking can now be crafted, apart from that there are tons of new items

[stable bison]

It's all right, I'm standing right outside your door with it. Just release B42 and then open your door, and you can have it.

[frank igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-gif-26689902

[stable bison]

I'm outside everyone's door.

Let's test that Taps your back out of nowhere, metaphorically.

[old needle]

Ill gift 20 people Project zomboid if the update drops in the next 10 minutes

[hardy wren]

You didn't specified what update, Steam updates for me right now workshop content.

[old needle]

[gleaming ivy]

Someone will want

[indigo bane]

lezgo

[mint flax]

No (English version of no)

[pallid onyx]

jo

[mint flax]

I think tis should give me the blacksmithing part of b42 as a treat..... I LOVE BLACKSMITHING!!!

[frank igloo]

who thinks they should add me as a beta tester for B42 ? let them know

https://tenor.com/view/lost-confused-dog-smiling-smile-doggo-gif-16610995

[pallid onyx]

I agree

[hardy wren]

I disagree.

You will suffer with all of us. Fair and square.

[frank igloo]

i don't think so

[hardy wren]

I do think so however.

[proper dirge]

Great, can't wait to use the plunger spear

Or whatever else wasn't shown in the videos or images

[orchid wolf]

Must become caveman

Kill zombie with club

[frank igloo]

ill take any dev on 1v1 on valorant if i win i become beta testers if they win they release b42 right now

[limber idol]

Real men do rpg only 1v1s on gm_flatgrass

[hardy wren]

Nah, real men play Puyo Puyo.

[pallid onyx]

Puyo Puyo

[hardy wren]

Of course alternative is Half Life 2 Death Match.

[finite turtle]

How do i get a spiffo pin

[mortal kernel]

they are a taste of what's to come and those videos are just the tip of the iceberg, it will be packed to the neck with new stuff

[proper dirge]

True, but does the unstable version not include the complex machinery in the other video?

[mortal kernel]

they carefully choose what to share so.they don't spoil too much

[mortal kernel]

machinery for later

[broken trench]

Cannot wait for factories

[limber idol]

As long as it doesn't turn into those jumbo machines from Minecraft I'll be fine

[limber idol]

Complex machines fall under the first listing in the Later category

[stable bison]

On top othat they also confirmed turkeys at launch.

[mortal kernel]

much of the crafting will come in updates to the unstable like the thermal mechanic, sprinters, bandages in b41 beta

[stable bison]

It would be very rude if I couldn't eat turkey in Project Zomboid on Christmas day.

[latent mulch]

true yeah, they forgot to put in the list

[limber idol]

I completely forgot about the thermal mechanic

[mortal kernel]

first couple of updates to b41

[latent mulch]

last update 2 hours ago on steamdb
either the devs are resting (very deserved resting love y'all devs) or they're doing some final tests

LETS SEE

[limber idol]

It's 4:27 pm EST, they're probably going home for the weekend

[mortal kernel]

it's pointless watching steamdb now

it's best to wait and just see what happens next week

[white marten]

Probably end of day meeting, going over their needs for tomorrow or next week

[limber idol]

https://tenor.com/view/megumin-anime-konosuba-browsing-watching-gif-17942651

[old tapir]

theyre mostly brits I thought, no way theyre releasing something at this time in the uk

[limber idol]

Us right now

[old tapir]

theyre gonna do it in the morning ish so they can quell any huge fires

[limber idol]

UK based doesn't mean everyone lives there.

[white marten]

They have members all across the globe.

[old tapir]

yeah but youre gonna want the most percentage of support from your team which would probably be uk time

[white marten]

and iirc some of the original devs had horrible sleep schedules

[high copper]

this is what i was thinking

if they're based out of uk then i expect they'll probably be aligning their schedules w uk timezone. and it's night time there lol i dont see them dropping a huge update in the middle of the night

but. who knows

[deep field]

In fairness. “Before Christmas” there’s still 11 days until “definitely not before Christmas”

So if anything next weekend. Probably not this weekend

[high copper]

11:59 PM December 24th

[latent storm]

There's like a week left lol

Everybody, chill

It'll get here when it gets here

[deep field]

As much as I’m really hoping and wishing this weekend. It’s probably not happening

[ancient hazel]

I dont think they work on the weekends, do they?

[candid sparrow]

b42 is out but only I can play it (my uncle works at TIS)

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-funny-smile-happy-gif-4163740030726237429

[limber idol]

Well MY uncle works at the Internet Company and he says if I don't get access to B42 RIGHT NOW he's causing a global shut down

[deep field]

According to the moon and the ovals in spiffos eyes I calculate that B42 will be released on…

[pallid onyx]

The moon never lie...

[indigo bane]

the week end will be so long

i'm excited to be on monday

first time of my life

[high copper]

my bad 😔 update today then, king?

[stable bison]

Interesting, so hypothetically, someone in the United States could sneak into your house and access B42?

[tawny quarry]

I have almost 2000 and i can also say that atleast a third of it is because i keep forgetting to close the game

[stable bison]

I'm going to need to put a heist squad together.

[frank igloo]

wait you gave me an idea

RJ lives in France and so do i

[native bronze]

finally we are reaching hl2 levels of anticipation

[stable bison]

All right, so we just need a British squad member, and we can launch a coordinated strike.

[orchid wolf]

Who’s sinister zomboid? Haven’t heard of them yet

[indigo bane]

I have some good skills, Cat's Eyes and Graceful

won't talk about the bad traits tho

[indigo bane]

héhé rendez vous gare du nord

[high copper]

[frank igloo]

[indigo bane]

[pallid onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/clap-gif-25211694

[white marten]

Why not?

[high copper]

i dont know what to think anymore. i think it'll drop at 4 pm. nothing to base that off of i just think so

^-^

[latent mulch]

something is going on, they updated the testing branch that had been last updated like 1 month ago

[indigo bane]

I don't know, the week end is the week end

[deep field]

They might be.... y'know....testing.......

[high copper]

honestly i hope they drop it this weekend because it gives me a GREAT excuse not to do any of my finals work

[tawny quarry]

Eventually if we keep saying it’s coming out tomorrow, we will be right.

[quartz plume]

wait, they're not only developing the game, but TESTING it too?

[high copper]

huge if true

[white marten]

I mean, game dev is an industry where people do work weekends, just because they want to

[frank igloo]

they are having fun on b42 and don’t want to release it i knew it

[latent mulch]

YEAH CAN U BELIEVE IT

[stable bison]

If we all clap our hands and believe together that they are releasing B42 right now, it will happen.

[deep field]

THEY WOULD NEVER TEST A BUILD THEY ARE CREATING!!! B42 IN 3 MINUTES

[indigo bane]

It made me smile really

[high copper]

[white marten]

[deep field]

The password for Si is "Senor"

[indigo bane]

You know what ? I'm sure they will post something in patchnotes channel to troll us

[indigo bane]

https://tenor.com/view/park-dance-project-zomboid-gif-26426998

[limber idol]

They should add leopards, super duper commonly native in Kentucky trust

[indigo bane]

i'm playing now B42

[white marten]

Bob cats are

[deep field]

I cannot wait for modders to add in animal mods so I can catch myself rainbow alpacas in the wild

[white marten]

So like

mini leopards. Bobcats are mini leopards.

[high copper]

they should add beagles in order to maximize realism. not biased here

who do i have to ping to get this

[deep field]

I'm gunna say it now, I BET you someone messes around with the animal AI for a pokemon mod. I BET. Every game has a Pokemon mod

[limber idol]

I want a mod so zombies attack animals like the ones in World War Z (Book, not movie)

[indigo bane]

They should add zombies to the game

[limber idol]

Zomboidmon x Cobblemon crossover?

[white marten]

Guys they pushed a new testing branch update

[deep field]

Whoa dude too much. I enjoy Project Simoid.

[high copper]

are you stupid? how would zombies work in this lmao

[indigo bane]

I dunno, maybe they could walk and bite

[high copper]

that seems like a bad idea

i already die enough in this game as is

[deep field]

Ughhh I bet you're one of those high IQ people who think they can add something like infection to the game lmaoooo. broooooo TIS cannot do that

[indigo bane]

sometimes i have bad idea you know

It's a better idea than adding vehicle to the game, someone suggested that earlier lul

with mechanic

[deep field]

B42 drops, there's no zombies, your chosen occupation makes you take your car to work and afk farm money to buy food for your wife and two kids.

[high copper]

vehicles is a terrible idea. i want a pony

[high copper]

PZ if it was good

[limber idol]

Bitcoin mining

[indigo bane]

Project Life

[deep field]

Project Lifedoid

[high copper]

sims 5

project rene?!?!?! holy shit

project renezoid

[indigo bane]

inZOIdoid

[deep field]

Fun fact: Project Zomboid was the first game to use "Project" in their name so all the other developers copied it and thought it was cool

[high copper]

first game... ever?

[deep field]

Ever, before even tetris and pacman

[high copper]

that's crazy

[indigo bane]

what about Project Cars @deep field

[deep field]

Lawsuit right there

YOOOO B42 JUST DROPPED IM PLAYING IT RN

[indigo bane]

If you die before B42, do you have some kind of Insurance ?

[high copper]

love how the zomboids look like ☺️

[deep field]

Only if you pay the Health Insurance worker in Louisville before Day 30

[high copper]

but Watch Out!

i heard the next patch is adding assassinations

peak

[tawny quarry]

They’re gonna let you kill people??

[deep field]

Can we get a tutorial mission where it's like "2 Months before the Apocalypse"
and the objectives of the mission is that... nothing happens. You just go to work and pay your bills and go to a restaurant and that's it.

[high copper]

the objective is to survive living in kentucky. it's somehow more challenging than the actual game

[deep field]

"Hooo a new challenge map, this is gunna be so tough"
"Pay your taxes: 400$"
"...Damn I can never finish this challenge map. I'm poor."

Dw guys when B42 comes out, I'll add in NPCs using the animal AI they added. (They will be humans that use deer animations and walk on fours.)

[indigo bane]

40min before the 14th of December and we can ask Pal "today ?" again

[tawny quarry]

Yep

[visual vine]

what about timezones

[deep field]

THEY JUST UPDATED SI 24 SECONDS AGO, B42 IS COMING WITHIN 0.9 SECONDS

[tawny quarry]

Well not in my timezone

[indigo bane]

My timezone is the best

[visual vine]

Which one is that

[indigo bane]

UTC+1

[pallid onyx]

Why

[limber idol]

East Coast gang rise up

[pallid onyx]

Makes sense

[visual vine]

Dang, Im UTC-5

[high copper]

[indigo bane]

Uh, you're literraly 6 times worse than UTC+1

[visual vine]

You know thats right 🙌

[pallid onyx]

I thought girlfriends was just a myth

[high copper]

[visual vine]

Id rather get deleted by zomboids

[limber idol]

Nothing but wenches and traitors to steal your copper wiring

[tawny quarry]

I thought women didn’t exist!

[frank igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/shinji-shinji-broom-nge-pet-bonk-dog-shinji-bonk-gif-23324575

[indigo bane]

Also i'm pretty sure that one of you know the release date but don't want to tell the other

[high copper]

hey! ouch! dont smack me!

[indigo bane]

So i don't trust anyone now

[hardy wren]

Release date is when it is done.

[frank igloo]

more than a year ago

[indigo bane]

[pallid onyx]

I have a suspicion that aminta knows something

[indigo bane]

i didn't want to say it but i agree bro

[high copper]

i know your mom

[hardy wren]

Well, Aminta indeed knows something.

[high copper]

sorry man i wish i knew something :( i dont even know my own job

[white marten]

How funny would it be if the devs saw us watching the update info and keep just like changing a random text document and pushing it just to troll us.

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[teal summit]

Bro I am checking every 6 hours

[white marten]

I could honestly see them doing that.

[indigo bane]

Fr

[hardy wren]

Then stop checking.

[latent mulch]

[hardy wren]

You will literally get pinged.
