Just bought project zomboid holy shit its amazing. So why do

>>381546650
>So why do you guys probably likely maybe hate this game again
Because even faggots like you can't be bothered to say anything good about the game other than "holy shit its amurzing u gais holy shit"

Hi zomboid dev.

>>381546650
Ignore the haters OP

Just like a young bottle of wine takes years to mature to a finer bottle to enjoy, so does the development of a fine game such as this.

Indie Stone are dedicated and still keep on rolling, some players are simply impatient but some of us I am sure of (myself included) have even bought several copies for friends to share after countless hours of enjoyment, Definetly got my moneys worth. From most other zombie survival games I have played, this one tops them all.

Go on, try this one out. You wont regret it.

40% DISCOUNT TOO!!!

>>381546650
Looks shit

>>381547019
ewwww op such le bad graphics xDDDD

>>381547019
yeah, this t b h. Get better artists

I mostly hate it because so many people like it.

>>381546650

cos its been in-dev for an insane amount of time,
it's a miracle their company even stays afloat.

The worst part is that they're reworking shit they didn't really need to in the first place. They're spending a huge effort changing up the artstyle from its cuter alpha version, creating a massive never-ending workload that nobody asked for. And now they're only just adding vehicles and that's still not done either.

AND
STILL
NO
NPCS

>>381546650
ive owned this game since its days on Desura and I can honestly say it has gotten better. But its slow as fuck to play. Everything you do is SLOW and building things is a huge pain in the ass.

>>381546650
wtf did Project Zomboid turn into? Haven and Hearth with zombies instead of Russians?

Shit controls and slow af. Why didn't they just make a proper top down shooter?

Jews glad they brought out cars finally. But Jesus Christ it's like driving shooting a shotgun on full auto it's so fucking loud. They're pretty much death traps.

>top down shooter

Not really worth getting when there are superior zombie and scavenging games on the market like State of Decay or NEO scavenger, which already has superior combat (combat sucks in project zomboid), basebuilding mechanics, NPCs, and vehicles. This game is stuck in development hell and will either never be released or will be rushed to 1.0.

Unlike the developers say in the early access game text box, they have not delivered on their promises is there is no NPC system, which is the main feature everyone bought the game for.

And instead of working on cool gameplay features like NPCs, the devs are now shifting towards "crafting and building" mechanics. Seriously, they have an opportunity to make a unique zombie survival game, and they're trying to turn it into another clone of autismcraft?

Save your money. If you really want a zombie game, I'd recommend state of decay

Get a refund while you still can

>>381547797
>NEO scavenger

Fucking love this game

>>381546650
It's look like there is too much zombies for a suburbs.
But seems interesting

>>381546650
It's very good in co-op with friends

>>381546650

dunno dude i was in high school when I bought it.

I'm 29 now

>>381547896
Or brother

I'd rather play Cataclysm DDA. Vehicle building in that game is pretty neat.

>Early game
>Vehicle is just a chair with wheels on
>Chair end up becoming with a solar powered armour plated RV that has turrets and spikes on

>>381548240
So you can basically build a mobile base/house/storage facility? That sounds neat if so

Or you could just grab Catacylsm:DDA that is free and better?

>>381547083
?? You okay anon?

Gimme a rundown on the game, i'm intrigued because it looks like an old flash game i played years ago

>>381548363
Pretty much.
You start by putting down the controls and from there you add any vehicle parts you want as long as you have the right mechanic level.

>>381548562
It's a shitty hoarding simulator.
>Run around grabbing food from empty, boring houses in an empty, boring world.
>Run away from the same damn zombies.
>Go back home and sleep
>repeat until you get bored and uninstall the game

>>381548565
I keep putting off learning how to play this game, what's the best way to learn

>>381548363
You can also convert or rip apart and weld together any vehicle in the game. It is a really good system imo.

>>381548769

by playing and googling things if you can't figure it out

AHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Just a reminder this is what Cataclysm looks like

If you are not
A) Autistic
B) Neckbeard

Then you will not enjoy this game.

>>381548920
Reminder there are tilesets for retard babies like you.

>>381548363
Yeah, you basically ends up with fortress on wheels with cameras instead of windows so the zeds can't see or smell you. Turrets, spikes funnel on tank so you can catch rainwater, solars, fridge, beds for you and your companions, welder etc.

All you do is move from point to point on procedural generated map and loot points of interests and look for survivors into your army.

And look for giant anthills to run some giants ants over for infinite supply of meat. Also there is now vitamin deficiency implemented so you have to eat some vegetables and fruits or some supplements so you won't get some chronic disease from lack of vitamins.

There are also augmentation so you can end up as a superhuman but it can get too op. But the endgame is pretty hard though in few ingame years when all to zeds mutate into their highest form, fungus towers spread etc. so it could be necessary.

Awful and slow development cycle. Reworking a lot of shit no one asked for, hardly any work on integrating systems and mechanics they promised years ago. I had a few hours of fun and mods help, but as it is the game is pretty bad.

>>381548725
>playing it on single player
Playing against others is what made it fun for me.

>>381549053
R-really??

>>381546650

The alpha version was apex.
Small town filled with personality.
Gameplay/combat was very arcadey.
Artstyle was really good.

Now its just a walking simulator with floaty as fuck combat, broken gamepad support and mechanics and ugly as sin art and weird as fuck pandering with that fucking raccoon. Real shame.

>>381548769
Personally I just dicked about and checked the wiki from time to time. I will say though I feel the best way to start is

>Find nearest city
>Raid houses on outskirts
>Make one your safe house and close curtains in bedroom at least
>Try to find or make a bag

>>381549231
Yes, they come with the game now and can be turned off and on or changed in the options menu. There are also sound packs so you can have sound effects and music/ambience as well, I think you have to download those separate though, don't remember if they come with the game by default.

Do they still have the random helicopter noises and shit in the game?

I hated how your base would just get absolutely fucked out of the blue because some non-existent helicopter draws every zombie within 5 miles to your exact location.

>>381549231
Game comes with several tilesets now and I think it uses one by default. Some even change your sprite depending on what you or NPCs wear.

>>381546650
>muh stolen laptop

>>381546728
This. EA does the same thing when shilling their games on /v/: Every single criticism of the game is responded with by "It's fun!" or "It's amazing!"

Sure nigger, say that all you want, but you aren't telling us *why* we would find it fun or amazing.

>>381549405
Expanding on this, ChestHole is a good tileset to use, I use ChestHole32, but there is a 16x16 version.

>>381549405
>>381549421

Thanks guys, I'll look into it. Sorry for mocking the game ;_;

>>381547797
>State of decay

Look its ok for what it is but it has no proper survival per se. You play a bunch of characters without any personalytits what so ever neither are you bothering about your personal survival but of the whole group. I looked for an etirnity to find mods that remove the whole basesbuilding shit I was already tired of when playing reconstructor flash game 10 years ago. YOu want survival, just go with dayz mod or better, stalker.

I don't know, I play DDA.

developer got his laptop stolen and lost source

>>381549627
No problem, get the in development version rather than the stable version. Stable has not been updated in a while sadly. Hope you end up enjoying the game. Wiki is your friend or just straight up googling. If you are really stuck and have no idea there are some decent lets plays online if that's your thing.

>>381546650
Add the fucking animations and visible bags + more visual character custmization. JFC.

>>381549937
>>381549482
Developers got robbed?????

is that why it's been taking so long, they had to start from scratch?

Or are the devs lying kikes?

>>381550060
They got robbed years ago and not much was lost.

>>381546984
Why does the game look exactly like it did five years ago?

>>381547613
>everyone looks like a character from one of those psuedo-3d gameboy advance games
Definitely worth the half-decade of work. Maybe by 2050 we can get those NPCs eh?

>>381546650

hello indieshill, are you gonna donate to more trannies lying about accidents to get their dick chopped off.

Oh it's THIS game... Bought it like 5 years ago. Apparently nothong has changed.

I saw this on greenlight years ago and can't get a refund so long after purchasing.

Shame on the devs for never finishing this game.

I forgot this existed, I bought a couple of copies many years ago. I am surprised to see they're still kicking
Can you still kill your wife with a pillow?

I see alot of guys complaining about how slow the development is going but to be fair, they had to restart from scratch because their computer containing all the files and assets were stolen.

>>381546650
I played it during the whole piracy debacle where the dev swore he lost the source code for it and wouldn't continue. It was ok, but I was waiting for it to complete first.

You're right, I wish it wasn't made by jsut one guy but he did good work.

There's a mega mod which combines most of the good ones all together. I think it's essential.

>>381546650
It's good for a few hours then you realize it's shallow and awful.

About to give Cataclysm: DDA a try.
What am I in for?

>>381546650
because the devs focus on dumb stuff like making the art sprites better instead of gameplay and adding an actual objective other than survive. It has such a good system covered under a layer of NOTHING.

its just one giant demo that has been in development for like 5 years

>>381553471
Either autistic mindless fun as you create an eco-friendly killing machine, or boredom as you spent a whole week doing nothing but stockpiling food.

You're about to be executed with impunity within 15 minutes of starting out. I'm not even joking. Just keep at it, don't get too frustrated, roll with the kicks and learn from them and it will just get more fun.

Seems like my type of game and I was going to buy it this sale, but it's still too expensive for me.

>>381546650
thanks to this game i never fell for the early access shit ever again since the year this game launched, so i wasted 10 bucks but saved countless amounts of american dollars by not falling for the early-access Jew.

>>381546650

I hate it because it WONT RUN on my computer.
Nuff Said.

>>381557465

I get like 1FPS on this game, if that. People play indie games because they're cheap and they're quirky in their own ways. People who play cheap games are usually poor and have older computers, I tried running this on a Netbook since its all I got.

Based on the screens ive seen there was some intention to want to make as many zombies look different as possible.

However making so many different styles is where its bogging down on performance so bad.

They could literally do this with same-ing a bunch of the zombie graphics, and just giving them Palette Remap style color adjustments at random for their clothing.

And some aspects of their animations like the legs walking could be same-d across the screen, not for all of them but for legs of the same style.

There's going to be too much going on and the player will be in a hurry so they're not going to notice doing Same-y tactics on zombies.

Maybe 8 body styles total between both genders of zombies. And they could expand that to more in the options panel.
