We need to talk about the ABSOLUTE state of Project Zomboid's development. It's been a year since B42 Unstable release.

That's way too many, he's not like me at all

Zomboid with NPC survivors you can kill/persuade to join/enslave
then sex/rape mechanics for the Immortan Joe experience

And it made the game objectively worse while adding absolutely nothing of substance. Almost impressive, really.

grim

>5000 hours played
You just know it's some hyperfixated sperg that will make some batshit decisions, too bad this game is eternally early access.

You can already get a gf or bf in Survivalist Invisible Strain, if the game was more popular someone would've probably made a coom mod.

>>723489140
How about farming alone for 5000 hours instead?

>made the game objectively worse
How? I'm curious because everybody I know vastly prefers 42 and wants MP.

>>723487881 (OP)
with experienced people herding the coders we might actually see NPCs by 2030

TIS is notorious for hiring successful modders and developers and making them work on new sock models

Guns, which were mostly shit, were made even shittier, the only noteworthy additions they made to the game were more survivalcraftan, zombie spawn logic is now complete nonsense and is centered around the idea that players would want loot from a place rather than because it makes sense for them, and there's no multiplayer.

roundhouse kick lemmy into the concrete

Guns seem fine, at lvl 1 aiming they suck as always but I've never used them much. I can't understand at all what you're trying to say about the zombie spawn logic though.

>>723490664
Zombies have heat maps now where spawns are more concentrated based on location desirability (quality/quantity of loot) versus distribution being based on urban versus rural environment, which makes no fucking sense.

wtf am I supposed to digest from this blog post?

I can't complain, he plays videogames and clearly cares about the PZ

>>723487881 (OP)
I bought this when it first came out, played it once then dropped it. Is it any good?

>>723492707
For a first time it can occupy you anywhere between 100-200hrs, past that point unless you have autism you'll drop it due to the fact that it's very shallow. There's basically no "end game" that all sandbox experiences like Kenshi or M&B have and if you want to LARP as a zombie apocalypse survivor you'll reach self suffiency very quick.
Base settings suck (you can change them) and there's a ton of QoL mods because the game has a lot of the bad kind of tedium from survival games.
