Fanatical_Meat

As far as I know it uses one core, however I am not an expert on this subject.

Shared maps would be great

Wait what? looting buildings of various kinds effects game stage?

Christ just leave a wood frame outside a looted POI. Seems like a trivial issue for the amount of discussion

Hmm a fun night of gaming could involve a “house rule” of only food that may be consumed is rotten meat, cat or dog food or rotten shamwich. only drink that may be consumed is from the toilet.

Personally I would prefer to hordes to be much, much larger. Hundred of easy to kill zombies. I would prefer headshot only to kill but that mechanic would probably be too irritating on horde night. my ideal horde would be 100s of zombies that run the entire night maybe open with some special zombies like the demo guy and tail off a little at the end. I would like there to be so many zombies they can climb on top of each other and reach a roof if left uncontrolled. I don’t want drones but maybe as envisioned a healing drone would be okay. I don’t like turrets but some large caliber gun emplacements would be cool.

Pretty much this. Smooth edges are nice but overall not super noticeable while playing if it is an either or I’d prefer more zombie variety even if it is the same zombie with different colored clothes and maybe more walk/run profiles so they appear even more different.

Sit down animations in chairs or thrones or even on the ground are nifty for screen captures but that’s about it. Typically in a game that allows it I sit down in a couple of things and say “that’s cool” then never do it again. same with cooking animations or crafting animations, it is cool to look at for a few seconds then it is meaningless. I say skip them unless they can be added with a trivial amount of work and/or CPU power.

Small disappointment otherwise I am exited for A20

@faatal I know this could change so I accept your answer now may not the the “correct” answer. what Will hordes look like in A20? IMO the best hordes were A16 give or take. Just feels like the horde time is really tight and without mods they can be anticlimactic. currently in A19 they aren’t bad I just remember them being more intense. Also will A20 have more zombies roaming around the biom’s vs A19 un-modded? **When I say Tight above I mean the time duration. Feels like older alphas the zombies came all night and you were cleaning them up in the morning. More current alphas feel like an intense but short duration. Like all zombies are cleaned up by 4am now you stand around and wait.

I think the point about sounds being deaden passing thru walls is: do you want sounds to pass thru walls less and alert fewer zombies or Do you want more zombies in the game do you want to add months on to next alpha and have sound not pass thru walls easily or do you want next alpha to arrive sooner those are really the questions you need to answer and they are likely either or questions.

They've has the Santa Suit and the pumpkins. However I agree it would be nice to have holiday themed mini events like find pumpkins in the field during Halloween or collect the Santa Claws suit during Xmas week or whatever. Cop zombies drop fireworks during the 4th and so on.

While I only skimmed a different article on it seemed to me most new PCs will comply with the law by having more aggressive sleep profiles and better power supplies. Yes some cheap dell proprietary or un-named 1200 watt power supply won’t make the cut but overall that’s a good thing to me.

unlikely for any update. basically too many in place systems need to be changed however I could be thinking of DLSS or whatever. I suspect adding a feature like that may cause unintended consequences and at this point they really need to focus on wrapping this thing up. Ignoring performance impacts could an entire world 4/8/12/16k be generated with the tile system as in the entire world is one big City?

Guys, that game stream is like five or six months old. Maybe that’s the way it will work and maybe it have been changed or for all we know delayed to Alpha 21

Steam auto updates many times, possible you got the stable update and didn’t notice it. I assume that’s the update you are talk’in about.

Haha yeah I was afraid of doing that in reverse. Simple math but super easy to screw up. I’ll help N O P E

200 (plus)K of ram out of an 8GB pool is insignificant. Someone check my math but sounds like 0.002% of total memory.

Came here to say essentially the above. Steam is a digital rights management (DRM) tool but it has a very small footprint and barely takes any resources it also is very forgiving of internet connection as in there is an offline mode and even when online it doesn’t dial home all that frequently. If the game is running slow the problem is not steam the problem is something else. Check what is running on you PC when it slows do control-alt-delete, look for something using a huge amount of ram or cpu add more memory build/buy newer machine and retire your favorite to running a 7D2D server or other duties.

Where did you get that from?

I haven’t played single player in years. host a server for friends & I to play on. In the games current state throwing rocks has almost no value. Just remove it. If not removed at least allow bring on the turds and let us throw them at players.

Nope

yes and the thrown rock or snowball mechanics should be dumped. Haven’t done it to distract a zombie ever. i have thrown stuff at players and that doesn’t work plus feels unsatisfying.

Add some odd humor and it could be like Army of Darkness. I like this idea. Another I would like to see is ships. Space ships or wooden ships or battleships or steam punk ships doesn’t matter. Visit Islands to find gear & food or supplies. Upgrade your ship and fight players or AI ships. Allow friends to join your ship and man the guns or repel boarding parties. ships need to be HUGE with big chunks that can be blasted off.

Appears this may happen with the “Senior Unreal Engine” job position that is posted https://thefunpimps.com/jobs/
