Can you tell us how many programmers are still working on 7 Days?

I like how the lore/story gets deeper, while we have no idea who The Duke is and what his intensions are, yet. 

 

Go Pimps !

You mean Duke H Cassadore, 43, famous owner of the Cassadore casino?

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

It's like Durex but for zombies?

[Just wonder if I am the only one interested in who are these people? ))))]

so before any wrong gossips get started... i am officially retired from testing now and my name will be moved in the credits to reflect it. its been a long winding fun road but bones are too old for running from zombies.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that.

You will be missed as a QA, you were awesome!

I'm sure (or I hope) we'll continue to see you here from time to time.

 I’m glad you are the one who is wrong about this because if students could gain new knowledge simply by repeating and practicing their current knowledge, I would be out of a job. 
 

The type of learn by doing we had in the game had nothing to do with how we have evolved as a species but it did have a lot to do with how some members of the species could become masters of skills they already had. 
 

 

Well, you don't learn tennis by reading a magazine and you don't become better at it by reading more magazines.

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

I would gladly pay for additional content (new zombies, new animals, new biomes, new weapons, new POI for instance).

[Radeon RX 6800 XT Graphical Issues]

Is this still an issue now?

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

There are even POI named after the man.

That wouldn’t stop nerdpoling. It would just leave the remains of nerdpoling littering the server. Then again…new chunk reset timer!

That would make people think about it at least.

Nerdpoling cannot be killed, since you will always be able to place blocks and jump on them, place ladders, etc.

I think it's more about balancing it. Make you think about it.

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Instead of removing nerd polling, they could also try to remove the pickup option (E) when outside your LCB.

You would still be able to escape, but it would cost you a little bit.

I was just poking fun at those who don’t like it.

What?!?!

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

I don't see the bandits in the confirmed features of A21 by the way.

Is there a possibility they'd be pushed back to another alpha? (Another alpha? Yeah!)

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

The real question here is, if you place your dew collector on a mountain, do you get energy drinks? (OK, I'm already out; sorry.)

[A20.6 EXP]

Hey @Hated, I believe @faatal mentionned a fix on POI windows some time ago (which causes lag in cities).

I don't see it in this list.

Will this only be included in A21? Thanks.

 

Edit: Nevermind, I was a bit behind on A21 dev diary and found out it will only be in A21

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

I'm not sure if this has been asked already, but could the drone get out of the way when in 'combat' mode?

At least, when I aim at something with a rifle or a crossbow and such?

Maybe it could get behind you or just on the side.

[[Prefabs] ZZTong's Custom POIs]

Universities could be an ultimate goal, but you could make each building separately (the library, the pool, the dorms, the cafeteria...).

Worst case scenario, these are still valid POI on their own.

I had this fantasy about a pool, with like a sunny nice side on top and a dark side with the machinery and stuff underneath.

I tried once, but I suck so much at building, it didn't pan out.

I'll try to give it another go at some point.

[[Prefabs] ZZTong's Custom POIs]

Hey @zztong, have you ever considered building a massive Olympic swimming pool? (Like a tier 3-4-5 ish.)

[Starting New Game - Show Date/Time of Map Generation]

I didn't find what I was looking for in the XUiC_NewContinueGame controller unfortunately.

It's been a while, so I might be wrong but you may have to mod it in using harmony.

[New kind of POI: Other survivors bases]

Ah ah!!! Awesome!!

I'm sure this would trigger a "Dafuq?" moment the first time you encounter this one.

[Starting New Game - Show Date/Time of Map Generation]

Looks like it could be in 

<window name="newContinueGame"...

 

[Starting New Game - Show Date/Time of Map Generation]

Have you looked into xuiGameSettingsGeneral, maybe this can be modded with xml?

(Or in windows.xml in general.)

[Some QoL ideas]

I think I'd prefer the repair to happen if durability is 0 and you just press R without having to hold it.

Holding R is not a significant gain imo in the heat of battle.

I think #2 was discussed at some point but is either far on the to do list or it was not that simple.

I like #4, would be interesting to see something like that.

[Starting New Game - Show Date/Time of Map Generation]

As a bonus, if we could see GameVersion and GenerationSeed from the map_info.xml, that would be nice.

[[Prefabs] ZZTong's Custom POIs]

The tile system sounds like fun, I'll need to look into this as well!

[New kind of POI: Other survivors bases]

Alright, I'll look into it, sounds fun!

And thank you so much!
