Any chance we'll see anything new of A21 in the next month? I noticed it was September the last time there was a piece of art posted on social media

 

Well this answers that question.... 

 

My next question is... What the @%$#?

Clarification: "the next Alpha" is referring to Alpha 22. -CC

Why do you hate us?

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Please don't drop A21 the same week as Sons of the Forest...

 

Thank you 😉

If they already did content lock then it doesn't matter. The things they already locked in is what they are still working out to be ready for A21 not to scrap it and delay it even longer to add more just because they didn't make it before they holidays.

 

Also I feel it was more of the players that was expecting it before the holidays with the developers in hope they can be ready. As far as I seen no developer said it would be out before the holidays. So as far as they are aware everything is still on schedule. Just doesn't seem like that for us on the outside. 

 

Pretty sure one of them said at one stage they were aiming for it to be out for the Steam Winter sale, that's the timeframe I'm working from

On the first page there is stated that it might come in alpha 22 release.... Hopefully

 

I think that was based on them aiming for A21 to be out in 2022. I'm hoping maybe that A21 is now seemingly still a couple of months away that it'll allow them to get bandits in for A21 instead of A22

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

I asked before but maybe it got lost in the usual drama of this thread.

 

With A21 cycle seemingly going longer than expected, are bandits potentially back on the table for A21?

Isn't this already a thing?

I guess they mean for lower tier stuff? There's no iron tool parts or pipe machine gun parts etc

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

There is no A21

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

I'll take the current level of graphic fidelity in 7 Days over the pixelated art of Minecraft or Valheim every time

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

The question is, with A21 likely being at least a month away at this point, have Bandits come back into play for A21?

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Killing NPCs (as they are implemented by modders) still counts as a player kill, it's the only reason I managed to get that achievement on Steam.

 

I expect TFP implemented NPCs will likely work differently

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Happy new year all. It's officially the year of Alpha 21

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Would an end of year 'progress update' have been nice? Yes

 

BUT

 

TFP have pretty consistently shown (especially this dev cycle) that it's not a level of communication we're going to get so it shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone.

 

Be thankful the few devs that post on the forums even bother

 

I also think it's much better that the devs are currently focusing on their families and the holidays so they can come back to A21 fresh in 2023 rather than having them crunching over the holidays to meet to arbitrary deadline. Nobody needs to get burned out to give us an update for the game

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

I think it's basically this at this stage for us impatient folk

no one said there wouldnt be* ... only there wouldnt be any soon... back when it was asked 100 times.

 

just isnt ready for prime time eyeballs yet and devs agree that they will not showcase anything with big issues and or bugs in it.

 

so in time... there will/should be some streams (just not soon)

 

* at least i do not remember anyone in an official status make that statement.

 

 

Oh yeah, I'm not saying anyone said there wouldn't be. But with the marked change in communication for A21 vs A19 or A20, it wouldn't have been particularly surprising to see dev streams be scrapped altogether

 

Also, if dev streams are happening but aren't soon then it feels we're much further away from seeing A21 than I was expecting from previous comments about it. Are we still over a month away at this stage?

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

So there will be dev streams? 

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Don't suppose one of the devs decided to figure out zombie clothes colour variations for A21 by any chance?

More vehicle improvements for A21:

Ragdolls from death have a short time they can still collide with vehicles (was boring before as they slid through vehicles).
Improved vehicle hit forces on ragdolls (accurate body hits for more realistic tossing/spinning and those hits are a higher percent of damage, so more blood).
Vehicle hits can cause dismemberment.

 

 

7 Days to Carmageddon... I'm looking forward to causing Max Damage

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Did the new vulture model make it into A21?

 

Also any other changes to the animals (behaviour or appearance)?

[Alpha 21 Dev Diary]

Suggestion: Let us put the repulsor mod on vehicles so we can punt zombies... Realistic? No... Hilarious? Surely
