Matt115 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Well after so much years we are going to get A20. So my question is : which option do you prefer? paid dlc or sequel. By dlc i don't mean skins or comestic stuff but big espansions like - island map, horror pack ( new enemies, weapons items and poi connected with horror like - abadonned asylums with ghosts , summer camp with dead corpses and psycho ), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatical_Meat Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) By the time it is released I don’t think dlc would be practical, however I would be all for some small priced limited scope dlc but if it is clothing and weapons it would need to be a server side thing because otherwise it would suck trying to get everyone you play with to have the same dlc. Civ 6 does this well, expansions need all players to own, Civ packs do not but only people who own it can use the leaders. I love 7D2D, I also feel it is time to wrap it up and finish the damn game then the Pimps can move on to something else or maybe similar that can be on a newer game engine and they can address the shortfalls of 7D2D with its unlimited digging, building and so on. I be cool with a 7 Days to Die part 2 where there is less digging, lower volume (height), fewer fully destructible buildings and such but much larger world with far more zombies.

12pack Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The big MODs are like DLCs now, and every new alpha version is a new sequel, so... how about a whole new game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmer Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Cart before the horse? Why are we talking about what we want after the game is finished, prior to knowing what will be in the finished game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pApA^LeGBa Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Actually a sequel on Unreal engine 5 please. If that would mean really big hordes tough. This is what this game is missing so bad. Hordes that can be as big as 200 z´s with no lag. It´s one of the few things i really dislike in this game. Not enough zombies. @warmer They already work on a new game, but there is no info if it is something completly different or a sequel to 7D.

unholyjoe Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) i personally prefer the focus to be on the next "project" as DLCs can be from modders that will keep things interesting.

Well we are in the final phase of 7D. Hopefully. Also i think working on your next project while another one is still developed is business as usual.

BFT2020 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I would like for them to finish this game first before doing a sequel. By clarification, I mean work involving diving deep into the project of creating a sequel. Brainstorming ideas on how they would like to approach a 7D2D sequel is fine by me, but I would hate for coding work to be done before the game goes Gold and finishes with all the updates. Pulling model designers and animators to other projects if there is still work to be done on 7D2D in those areas - not cool. Doing the former when all the model design work and animation is done, sure no problems. We are on Alpha 20, but there will be at least one more Alpha if not more depending on how the work goes on to finish TFP vision on 7D2D. And yes, I would prefer a sequel not DLC as I don't think DLC will really work with this game IMHO. Based on my enjoyment of this game, I would prepay a sequel for 72D2 and would jump into Early Access in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside, how can it be "in the final phase" while its still in Alpha. Once it hits Beta, we can talk about it almost being done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, beta could start next year if things go well. Considering how long they already work on 7 days, i would call that the final phase, yeah. And it actually doesn´t matter if they work on a sequel or a another game. Both is business as usual. My personal guess is, that it is indeed a sequel. I think they coudln´t really do what they wanted to with Unity. And the next project is done on Unreal Engine. (That´s a fact, otherwise they wouldn´t hire people with experience in Unreal Engine) Edited August 24, 2021 by pApA^LeGBa (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star69 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Unfortunately, even with a different engine, it would be hard to get loads of zombies unless there was a big change to the game itself. Somewhere, in the far recesses of my mind, I remember talk on these forums a few years ago that removing underground mining might free up enough resources for things like more zombies but I could be misremembering. One of our forum members actually did some testing, I don't think it was Guppycur but I'm pretty sure he was part of the discussion. If he reads this, maybe he could remember more details. I do know that having a fully destructible world is one of the main reasons we can't have lots of zombies. A sequel where the game is not fully destructible and we get more zombies, more items etc would be a neat idea for a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganoth Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) The game already runs with a lot more zombies if you have a fast PC. This suggests that just by increasing the minimum specs of the game TFP could field a lot more zombies. A sequel could easily be released with (much) higher specs.

Do you watch walking dead? if yes i mean something like horde on highway or in prison Edited August 26, 2021 by Matt115 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And without dropping its standout feature 7D2D will never rival such games in terms of zombie numbers. Play DR if you want a mass of zombies. In the context of 7D2D, say 100-200 instead of 64 max zombies would be a major improvement.

There are a few options that make zombies in the world much more numerous (though not necessarily in POIs). There are overhaul mods out there where you don't have a free minute without some zombie trying to eat you. There should be modlets available with similar effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
