Don't know why they chose what they chose but whatever, diehard fans are gonna hate me for pointing this out either way... They DID choose a modular system for zombies and had to abandon it due to performance issues. I just have to point out that a lot of their constraints are due to the world being voxel but diehard critics are gonna hate me for pointing that out either way... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, are they getting their own vocal sounds, like female equivalents to the "malehate" sounds for the male bandits? ooh, and since there's a lot of schools they really need to add Spoiler thought I was gonna say it didn't you.

I hope they can strike a {somewhat?)satisfying compromise before gold. With the current benchmarks on my 980 4GB graphics card, i can truly say this is a very open possibility for them. I myself am working on contract with Unreal 5 working on internal data structures (C++, unlike Unity) and i very well know what HW is capable of doing these days. The game has afaik runtime culling implemented, which saves the performance by a lot too. By adding culling they opened enough free space for these kinds of things.

These are not Unity Unity is the game engine for 7D2D and it will stay that game engine. Maybe a sequel will use something different, maybe it won’t feature a fully destructible world and have more zombies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Just a question regarding balance. With murky water being much harder to obtain (i.e. only via looting) it means glue and therefore duct tape will be harder to obtain (especially for recipes which require a lot). For example, a box of exploding arrows would be an approx 60 toilets looted. Just wondering whether this change accompanies balance changes to impacted recipes?

Games'n'Grumble Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Hello, @faatal! You have already answered that DLSS and FSR are unlikely to be included in 7DTD, but what do you think about XeSS, a new technology being developed by Intel? Are the same principles used there? And also please tell us what you have been working on lately and what are you working on now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chose an easy path sometime ago (U M A) ... and then decided to do it the easy way (individual models) but repeated the process several times until it became waaaaAaay more time consuming, when a character creator with Zd stuff could've been made from scratch with lesser fuss in about the same time as those 3 tryouts. That was a mistake and resulted in huge costs, mainly in gameplay for us. An in-house modular character creator system would've consumed a lot less texture space with more variety as a result and way less repetition.

night.owl Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) I'm sure this question has been asked numerous times, but I have wondered since I played this game on my Xbox YEARS ago; is animal husbandry and taming animals (wolves, chickens, boars, (bears :0)) ever gonna be a feature discussed in this game? The drones are a new addition to the game that give me the vibe of a "companion" system and it almost seems to me like it's yall dipping your toes into the idea of having tamable dogs that can fight for you. I think the idea of a vulture you can tame and give a backpack for extra storage or something is super cool. Also will there ever be an option to switch the military time to am/pm?

I doubt it. The drone was chosen as a companion so that many problems with pathing could be avoided. An animal walking on the ground would cause a lot more problems. There are some mods that integrate taming in some form but don't make it too complicated. In the experimental version of the Undead Legacy mod you can pick up chickens and craft a chicken coop. This then provides you with a constant supply of eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you said tameable? My bad. No tamale dogs for you, their pathing doesn't let them fly...at least before you eat them. It's been mentioned recently. Woud be nice to have a Rin Tin Tin, but I wouldn't want to be tripping over the mutt all of the time...🐕🦺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
