I'm not sure. I would like to see the quests restricted somewhat and pushed out farther but I am not a big quester and others on the team have their own opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like myself still want to point in any direction while on the ladder, so you will see what exactly? My gun pointed away from the ladder with my torso twisted backwards? Zombies need to be able to attack in any direction yet still be hanging on the ladder somehow. There is no good solution for the direction issue, which is why some games lock feet/hands/camera while climbing, which always feels like garbage, just so it looks nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, this is one of those situations where anything is better than nothing. For instance, if entities merely transitioned out of the climbing animation when attacking or looking around, that might not look the best, but it would be better than what we have now. But I understand that there are more important issues, so I won't get upset about it. Good to know it was at least considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can already imagine how ridiculous a player would look like stuck in a climbing animation while spinning around looking in different directions. Locking the player to the ladder could help but players/zombies would have to lose the ability to turn around and shoot until jumping off. There is no simple solution. At least what we have now, players can visually tell which direction zombies and other players are facing while coming up ladders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXCamaleonXx Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hello family, sorry for the interruption. Does anyone know if there are news from December 17 or new images from July? Some video on some channel or something. For family and work reasons I go in once a month or every 2 months. If someone could give me some news I would appreciate it. I'll be looking at the forum in a few hours. Thanks 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a post with a new character animation, but we probably won't see it until A22. https://twitter.com/7DaystoDie/status/1613643297049948161 Everything known about A21 can be found on the first page of this thread.

In other words an airport would be handled just like a small town where the streets and layout are fixed and locations for random POIs of specific sizes are set up. This way airports could have different sizes and layouts just like cities. @Laz Man wouldn't that be a project up your alley? 😉 Edited February 14, 2023 by meganoth (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part 2. Instead of a new tier, just have the Airport be the final quest CHAIN. We would clear the terminal, then the control tower, then hangar, and then runway. Finally, we fight the final boss and escape the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't think it's in the cards for 1.0. I would imagine the big blockers is art support and RWG code support. Although we can hodge podge some airplanes and other airport assets with shapes, it wouldn't look good enough to stand toe to toe with our art standards. Regarding RWG support, we would need a way to spawn tiles in a way to support the foot print of a runway. We don't have airports in A21 but there are a couple surprises in store yet...😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is tricky to pull off. Another game I play a ton(Star Citizen) is working on a way to do this, as well as vaulting and climbing animations, and have even showed some promising clips of it all working well, like being able to look around and even fire a weapon while on a ladder, as well as jump off and onto ladders at different points, slide down it, etc... alas it is not in-game yet(SC is infamous for this), so... But it did look like it worked well, it's just really complex setting up all the character rig constraints for all situations. Plus to make things even trickier that overall game environment has varying levels of gravity, and EVA animations, to figure out. But it could be a year or two, or more, before it is in our hands to play with and test. ANYWAY... I used to check in on this forum daily, but it's been what feels like forever. How's progress on the next update going? I miss this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck Madmole hasn't even been on the website since September 2022. If A21 is out before June, I'll be shocked. My money is on August for A21 with A22 comming in the middle to end of 2024.

I just checked and I didn't see anything to specify sides on a tile where no other tile should attach. I assume you mean that that is missing, right? Yeah, I think that would be generally something needed for the tile system to get some interesting applications. Likewise you should be able to specify a group of tiles that can attach to some side of a tile exclusively. In fact such a feature would also make it possible to specify a no-attach side, solving two problems. 1 hour ago, Laz Man said: We don't have airports in A21 but there are a couple surprises in store yet...😉 Edited February 14, 2023 by meganoth (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Doesn't need to be a full runway. Just a remnant. Rubble at the ends of the runway merging into grass. Certainly plausible after a nuclear war. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
