Henrique Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Guys, I just wanted open up discussion of Alpha 17. Sorry we have been tight lipped about it, but I wanted to try something different this time where we talk about finished or work in progress features rather than stuff we simply planned. This leads to less frustration because usually once something is started we finish it, where its easy to plan a bunch of stuff and have it slip through the cracks, which is disappointing for all of us. I will say we're ramping up the team, we've hired two new senior programmers, a concept artist, an environment artist, a designer, and we have about 5 new full time world builders. I'll begin showing stuff on youtube real soon. I have two keyboards hooked up at the same time now so I can annoy people if I want, or use the quiet keyboard if I want Nice to hear you are alive and you are working on A17! I think you are right that is a better way to do things!! TFP I trust!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrionLord Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Two questions I am curious about: 1. Are there any plans to fix silent enemies? I am all for a challenge but a horde of five silent dogs or wolves/direwolves coming up behind you is pretty much instadeath and pointless from a gameplay standpoint. 2. Any word on whether the Behemoth is going to make it into A17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepiggio Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Can we be able to turn off the Blood Moon?, & have a Wandering Horde option instead. I like the old game play with the Zed Ai & Wandering Hordes instead of stressing out on a constant "Gotta rebuild the Base", "Gotta rebuild the Base", "Gotta rebuild the Base". I want my activity to determine when a Horde comes, sound, smell, sight, heat & not the game clock, remember? I also think you can out run or out maneuver most Zeds when you are exhausted or close to it. This makes looting garbage really easy & running around the map to loot or collect items like Yucca. I know we can craft drinks for replenishment & Buffs but if you are running through the forest to the point where you are breathing hard & the game gets really laggy you should suffer the consequences when you see a Zed. I would like to see it get harder to get away if you suddenly encounter a Zed over a hill when you are tired, I can easily get away most of the time. You should be too tired to escape & have to stand & fight at some point in the game, you should have to swing your Club as fast as your tired ass can swing it. Edit: Nobody posted in A16.3B12 yet, ? Will there be an update that will require a restart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been....meh around here without you. Best of luck on developing 17 and look forward to our next stop on this crazy journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anabella Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 You ever thought about hooking up with "microsoft" they seem to be very open to Getting Games to their Max potential...just a thought They also seem to have a habit of killing out stuff I love so uh no thank you on them doing that to 7 days.

Jedo Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 One of the things I found interesting in The Walking Dead was a scene when a helicopter flew by, and all the brainless zombies shambled off in the direction that they last saw/heard it. What if air drops brought a horde? What if driving by a group on the minibike triggered them forming into a horde and they shambled off after you? Just a thought.

AeonGenii Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The Performance is 7 days is surprisingly really smooth.

Aldranon Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Looking forward to Airships and trainable Zombie bears so I can assault the New World Order's HQ of Doom! That and a silencer for my rocket launcher would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackelmyer Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I just hope this is the great Bandit/NPC update. <3 Really bring a change to the game like Distant Visuals did. That and a settings option to chill out Screamers. Blasted busy work zombies. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerfly Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Praying that larger backpacks are a thing in a17. This backpack thing is that it teases many players. With few ppl that play around a lot (1000+ hours) we were thinking of different types of player characters with upgradable perks. Such as bigger backpack or more stamina. Or beer resistanse. Lets say we have 3 types - a looter/scavanger, marine, medic/farmer. It will mess and both add and remove good stuff from the game but it`s what could be best way to add bigger backpack without destroying experience in MP/PVP In SP - god I hope we have at least an upgrade or a lootable bigger (very rare) backpack. Or a pickup truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stallionsden Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Nawww such a buzz kill not having things to look forward to in a17. Meh back to the modding section for me.

Sadly not enough time , so keep doing it instead of us And some of your ideas could be ingame , who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiXXR Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think it's more a "plan ahead" type of thing. Place your zip lines BEFORE the hoard for quick escape or to move from fort to fort seamlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gronk Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 AI and water should really be near the top of the list for stuff to do. Both are core mechanics who's current systems are a hindrance to any system built on top of them. With water we can have rivers, with AI we can have a challenge.
