games

This kinda took the wind out of my sails on it for now ngl.

I dont mind games with high barrier to entry or punishment for being a scrub though so ill keep my eye on it. Will possibly pick it up next month, if it ever goes on sale

Just play it when it's finished

Every good zombie game is never released from early access. Like DayZ. So I cant wait forever for them

mp isnt disabled

its disabled if you switch to the unstable build

you have to treat the game like you're in a real zombie scenario

you would not just run everywhere full speed and kill hundreds of zombies so you have to take it slow

but being in that restricted mindset is pretty fun

yeah, zomboid is a really good actual zombie sim

if you approach it from the "im in a zombie movie" mindset it feels very good

i think if anything though it's kinda not difficult enough

Build 42 came out in December, it will probably get MP enabled before the end of 2025 (optimistically)

ik Max is right, and you can just play on the old Build 41 w/ MP

42 has cool stuff but youre not playing a wildly different game

if you play 41 mp

well i guess the basement system is cool

probably my favorite use of them having a set map with rng elements

all basements in houses being randomized

is like the perfect middle ground

I really wish MP wasn't a complete afterthought for them, idk if 99% only play solo, it feels like co-op was why they had such a huge resergence and all

well i mean

its not an after thought its just

im excited to play 42 though

a lot of the stuff looks pretty cool

netcode is really hard they have devs that have been working while but can't into netcode

so they write everything

then have some schmuck convert it

but if everything is still wip

how the fuck do you keep up with editing it for mp

with 6 different people working on different things

I'm mostly annoyed from a modding standpoint, because you string along people who have to decide whether to release for the "current" build or the previous one

also ^^

theyd have to get a full team just for editing code to mp and whats the point of having the og team at that point then

i get why logistically even if it sucks

i cant think of any indie games with a server/sp element

for as many times as they've remade the entire game, I'm surprised they never made life easier on themselves in regards to their servers/netcode

the game in general is still kinda

messy in places

I wouldn't even care, if it didn't take a literal year I swing pretty wildly on what I think of IndieStone

zombies still dont activate inside houses until you look inside/window/touch the door to prevent it from being hell if you ran down a street and every single house door would break open

and they haven't come up with a solution better than they're just deactivated

so you can honk a siren infront of a house

and nothing will come out

have they removed skybridging yet

no but like

who cares if someone manually breaks the game

there should be a gravity system probably ye

I just get annoyed watching "SUPER ZOMBOID MEGA DEATH CHALLENGE"

and its like

IM STUCK INSIDE A SKYSCRAPER WITH MAX POPULATION

and then i bridged over literally everything

its so FUCKING BORING

peak zomboid content is really good tbh

and this SLOP ruins it

well it's literally impossible otherwise but yes

i still think sprinters are like actually good

i just wish there was more default settings for tuning the amount

I hope they've synced the available settings between dedicated servers and in-game servers

I think sprinters are cool

I remember years ago being annoyed by that

i think the sprinters are too glitchy

they should ficx that

most of those zomboid youtubers suck at the game and are just making clickbait

^

notice how none of them ever do anything with sprinters

tbh I'm surprised how few of them just mod in an easy mode

because sprinters are like actually difficult to play around

learning to fence bait them or use windows and jump over large fences to lose them quickly

too difficult

pulling more than 2 zombies is basically death

watching videos sprinters really deo just like

glitch all over the place

i think having like .5% of zombies being sprinters is so good for general atmoshpere and fear

having .1% be lennod

xD

imagine inf 100% of them were big chungus max would that make you laugh would it

not really

there's a lot of zombies
