Have a health item in the inventory of the character you want to heal and right click it.

I'm really not sure what could be causing your problem. You can try downloading one of the older versions first, as those use an installer that might configure things properly for the newer version to run too. (I have no clue if it will work, but it's worth a shot.)

Hello, and welcome to IndieDB!

You'll need to open the (.rar) file you downloaded with an archiver like 7zip or WinRAR. If you don't already have one, you can download 7zip for free at: 7-zip.org
Once that's installed and you've opened the file with it, select the files you see in there (In this case, just a folder called TTDC_0.0.0.5) and then click "Extract". Choose wherever you want to put the game files. Then navigate to where you put them and double-click the .exe file.

That should be it, Enjoy!

P.S. If it isn't running for you, there will be a text file in the same folder called "Troubleshooting" which has some links to a couple other things you might need for the game to work.

I'm not really sure at this point. I'd like to finish it, but I have a full time job now and can't find the time or energy to work on it any more. I may still pick it back up at some point in the future though.

The map will be a fixed size, but it will be larger than it is in the alphas.

It's ready for the next update, but I'm not sure when that will be yet. There's still a couple other things I need to finish up before I release it.

Yes! I'm still working on the game when I can. Things have been a bit hectic. I've just moved across the country and started a new job and don't have internet set up at my new place yet. I'll probably explain what's going on a bit better in the news post with the next update (which will be up ASAP once I get internet).

Items haven't been balanced properly yet since the game's still pretty early in development. I'd rather it be a little too easy than too hard.

As for the item dropping problem, I noticed it happens dropping items from the shared slots. It's been fixed for the next update. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! :)

Alpha 0_0_0_5 will be delayed a bit so that it can be a more significant update. Just in case anyone was wondering where it is.

Game saves will be available in the next update. (should be out next weekend)

ah yeah, I've just noticed that the "HiDef" profile is on by default. I can probably switch it down without any trouble as the game doesn't use any fancy 3D or shaders.

So unfortunately, it's not something you can fix on your end right now, but you should be able to play the next alpha. Sorry for the inconvenience.

There will definitely be character customization and more variety in the characters in the future. And I have some plans for the safe house but I don't want to say too much right now as they might change.

Probably about 2-3 weeks from the last update if everything goes as planned. The main feature for the next update is game saves (finished that up today), but I want to take some time to add a couple other things too.

Not yet. For now you can freely add any survivors you find to your team without the worry of getting shot in the face. :P

That's actually already planned. :D For now all the survivors are friendly, but there will eventually be some survivors who would rather kill you and take your stuff than join you.

Feel free to send me any other suggestions you have. If you don't want to post them in the comments here, you can always PM me. :)

Thanks for the suggestions! :D

You're right, it's stuff I've thought about, but haven't gotten around to implementing yet. The zombie spawning and density will have to be balanced and tweaked but I plan to rework that whole area when I start adding new zombie types.

And there will be more variety to the levels and different ways to get around, not necessarily bridges or sewers though.

(Я использую переводчик так что надеюсь, это понятно.)

Я работаю на этом игру в одиночку так что прогресс будет немного медленным, но я не планирую останавливаясь, пока это не закончено. Я мог бы добавить мультиплеер, но я сосредоточен на одиночной на данный момент.

Спасибо за ваш комментарий. :)

Thanks a lot! And I'm always open to suggestions. I can't promise everything will make it into the game, but if it's a really good idea that fits well, it can be added later on when I'm done with the basic game mechanics.

There's no official pricing yet, but for now it looks like $5 if pre-ordered during the alpha/beta and then it will go up to $10 after the full release. Anyone who pre-ordered will still get the full game. But again, these prices aren't set in stone and may change.

I'm not sure what could be causing that. If you have a previous version, try uninstalling it first as sometimes it doesn't want to install over the old files. Otherwise, make sure you have the latest .NET framework installed then try clicking "Setup.exe" again.

You might have to uninstall it from your "programs and features" then try installing 3 again.

I personally don't think a hunger bar would add much fun to the game. There will be other reasons why the player shouldn't sit in one spot for too long. So unless there's a lot of demand for it, I don't plan on adding a hunger system.

Thanks!

There will be some new weapons in the next update. They'll still be in the 4 main categories(pistol,shotgun,assault rifle,sniper) but with different stats.

Multiplayer isn't in the original plan, but I've always considered it as a possibility later on. I'm focusing on singleplayer for now though.

As for greenlight, I'm going to wait until the game is further along in development before I submit it.

The next update should be in 2-3 weeks.

And I *think* copying the new install files into the old folder and overwriting the old files, then clicking Setup.exe should install it over the old version. I'm not 100% sure, the ClickOnce installer is still new to me.

There is a Feedback/Bug Report link on the bottom right of the pause menu in the game. The link is also available on the first alpha news post just below the download.
