Post news Report RSS Update: Alpha 0.1.4 is available!

Version Alpha 0.1.4 is now available for download, with new features such as Easter edition, injuries, a pause menu, character menu, tons of bugfixes and changes to combat, and new items!

Posted by on

Though you can read the complete changelog below, the most important updates are as follows;

Easter Edition! During the month of April, 12 Easter eggs are hidden somewhere in the map. Find them all and craft them together for a surprise! You had better hurry since April is running out!

Injuries sometimes caused by zombies! The more injured you are, the slower you move. Use a first-aid kit or craft a splint (plank, bandages, and rope) to allow your injuries to heal faster.

Injured after a fight

Crafting a Splint, for healing an injury;

Character menu to see more about yourself! Pressing C will open it, and from there you can see your name, portrait, days lived, zombies killed, and all of your experience levels.

Character Menu

At long last, a pause menu! Pressing escape exits to this instead of the main menu, so no more accidentally quitting the game. From here you can mess with settings or check the controls!

Pause Menu

Tons of bugfixes, including the long standing bug with missing paths upon load, and the annoying graphical bug where walls snap into view for a moment. Many more as well!

Many changes to combat! Headshots now focus faster the closer the zombie is to you, melee knockback depends on charge, you can hit multiple zombies with one swing, and much more!

Demonstration of some of the new mechanics;

New items and weapons, including an Uzi, Nailplank, Canteen, Bread, and Soda Bottles! Plus, new sprites for many melee weapons, and water containers can be refilled even if partially full.

_______________________________________________________

In addition, the launcher has now been updated to v1.1!

Launcher 1.1 changelog:

* Added new game logo to the header image.
* Added button to open content folder.
* Switched to new game icon.
* Minor other changes.

The old launcher will work fine as well, though, so only update if you want to.
