Everything was going great, day 29, I had enough resources to survive forever, big as fuck impenetrable house, everything ordered because autism, still had electricity and water, 156 zombies killed, decent skills, and while I was managing my inventory half the house behind my back was on fire and I died. I was mad as fuck at the game because what the fuck why am I randomly on fire, then I remembered I was cooking some pork chop.
How you been holding up, /v/?
>>330747556
I can't find an axe so I'm felling trees with hammers. Lots of hammers.
>>330747556
YOu built that fucking fortress in 29 days?
I usually die by infection by day 15.
>>330747810
The filename is "not OC" and the days survived in that pic says 1 year
>>330747556
holy
shit, that fortress
i should check on what's updated; it's been so long
Game?
>>330747954
Project Zomboid
is this any good? how's the multiplayer?
>>330748126
GOTY tier and I'm not exaggerating. I haven't played the multiplayer yet though
>>330748126
The multiplayer is very good if you've got a friend to play it with.
Several times me and a friend hopped onto a public server and tried to start some kinda gang, shooting all other survivors. It's fun. Once we punched another asshole to death, but his friend survived, escaping with a limping leg. I can't remember what happened to him, he probably bled to death.
The multiplayer is also very buggy. Or at least it was. I once hacked away at a guy for 5 minutes and nothing happened.
Engineer seems like the best job, right?
>>330750168
If first time playing;
You're gonna die within 1 hour so don't bother putting to much thought into planning your first character.
>>330750457
I'm not that guy but I'm OP and it was my first run, it was on normal mode though
>>330750168
Burger Flipper is easier to relate to if you're roleplaying
>>330747556
How long have you been playing this game? I bought it like 2 years ago, liked it but decided I should wait until it's more finished. Is it worth playing now?
>>330750980
I have 11 hours played
>Project Zomboid's still being worked on
What.
>>330751393
Why would it stop being developed?
>>330751995
Because the laptop got stolen.
>>330751995
>>>330751995
>Because they are incompetent "no release date, rushed features bad features" shmucks who are too stupid to back up their work, and have the pr managment of a dead rat like 80% of all indieshitters. The game also gets boring real fast unless you sperg over muh high scores.
>>330752398
>The game also gets boring real fast
How fast is real fast exactly for you?
>>330747556
Whats the game called?
>>330752631
Project Zomboid
>>330752631
Project: NPCs never ever
>>330747556
looks promising but I'd rather play cataclysm DDA
>>330752461
Fast enough to not merit the price. Personally spent 15-20 hours total since i had the game before steam. Still subjective but it would be a simple thing to fix but they refuse because "muh vision".
There is no end goal or obejective outside make somthing up or get a high score. And 15 hours is about all it takes to experience what the game has to offer.
>>330752706
wait what? They still haven't added NPCs? It's been like 3 fucking years
>>330752794
can't you just mod whatever you want to?
>>330752631
read thread faggot
>>330752858
No because the modding community is pretty dead and bland, and i have better games to play/ a backlog to work on.
One day Ill go back to the game to experiance npc's. Aka, never.
As far as a game about traditional zombies, pz is one of the tops. But i never feel satisfied after playing, because im not at some video arcade waving my dick around about my x years survived.
Do you always start in the same house?
>tfw your friends stop playing PZ
>>330753406
Well I just started a game 3 times and it's always the same house
>>330753442
are you choosing the same scenario? same profession/skills?
>>330753487
No, first playthrough it was Initial Infection and now I'm trying The First Week with a different character but it's the same house
>>330753539
well idk i just started 4 games with the same character and scenario and got different houses each time
>>330748126
Setting up a remote dedicated server is such a fucking pain in the ass.
Also, you can't sleep in multiplayer, so surviving sickness can be tough.
Other than that, it's amazing.
I'm an alcohol powered, revolver toting german terminator at the helm of a mobile death fortress in Cataclysm DDA and I'm rolling eastwards stripping the land of everything scrap of value.
>>330747556
How many more thefts have they declared to justify taking this long? The game looks like it did years ago.
>>330756216
Dunno I'm not following the development
>>330752078
dude that was like 5 years ago
It's my dream to have a big as fuck fort but I'm never even close to even start building one
Anyone here wanna play some?
I've played 51hrs and started over several times in singleplayer.
It's always the same.
>get a sweater and drop every other clothing
>try to find a dufflebag and some weapons
>you will find enough food for a long time
>use blunt weapons/hands, because they don't wear out so fast
>search for axe, hammer, nails, ropes and guns
>get bitten and die horribly within hours
so how was a game that was literally dead with the devs suffering some kind of nevous breakdown and making off with the kickstarter money after making up some kind of story about the laptop holding the master copy of the game burgled suddenly get back on its feet and become a decent game?
how does that shit work?
>>330757903
I find it hard to die from getting bitten, it's pretty easy to manage zombies unless there's a crap load of them
>>330758020
Well from my understanding they had that retarded ass bump in development but a bit after that went right back to developing. I'm shocked it's made any progress.
>>330757487
Like, how the fuck did that guy get the resources and time to build that in 2 months and not starve to death
>>330758572
you should just ignore anime posters. it's basically trollface. they never come up with anything, just repeat what they read and try to look clever by adding a simple question.
>inb4 "Do we?"
>>330758025
I would love to have non-deadly fevers 90% of being bitten. But the last time I played, every fever was deadly. Even if I had a fridge full of cooked food and enough medication and bandages.
treatment is the funniest part of the game in my opinion, because you should be prepared for it.
>>330761520
>picking hypochondriac ever
>>330761643
never thought of that desu
I just made a new character and I made him like this:
>Positive traits:
ENGINEER
Cat's eye
Fast learner
Stout
Handy
>Negative traits:
Slow reader
Clumsy
Weak stomach
Hemophobic
Sleepyhead
Thin-skinned
Slow healer
What do you think? All I have to do is be safe around zombies and don't go out when it's raining, rite?
>Day 7 or 8
>Find a farmhouse, out in farmland, but still close enough to the city
>Zombies are on urban focused so this seems like a good choice
>Checking out the house, clear it out, start moving in
>It has an onsuite garage with a window looking out over it
>This looks like a good escape route, I can fall down onto the garage roof and then off from there
>Test it out
>Fall through the roof into the garage and fracture my thigh
>Spend the days healing (like a fucking month) going out to one house at a time, then coming back with enough food to survive, but I walk so slow I can only do it one house per day
Holy fuck breaking your leg sucks to much
>>330747795
You can forage the ground, get a stick and chipped stone, and combine them with ripped sheets to make a crude axe, it works much faster than hammers too
>>330762049
I don't know if clumsy is the way it used to be but if it is you may have a hell of a time dealing with the sound you make. I swear it was like running around with bicycle horns attached to the bottom of your shoes.
>>330747556
I still remember getting into a server with a bunch of furfaggots roleplaying in their giant fortress near the pier. I grabbed a bunch of fuel and lit the whole area on fire, but just before stealing all of their seeds, guns, medicine and hid all of it in like 4 backpacks in the woods.
They were butthurt for days because the admin couldn't roll back the world and they literally turned on each other, shouting blame and violent vitriol in all directions at global chat. I wish this game had a restart function because it's so frustrating getting into a server with faggots that are twinked to death with a bunch of shit so unless you have a squad that doubles them in number you can literally do absolutely nothing.
>>330765680
what, there's no lobby system? just randomly get into a server?
>>330765858
You mean like whitelisting or something?
I did that a year ago, so I'm not sure what they have added since, but I just got in freely.
Its nice but zombies don't feel dangerous at all.
Beginning is mindles running away from neverending zombies for 15 minutes until you find a weapon.
this game needs a companion or NPCs or something, it feels too barren, i got bored of it fast because of this.
>>330766451
what you need is friends, not companions, you autist
>>330766451
I don't know if they would be able to make a companion right, I think if anything it would fuck immersion in the ass. I also feel like it would be a pain to have a companion follow you around making noise and stuff, I prefer playing as a single character.
NPCs are a must though.
>>330759616
Starting building isn't that hard. You level up in Carpentry pretty quick. In two weeks you can have an enclosure ready to go. So two months shouldn't be impossible.
>>330765680
if they're roleplaying I think that turned out pretty well. I mean I remember roleplaying in a couple of Homeworld matches way back. I lost, but it was still fun.
Endgame is nonexistant.
The game becomes incredibly boring when you reach the stage where you can just sit in your fort eating your plants unless you force yourself to go out. Otherwise, you can't die unless you fuck something up and burn your fort down.
There's multiplayer now?
How easy is it to coop with a friend?
>>330769387
People seem to be having more fun in multiplayer rather than singleplayer, I haven't tried it.
>>330747556
All I remember about project zomboiipussy is that the developer threw a huge hissy fit about people pirateing the early access and he quit the game and it took like a year and a less pixelated style to get it back up and running. and well over a dozen new zombie survival games sprung up in the mean time.
How is the online aspect holding up?
>>330769387
It's easy enough. I've done it a few times.
>>330770835
Is there lan? And can pirates play LAN games?
Does multiplayer still have permadeath?
>>330772329
No, there's not Lan, but it's real easy to just start your own private server. What games have Lan these days, man?
Don't know about piracy.
If you die in the game, just rejoin as a new character.
