[img=http://projectzomboid.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Butters-712x462.jpg] After last week’s blow-out on Creative Mode, the improvement of map height limits in preparation for Louisville, the inclusion of subterranean locations and the internal testing of General Arcade’s co-op build and EasyPickins’ snazzy and more efficient lighting rewrite… the general gist of this Mondoid is that we’re getting on with all of the above. With that said, here are a few extra nuggets. ⦁ We intend to open up an IWBUMS public beta containing EP’s lighting upgrade and, quite possibly, the ‘easier to get going with co-op’ stuff too. They’re the sort of things that’ll require testing out on a wide variety of machines. Watch the forums and our Twitter for news on that one. (When Creative arrives, meanwhile, it’ll be in the form of a separate beta channel that’ll operate in much the same fashion as the way we first introduced MP to the community.) ⦁ RJ’s food system revamp continues, and it feels like most of the code elements are in place – and now just need balance so that long term survivalists will feel its impact and respond accordingly, while shorter-term players live/die/repeat without having to worry too much. If you want to provide statistical feedback then the playable build can be discovered here. [We also have sliced ham now, look it’s true.] [img=http://projectzomboid.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_22022016_105734.png] ⦁ Turbo’s work on taking the work that formerly was done by Microsoft Excel and packaging a Radio/TV/Survivor Broadcast editing suite and timeline into WordZed continues before its release to our modders and community translators. It currently looks like this. There’s also been some map work done so that hi-fis are found in a fair few houses, so radio transmission content is far easier to come across without the need for inventory/carried radios and walkie-talkie systems. ⦁ A fair few members of the team are now brainstorming ways to improve on our current Inventory UI, which is perfectly fine in terms of workability – but certainly could be a little slicker and easily comprehensive. The results of this won’t be in-game before we’ve talked, experimented loads and found something we’re 100% happy with, but it’s worth mentioning that it’s very much something that’s under the microscope. This week’s featured image by Butters. The Block of Italicised Text would like to point earnestly in the general direction of the PZ Wiki should you feel like editing or amending something, and the PZ Mailing List that can send blogs like this and patch notes direct to your mailbox. We also live on Twitter here! The BOIT salutes you!

Project Zomboid is an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox. It asks one simple question – how will you die?

In the towns of Muldraugh and West Point, survivors must loot houses, build defences and do their utmost to delay their inevitable death day by day. No help is coming – their continued survival relies on their own cunning, luck and ability to evade a relentless horde.

Current Features

Hardcore Sandbox Zombie Survival Game with a focus on realistic survival.
Online multiplayer survival with persistent player run servers.
Local 4 player split-screen co-op
Hundreds of zombies with swarm mechanics and in-depth visual and hearing systems.
Full line of sight system and real-time lighting, sound and visibility mechanics. Hide in the shadows, keep quiet and keep the lights off at night, or at least hang sheets over the windows.
Vast and growing map (loosely based on a real world location) for you to explore, loot and set up your fortress. Check out Blindcoder’s map project: http://pzmap.crash-override.net/
Use tools and items to craft weapons, barricade and cook. You can even build zombie proof forts by chopping trees, sawing wood and scavenging supplies.
Deal with depression, boredom, hunger, thirst and illness while trying to survive.
Day turns to night. The electricity falters. Hordes migrate. Winter draws in. Nature gradually starts to take over.
Farming, trapping, fishing, carpentry, cooking, trapping, character customization, skills and perks that develop based on what you do in-game.
Proper zombies that don’t run. (Unless you tell them to in the sandbox menu).
A ton of amazing atmospheric music tracks by the prodigy that is Zach Beever.
Imaginative Challenge scenarios and instant action ‘Last Stand’ mode, on top of regular Sandbox and Survival
Full, open and powerful Lua modding support.
Xbox Controller Gamepad support on Windows. [Others pads can be set up manually. Gamepad support not currently available on Mac]

We’re a small team at the moment, but we’re also committed to providing the following:
Planned Features:
The return of our PZ Stories mode that also serves as first ever tutorial actively trying to kill you at every turn. Kate and Baldspot return!
In-depth and varied NPC encounters driven in a persistent world, powered by a metagame system that turns each play-through into your very own zombie survival movie with emergent narrative gameplay.
Constant expansion of the countryside and cities around Muldraugh and West Point
Full wilderness survival systems, animals and hunting for food.
More items, crafting recipes, weapons and gameplay systems.
Steam Workshop and Achievements support
