Hello survivors! Three things of note this week.
FINAL BUILD 41 PATCH RELEASED
This afternoon we put out 41.78 to the stable branch, and you
can read its changelist here.
Nothing seems to have exploded just yet, but there will very likely be a hot fix for anything that does crop up. Weve had a few complaints of visual issues with some clothing that wed thought wed fixed for instance, that can probably get a quick look-over again before we move on.
This patch is largely quality of life changes, some MP tweaks and fixes for longstanding annoyances so hopefully youll see a few things in the changelist that make you feel both cherished
and warm.
Other than that hot fix, unless we return if circumstances demand it, the final devs who were tinkering in Build 41 will from this point on all be fully aboard the Build 42 train.

First, let us reiterate Build 42 is still a long way off. However RJs development playpen for the domestic animals that the build will feature is still ticking along quite nicely. This week he has prepared two videos for your delight but first TWO caveats.
First, our animator Martin wants it known that one of the things well be working on will be the way animals turn / turn when they move.
Secondly, clearly what youre seeing here is debug dev-stuff especially how it looks and operates when leading an animal around on a rope. We havent quite landed on the best way to herd animals around yet, and will likely have to land at a halfway house between realistic, feasible and fun. Likewise, thirdly I guess, UIs clearly arent final yet either.
So heres proof that you can pet the cute little animals in Build 42 of Project Zomboid.

And heres how to coax them into a trailer so you can cart them off to slaughter them somewhere distant so their loud desperate squeals wont attract zombies.
