A new playtest is coming this weekend, and with that an update to the game!
Patch notes for v0.0.7:
- Added the first iteration of the perk system! More on that below.
- Updated the Gore system with dismemberment. (also updated all gore effects)
- Added a countdown timer on the server browser menu if the playtest server is offline.
- AI zombies now only use limbs after the halfway point. (halfway point is either when there are more human controlled zombies than hunters or when the timer has passed half of the round time)
- AI zombies now don't stand still anymore when they get confused
- AI zombies now significantly use less resources
- Fixed a bug where zombies could spawn within view.
- Fixed some glitchy spots on maps.
The Perk System
Starting this Friday I'll be away for a week, and I was in the middle of working on the perk system after having finished the gore update. However I didn't want to postpone this update as it does contain performance improvements and general gameplay improvements.
So just to let you all know, the perk system is currently very a work-in-progress. But you'll have access to 8 perks so far, 4 for the hunter and 4 for the zombie. All unlocking on various ranks.
They're functional but unbalanced and the artwork is very much placeholder for now.
There are 36 more perks on the to-do list though so with the next patch expect some solid options to pick from! (hint: some of them involve going all in on your sentry)
Thanks for all the support so far!
