What's in store for the next update / updates, this post will outline what I'm working on and got planned.
This is a post carrying on from August's post
https://strawpoll.com/polls/kogjv4L79g6
The next update:
- The map expansion update is nearly done, and it is based around Lawrence Creek Town, I have one final location to flesh out (The prison), a bit of lore in the form of notes and various objects like harvestable wood, etc to place.
- To add to this, I have been working on adding various options the player can change to either make the game easier or harder (More can be added as time goes on).
- To make stealth more fun, I will as well be adding critical hits when a zombie is facing away from the player, player input will be needed to make this feature the best it can be.
Future or even in the next update:
- Player will be able to carry 2 primary firearms, carry that assault rifle and your sniper with ease.
- Bandits! To begin with they will either randomly spawn in areas or on randomly spawned bandit camps in the wilderness, expect to find good loot there. I will as well be looking into adding items you can only get from killing and looting bandits and their camps.
- Items update; Adding many more weapons to the game, more buildables and much more. As well, more rarities for items, for example finding a rusty M4 or a damaged backpack that has less space. This update will as well have changes for backpacks, while you will still be able to do backpack in backpack, it will be not as effective as I will be increasing the slot size of all backpacks (The items update will as well result in there needing to be a wipe, due to these changes).
- After these updates, the skill system, more info in the future.
- I am as well working on a proper trailer for the game, any suggestions I'd be happy to hear for it.
A question to the community:
At the top of this post, I have posted a strawpoll with a question to you, should the map expansion and items update be combined to make a much larger update, or keep them both separate (Remember items update will result in a wipe).
Thank you for all the support and I look forward to releasing more larger updates!
