Greetings Survivors,
We are back with another Zeek Feed, this week we report back on what we worked on last week and what is on our radar for the next couple of weeks.
We released the latest hotfix last week to fix a lot of crash issues and other bugs that have been in our game for a long time, so far this has been a successful patch.
What we have been working on…
Last week more work was done on the quest system creating the quest camps and their locations on the map. Also a host of new quests including NPC quests, random events, world quests and more.
We have implemented and are still testing a new level streaming system for the map that will help improve loading time of joining/starting a game. This will also help solve issues with players with lesser gaming PC’s struggling to load into a game, in turn helping with our steamdeck development as this was one of the stumbling blocks prior to this addition.
Additionally, we’ve also been working on map improvements with new smaller POIs, more house variations and layouts, and also improving the foliage and colour palette with new trees.
The team is also testing new quick slots for watch and compass as this has been a highly requested feature to improve the amount of quickslots the player has.
There has been some work done with play testing with the controller support, we are now working through our list of actions to improve how the controller works and to make sure it’s 100% functional with all aspects of the game and UI.
Future stuff:
Plans to add more parts and items needed for vehicles, for example oil, spark plugs and potential for wheels as well.
SAT NAV item for vehicles that will be used as a mini map feature while driving.
More work on lore and ideas for potentially expanding the map.
Thanks for the support and taking the time to read our latest zeek feed.
And we’ll see you on the next one
Regards
HZ Team
