Hello, everyone!
We are continue the series of text Q&As we are running on a weekly basis on our Discord server.
Check out the questions that fellow community members asked last week:
Is there yet any delay expected yet or is the game still on-time? + Do your team planning announce exact release data in first day of November?,
No comments, as we've said multiple times - the moment there is info on the launch date and price, we'll be making announcements everywhere
How far are you guys in terms of being able to release the game? Just a rough percentage as an indicator would be nice
Right now team is in the process of polishing the build. We did have to push a few of the things we'd love to include on launch, like mod support to post-launch update, but we are rather happy with how the game is shaping up to be and looking forward to improving it even more after launch.
Will be a website for the game?
Not something we've planned, but if we do end up with a site in the future, we'll add it to our links here on the platform.
If infected manage to get by into the survivor block, would there be a way to capture them once they turn so they can be studied, or would they have to be eliminated?
At this point you should think of other people’s safety. But there will be ways to study the infected
Will you be adding more dialogue to the NPCs? Gossip by the guards or technicians in the checkpoint, idle chatter from the civilians held in quarantine or in the block, maybe even something quick by our character at the beginning or end of the day when we are alone? New chat lines, as survivors enter, that might help give an indication to their health status would be cool.
Oh. Yeah. Some already added for the survivors (no details), for scientist and soldiers still WIP
Will there be any more indicators?
Not sure what was meant by Indicators in the context of the question. If we talking about symptoms, we can say there’s close to 50 symptoms right now planned for the game (for all the old and new tools).
Do we get difficulty levels for endless mode and storyline campaign like more unforgiving penalty score if you haven't listed all symptoms on one survivor?
Endless mode is planned and somewhat supported at the moment (not main focus however). About difficulties - difficult question, but we’re trying to avoid implementing different difficulties
Will there be a way to cure those who have been infected after doing enough research, but it cost a fortune to buy just one.
There won't be a way, it's a game about survival and trying to save as many others as you can, not about the theoretical cure.
Will there be a way to have a pool of names that the game randomly selects from for survivors? I would like to stream the game and use names from chat or real-life friends, celebrities, characters etc. just their names. Thank you.
While we are planning to both have Twitch integration (at launch) and mod support (post-launch update), the degree to which the integration will be implemented is not something we can share just yet.
Will there be more additions to the convoy protection part of the game? Like would there be missions where you have to rescue a passing convoy or send a team to fix save your convoy if you couldn't protect them, etc
We have plans and ideas to further improve that part of the gameplay loop, including post-launch. We can't share any details on it, though.
Will we be able to control the guards actions, or set tasks for our survivors? i.e supply runs, assigning doctors, cooks etc.?
Not at the release. We will be sharing our plans for the future of the game soon after launch.
Will you add like a transformation from a human to a zombie?
It is impossible for us to show player such a transformation as it would've been more like a timelapse, as the process is not immediate but gradual. That’s why (already in the demo) the transformations are happening when you sleep.
Will this game be on GeForce Now?
No such plans at the moment.
Will the game be playable on the Steamdeck when it’s officially released or will that be further out?
Yes! We are planning to have Steam Deck support on release.
Is there a way to donate bags of cookie dough?
Sure! Our game designer will love it and it gives him more energy to work on the game
We are looking forward to more of your questions!
