Patch & Price Change! Crafting & More!

Hello everyone, I actually can't believe I was able to post this update. Last night when the patch was ready to be posted, my main HDD died thus I thought the files of the game were gone. I was able to recover the files, and game files and with that I give you this!

Main Changes

- Time of day speed 5x faster.
- Start with pistol, ammo, and food.
- Chests now only contain food, beds, ammo with the only firearm being a pistol. **More on this later**
- There is a new crawler zombie, slow but more shots are required!
- New hell hound, Fast, and hard to kill.
- AI FOV lowered.
- Crafting??
- Removal of most firearms on the map, only one m4 and shotgun can be found.
- Camp fires now give more light.
- Armor (Testing) reduces damage taken from firearms.
- Performance changes.
- Main menu camera replacement

Crafting

No longer will you search endlessly for those pesky bullets!

If you hover over the item you desire to craft, it will tell you what is required.
For example, the shotgun and m4 will require Iron bars. You must first craft iron bars, then the weapon. Why? Doing this adds more depth to the game, and hopefully will extend life time.

FAQ - Can i still find weapons without crafting? Yes pistols, and one m4 and shotgun.

I cannot find a pickaxe laying around, what do I do! You can find them in the chests located around the map.

It is dark! You can access a flashlight completely free in the crafting menu!

The Crawler

Takes only 3 shots to kill, while not that strong they are sneaky!

The hound

These are fast, and tough creatures. No one knows where it came from, but it will empty your pockets of ammo!

Price change

Why are you raising the price, and by how much?

I would firstly like to thank everyone who have joined the community, with the 0.99 price tag I had hoped to grow the community and it did! So welcome!

I am raising the price by 0.99 = 1.99 by the end of the month. Why?
I work a full time job, and with the extra income I could effectively triple the patch count by taking time off of work.

For example, this patch took me exactly 12.30 Hours. Obviously recovering the data took up some time which is included. I did most of the patch in my one day off. So if i took one, or two more days off a week or even month I could increase the productivity of patches.

I am still considering this move, however for transparency I have decided to share the idea. I welcome your opinion.

There have been a lot of questions about the save system, so i will be making a YouTube video covering the topic shortly.

Thank you all for your continued support, I read all of the reviews and am truly grateful.
