7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Originally posted by Boblogg: And yet, here we are, the subsequent Monday, and still neither an official date. If I had wanted an agressive and cold-blooded gaming market and econimic analysis of the situation I would've asked for it.

What happened on March 31st was a Developer stream; Not the Streamer Weekend. Two different things. March 31st was the developers themselves doing a stream to showcase some of the new stuff. The date for the Streamer Weekend Event hasn't even been announced yet. Public access to the experimental is the monday following that event.

And re your other post,

Do you feel the same way about the fact that there have been people who have and continue to have access to A22/1.0, and have had that access for months now? By which I'm referring to volunteer and hired testers.

Do you feel the same way about the fact that trusted close friends and family of the "The Fun Pimps" staff have surely had access to it for as long as the testers?


Would you feel the same if it was a Paid promotion of theirs, where they sent keys to a bunch of random journalists and had Paid them to post 72 hours of mixed review/gameplay footage on Friday?


It's not discrimination. Anyone was (and iirc still is) welcome to apply for streamer weekend access as a streamer. The requirements of that application are fairly applied to all applicants. ANY qualifying individual, regardless of who they are, how narrowly they pass the requirements, gender, race, age, disability status, etc, Are accepted. Just like any job; You meet the ... Read more

There is already a thread for this discussion. No need for a second.

Originally posted by simon: OP doesn't seem to understand the term early. The streamers are getting the game early. The date we get to play it is the same irrelevant of when the streamers get to play it. Again the streamers are getting it early as in before the release date.

I think that is the OP's main argument. They want it early too.
Too bad.

Please keep the discussion for water to the appropriate thread.

Ziplines were a running joke and never promised. After years of jokes about ziplines they did some preliminary work on maybe putting ziplines in but decided against it. Bandits are a different story. The outfits and the animations they did for 1.0 are all part of work on bandits. The way in which the AI pathing was overhauled was done with bandits in mind. Most if not all bandit models are done. Some work on bandit AI tasking has been done. Several POIs created for A21 and now for 1.0 have "bandit hooks" associated with them meaning they will be ready to go as bandit lairs once bandits are in.

It's easy to just say "bandits" and think that it just means putting a new entity in the game like a new zombie. But there have been a lot of steps taken with bandits in mind. Bandits haven't been put on hold-- they have been worked on constantly and we will see many of the bandit related work in 1.0.

The developers love to share things about their game and are always excited to do these streams but they are by no means professional actors or media personalities. If you can't get past the amateur level of stream hosting and presenting, dislike the horsing around and having fun, and simply want the info without technical difficulties then I suggest watching a recap video done by a professional streamer. Guns, Nerds, and Steel have an excellent video up already that streamlines the information very well and also points out some easter egg details not intentionally shown by the developers. ...

"Chest" and "Pants" are no longer categories. Both are replaced by a single "Outfit" category. So in effect, no one will be running around bottomless without also running around topless (excepting the underwear the base model still wears).

It's natural to look at 1.0 through A21 eyes, but players will adjust as they always have. For instance, no one talks about "Wellness" anymore, because that's no longer a stat in the game's design. I think combining clothing and armor into one system in the first place will be the bigger adjustment, more than changing from 5 armor slots to 4.

I wouldn't attribute this change to a "dumbing down". It was not intellectually difficult or deep gameplay for players to manage a shirt slot separate from a pants slot. The biggest reason I've discerned for combining some slots was to eliminate a lot of clipping headaches, where one article of clothing stuck through another. Or even if they wouldn't clip, the clothing had to be unnatural... Read more

Strange.... like every past update...

Dirt is diamond shaped to assist in terrain smoothing, blocks are cubes. Not likely to change, but who knows... Maybe someday they will code it so it lines up to blocks using code similar to what they use in with POIs.
Until then, there are ways to work around it.
