7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

I don’t think having aesthetically mismatched armor pieces would bother me personally. But to each their own.

I think people are imagining the set bonuses are going to be amazing, like +50% run speed or double cash from quests. I’m expecting more modest bonuses, that aren’t so good you feel you have to wear the set. I also wonder how the progression is timed out: how far into a playthrough we’ll get before acquiring a full set of armor in the first place.

Since the next alpha will feature all new player characters, it’s meant a lot of work on player animation too. I don’t know what proportion overall will be redone, but TFP have put out some videos showing players in motion with the new armor sets.

All the character stuff will be brand new art. All new player bodies, wearing all new armor. So from a development standpoint, there is no keeping this or that asset from A21. Anything ‘kept’ would in practice be recreated for the new system.

Making all these new characters and armor sets (modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, hooking up in game, adding to crafting & looting & so on) keeps people busy! So I’m not expecting the same people had time to also make a library of additional fashion assets, that they’re still hiding up their sleeve.

What’s going to elevate the game is the comprehensive package of new player characters and armors, replacing the assets that have served as placeholders for so long. It’ll be another big step towards having a finished game.

Originally posted by NHL12: depends on the situation and location but ive noticed sometimes doing a poi (generating heat) it attracts zombos that spawned outside the poi, and or including the scouting witch

The screamer is the only zombie used as a scout to investigate high heat/activity. So unless she screams, none of the other zombies are coming due to the heat/activity map.

but i dislike the artificial sense of a safety net where doing a POI isolates you from the world's threat

Meanwhile you have those that seem to think there are already too many zombies in POIs. Players that feel that way probably aren’t keen on having even more come in from outside on top o... Read more

Some things about zombie A.I. I’ve picked up from following the A.I. programmer and other devs for a while:

1. People didn’t like being harassed by zombies from outside while trying to complete a quest. In the most extreme example, you can imagine if a quest sent you to the wasteland, you didn’t finish before nightfall, and you didn’t happen to opt for a stealthy character build. You could be stuck drawing in nonstop zombies as fast as you can kill them, sapping your resources and interrupting you from making progress on the quest. So outside zombie spawns are suppressed while a quest is active.
   Since you can’t leave without failing the quest (and BM zombies are their own thing), the exploitability seems limited. Keep in mind suppressing zombie spawns isn’t the same as killing the zombies already around at the start.
   Is it a flaw? Debatable. But it’s an intentional feature in any case.
   
2. They’ve discussed wandering sleeper zombies, which would be on...

After much anticipation, I’m happy to kick off the Version 1.0 Developer Diary (formerly known as Alpha 22). Here you'll find a compilation of confirmed features and content for Version 1.0. Fun Pimp devs may occasionally post updates here[community.7daystodie.com] on what they're working on, answer questions, and give us sneak peeks into the future of 7 Days to Die.

Like in previous diaries, we want this thread to stay focused on discussing the following features and content, and other things TFP devs want to discuss. We’ll make an effort to only list confirmed features and content, not rumored or merely contemplated features that haven’t seen proof of develo... Read more

This usually occurs if you create a map with the same seed after you have already started a game with that map.
It can also happen if you did not clean the data from a previous Alpha version, and then made a new map using the same seed as you had used previously.

Yeah kinda... there is (should be) more than one way to play nearly any game in existence, and I can't imagine this one to be any different. Just because the games is "set up" as a base builder, base defense game, that doesn't mean you can't play as a wandering scavenger; ...
