Zombie redesign.

Ardent greetings, train drivers! Today, at the end of the day, we have completed the work on the redesign of the zombies that exist in the game. During the redesign, I tried to preserve the image of the zombies we know as much as possible. Also, one of the zombies was divided into two types of zombies with their own special skills.
From this moment we will start developing new 2-3 zombies as well as a zombie boss for the territory of the store in the city location. Once these zombies are ready, I will be ready to start replacing old zombies with new versions including new zombies and boss zombies.













Update 8.1 alpha

[h2]CHANGE LOG[/h2]

Corrected mistakes

  • Water returned to the lower level in the location with the tunnel.
  • Fixed the name of the door with a large window.
  • Fixed a bug in which, if the character had great physical strength, the arrow flew through the zombies.
  • Now burning iron barrels are detected as iron objects.
  • Fixed a bug where the zombie nurse got stuck in a dead end in the tunnels.



Update 8.0 alpha



This update focuses on the modular system for the construction of residential wagons. Starting with this version, empty carriages will be attached to the train on which the player can erect modular walls of a residential train. The platforms have been slightly increased in length and the walls can be built in two floors, which has increased the useful area of ​​the train, about 5 times compared to the previous version of the game. At the moment there is no way to improve the walls, both outside and inside. This will be implemented in the next update. The binding of light sources to switches is also simplified, all light sources in a carriage will be automatically linked to any switch in this carriage. In the next update, it will be possible to bind each light source individually to the desired switch. Now in the game you can collect rainwater so that you can later use it to quench your thirst or prepare food, and in the future, to water plants. To do this, it is necessary to install a special roof for collecting water and place a tank for collecting water under it. A lot of new furniture has appeared in the game, but so far it has a decorative function, but in the future it will increase the comfort of the room, which the player will need. The approach to filling the train with cans was changed, now the canister does not turn into scrap metal, but becomes empty, after which it can be filled at gas stations and the weight of each canister is increased to 10 liters.

To start building, you need to call the planning menu by pressing the B key in the English layout or change it in the control menu. It is important to take into account that in the planning menu you cannot build settable walls or attack the enemy, for this you need to exit the planning menu by pressing the right mouse button. The activation of the planning menu is indicated by a red triangular symbol on the right side of the screen.

Added sand as a new resource. The sand will be needed to create the glass, which will be needed to create the glazing on the train and also for some workbenches. Sand can be mined with a shovel on sandy shores.

Update 8.0 test



Hey guys! I finally finished and posted the update test. The update may contain many bugs, including critical ones, so play at your own risk and make a backup of your last save. At the moment, the construction system is not fully completed. While it is impossible to improve the elements of the interior of the walls, as well as to improve the outer part of the walls to metal. The electrification system operates in a primitive mode, and a switch in a carriage will turn on and off all light sources in that carriage. This is a temporary solution, and in the future it will be possible to tie it to the switches individually, creating separate groups of luminaires. Also, while the attenuation system for the sound of nature does not work when all walls and ceilings are erected, this will be implemented in the next updates. I managed to save the work of the save files, but partially, if your save gives an error, unfortunately you will have to start the game from the beginning, I apologize.

The test can be accessed as follows:
