Zompiercer News

The main theme of this update is a new location. I tried to make it unique and atmospheric, I hope you enjoy exploring it.
In addition, part of the environment has been replaced by objects with greater detail and realism, all objects in a cartoon style will be gradually replaced, and the transition will be crowned with a redesign of the zombie and the main character. A new system of weather and a change of day and night was also introduced. Now the night will not come unexpectedly quickly, at night the moon will rise at different intervals and illuminate the territory. Of the important changes, we can note the ability to parse some objects in the game, such as blue barrels, heaps of scrap metal and chairs, over time, I will try to expand the list of objects that can be disassembled. I also continue to study the possibilities and subtleties of optimization and in each update I try to improve the existing one and add new features. The first cellars appeared in the game, as long as they are only a couple of buildings, but I will develop this topic further. In this update, not everything that I planned and what the players suggested was implemented, but all this is on the to-do list and will gradually be implemented as the game develops.

Very important! If you were expecting the continuation of the game in 4 location (a big city), you will have to leave the location and return again so that the items in the location are generated and a plot subject appears to go to the next location.

This is not the last stage of optimization, in future updates even more game objects and the forest will be optimized, the quality of optimization of which does not suit me yet.
