Zompiercer News

Hey, machinists! Work on the update is nearing completion and I decided to share the work done. The last news was dedicated to the characters, and this news will affect the environment.

This time, all events will take place in the steppe zone. I studied the existing cities in this zone to try to recreate the atmosphere as close to the real one as possible.



I also decided to create completely new buildings for this zone, from public buildings to private residential buildings. I have long been dissatisfied with the overly simplified buildings in the game and decided to start changing the approach to their creation. In the future, at least, residential buildings will be finalized to varying degrees in all old locations.



A trifle, but it has long been suggested to create a letter base for creating signs for the name of a building, for example, to indicate a police station or other buildings. Finally, this was implemented in the upcoming update.



[h3]BEWARE OF SPOILERS! Below will be presented multiple screenshots of the future location. If you want to keep the look of the survivor base and its surroundings a secret, you should stop here.[/h3]

Hey, drivers! A few months ago, a player Arling wrote to me with a proposal to model a new improved train and create modifications for it. In the process of discussing the redesign of the train and its improvements, I realized that Arling has an incredible imagination for unusual technical solutions for various equipment. Some technical changes were made to the old locomotive, the interior was completely redesigned, as well as improvements and full armoring of the hull. You can see the result of our work below.

We plan to extend our cooperation. In the plans, at least a redesign of the car platform and all game workbenches, and then we'll see.
The probable time of implementation of this locomotive is the 18th version of the game.

I am also glad to announce that today the soundtrack for the game was released. If you liked the music from the recent update and want to support the development, this is a good way to do it.
