Quarantine Zone | Discord Text Q&A #4
[p]Hello, everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We'd like to apologize for the lack of the update on our Q&A last week, we are now back with the update from the last Q&A we are ran on our Discord server. [/p][p]With this post we'd like to offer our Steam community an option to contribute - post the questions in the comments below and we'll make a combined post with both Discord and Steam questions next time.[/p][p][/p][h2]Check out the questions that fellow community members asked previously:[/h2][p][/p][h3]Has AI been used in any way to make the game?[/h3][p]Yes and no. We’ve used AI voices to check how the scene feels and looks, like it was in the original playtest before the demo went live in May. But there will be no AI used in the release version[/p][p][/p][h3]Were 100% of the models in the game handcrafted or were some taken from third-party resources?[/h3][p]Some of the assets were bought from fab.com, but there are a lot of handcrafted items too, like tools in your hands [/p][p][/p][h3]Do you guys have fun working on your game/project? What is the vision for the game in the future?[/h3][p]Could we make a fun game without having fun making it? Yes, there are some problems (obviously), but this project is love and passion for the whole team[/p][p][/p][h3]Do you have future plan for having different Quarantine Zones maps based on environments, such as vast desert or mountainous village overlooking a city burning on the background? If yes, then is it possible for new scenarios and new challenges?[/h3][p]We were thinking of them even before the first demo! Change of scenery sounds fun, but we want it to be connected with what’s happening inside and outside the checkpoint. For winter we want winter clothes, less bites and some frostbite symptoms, so this mechanic wouldn’t be shallow. So there is a decent chance this will appear in the game in later updates[/p][p][/p][h3]I noticed in the demo there seemed to be incongruence between the listed ages of survivors and the appearances of those survivors. In the full game, will certain character models be locked into ages more commensurate with their appearances?[/h3][p]For now - no. We want to approach this problem likewise the weather from question above. If we connect survivor with the documents - we want it to have more substance. Give ‘em professions, make their origin location relevant, make some dependencies of their age and behavior, stuff like that. It’s not a promise that it will be that way, but an example of how we approach mechanics like this[/p][p][/p][h3]Will there be a way in the future to make to so the scanner remains active when you enter the symptoms menu so you can continue to see the hidden symptom? i find it frustrating to have to enter and leave the menu to compare them to the example images.[/h3][p]We've worked on improving the player experience when handling tools, just wait around and you’ll see yourself [/p][p][/p][h3]will there be any discount like an “introduction sale” like some other products[/h3][h3]There is a launch discount being discussed, but we can't say more on it at the moment.
Have you thought of adding a versus mode in Quarantine zone where a player is in control of zombie attacks or is on the other side of the quarantine zone and try to get in either infected or?[/h3][p]It’s impossible to make any real-time coop/versus game. However (!) we’re working on crowd control support as part of our Twitch integration that will add a way for the audience to influence the game creator is playing in a way. [/p][p][/p][h3]Will there be healthy people that actually have dog bites?[/h3][p]Although not actually looking the same as a human bite, the same bite could be used. The "dog bite" is only the bite, but it doesn't glow in the UV light, as it doesn't have zombie saliva. While the zombie bite would be the same bite we know, but it glows in the UV light, since it has zombie saliva in it We joke about it a lot, we just not sure when we will be able to do it. [/p][p][/p][h3]What was the most stressful and/or annoying thing to make.[/h3][p]There’s some mechanics that are not just working as we intended, but we’re not ready to get rid of them. Like bruises and necrosis symptoms, or skin diseases with people of different color. Or you know this little bugs that appear and disappear overtime like they are batman or something [/p][p][/p][h3]Will you be able to check different kind of people? Like Children or disabled people or only men and women?[/h3][p]There will be no screening of children 100%. We haven't considered anything else at the moment, but it is not an easy topic. [/p][p][/p][h3]Is there any way you can die or be infected yourself in real-time? Can a zombie tear down a wall and come at you while you're checking survivors, or can an infected actually kill you?[/h3][p]Yes, we've added some of these. While virus is evolving, there will be more ways to die! But it’s not main focus of the game, so please don’t expect constant life threats everyday.[/p][p]
