Renovation & New Characters | Development Update #1
Hi dear Gravediggers!
I’m charlermaster from the development team of Zombie Graveyard Simulator.
First of all – a massive thank you to over 20,000 people who have played the game so far!
As we inch closer to release, we’ve been fixing bugs, yes! but also adding a ton of new features and improvements which you can try some of them in the updated Prologue and Demo versions right now!
Today’s update highlights two of the most requested changes from the community, and we’re super excited to share them with you!
[h3]🔨 Renovation System – Build Your Graveyard, Your Way[/h3]
In the earlier versions of the game, your graveyard was basically handed to you on a silver platter. Clean, tidy, and ready to go. While convenient, it didn’t quite feel like you were turning a forgotten land into something meaningful.
That’s why we’ve introduced the Renovation System!
Now, each major area starts off abandoned and broken down. You’ll need to clean, repair, and restore it yourself before you can use it. For example, the Chapel used to be instantly available but now, you’ll find it in ruins at first. Only after fixing it up will you unlock access and begin using its features.
Once renovated, these stations actually matter!
Take the Chapel’s donation box for example. Visitors now donate based on your graveyard’s decoration and cleanliness levels. The better you maintain your graveyard, the more generous your visitors will be. It’s no longer just free money but it’s earned through your work.
It isn’t just limited to the Chapel but other areas like the Crematorium follow the same principle. You’ll also notice new visitor behaviors and actions unique to these spaces.
[h3]🧍♀️ New Character Models – No More Clones![/h3]
Let’s be honest, we all noticed it. The old character models looked like they were from the same extended family… or military squad 😄. Same face, same clothes, and no variation.
Well, they’ve officially been evicted!
We’ve introduced a whole new set of character models, with both male and female designs, a variety of faces, hairstyles, clothing, and colors. The graveyard now feels more alive and diverse, just like it should.
This change will also affect how employees look, though we’ll share more about them in a future update. For now, here’s a sneak peek of our new gardener and gravekeeper hard at work!
There’s a lot more coming soon, but we’ll leave the rest for future updates.
Until then, we hope you enjoy these changes and the new faces around your graveyard!
Like we mentioned earlier, we've also updated both the Prologue and Demo versions of the game, so you can try out many of these new features yourself and give your feedback!
