Today’s update includes our new character design and the redesign of the world map. We’ve also introduced an Auction House and implemented some bug fixes.
New character design
In this update, the character creation process has undergone a significant revamp, ensuring that players starting a new account now experience a smoother introduction to the game. Additionally, the appearance of our in-game characters has changed substantially, becoming more realistic and detailed. Furthermore, the handling of weapons and tools was adjusted and the character now has a tool belt, facilitating the convenient storage of a variety of tools.
Please note: The character redesign is still a work in progress. Some weapons, outfits, and items will appear as visual placeholders in turquoise, including turquoise question marks in the inventory for items that are not yet implemented. Also, due to technical changes crucial for future updates, it is possible that some items may have disappeared from your inventory. All zombies currently retain their old appearances but will be replaced by new designs in upcoming updates. If you encounter any animation issues with the new character design, please report them to us through our Discord channel.
Redesign of the world map
Another significant change is the redesign of our world map, resulting in a substantially larger and more detailed game world. We’ve introduced new cities, including Deadend, which are now open for exploration.
Furthermore, we’ve introduced Strongholds. These Strongholds will contain NPCs and, depending on their size, could include shops and other valuable features. The current Strongholds are Junction, Deadend, Timberhaven, and Arkberth.
Junction itself has undergone a transformation, with more buildings and a dedicated gathering place for players. We’ve also adjusted the strength of the guards within Junction, reducing their effectiveness when stationed at the outskirts. Moreover, city districts have been established all around Junction, each represented by a consistent visual theme.
Please note: Despite the addition of new cities and Strongholds to the world map, they currently do not offer playable content except for Junction. We will be introducing new content to all cities and Strongholds in the coming months.
Further Changes
The newly implemented Auction House allows you to list your items for sale or purchase items from other players. It has various search and filter options, to help you to find exactly what you need.
Additionally, most of the previous quests have been replaced with an entirely new set of quests. While the current selection of quests is limited, and quest rewards are not available at this time, we are committed to regularly adding new quests and their corresponding rewards in future updates.
We’ve also added various new voice overs and fixed several bugs that were reported via Discord.
We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and invaluable feedback!
