Looks like a lot of potential, just needs some good polish and UI cleaning.

[@TDurden527]

Ya .. . . I use arrows for the w,a,s,d for direction control. So definitely need assignable actions to keyboard. But looks like it could really be fun.

A zombie Apocalypse has broken out and guns are more valuable than anything now. So you sell some crumpled paper, some lumber, a cockroach and empty shells to buy a desert eagle.

[@Ret4rdedN0blemen]

Since Project Zomboid NPC Build 42 update will be released in 30th December 2077, im gonna give this game a chance

[@mediumsurmoon6283]

early 2025, i bet

[@colddeadwitch]

Indie says this year. September at best I'd say.

[@CozyBolster]

@@colddeadwitch even if it's release this year, we still didn't have a real npc. Only animal.

[@colddeadwitch]

@@CozyBolster he was just making a joke. NPC is probably the last thing on their plate. We need some sort of endgame, especially for SP. Amassing a base with tons of loot gets stale after doing it over and over.

[@Reaper1722]

You’re being generous. I heard they’re looking into cryogenically freezing their devs, so we’re looking at a 3043 release.

no it doesn't. Their narrating style could use a makeover....

I like the Umbrella reference.

Yeah I seen that too

[@robdead4550]

Good to see you trying out these new games, you have a great Devil-may-Care type style that shows off these types of games well. Thanks Tem.

[@JohnDoe-vf7if]

Immediately subscribed because of the narrating and editing style, amazing background videos for my open world gaming

NO WAY IT HAS THE SAME HOUSE ALARM AS PZ

[@jsomeone9226]

I really like when you do these story episodes. Like when you did Rimworld that one time!

[@GamingAfter50]

Thanks for the look at this game! 😃

[@justsomerandomdude3834]

This game hides Spyware in its "anticheat" even if you delete the game it won't get removed, you have to remove it specifically. (I don't know what it is)

[@coltwilliams22]

If it has Spyware or malware don't think he would've posted a video of him playing on his channel and saying he has it on his wishlist? Maybe I'm wrong tho it looks good from his gameplay of it just needs some polishing

[@Reaper1722]

Honestly, this is the art style i want Project Zomboid to have. It’s gritty, but it still has this cartoony look.

[@josuanestrada737]

Facts

[@Mike0193Azul]

Looks awesome! the prison break adventure was so interesting. Reminds me of the stories you could live out in State of Decay 2. Wish the ai was better and your allies would take cover or you could control them better

[@Raida7]

Thanks to m for the video, I was looking at this game a couple of days ago. Definitely need to wait for it to get a bit better before I play, the NPCs attacking the player during the horde attack is enough to make me rage quit 😅

[@gimj_wrg1099]

Lmao"that guy has a gun lets wait for him to die" that caught me off guard 😂😂

[@NivlaTenryuu]

this looks good, it like it has a story, while project zomboid sadly don't have just a sandbox

[@drhenceforth]

I'm curious as hell about this one. Were there any bugs or mechanics that makes you say not yet or is it just a general lack of polish?

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Mostly just the fact that there were multiple raids that just said "failed" and booted me automatically back to my last save point. There was no indication as to what happened or what my objective was. They need to clean up the UI a little bit and add some QoL features like shift+click to transfer items to storage. A city map would be nice to help navigate. The other survivors pushing me around during battles was really annoying. But overall I think the framework is there for a solid game.

[@drhenceforth]

@@GunsNerdsandSteel it looks right up my alley, I'm gonna keep an eye on it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

[@Anitube]

The UI looks like a flash game (and has window error sounds for some things), and could use some polish. The demo for it is available right now if you want to try. The writing is pretty generic, and there's an unnecessary 'girlfriend' you can get which comes with sexual encounters even in the demo which confused me and was kind of cringe, a lot of the audio noises are very poorly balanced (Helicopters fly over head and it peaks and is loud as hell, some areas repeat the same audio loop as soon as it's out of range and back in range), and NPCs that are suppose to be your allies turn against you -really- easily. Having said all that, the -gameplay- of it looks like it has potential. Definitely worth a try, the demo is pretty big.

[@drhenceforth]

Sexual encounters in a game like this sounds cringe as hell. I'll give the demo a try this weekend and see if it's worth waiting for.

[@petthequeenofmaddness8592]

@@drhenceforth could just be dialog, like cat calling but you get the option of killing them or having them die to zombies as "bait" or later seeing them get beat by the cops or something or maybe if you get a girlfriend you can make a kid army

[@christianpuga9424]

Reminds me more of They Are Billions than 7dtd but regardless, definitely gonna look out for this one in the foreseeable future.

[@TeamCGS2005]

PZ and 7DTD. My two favourite survival-craft games.

[@stalkingtoastranger]

You should make a series on Project Zomboid.

[@adamsilvestru3219]

Project zomboid meet's The Last Stand Union City

[@visicircle]

It's like a mix of Stardew Valley, The Sims, Fortnite, and resident evil.

[@keyogen]

So, project zomboid mix with there are billions.

[@xXPBSXx1]

What im curious is if its open world or does it end to be a tower defence game?

[@sebastianbolo2480]

Sounds like project zomboid but fun and whit stuff to do... and i like project zomboid dont get me wrong. Hope they do well on release.

[@N0P3Sugar]

That Resident Evil umbrella reference!

[@FullchanAnon]

> * WHOLE screen gets blurry and starts shaking * >"And I'm dead! Geeze didn't even see what happened there." M8, I think you needs some new specs 🤓

[@Great_Lakes_Discus]

The lighting looks real similar to… terraria? Is that the vibe I’m getting? That and PZ

[@angelofdarkness1435]

Definitely has potential to be a fun game to experience especially that I love apocalypse type and zombie games in general

[@killbotprime]

Deep inside Temreki, a frustrated screenwriter and a frustrated film director are screaming to get out, LOL

[@bobinator17]

Its an early demo, so I'm forgiving at this stage... It gripped me, but after multiple crashes I put the demo down for the time being. Hoping for a really fun game once its had some more work :)

[@SiriusV23]

After watching this video, I change my diet to cockroach instead of drinking daily protein powders.

[@noonyabeezniss4911]

Cheaper too! Just watch out which cockroaches you eat, I didn't realise they could spit or hiss before I started

[@moragslothe6449]

6x the protein!

[@dean2521]

Needs a part 2. You can actually mount a machinegun

[@xgabu3812]

Who dies like that? getting distracteed by the bar while ur whole screen was telling you about ur death

[@SiriusV23]

Game is looks great in the beginning, but then it becomes a tower defense trap building base like any other games. But playing in a zomboid 3rd person mode is a nice change.

[@damnzambies]

I can feel another game obsession instigated by GNS coming on ... 🧟‍♂️🤩👍

[@Handleyocandleghee]

now that is a zombie defence game

[@GunnerSentinel]

Finally a zombie game with other survivors 😂 wish we could get a game exactly like this but in first person, I don’t have hope 7 days devs could reach this level of content

[@noonyabeezniss4911]

Well considering the 7 days devs are going from buggy messy ALPHA to full 1.0 launch should tell everyone how incompetent, stupid and greedy they are Not to mention g he disgusting console debacle, making them poor spoils buy it again as the devs were greedy and sold the rights now the consequences only fall on the player for the devs awful decisions I hope it fails at this point due to their seed hubris and ignorance, they deserve nothing less than bankruptcy

[@donnikubbitz2146]

OK I just want zomboid to look like this.

[@DaisyDesigner18]

its great game BUT NEEDS MORE WORK.. hope ZOMBOID will make a PART 2

[@nathanburgett1599]

I was playing the demo. It needs work but it's really good.

[@katastrofa025]

I mean, for game that "project zomboid meets 7dtd" it doesn't have much. Is it a pre-alpha demo ? If it would have like 20 times more content, open world, story, building system (whole building, not just walls and traps), then, yeah, maybe, maybe, would be nice to play

[@MrOnepiece14]

I really like it but it is extremely difficult to play for me. I had a hard time with the combat most of all, the hitboxes and aiming are impossible for me. I'm just not used to the Zomboid style movement and combat. It sucks because I love the premise so far. It's also hard to run with a few performance issues after it runs too long. My GTX1650 had a tough time.

[@Sporfo]

i hope we get a massive map size

[@bladeshifter]

Since both games have multiplayer coop, I'm gonna watch this one and see if it improves in adding such things 🤔

[@huevote9474]

Be careful with this game, I have seen people say it is a bitcoinminer or RAT. All post about these topics are deleted on the steam forums by the developer. I don't know if these are exactly true but be careful everyone.

Games like this should allow the player to force NPCs to wherever they want them. I hate when I have a wall of guns set up and the NPCs are on the OTHER SIDE. I don't want to kill them

its funny that the title said 7 days and the video was upload 7 days ago, and the game look much more simple and fun then project zomboid( i not saying i dont like it its that i perfer bit more simple games but i do sometimes play bit complex games )
