THIS PLAYLIST GETS CUT SHORT due to updates not being backwards compatible pre-release. We’ve restarted in a new playlist at VERY HARD with the release version. Same map. I GUESS I JUST LIKE THE PAIN! - Infection Free Zone Very Hard Gameplay - 01 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX2VYX2EnrhqY68

Happy to find a home town boy online!

[@pixelgabe5471]

Love to see it. I wanted to see some game play before buying, but seeing someone from the same area, I had to watch

[@mrsmile5009]

If you want better pathing you press (shift+click) it will go offroad saving you a ton of gas.

[@CharliePryor]

@@mrsmile5009 ALT, not shift. - I know

[@charlieandersson4069]

hello charlie, my name is also charlie, have a fun day

[@farfidnugn69]

Just having the HQ right next to the road is worth the restart lol. Omg it's so satisfying.

[@CharliePryor]

WAAAAYYY BETTER

[@aleksanderpieck4799]

“For some reason almost every icons are oil ones” Hell yeah, this is America baby

[@lsswappedcessna]

A gas station, a gun store, and a bar on every block.

[@williamvanderstel3293]

I legit live maybe 10 min from the starting location, very cool to see GR represented

[@robertlombardo8437]

Amen. Grand Rapids: Where great boomsticks are manufactured. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart!

[@dennisallen5463]

Agree! I am close to GR as well

[@dieseljester3466]

I think that this is cool that it takes RL locations and converts it into the game.

[@gamester512]

I've used both my current home address as well as my previous home address and both locations are good beginner locations as they're fairly rural, and while a city is nearby, it's not nearby enough to factor in to the threat level of that particular region. It's kinda fun to see how well you can survive using your actual home address. Of course, you can also try locations like the Pentagon, White House, Disney Land, Fort Monroe, West Point, etc.

[@kerrypooley406]

Great video, this game has gone from "Wishlist" to "Priority Purchase". Appreciate your work Mr. Pryor.

[@Sometimes_Traveling]

Yeay new episode! This is the first game that really catches me in a long time, can't wait for more and the official release in a few days to play it myself :) Glad to see you are using the queueing function this time around, that was making me nervous 😀

[@brokentruckergaming7315]

DUDE!!!!!! I grew up in the area this play thru is at R.I.P Studio 28

[@jeffersonkohler4162]

I would always leave a squad scavenging until the car is full, and then return to the HQ, as you have enough weapons and people to form 4 more squads and defend the HQ. It is very expensive to travel long distances and return with the car half empty. In fact, I'm loving this series.

[@jdiddy84]

Alright Grand Rapids! I grew up in and my parents still live in Kentwood just to the east of where you started! Right about at M-6 and Kalamazoo. Maybe you can do a raid on their neighborhood in a later episode. Loving the gameplay!

[@rglover82201]

I reccomend walling between buildings to cut down on how many bricks you need. Just wall between buildings you don't convert. You've got plenty of buildings to wall between. They won't tear down abandoned buildings. They make a good barricade. Then you can pop a tower behind each wall section. Just a thought. Because you had such a problem with bricks your last play through.

[@son_of_caesar8908]

LETS GO!!!! I'm glad you decided to get going with the second play through! I really enjoyed all the other videos, even with the bugs and frustration.

[@theshizzle9959]

Happy for the restart!!! Glad you are doing more scavenging at the beginning - just makes sense to deplete the area first. Fingers crossed on the new save - looking forward to watching the journey!

[@charlesingram9471]

I really hope they plan to add elevation to the maps, in a way that places we choose will look a bit more recognisable and feel a bit more real than the completely flat maps we have currently.

[@ecks8214]

They do, its in the roadmap

[@codieedwards543]

Keep this going mate loving the game play. Watching from new Zealand 🇳🇿 🤙

[@officialspacelesstv1887]

Let’s gooo! I’m new here and I’m loving this gameplay

Welcome to the madness!

oh, a place Ive bin to as well! Tanx for playing this game .... all over again. Ill be buying it for sure, because of you!

[@dubbelve5957]

So glad that you continued with the game, can't wait to watch all the upcoming episodes! Really excited for this again!

[@CharliePryor]

More to come!

[@SanchoBruh]

Great to see you play the new patch, i wish you keep uploading videos consistently as i get motivated seeing your determination.

[@gratmccall]

Im liking and subscribing to see more of this!

A different channel showed their game based in the Tower of London. Zeds were crossing water in that one but not very well.

[@METALFREAK03]

they can swim but slowly.

First time I’m seeing this game and your channel, love it bro. Keep it coming 😁

[@sheldomaus]

Born and raised in Michigan. KZbin recommended this video. Safe to say you got a new subscriber.

[@NorseOkies]

Yay! You made a new playthrough! Here's to a more smoother ride!

[@seanholland6132]

Holy crap! I put on this video as a passing interest and no more than 2 minutes in and I'm hearing the hometown of my father getting mentioned! Never thought I would hear Mount Pleasant, Michigan being brought up on a KZbin video! Grandma was a professor at CMU, grandfather ran the Isabella County mental health hospital and I went there almost every summer for most of my life before 18!

[@CharliePryor]

CMU is where I met my wife. :)

[@Sinful_Solution]

I'm posting this at the beginning of the video. I'm from Grand Rapids. It was a great city. Past 10 years the homeless has skyrocketed. It's weird hearing you name these areas and streets and I know exactly where you're talking about. You should go to the Van Andel Arena or Devos Center.

[@solorunner98]

"We always assume that you've never seen a previous video of mine" No youtuber ever gave a thought to that! I had to do my own research everytime.

[@CharliePryor]

Every single episode one, I treat as a channel episode one. ;)

[@BaoCypher0912]

omg yes ive been binged watching this series. hypeeeeeeeee🎉

[@jayflo4003]

I’m so glad you’re doing a fresh start. I’m looking forward to seeing the new things you do and learned from the other play through.

[@sullyvanbastien4526]

watching this video while waiting one hour before release, your city seems great and fun to play with !

[@Rustybongs81]

Thanks for the content, I watched a bit before I jumped in. Very helpful

[@JamesKaylor-ss4nd]

Shout out to Grand Rapids!! Watching you from GR. Proud Michigander and Wolverines fan!

[@CharliePryor]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@astrowerm]

This is cool man, I'm from Alpena so Im familiar with all these areas. Fun to see!

[@SilverbladeDagger]

I live in Lansing, so I've been trying various locations around Lansing, including the suburb-urban area I live in. I think it is pretty cool to be able to play with your own house in a game, not to mention locations you are very familiar with, like where you went to school, where you shop for groceries, places you've worked, etc.

[@CharliePryor]

It’s definitely a different experience when you can play a game that takes place in an area you’re familiar with. ;)

[@strokemondeo]

Good to see the new start , and you remembered to get your smaller HQ next to a road too 👍

[@00Meowmeow]

Yay super excited for this! Loved watching the play through of the old version and just as excited for this new one!!

[@CharliePryor]

Yay, thank you!

[@Woollum90]

Looking forward to future updates to this game. It has a lot of potential. Hope they don’t give up on it.

[@jagordon1976]

Looking forward to this one. I'm so glad you can repair cars. Now your HQ won't look like a junkyard! LOL Can't wait to see how you defend the base - this start does not seem to have as clearly defined a border as the last one did. Hopefully a smaller wall will make it more defensible.

[@Nukky_]

Bro I just saw this video on my feed. Never watched a video of yours. My parents live on Byron and 44th, wife familys Byron and 54th, and I live on 44th and division. My best friend works at the bowling center park center lanes and my parents just a leased a building out of the strip right next to the lanes. This is crazy! I love apocalyptic games and I’ve been into dayz, project zomboid but I’ve never heard of this game. I used to play halo wars all the time looks kind of similar.

[@CharliePryor]

I’ve been to that bowling alley. Years ago, but yeah, small world. ;)

[@josiefever]

Yay I’m so happy we get to see more of this!

[@dieseljester3466]

Aaaaaaah! Dang it Charlie! Where do you find all of these awesome games at on Steam? Like a third of my wish list are games you've done playthroughs on! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@ed4373]

Hell YEAH! I'm so happy we're getting more already! Hopefully less bugs this time!

[@jsturty1]

Watching this makes me want to visit Marge's Donut Den. Haven't had a great Paczki like that since I left GR.

[@jakespina3482]

Addicted too your new adventure maybe a part 2/3 in 1 video lol

[@stevdor6146]

we're going to Grand Rapids, MI (this is the city where i was born, though i only lived here

[@CharliePryor]

Wyoming MI is in Kent County, as a suburb of Grand Rapids, basically. Much easier to associate a relative location by the major city than it is the minor area around that city. It’s also confusing when that suburb is named the same as another state. This is why instead of saying “we’re going to Port Washington” where you’d likely have no idea where that is… I’d just say I’ll be in the New York area.

[@justinmobile8112]

Maybe make the first walled area half the size of the last one so the wall is prioritised more.

[@gryphyne]

Only been playing the demo, but I've started using warehouses as bunkers on the corners of my area. Noticed it cuts down on me running out of ammo.

[@fredbergman6623]

So you're going to try to survive halfway between my work and my house... Neat

[@ratty_at]

I mean yeah, you may cannot utilize a big HQ to its full capacity, however, like you pointed out in the lasts series it has still the benefit of higher HP.

[@PlanetCalled_Pluto]

I’m so glad your trying a new secperience😁

[@TheRebelVikingYT]

I'm still playing the prolonged version waiting for the full release this Thursday, and in the eight days, I found 8 assault rifles and 14 pistols by fighting the kidnapper and finding a stockpile. Let's just say the swarm was as easy as pie to deal with on the last night.

[@thekingbee1891]

Dude you just started in my dads neighborhood. I lived there when I went to CC.

[@CharliePryor]

I went to CC for a year too. ;)

[@TheRoyaltyGames]

Would love to see you try to beat the game in London's Houses of Parliment, its one of the largest building complexes I've found so far in the game.

[@CharliePryor]

Just need it to get a bit more mature and stable, then I’ll try other locations.

[@darthvaper1408]

You should do a game in Kentucky and headquarters in Fort Knox

[@jadedshard9650]

mount pleasant? I lived over in Weidman for a time anyhow mount pleasant makes sense you got the bunker/tunnels under the college area but I'm going to go for Adrian once I get this installed

[@reeco24]

I use to live my Calvin college. Studio 28 was the best spot lol

[@Joe-xq3zu]

Oh hey this time you're in my neck of the woods!

[@NathanDM1776]

Lived near BC and 44th. Nice.

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

i hoppe the game devs will do 2 things 1. ensure some good elevation stuff ,both as landscaping tool for the survival aspect of your fortifications since the lay of the land how it affects attackers is a big part of why castles grew up in some places 2. re-work the map algorithm so that yes , chose start area aka START area ,but your not 'imprisoned' in said start area much like factorio be the perfect style you can expand as you wish or just ..move.. area as you wish

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

and ye ofc also have to fix stuff like 'units' should be able to fire at individual other units regardless if seeing the 'command' unit of another grouped force or not and things like obviously buildings should still be functional to the same % they are intact while adjusted or expanded or repaired , and of course still dam exist XD a wall dont turn etherial just because you start lay bricks in the hole it got

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

and dang , ye the current assets , fixed map sizes and no elevation algorithms for landscape realy makes so only dull flat american citys can be rendered half decent , not to mention with the trope of most buildings in urban areas being multiple story height ....towers & walls.. seems like a secondary schematic development compared to just ''lower floor reinforcing & ramparts'' to turn multi store buildings into add-hoc bastions of concentric defenses with ramparts infront of them and fresh wall between them ...rather then around them

[@damagingthebrand7387]

Hey, I grew up in Holly! Hi almost neighbor.

[@uther10]

I’m here for the restart!

[@tylerbeets4016]

For this play through can you try making a barn and cookhouse in the same building?

[@METALFREAK03]

unless they changed it, you can't do half and half in one building. But the best layout I have seen is have a warehouse in the middle with two cookhouses either side of it. And you can continue the same pattern when you need more cookhouses.

[@ekaos5099]

Nice restart, way to go!

That’s crazy my high school was on that corner

[@KeisersozayHTTC]

You Legend Loving this game dropped that SUB ,, was thinking as you said it here you could split your Squad off and deploy men / women individually like the AI did , Also bye part renovating a building it will always be way worse than the HQ so choose a Big HQ to House 200 ppl imo

[@KeisersozayHTTC]

Also I would love to play this Game on a Map Of Glasgow Scotland ... IBROX PARK HOME TO 48K zombies lol

[@MoonLiteNite]

@ 28:18 it was as if it was a full moon or something, and nothing could come out....

[@ricorommeldumaplin4822]

I do wonder if you can adapt a building into two functioning structures, like a one building that is half cookhouse half storage for example

[@CharliePryor]

Not possible in current build

[@ricorommeldumaplin4822]

@@CharliePryor hopefully that would be possible in the future updates, along side being able to build your own structures such as a greenhouse that you mentioned in your last playthrough

[@jesseallen3109]

it kinda makes sense though to not do that. because at this point the build of the game lets you build half a structure when you have low materials but desperately need said structure. just a pain to have to have it unusable when you fully implement it. >.> surprisingly (or not) no one actually uses it for that and just clears buildings, metal scraps and trees at the same time in their desperate bid to make it quickly.

[@-scorpion-3485]

'h' button on the keyboard zooms/focus on the HQ, if that helps, i also hope they bring the star HQ button back.

[@CharliePryor]

HOME on keyboard does the same thing too, but I guess H is easier to get to

[@-scorpion-3485]

oh wait apologies, now im unsure, someone mentioned the 'h' button in the past, possibly they meant the 'home' button.

[@gamester512]

It's worth noting that if you want to, say, use your actual house (or where you used to live) as your HQ, you can literally put in the address (Street, House Number, etc.) and the game will literally take you right there and have that location selected as your HQ....though it's possible that it may deem that address as too small for your HQ (this was the case for my old home address in Rotterdam NY, my old home address was deemed "too small", but my neighbor's houses were fine....which I'll admit was a bit annoying, but whatever). This makes it very easy to find a specific location that you have in mind to use as your base, provided you know the address for that location.

[@CharliePryor]

I’m aware. Given the public nature of, well, me, I choose not to use precise locations. :)

[@gamester512]

@@CharliePryor Oh, I understand. That was more for people who are just starting and aren't sure if they can zero in on a specific location like that. :)

[@METALFREAK03]

I would use the buildings for walls (as well as proper walls). Less materials on your walls and less upkeep.

[@saptor7641]

Wohoo a new city

[@Level_Up_Nation]

seems interesting

[@Comicsluvr]

I'm going to wait for the bugs to be fixed before I invest in this one. Like Charlie, I would be SUPER frustrated if I couldn't target something.

[@jesseallen3109]

there is a more game breaking bug still in there since prior update, which is that save and quiting then restarting from save can essentially break the game as it can't load the save. dunno if it's because of clearing too many buildings and other things but it's ruined several people's play throughs. The reason i say it may be due to the clearing too many buildings and what not is because usually it would first start with small oddities of respawning plants or buildings that were not there from the first play load (which has also caused the game to be unplayable because one person did a start in a castle and the new building essentially blocked everyone from getting out of the HQ and their people died trying to clear that new building because of how big and convoluted it was).

[@Fjleon7]

LETS GO NEW BEGINING XD

[@saisonblue]

can you use the long buildings as a wall? or integrate them in the wall, even have infexted hide in them so during the day you go clearing them.

[@pikaland3852]

Oh right, There IS a grand rapids in Michigan. (I actually forgot.)

[@MDamm-lz9gw]

can you use the buldings as walls and let your own wall go between them?

[@strategygamemike]

I missed the last two of the first playthrough, but I feel like the bug out with the weather and the bugout with the meat not getting cooked kind of messed things up out of your control

[@andreboard7245]

You should have put the tower further away from the research building…if it falls…the infected will be right next to building.
