Into the Dead Has a Fresh Take on Zombie Survival And I'm Hooked!

[@Mad_Oph]

Love the idea of This War of Mine with zombies, but we need to move away from super-fragile weapons. The fact that no melee weapon lasts for more than like two zombies is kinda absurd. I'll keep an eye on it for sure.

[@tehevilengineer7939]

Its that or everything takes forever to kill. If they wanted you going loud ever encounter, the theme wouldn't be slow scavenging survival.

[@MarkDeSade100]

@@tehevilengineer7939 They can do that without weapon durability. Just make it so stealth attacks are an instant kill, while fighting zombies normally requires hitting them a lot. This encourages players to favor stealth whether weapons can break or not.

@@tehevilengineer7939 I appreciate that it's a balancing dilemma, but the options aren't binary.

[@legomojo]

This is really cool! The weapon durability, a mechanic that I don’t love, doesn’t seem to align with the realism of the game. Weapons should take many days/weeks to fall apart, and leave you with parts you can fix. I’m an unskilled doofus, and I have used an axe until it broke (took almost a decade of near constant use) and I was able to repair it. These are TEXANS! They can pull that off too.

[@MangaGamified]

Never been a fan of durability either, it just ruins my immersion to the story. We also have many old tools, but not too antiquated as if it's cursed, to be thrown out. Old tools are a gem, nowadays everything seems to be engineered to be Planned Obsolescence.

[@robinvlad141]

​@@MangaGamifiedFor me Durability mechanics is fine as long it's balance and you have the ability to repair it. 😅

[@captainmycaptain8334]

durability is fine, they need repair mechanics, or to just make the tool less effective if it breaks rather than unusable if it breaks. I had this convo over project zomboid the other day. even if bent/warped/ broken, MOST tools/weapons can still be used to some extent. games need better solutions for balancing the gameplay than just being like "hey, your tools gonna break after 3 hits and youll need a new one"

[@MangaGamified]

@@captainmycaptain8334 And even if an "Axe" is broken, steel, iron, etc heads can still be used like what cain did to abel. Now that I think about it, it bothers me they just leave the axe head behind. Even a broken sledgehammer you can still use the head like cain did to abel.

[@thrrax]

Weapons break too easily. I mean, even for a game mechanic, it's ridiculously bad. Axes and hatchets for example are designed to cut through much harder stuff than bone and meat, so having them break after killing two zombies is stupid.

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

Axes will break, of course, but you have to miss the point of aim, and hit something hard with the handle repeatedly, for it to happen.

[@commode7x]

Yeah, a real axe, even one made of cheap scrap and trash would last longer than this. If you end up making an "axe" that can't chop down a pine log or a zombie's skull, it's not an axe. It's not even a club, it's still a pile of useless garbage. Just wear it on your shoulder as a +1 scrap armor for your shoulder, because it's not useful for any actual uses.

[@formdusktilldeath]

Even as a mechanic it's not fun if it's only 5-6 uses. If you gotta include durability make it like a couple hundred.

[@MangaGamified]

I have an axe that's with me for 12~11 years now, I just bought it on a whim. Done a few jobs but I'm surprised they did not engineer this axe with "Planned obsolescence". 2017 seems the magic year that almost everything was made to Planned obsolescence now. Also, the durability in this game is insane, might as well put a rock in a shirt or pants, or rope and use it like a flail, but have unlimited ammo with little crafting. Our tools / being able to use tools was suppose to be what sets us apart from other species, in war it's battle of tools, even in religion the baleric sling was mentioned.

[@button9]

Durability is not a fun mechanic in general, I don't know game dev obsession with it. Sure, make it get dull or slower or whatever, but general durability isn't a fun mechanic. I'm all for challenging mechanics but durability just feels lazy or unnecessary just for the sake of having it

[@Furytear]

Some thoughts for the developers if they read any of your chat: Love the concept of scavenging, fortifying the base and resource/survivor management. A couple of things would make this game better in my opinion such as optimizing the weapon durability(having durability is fine as long as it's realistic, for example a pair of scissors realistically would break after a couple of uses as a weapon whereas a cast iron skillet of a hatchet would last many uses) and craftable lockpicks should probably have durability instead of being single use. Also noises should have a radius depending on how loud the noise is and any zombies in that radius should converge on the location where the sound eminated. This would allow the player to make noises to distract or draw in zombies like Splat tried to do on the stairway. I Like the concept and hope that once you get further along in the development that the optimization is good. Gonna put this on my wishlist and keep an eye on how it develops.

[@ravezon]

and instead of just making it unusable, make it less damage than before like for sharp weapons, guns get jams when using it for too long and too fast, blunt weapons like bats or metal pipes have 2 or 3 stages of breaking points before making it unusable especially those that players found while scavenging compared to homemade items.

[@Puschit1]

"Love the concept of scavenging, fortifying the base and resource/survivor management." That's like every second game these days.

[@discordinmymind6565]

[@gaetanhillion8342]

Yep, but it's logical ^^.

[@BlueMercury84]

Yeah, but if you look at the stats, the frying pan's noise level was 1 and the axe was 2. Yet, killing a zombie with the axe didn't alert the others. I know that this is a video game, but these kinds of inconsistencies kind of bugs me.

It could be a World War Z zombie issue: those zombies weren't the slowest; but the big problem was that, without blood loss, shock, pain, fear, or any vital organs aside from the brain, a lot of assumptions about the stopping power of various antipersonnel weapons just didn't hold against zombies. They could take rounds to center mass all day because neither heart nor lungs nor spine were particularly important, compromising major blood vessels was totally unhelpful rather than being emergency haemostasis or quick death; and even shattering major bones in the legs just made them crawl at you instead.

[@clarkmichaels822]

I'd rather have a zombie crawl at me than run or walk, to be honest. Also, it's kinda futile to consider the effect of bullets on a zombie because the entire concept of zombies is anathema to everything we know about physics, life, biology, energy, etc. The fact they're moving at all might mean that blasting them into atoms wouldn't kill them (a la Night of the Living Dead).

This looks so freaking good! Thanks for the recommendation splat!

I wake up the entire building with my bonging, but it's from the coughing.

[@MrNorker77]

The character art for the survivors looks uncanny. Something just looks off to me. Not saying it looks bad, but... yeah can't even explain what it is that makes my skin crawl. Seems though as if it doesn't play a (large) part in the game.

[@osiris4457]

I'm pretty sure that might be deliberate, considering the hyperrealistic angle they seem to fish for with all the game's art.

[@odinulveson9101]

Promising! Oh.. I remember a couple great zombie survivor flash games years ago. I just cThe Last Stand, not the other🤔 They were 2D games. TLS had like three in the series. You stood behind a barricade shooting zombos, when day came you could spend points to search for survivors, supplies etc

This was originally a mobile game, it was a blast on mobile with the original.

[@fightingfaerie]

Makes sense. It does feel like like a mobile game with the side scrolling

[@daemonstrator2275]

Prince of Persia for the win. Same thought, same moment.

I wonder if they are factoring in the heat wave we had that summer. There were like 30+ consecutive days of over 100 degree weather in 1980.

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

Wow, that must have meant a whole lot of extra deaths. Any more than 3 days in a row like that is just plain brutal/borderline lethal, 30+ of them must have been quite literally catastrophic.

Got massive Dead State flashbacks and started yelling at my screen “Noooo don’t do it Splattercat!”

[@CarlosCosta-lm4ye]

People complaining about weapon durability, of course it will be fixed lol The game won't even be released this year. Chill out, folks

[@Arukorstza]

Tis is very similar to a games from a while ago called something like "This war of Mine" or something, can't really remember. Just the people are all replaced with zombies, and I'm here for it.

[@hoodsom3]

Weapon durability needs to be more durable and not this obnoxious that is always breaking after the 3rd use

[@DarrylCross]

Yeah, I'm not entirely against weapon durability as a concept but too often the degradation is dialed up to 11 and it makes your weapons feel like they're made from paper-mâché.

[@DisappointedJynxzi]

I love that they're expanding the 'Into the Dead' universe, hoping for another sequel of this

[@Damiv]

Yet another developer who has never used a weapon or even a tool like an axe even once in their life.

[@casscain4122]

That accent of the Mayor's in the beginning is so funny bro cant decide whether he's in houston or farmersville but props lmao

[@Darklumina23]

Splattercat not noticing weapons have noise values or ignoring feather fist trait only makes that guy bad with blunt weapons.

[@jakehopgood7446]

selling games is a difficult job
