The Woman On The Radio 🎬 A Project Zomboid Lore Film

[@patbren293]

Great! I'm PZ's assistant writer, you'll have more lore to chew on soon!

[@bakstein1]

Hello hello, thanks! Sounds very good

[@thesysop4998]

Thanks my boi We all appreciate that

[@cd4953]

Thanks for all your hard work, love the lore of this game! The woman on the radio mentions them pushing the zone back, it'd be interesting to learn where the original zone line was and what events took place that made the army fall back to the Louisville blockade.

[@ADcommenter]

How can we escalate the intensity of the lore further? Darkwater Mercenaries sent to the exclusion zone to control the spread of the contagion and are abandoned after being overwhelmed, people immune to the airborne strain are being used to reverse-engineer a possible cure except it fails, large factions develop and take whatever territory of the old world they can, and then after 20 in game years the remnants of the military warns everyone to seek shelter in bunkers as they plan to restore the old world by destroying all traces of it with bombs. The world is still in anarchy despite the threat of zombies already being gone, humanity is restoring itself but at the same time is constantly in a state of anarchy. Civility is restored but the world has lost over 6 billion people leaving only 1 billion left in total in the entire world. Old countries regain their status as a nation while others split into new countries. Then 1 week later the residents of knox county complain of a strange smell in the air... *And it starts all again.*

Cna you give us some insight?

"You know why they don't care right? It's because we're poor." Man that hit me deep...

[@CamdenKnightly]

Money is the root of all evil after all :(

[@Siren_DarkOcean_Official]

As someone from Lower Middle Class its so f'ing true If you don't fit their standards then they don't give two flying f-ks and f-k you over more ways than one

[@Cacowninja]

@@CamdenKnightly It's not the root of all evil nor is it evil. In fact, I don't think their is any ONE root of all evil just multiple ones or something. Money is just a way to trade and trade isn't inherently evil. It's when people get elitist and selfish that you have problems.

[@CamdenKnightly]

@@Cacowninja Be silent An-cap. Money is synonymous with greed, and greed is the root of all evil.

[@Cacowninja]

@@CamdenKnightly Be silent? What a closed minded thing to say. I'm not even getting into ancapism right now. I'm just saying money is just trade and trade isn't inherently evil. It isn't inherently evil to give something to get something in return. Also money can't be the root of ALL evil because some evil doesn't even involve money. I got bullied in school, that didn't involve money. My bullies didn't get paid to give me a hard time. They were just sadistic fucks. Them giving me a hard time was it's own reward in fact. So yeah money isn't the root of all evil. It's not even always involved.

[@caesarsalad1336]

I really hope that when npc's get added we can actually interact and perhaps find these people in the game, it would be so cool.

[@bakstein1]

It would yeah, I hope there will be some nice storylines to play through

[@theharbingerofconflation]

aren’t there already other survivors in the game?

[@sweet9839]

@@theharbingerofconflation nope

[@Siren_DarkOcean_Official]

​@@theharbingerofconflationNope, only from a mod but it's very buggy There is rumors that Build 43 will introduce NPC's

[@trumplostlol3007]

NPCs are distractions in Stardew Valley and they don't serve any real purpose.

[@EJayNine]

This should actually be in the game, props to the editor and voice actress.

[@bakstein1]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@Werlias]

Awesome video! Voice acting, music and scenery was on point, keep it up!

[@bakstein1]

Thanks a lot! And anyone reading this, if you like this kind of Zomboid content, go visit this guy's channel too!

The voice acting was on point it made me have chills at most parts

[@bakstein1]

Yeah she did great!

[@philipjamora2345]

Why does she sound like agent Carolina/ pyrrha nikos

[@255TomTom]

When a voice single-handedly makes you forget for a moment that this is just a game and not reality, you know you've just discovered something absolutely amazing. This all was superb, but the voice acting takes it to a totally different level. 10/10

[@swordmaster24681]

i wholehartedly agree with this statement (yes i know you made this commnt 6 months ago and probably forgor about making this comment)

This is so rad!!!

[@santiagoreussi5490]

really hoping this blows up! amazing voice acting and cinematography ! it's impossible for the developers not to be motivated with this amazing community , keep it up!

[@marcoamazo]

Stuff like this is why i love zomboids lore, you could do so much with the lore and its all so perfect to be made into an animated series or something.

[@bakstein1]

It is! Just enough gaps in the information for your own interpretation

[@goaway152]

working on it.

[@mclovin2408]

If you think about it, even a character that can clear entire towns, has all the guns, gas, food, water, and security that they could ask for, but even then surviving in an apocalypse like this would still be hell, there would basically be no living.

[@bakstein1]

Without other people it would be pretty shit yeah

[@donder172]

It will always miss one critical aspect. The social aspect of humanity.

[@PDT.Z]

I truly enjoyed it I mean it's impossible to not enjoy it Your channel is underrated I hope/wish/pray your hardwork pays off soon.

[@bakstein1]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it and I hope the same!

[@ghostmindd7156]

Absolutely beautiful storytelling. This kind of creativity really gets me hyped for games with just enough freedom to play out a unique experience like this. Will we ever find out what happened to the Woman On The Radio?

[@duketheprotogen7409]

i don't think so, maybe she got away from the horde and her equipment merely ran out of juice. Or she finally found peace in that horrible world.. no one can tell.

[@bakstein1]

Who knows............................

[@rogerjohnson9466]

The voice acting is impeccable. Absolutely fantastic.

[@bakstein1]

Indeed! And thanks

[@angelhm1411]

I love this side of the community that gives more stuff to the lore

[@bakstein1]

Yeah me too, thanks! There will be more coming very soon!

[@Nex_0906]

This is amazing! The voice acting, the visuals, the editing... just wow I loved it

[@dotfeelings]

The sounds, the visuals, the transitions and the voice-acting are all top-tier! I love this so much that I've decided to have it on loop while I work. Same thing I did with your 'The Beauty of PZ' video. Any plans on using some of the fan-made lores/radio broadcast in the future?

[@bakstein1]

On loop? That's a big compliment! And maybe, who knows, I have something I'm working on, and still brainstorming about other ideas rn. Where could one find these fan made broadcasts, as an example?

[@dotfeelings]

@@bakstein1 Hey hey! Sorry for the late reply, can't remember where but I think I just watch some of these broadcast off the PZ Community page on facebook. Some even made videos of it. I guess, check out another youtuber, Komp, for some examples? Either way, I'm looking forward to watching some of your future works. Truly astonishing!

[@moonkitty420]

[@goaway152]

that part about KY being poor..... Truth.

[@about10ninjas]

Great VO. Lot of emotion unlike a lot of dramatizations I've seen about these things. Probably the best delivery out of all of them so far.

[@bakstein1]

Thanks, yeah she did a great job

[@extenduss]

8:03 this scene here has to be the best usage of the f-bomb i've seen in media. there could be no other word that'd be able to capture the sheer despair, shock, and horror of the situation other than that single, four letter word.. fuck.

[@bakstein1]

Yes that's why I made sure to throw in plenty in the second part, not really but it's out now though if you wanna watch it

[@nandor7211]

I loved it!!! Great acting, the visuals. I would love to see more of these in the future if it's possible:D Keep it up, stay safe, and stay home from infection :OO

[@MrHocotateFreight]

Since this game came out, I've seen A)in game non-bite wounds get infected, never a zombie Infection B)bite wounds ALWAYS cause infection So when suddenly out of nowhere, my neck laceration became nausea, then rapid health loss while clean bandaged, I realized you can get the zombie infection more than one way Now I'm not sure what I know, bleeding, infected scratches never gave me the zombie virus, they just take cleanliness and healthy living for a day like always...right?

[@bakstein1]

Every form of wound caused by a zombie has a few percent chance to infect you with the zombie virus unfortunately, don't get scratched!

[@RogerLareau-qx2cy]

This has so many parallels to the situation in Hawaii. The government keeps telling us to shut up and that they will take care of everything.
