Its worth paying for the game. The devs put in the work and they deserve the money.

[@Kholdaimon]

Someone complaining it is unfair his pirated game has bugs in it is pretty hilarious...

[@manemperorofmankind8119]

Never pirate games no matter how much you don’t like the company, that money is still used to pay people who then feed their families, by not paying for a game you are literally stealing food from a babies mouth.

[@Kholdaimon]

​@@manemperorofmankind8119 Whether that money is used to pay employees rather depends on the company, if it is a big company then a very large percentage of the money goes to the top layers of the company and it's shareholders, who are plenty rich and don't need my money. If it is a small indy company then all the money goes to the actual people working on the game... I don't pirate games, but your comment shows you believe in an idealized capitalist society that is not how the world works. Also, "literally stealing food from a babies mouth" means someone physically removes food from a babies mouth without consent. Which is not what someone does when they pirate games... You need to look up the meaning of the word literally, as do most people that use the word...

[@KenseiTV]

Zombies in waves take the shortest path towards your command center, so you can predict where they will strike. If they see some buildings on their way they will diverge. So I made sure the buildings where far enough away from their path

I like those copy protections that render your game useless by altering the rules. the fact that this game spawns random zombies in your houses resembles to me the blacksmith of settlers 3 - when the people called the service line and stated "game doesnt work, blacksmith only creates pigs" the service guys knew exactly what was going on. caught red handed!

Does this game offer sandbox mode where you can play at your own pace and spawn waves as you want them? It is my dream to play a zombie game like this but be able to control the waves so I can build and be ready and then spawn as many monsters as I want and mess around with game mechanics

The game does have a map editor. I haven't tried the editor myself so I don't know how good it is or if you can really mess with the spawn waves, but ability to create custom maps does exist.

[@Maelthorn1337]

HMMMM this is very interesting to me. I'm working toward getting the no-pause achievement, and I've been focusing almost entirely on speed and efficiency. As I watch, I'm noticing your resources pile up early game when you could be using them for something sooner, not microing units when waiting for buildings to finish or for resources, things like that. Now that I see this, I understand just how incredibly impactful knowledge and strategy is in order to achieve victory. I think I played too much Starcraft; you can just out macro and micro your opponents and kill them because you're faster.

Do the doom houses produce zombies if you don't attack them? And do they have a finite number of Zombies, or will they continue to spawn forever until you kill the house? Amazing skill though.

[@KenseiTV]

There is a limited amount of Zombies in a doom town. Making noise or attacking forces them to spawn. If they aren't empty at the final wave they all spawn and come for you.

*I have watched a LOT of your videos for this game and have come to the conclusion that either the difficulty level that you are playing at is too easy (unknown what level setting you are using) OR if you are on the hardest difficulty setting then you are just too good of a player. I have yet to see any close games or maps in which you barely won the game. Please let me know details so we can figure this out! We want tougher maps!* **UPDATE! After watching this map I am VERY happy to see this one actually provided some serious challenges with actual setbacks, give and takes and even a few close calls! THANK-YOU! We definitely want more challenging games like this one. The tougher THE BETTER!*

[@KenseiTV]

If you have units nearby and some space to build you can hold with some emergency walls and towers which is what I actually did for the next wave. Additionally if you know the map layout by scouting or looking at wave patterns you can predict where waves won't hit since they take the shortest path to the command center. As seen in the final wave where I leave that side open since it won't get attacked.
