Nice one, I will pick it up when I get home. Did you want to hop on it for a bit today?

I will have to see if I am around tonight, not sure at the moment.

I see the double-posts are back with a vengeance, Greg

#23

Pissing things, if I forget to double check as I past it in the phantom black text turns up. See how you go with tonight, I can just get downloading it.

#24

It is because the Gregory is not the sort of person that has the admin bur?

#25

Very true. You going to pick this up Meg?

#26

I will have a look

#27

Didn't get a chance last night, as I mentioned in the chatbox - did you Greg? Any good?

#28

Got it downloaded but just did a bit of SE. Will have to check it out later.

#29

OK cool, I will try and get on later.

#30

Not downloaded it yet

Well I think this shows promise. I got a couple of hours in and got most of the mechanics understood - except for crafting, which I am still unsure on.

Day 1

My first in-game day was spent wandering around and trying to figure out the controls. I picked up some food and a baseball bat and ran around smashing windows, climbing inside people's houses and looting. After caving in a few Z-heads I was told I was thirsty. I drank some water from a toilet and all was well. I was then told I was hungry. Searching in a house I found a "TV Dinner", which sounded perfect. I walked over and put it in the oven. While I was waiting for it to cook I read a book. A short time later I came over to the oven only to find I had burnt my TV dinner. The game told me I would get depressed and unhappy should I eat it. I did. I was instantly overwhelmed with depression and told I was tired. I went to sleep on the couch.

Day 2
The next morning I awoke in an unhappy mood. I was playing about with the controls and somehow managed to accelerate time at an alarming rate. After smashing some keys I finally got it back to normal. My character was hungry, thirsty, bored, depressed and tired now. O goodie.

I found a steak and slung it in the oven to cook. I was not going to let this meal burn, so I stood there watching it cook. The instant it was finished I grabbed it and scoffed the whole thing. As is tradition, I washed it down with some toilet water. I was told my character was going to collapse (presumably because he had been awake for about 2 days solid due to the time accelerating-issue). I curled up on the sofa and went to sleep.

Day 4?
I woke up in the middle of the night and could not see a thing. I thought it best I continue with my book in the pitch black, so began reading for a bit. Morning came and I was hungry and thirsty. I searched around the neighbourhood for supplies and came across a packet of cigarettes and some peanut butter. I ate the cigarettes and the peanut butter and sipped some more toilet water. I also found a backpack and various other supplies. I went on a journey north. My mood seemed to change as I smashed Z after Z' head in. My depression lifted and I found new vigour. As the day went on I looted a liquor shop for crisps and ice-cream and broke into a farm house to steal a hammer and nails.

....that's pretty much how my game went so far.

Hahaha, superb Jeg. Sounds like a few days in paradise to me. I look forward to giving this a go.

#33

Yeah, was good fun. I enjoyed it and I am sure you will. It's kind of like DayZ, 7 Days to Die and The Sims all mixed into one. Zombies are quite dangerous and if you are caught surrounded by more than 2 of them you are in big trouble (at least if you are only armed with a baseball bat), since it has a fatigue system to prevent you from running around constantly whacking stuff.

I will look into getting a server up so hopefully it will be ready when we have got the basics down.

#34

I had a quick play around on the newly up server last night. I was doing well until one morning when I climbed out of my window to escape a zombie smashing on my door. I ran around to the front of the house and killed the blighter. Then, a horde of about 30 of the swines rushed me. I ran off into the trees, leaving all my loot behind. After scrambling through the trees I came across a church, which I took refuge in for a while.

After a little hiding I tried stealthily making my way back to the house. The bastards were everywhere. I fired off a few rounds from my brand new pistol and they rushed me again. I managed to outrun them but wasn't in good shape. This is pretty much where I left it.

Basically, I spent 2 hours collecting loot and stashing it in "my house", then had to abandon the lot.

That sucks balls, perhaps with a few of us we could split the pack a bit and dispatch them silently.
Do you know if the enemy numbers scale with the number of players? 

#36

Yes, may require some diversionary tactics to lure them away I think. Bastards. I was going to have some bacon that night too! I ended up eating a banana I had lying around instead. It's just badong.

Without doing any reading, I don't know about zombie strength based on players. I DO know that things get harder as time goes on, but quite what is meant by that I am unsure. I can do a bit of research, but didn't want to spoil too much at this point.

Good fun last night, really like the game!
