0.2.0r or RC2.5 |
July 24, 2012 |
Go to Indie Stone for full release info and download
- NPC tweaks to hopefully make them less hopeless (though don't expect them to be Bear Grylls):
- Why are you trying to pathfind through trees, you fools?!
- Tweaked flee behaviour to avoid 'stand there looking stupid getting eaten' issues. Will now favour a close range pathfind instead of opposite side of map, for quicker results.
- tweaked pathfind manager to put pathfind jobs on empty threads to reduce wait time for NPCs to get long pathing results
- Factored in danger rating of tiles for short range fleeing.
- Found intriguing bug where NPCs stand waiting for a pathfind to complete that's not in the system any more (must have failed or completed) no known cause yet but intriguing and may help a LOT if fixed.
- Fixed bug with 'obtainitem' behaviour where character would go to all the buildings he plans to search before actually searching any of them.
- NPCs no longer collide with pushable objects (for now) so they don't get stuck on them.
- changed zombie spawn. If it still goes weird I literally have no clue what's up.
- Fixed hammer sound glitch.(This is still not fixed)
- Modders: ZombRand(a, b) now changed to ZombRandBetween(a,b) due to conflict issue.
- Zombie start density closer to q levels (though a bit higher and still looking for spawn bugs)

0.2.0r RC2 |
June 29, 2012 |
http://theindiestone.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=8991
- Re-enabled character customization. (No character sprite atm though)
- Fixed a few weapons that have issues.
- Added frying pan as weapon properly. (no special sound yet can't seem to find a free one)
- Fixed bug that meant some weapons never have a 'hit' frame and thus never hit zombies.
- Planks stack once more.
- Add 1366x768, 1920x1200 and 2560x1440 resolutions
- Fixed issue with clip reloading. Remember HOLD R to load bullets, let go to put clip back in.
- Fixed death anim.
- Lowered initial zombie count. Still plenty though! Feedback welcome (It's hard since half want lots, half don't )
- Fixed tree/door chopping (although the damage needs adjustment)
- Fixed hordes appearing indoors.

0.2.0r RC1 |
June 29, 2012 |
http://theindiestone.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=8988
- Added new zombie sprites
- Added New survivor sprites
- Added new animations
- Added new aiming mechanics
- Added shoving with certain weapons
- Added new stabbing combat with certain weapons
- Removed Character customization
- New Running system
- Added shovel, frying pan, and pistol
- Added 9mm ammo
- Removed tutorial
- Increased zombie count
- Tweaked Knife and Axe weight
- Axe has durability
- Music temporarily removed
- Still a couple of things in R not in this build, primarily the wheelie bin between cells and stopping 'lost in the woods syndrome' but they will be relatively quick to add so bear with any 'lies' on the R changelist for a day or two while we clean up any loose ends.
- This first version will be in good ol' batch format. Soon after will add the launcher, and finally (once I figure out how it works since I didn't make it) will add the win/linux/mac installers.
- As stated in another thread, this version does not have music. Sadly the music skipping issue became 1000x worse since the optimizations, and could barely get through the first ten seconds of a track. We'll fix this when we figure out a solution.
- The new blood system had to be removed until it can be optimized memory / speed wise.
- Be gentle. The game's engines have undergone a massive massive rewrite and hopefully the benefits will be obvious. Optimizations are bastards for causing bugs, and this has undergone some massive changes in the name of optimization. We may have new bugs to quash or a few teething problems on certain graphic cards.

0.2.0q |
March 27, 2012 |
- Banished the stair death! If it is not gone (which hopefully it is) stair death should be MUCH less common now. This does not include falling from high floors through careless walking near edges, perhaps unfairly in certain buggy circumstances like missing bannisters.
