Welcome Survivalists,
It’s been a while since we gave you a development status update so here goes.
Mocap Zombies
Several of us just got back from our recent zombie mocap session at Just Cause Productions in LA with stunt actor Mark Musachi. The group has done work on many high profile games including the Resident Evil series, The Last of Us, Dead Rising and more. Check out the video below for an awesome sneak peek.
Alpha 8 is great
Alpha 8 is coming along nicely featuring fully smooth terrain, a new world collider system for player, zombie and objects, new upgrade downgrade blocks, crafting organization with categories and sorting, land claim and durability tuning and much, much more. Tentative release date is May 3rd if all goes well.
What’s next?
There are a lot of things in the works but here are a few big ticket items.
Integration of the new mocap zombie animations featuring 175 moves covering everything we had before and new systems for turning, jumping, crawling under, knock down, stumble back and dynamic zombie crippling.
New first person higher resolution hands with a new better deforming animation rig
New base male and female character models and a new Character creation system with loads of wearable customizable clothing visible on yourself and other players
First version of random generated worlds for a new experience every time you play
Cleanup work so we can stay backwards compatible for saved games and begin to set up the framework for Steam Workshop prefab and world mods.
It’s hard out there for a Pimp
We’d like to give a big pimp shout to one of our team members Alexander our world builder. Alex is pursuing his musical dream with a new group “The Migration” who have a great indie folk sound. They just started an INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN so check it out and support small Indies who dare to dream big!

Known Issues

Currently there are no upgrade/downgrade path for concrete, reinforced concrete or metal doors.
New Systems Guide
Alpha 7.10 came with upgradable downgradable blocks, land claims, friends list and locking doors and chests. Here is a little more information on how these systems work. Upgradable and Downgradable blocks
Players can build wood frames and while holding a stone axe with wood planks in their inventory right click on a wood frame block and upgrade it to a wood block and repeat action to upgrade it to a reinforced wood block. Then if you have scrap metal you can upgrade it once again to metal reinforced wood block. These same blocks can be damaged and downgraded to their previous states and then repaired and upgraded again.
There is also a higher grade cobblestone path that upgrades form metal rebar to cobblestone to fortified to reinforced metal concrete
Land Claims
New players are awarded 1 land claim keystone block in their starting inventory if a server is running Survival PvP. Ways to earn more will be added in future updates.
You can kill players and loot their land claim blocks if they haven’t been placed or mine up a land claim block and steal it for your own so its wise to protect your land claim blocks
The keystone block is a special looking block that when carried by the player shows a 7×7 or server set protection grid rendered as a transparent green protected grid.
The keystone block offers durability protection 7×7 all the way vertically
Keystone blocks can be destroyed by other players removing their durability modifier of the fort
Only the owner and friends in your group can build blocks in your land claimed areas
Land claims have a no claim zone outside of their perimeter where only the land claim owner and friends in his group can stake additional neighboring claims. Default could be 30 meters measuring keystone to keystone (This could be an optional owner permission setting)
Only the owner of a land claim and friends in his group can add new neighboring land claims right next to an existing land claim but not overlapping
Zombies and owners/friends of the claim owner are not affected by claim durability
Players must revisit claim once a real-time day to prevent Claim Decay
Land Claim Game Options include
Claim Size – Sets the size of the protected area around a land claim block. Default is 7×7 all the way vertically.
Claim Deadzone – Sets the distance neighboring non friended players can place their land claims. Default is 30 blocks/meters away.
Claim Duration – The number of days a player can be offline before their land claims expire. Default is 3 real-time days
Claim Decay Mode – How a land claim’s hardness modifier decays over time that the claim owner is not on the server. Default is Slow
Claim Health Online – The hardness modifier applied to land claims for players who are currently online. Default is 32x harder to destroy.
Claim Health Offline – The hardness modifier applied to land claims for players who are currently offline. Default is 32x harder to destroy.
Friends list
The new friends list can be found if click on the friends tab in the main inventory menu accessed by hitting ‘I’ in-game. From there you can invite players on the server to friend, see invites, accept invites and remove friends. Friends have advantages like sharing buildable areas, seeing each other player icons and turning on friendly fire if these options are set on the server. Locking Doors and Chests
Players who craft doors can lock them, unlock them and set passwords which can be shared with other players. Note the player who owns the door or chest never has to unlock it or enter a code to open the door. Friends who know the password only have to enter it once.
