Project Zomboid Major Update Released, Video Of Failure Included

Project Zomboid has finally gone and done it. The developers have pushed 'build 26' to the main download on Steam and soon to Desura too. Desura users will be delighted by this.

I am a big fan of the game as you might have noticed by my previous posts on it.

For those of you that haven't played it in a while or opted into any of the testing versions this update adds massive changes like:

• Online play with servers
• Fishing
• 3D character models
• Tons of new food items
• Masses of bug fixes
• New translations

Here's a brand new video of me utterly failing to survive in a Zombie filled world:

As you can see performance is solid and the game itself is solid if like me you still have no idea what you are doing. Now that the "big update" is out, it would be nice to see The Indie Stone guys work on the combat as I noted in my last post on it, the combat isn't great and considering how central to surviving combat is it would be nice if it wasn't so insanely difficult.
My biggest gripe is that smacking a zombie square in the face a couple of times with a solid frying pan seems to do nothing. In my last video of Project Zomboid I had a golf club which also constant swinging didn't bring a single Zomboid down. Melee attacks need a major buff, but of course that's just my opinion I don't want the game to be easy, but right now I think it's on the side of being too hard.

You can grab it from the developers directly using Desura's handy new widget which gives you a Desura key, Steam key and a DRM free download. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
