More info:
- 4 Unique Character Classes - Play as one of four characters, each with their own special abilities, devastating weapons, and distinct role in co-op play. Upgrade characters via individualized skill trees to turn these survivors into fierce zombie killers.
- Deep Weapon Customization - Build and customize an array of weapons to obliterate zombies into decaying pieces of flesh. Scavenge for supplies and blueprints to upgrade guns and melee weapons at the Hideout workbench to best match your playstyle. Use weapon modifiers to make your firearms even more powerful.
- Free Roam Mode - After completing a level, dive into Free Roam Mode to explore the mysterious island further to battle terrifying zombies, find loot and blueprints, take on side missions and more!
- 4-Player Co-op - Team up with other survivors in an exciting online co-op mode for up to four players! Take on missions, battle hordes of the undead, and scavenge resources and blueprints together.
- Blueprint Crafting System - The blueprint crafting system is the core of Projekt Z and influences almost every other game mechanic. Blueprints are needed to build weapons, shops, structures, gear and more.
- A Customizable Home Base - Find refuge from the island’s lethal enemies by heading to the survivors’ secret hideout. From here, you can upgrade characters, craft and customize weapons, take on side missions, and build shops to buy and sell items. Upgrade these shops to unlock even better equipment and weapons. Make your Hideout a home by building structures and other cosmetic items.
- Gather Loot - Survive the island one day at a time by looting its valuable resources for weapons, medical supplies, ammo, blueprints and more. Sell looted items at the shops or use them on yourself. Make sure to return to the Hideout safely after gathering loot because items are lost upon death.
I spoke with the studio co-founder, Justin Miersch, who confirmed today they still plan to have Linux support at release. Good news for shooter fans!

One more time, developers: please add local coop. :(
Even 2 player coop is good enough.

Controllers have always been inferior to keyboards and mice as a control scheme, so I'm willing to accept worse controller support as long as a game at least has some.
Also, if the project is using SDL, like most are, then you can receive inputs from multiple keyboards and mice individually.

QuoteAlso, if the project is using SDL, like most are, then you can receive inputs from multiple keyboards and mice individually.Yes, it is possible technically. I was just wondering who would actually put up with using two keyboards and mice on a single computer for gaming. Two gamepads is way more common, I recon.

Still, I would love to see four player splitscreen using four keyboards and mice some day. Pure pandemonium!

I actually did that once, back when I was still on Windows. I used Nucleus Coop to play Content Warning with 4 players split across two monitors.
The trick is get those keyboards that have mouse pads built into them. They're not great for anything requiring fast reflexes, but for a game like Content Warning, it's good enough and we all enjoyed it.
That said, I do agree with neolith here in that multiple gamepad support is better.
