Arma Rex

Looks like a new vulture, chicken, and doe model hiding in the background. You can see part of the new dire wolf as well.

I'd rather not have three thousand needless processes going on in the background of the game, to be honest. Whatever optimizations that undercut the experience you all notice hasn't stuck out to me, but perhaps I'm missing something. The only features that have been stripped out in favor of optimization I can think of is zombies no longer being able to trample farmland (when it existed), the removal of concrete drying (this was a mistake), and the smell feature (another mistake). Aside from that, optimization features like having the insides of buildings occluded when far away theoretically would be a massive performance boost in places like the skyscrapers.

Not to sidetrack too hard, but it's worth noting that the zombie poodle is from a terrible port of Dead Rising to the Wii, it's not even canonical.

Do you ever quit complaining about small details that are completely overblown in your head? It seems like every post you make is about nonsensical criticisms (especially with your odd complaint about having sandals on the plant fiber clothing set). This isn't your personal blog on what you think would be nice in the game, leave that for the Pimp Dreams board at least.

This brings me back. Plains was my favorite biome to build and live in. I forgot about the water biome, that really brought a lot of life and ambiance to the lakes and rivers they encompassed. I hope it makes a return, it really was nice.

This invalidates any supposed criticism you had against the development of 7DTD if you honestly think that. No one in their right mind wants bandit AI that's the equivalent of the zombie soldiers in the original Doom, especially in 2024.

I feel like we've had this same exact discussion before months ago with you comparing 7DTD to other games, or trying to force your understanding of what the game is on others. Bummer, it fit perfectly within the Arizona landscape, wish it made a comeback.

For lore purposes, Bob's formula for feeding and mutating Grace could have had some form of testosterone in it, especially in the case of a growth hormone.

Since no one shared it here yet, the pig is returning with a new model. Additionally from what the tweet implies, we'll be seeing new animal models and perhaps new animals all together.

Will probably never happen outside of a mod due to technical limitations. There's been light discussion about chicken rearing, but not much else unfortunately.

I mean, it's a pretty valid subject to be concerned about. This has been one of the main Kickstarter selling points since the game's inception, and has been in development since at least A15, making it about seven years since we've been waiting for their inclusion.

Nice, they must have put this up after TwitchCon.

Good to know. It seems a lot of people have the notion that TFP's attention is divided between 7DTD and the new Blood Moons project, but with this clarification it sounds like they're only overseeing it. As such I'd assume this will take significantly less effort than it would to directly develop it, and work on finishing the main game.

Just to be clear @Roland, is Blood Moons the sequel game being developed in the Unreal Engine that's been teased for the past several years?

I think the Rotten Caverns are the closest we've gotten as of recent. Some more that are based off of Arizona's cave systems would be quite cool too.
