Alpha 9 Status
Ok now for the news you’ve all been waiting for. The word on the street is that the Pimps have decided to accelerate their Alpha 9 schedule shuffling a few features around moving some things forward and a few things back to post Alpha 9 to get you guys a kick ass new build sooner. If all goes well you’ll get it as soon as August 8th. Here are the planned features going in.


-Randomly Generated Infinite Worlds which include all biomes types with custom elevations, lakes, natural deeper rivers, curvy roads, random locations, and a procedurally generated centralized wasteland city with some never before seen locations!
-A kickass new AAA GUI with all new art including belt, backpack, character screen, map, friends list, new minimalist compass and player stats. The GUI also includes added functionality including our new data driven in game map system with fog of war, a searchable recipe list and friend compass tracking
-New leg sprain, leg fracture, leg break and dysentery de-buff systems
-Under water effects and drowning system
-World improvements including decorations adhering to the terrain to altering what is found out and about while scavenging. All major prefabs have been given a container overhaul. We thinned out the cabinets and other things that can hold loot, but increased the odds that things will be found within them. This has the dual benefit of making longer scavenging ventures more profitable while not spreading too much more loot into the world as a whole.
-And lastly if time permits watch out for our new Gore block system where zombie bodies decompose into bloody piles that stack up and can work in the zombies favor.

So now here is the hard question.

Do we want our world to be randomly generated for our main server? (This means the world will be reset)

-DetroOps

Thanks for posting that info for me while I was at work Detro.

Def voted yes for a reset for the random map generation!!!

i vote yes, we all knew before hand that this would happen

I voted yes for random map generator. I just hope the infinite world isn't going to have a negative effect on gameplay. I can't imagine traveling 3+ in game days to check out each other's bases. I guess we'll just have to wait and see :lol:

We currently have two servers and as long as the funding for both continues we will keep them. One server will be random generated and the other will stay with the current map for PvP events and testing.
