Day 50 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
Today’s is a pretty Simple one. the Game is Project Zomboid. I usually don’t like sharing 2D games because they’re hard to make look presentable, but i also like sharing images that break out of my usual “Here’s a Landscape shot” and wanted to share this. Me and My friend had a cookout in a motel we have a Base in. My Character is a Regular Middle Aged Suburban Dad named Jerry, while his character is My Character’s Adoptive Stoner Son, named Cable. There’s a whole lot more “lore” behind them but that’s the general gist of it.
Love this game! Currently waiting on Build 42 to release so I can hop back in.
The wait for build 42 is agonizing. I have major respect though for Indie Stone for keeping up on the game for all these years. I know the game gets occasionally bashed for being EA, but it feels like they care with each update (and the public roadmap to release helps too)
Can't get my friends to ever play this, because they say "it looks like the Sims". Completely ignoring the insane amount of depth this game has.
Sadly not really a game I wanted to play solo much.
Zomboid started as a Sims mod that has taken on its own world and systems. Imagine the Sims, but a zombie simulator with very detailed and in depth health and healing, food and drink cook, crafting, driving, etc.
They aren't wrong that it looks like the Sims, but that also doesn't make it easy or boring.
ayyy great game✨
I've probably sunk several years into this
Me too, over 1400 hours. I use a lot of mods. I take a break for a year or more at a time and then get hooked again. I'm trying to wait for the NPC update until I do again
This isn't 2D... I think of Mario or Sonic as 2D, what's this though, isometric?
Oh yeah. You’re right. I guess I associate this with being 2D because of all the 2D sprites it uses
I just got sucked back into this game a few days ago. None of the people I used to play this with want to touch it again so I've been running solo. It's still fun, but its not the same as slow rolling up to my buddies base in a cop car with the lights and sirens going with half of West Points zombies following behind me.
I’ve done the same to my friend before, except I spawned in Louisville, so that was the end of that run for him (And me too). After that we always play with the guts camouflage mod so we at least have a fair chance to make it out if one of use fucks over the other.
Amazing game, especially in multiplayer. It's one of my most played games in online game sessions with family and friends.
I’d love to get Server setup for my close friend group but I only have 1 friend who would play it regularly, and only 5 of them even own it. So that probably won’t be happening anytime soon.
Sorry to hear. By the way, you don't even need to set up a server. Anyone can host within the game itself, so it can be a spur of the moment thing. Of the ones who own it, have any of them tried playing it, especially multiplayer? What the game lacks in terms of advanced graphics it more than makes up with gameplay, atmosphere, and depth. Good luck!
Oh yeah. I just meant like a larger scale 24/7 server. Something where I can see it grow when I’m not there
Oh, for sure. My friend ended up setting up a permanent server. It's pretty cool because anyone of us can jump in and play at any time. Although anytime someone does it starts the clock ticking forward, which leads to consequences, as I'm sure you're aware.
The game didn't look this good the last time I played. Need to get back on it someday.
Idk if you’ve been following the game, but we’re about to get Build 42, which includes Weapon Forging, Skyscrapers, and Livestock. It’s really exciting.
Skyscrapers and livestock sound exciting. I would love to jump into this with my friends but we are still playing raft. We started procrastinating in a fkn video game lmao. You got any tips for us to finish games?
Lmao. Me and my friend are in the same boat. The only games I can think of off the top of my head that we’ve beaten is Halo CE and ODST on Legendary. We just kind of had to buckle down and say “okay, we’re going to play through this for the next week, until we beat this”. Besides that though I don’t think we’ve beaten much, or the games we play don’t have a defined “ending” really.
