Honestly, it's a good game....I still prefer cataclysm DDA tho.

Its just more enjoyable playing a highly detailed zombie game rather than a game with small empty maps in 3D.

Ceased?!

I suppose that might be a good thing? I just downloaded it and it looks to have a TON more content that I remember. Looks very promising.

Don't listen to that dude. Development didn't cease. The experimental version gets updated multiple times per day.

Grab the CDDA launcher for an easy way to install the game and keep it up to date.

Is it? So the dev picked it back up? Last I'd heard he'd ceased development on it to focus on the sequel, Cataclysm 2, but stopped working on that as well because of real life obligations.

Or is it being worked on by modders?

As far as I remember, the original developer did cease working on it. But now modders are updating it nearly ever day. Everytime I use the launcher, it has an update. If you are not using the experimental build, you're missing out.

Yeah, still calling it ceased development. I'll check it out when I've got the itch for another round of C:DDA, but a modding community does not active game development make.

That's a shame.

Development on Cataclysm did cease but the thread is about CDDA and you mentioned CDDA having ceased development which is where the confusion arose. They are essentially two different games at this point. CDDA has been in active development since its release in 2013.

CDDA even had a small kickstarter a few years ago to pay for a fulltime dev for a short time.

But it's not. It's been released and the developer moved on but it still maintains a thriving modding community. That's not active development. That just makes it a really awesome game.

CDDA kind of reminds me of Ultima. Neat!

I can't get used to not being able to see my entire field of vision in C:DDA. Seems to boil the game down to looking for threats via the menu. Very disappointing. Is there something I'm not doing right or am I just supposed to adjust to it?

Pretty sure your field of view and everything can be edited via the options and you can zoom out for a larger view.

So glad I invested the time to learn this amazing game! Really digging C:DDA so far, seems like it offers EVERYTHING that PZ offers plus a ton more. This is the perfect game to play while waiting for PZ to come to fruition.

Well almost everything, obviously there's no multiplayer component. That's where PZ will come along and trump this game. There's more potential for PZ, but it has a long ways to go to catch up with C:DDA.

If you're ever interested in a unique challenge, try for the starting scenario where you're trapped in a lab. It's absolutely brutal, but if you manage to tough it out and escape you'll have access to everything you took with you when you left (probably all sorts of mutagen formula and cybernetic implants).

If you want something that doesn't leave you quite so OP after, the Really Bad Day one is pretty good too.

I tried a few, my favorite so far has been 'Shower victim'. You start out in a bathroom only wearing a wet towel. Had fun running around in the nude, equiped myself with a couple random articles of clothing, beat some zombies to death with a pipe I found, ended up dressing myself in filthy zombie garb.

Quickly discovered the hard way that zombies will get back up and regroup after awhile. I never bothered constructing a cutting weapon to butcher them with and was soon surrounded in the small area I prepared for myself.

[Atwood]

The Really Bad Day starts off like the shower one, but you've also got the flu, a zombie bite you need to disinfect before it kills you, you're drunk, and the house you're in is on fire. It's pretty fun :D

A good substitute for butchering zombies is to just smash their corpses. You can do that with whatever you have on hand, but it doesn't train your survival skill.
