Is there going to be a story mode/npcs anytime soon?

[yappyboi]

I love the games concept and everything behide it but I just get very bored, very quickly and I play around 40 mins then quit as I have nothing to do. I know this game is in pre alpha but am wondering does anyone know if npcs/ story mode will be added?

NPC's will be added, a story will likely be added since pz used to have a story.

Next update (in the next few months?) Introduces NPC animals. After that human NPC's should make their way into the game. Story will likely be last if I were to guess.

Once animals get released you can expect many new mods on the workshop, including better NPC mods.

Thanks because I been waiting for a update of some sort to get more enjoyment out of this game just feels odd but I love the concept

If you want a purpouse for the game you can try cure mods to cure the infection or extraction mods that lets you escape the zone

Probably, but I would expect it to either be open ended (no real end. You just keep doing stuff until you die.) or if there is a solid ending it likely won't be a happy one.

I don’t mind if it’s a happy or sad ending. I think the project zomboid will do great if they are making a story

Bored after 40 minutes? I'm afraid even with NPC's it won't help much

Npcs will definitely change the game forever when it does come out as am assuming there could be hostile npcs that can raid ur base or friendly npcs that can give u quests

I doubt the addition of NPCs will add any sort of "end-game" quests to the game. It'll probably be more like small, mundane tasks you need to do to fulfill the other survivors' needs. Basically radiant quests that everyone love to hate.

The game has been striving for realistic depiction of zombie apocalypse. As realistic a zombie apocalypse can be, at least. So there probably won't be any grand quests where you save the day by finding the cure and everyone clapped, and whatnot. Probably some minor stories like what's already seen in game through house and road events at most.

I do hope we would have at least some raids happening a la Horde Night mod.

npcs wont make or break the game. its a sandbox there is no goal you just live as long as you can its a zombie sim. your boredom can lead to you making choices that you normaly wouldnt that get you killed ect.

Lol someone said essentially exactly that in a recent video.

Try playing with friends. I was pretty bored playing by myself but when I had some friends join it became 100x more fun. You could also try creating challenges for yourself, like surviving in x location for y amount of days.

Random but thanks I guess

I think a story will return in the form of a tutorial like it did with Bob and Kate. Bob trying to take care of Kate and her Broken leg formed the tutorial to show players how to do the basics of the game

Asides from that I don't think so. Maybe NPCs will patrol the fence to Louisville to keep you out and then are overrun once the zombies break the fence in the timeline along with things like that

If you got bored after 40 mins, this game might not be for you
