Are you constantly alone.

[Kemmler]

I was wondering if you are constantly alone in this game or can you recruit other survivors to help you, i mean it would seem logical in some post apocalyptic nightmare to stick with other people for so many reasons. if you are just solo the whole time then i think ill pass on this game as i really do avoid games with poor graphics but if the gameplay is awesome ill get them.

NPCs will make it into the game in a while from now, it's what the devs will concentrate their efforts on after this release on Steam.

[Kemmler]

i look forward to it then, but ill hold off on getting it till then, i still have state of decay to fall back on till that happens.

At the moment you are alone as NPCs were removed to be worked on. They'll be back in a later version!

Devs have been working on very advanced (seriously impressive stuff) NPC's for quite a while now and it shouldn't be too long before it's actually released.

NPC's removed again? I'm really glad I stopped following this game, after Lemmy (dev) had his little outburst on twitter that was pretty much it for me. This dev team is horribly organized, they were only good at hyping up the community about stuff that never made it into the game. Every time they tried to roll out a new feature, something else had to be removed. So glad it took you almost 2 years to roll out on steam, you've more than missed the zombie survival boat I'm afraid.

NPCs are due to be back in fairly soon, after they move to Iso's for the textures. I guess that's the thing about Indies, you're always exposed directly to devs as people rather than through a PR guy.
It's a shame you don't want to play it any more, a seriously large amount has changed and it's a very fun game.

Sucks to be you, the game is awesome and it's not even near finished. Plus the NPC's will be some of the most awesome AI ever put into a game.

Keep up the good work devs.

Not removed again. Removed once then never put back in, but they will return. I do somewhat understand your disappointment when it comes to the development of PZ, as I've shared a few of your thoughts down the line. That doesn't take away from the fact that PZ is a fun game to play - in spurts for me, because I can only loot/build stuff/kill zeds so many times til it gets dull.

NPCs will definitely be make it or break it for this game far as I'm concerned. Overall though, I got my money's worth out of it having purchased on Desura - but at it's current state I can't quite recommend the game for the price on Steam. Once NPCs are in my opinion is likely going to change but the asking price on Steam is too much for what the game offers right now, imo.

Once I played very old ver of PZ with NPC's. It was quite funny, I really liked it. Now we just have some gunfire sounds and nothing more. I hope u return NPC in game soon

How does it suck to be me because I don't enjoy the same game as you? HERP DERP

Zombie survival has been exponentially growing in popularity.

You're overstating the feature removal too, NPCs have gone once due to conflicts, you'd rather the game was unplayable? Odd.

NPCs will be in some time in the future. Now that the game is on Steam, the devs will most likely focus on NPC implementation and polishing up the map.

Answer: Because you think "HERP DERP" is a valid or meaningful retort.
