  [PERFORMANCE]
  
  
• Fixed memory leak causing out of memory errors on some systems.
  
• Performance changes / improvements (no promises, including the demo, with the numbers we're talking chances are it'll take a few to get most of them sorted)

• Added inventory icon for berries bush.
  
• Added various tooltip (pills, ...), to help the new players.

  [BALANCE]
  
  
• When you make an item, we set the condition of the result item with an average of the used items condition, and not just the lowest condition.

• You'll now have much more chance to find stuff (including axes and hammer) in the West Point toolstore (in front of the sea horse coffee).
  
• Time to start a fire in a oven increased.

I have a quick question? Are you guys focussing on having coop or multiplayer or working on NPCs or just going along as you work?

[lemmy101]

We're working on performance and stability / bug fixes until the game makes an undeniable good impression to the majority of people who try the demo. Until then working on anything else would just be damaging.

As soon as we get there, hopefully only in a few hotfix patches, we'll start full force on the cooler stuff.

[Codyrum ~ Hawaii]

Ok thanks and BTW other than a few lag spikes and crashes YOUR GAME IS AMAZING AND VERY VERY ADDICTING. Thank you for your time and i have one minor bug it dosent happen often but happened and i think you should know the inventory got stuck on my mouse pointer and i couldnt do anything but exit out of the game. Other than this thank you for this awesome game and im happy to help with the early beta!

[Elridge]

Demo left a good impression on me, though it made me think I should leave a baseball bat in my bedroom incase anything happens. As a gift to whoever will be looting my house in the zombie apocalypse hahaha

May I ask a question? I really love your game, it runs perfectly on safe mode. When you are done the tuning of the demo, and such, are you planning on adding cars, like fuel and parts?

[StrangeLittleMan]

The game rocks. Other than occasionally crash-quitting when I go to quit, its pretty much flawless on Mac OS X Mavericks. One minor bug regarding the inventory sometimes not moving objects around when I tell it, but there's a work around (select another object, go back to the one that couldn't move, should move then).

Can't wait to see more.

[Tannoy]

The lighting issue seems to be a major problem.
Someyimes its hard to tell if the lighting in a room is on or off
then later you attract zombies because it was on.

And i dont know if you're already on to this but one of the houses near the starting house
in West Point - the kitchen light is way high up on the wall and it takes a lot of clicks to
activate it.

Where do you get 0012 from as I am running on 0011

[Kirrus]

Solo, this is just a announcment letting you know what they've got in the works. When it releases, steam'll autoupdate your build. If you want to live on the bleeding edge, you can sign up to the beta, but they break that build from time to time, so don't expect it to always work.

2 fix kidding me .....

This list will get a lot longer over the next days... trust me.

[lemmy101]

Just because something is not on this list doesn't mean it's not been worked on, or isn't even already done. We only fill them in once they are done, tested and we get a moment to update.
