big fan of the new lighting and street lights, changes the mood massively imo

This made me realize how much I miss the old orange look of driving through a city late at night.

[pseudofenton]

It makes me feel so old that it has to be spelt out that street lights used to use sodium-vapor bulbs, and so night time always had that yellow-orange tinge to it.

[DianaBell_MG]

Those sodium streetlights just instantly made it so much more 90's I was shocked how much it felt right.

I've already read the thursdoid like 4 times but still waiting for this lol

[davidmorris]

Must be wild to be so big in the community that devs speak out and mention your critique videos 😮

[knatkniht]

I instantly thought that the school looked too fancy for a run-down town. I'm really happy to see that the devs already fixed this right away.

Thanks. I've been replaying Zomboid the last couple of months and it has me hooked to the gills again. Love it. Thanks for the update vids.

First off, congratulations on surviving yet another Earth-bound orbital cycle around our giant ball of plasma Mr Duck! 🎉 🍻 And for the blog post, good grief but those map updates are looking amazing, between the building and rooftop revamps and the new lighting it's going to make the whole map look and feel amazing! Definitely going to be worth revisiting all the favourite locations to see what's new! I'm kind of glad they're splitting up the crafting into chunks like that, the whole crafting revamp is such a massive undertaking I think it'll be good to get it out to us in smaller blocks for both players and modders alike to give it a good workout.

As for the last part I agree with your take on it, I understand why they want to keep quiet about deadlines and promises right now with everything, it seems pretty clear to me that they're trying to segment things more so we'll get a release of some kind sooner rather than later but it would help if they were to give consistent messaging across the board. Even a simple copy / paste statement or mini progress update on across all social platforms now and then could go a long way.

Either way I'm here for it whenever it may arrive and I'm going to thoroughly enjoy the pants off it too because it's looking like a real banger! Cheers as always, mate!

i genuinely enjoy the amber hue that the street lights have, reminds me of the towns i grew up in

[henkingu]

happy birthday, man! all the best to you. here's to many more good years of PZ

[banboric]

I am a bit frustrated that there is also no mention of basements even though they showed pictures of the library which increased in height. Hopefully basements come in first iteration.

[VincentRoyceMorgan]

Happy birthday, bro! Best wishes!

I love how this will make a lot of the mods I used to use basically obsolete. Bless the modders for giving the game what it needed way sooner, but I'm glad we're finally getting the official thing. And the modders get to focus on doing something more interesting than filling out the missing pieces. And also the developers trying to make everything as easily modable as possible is very awesome.

[kraze]

beaver go quack! consistency is key and by opening the box and starting to talk about dates with build 42 they're obligated to keep going to suddenly stop is not going to give them the same pass they had before about not talking about it. Something as simple as the statement "we're not going to put out any further release information until we are closer would go along way" instead of just pretending like nothing has been said...

[SpitDragon]

So glad I found you right as I got this game! 💝

[silverkivistik]

What i think is game releases in 9 July because when you start playing the game u start on July 9. Not sure if thats going to happen but i think so.

[Emoji-Blue]

Happy Birthday! 🥳🎉

And thank you so much for taking the time out of your special day to share this with us!

this new post from the team really soothed some roughed up feathers for me. The new map and lighting changes are amazing

[eliseosterbrink]

The lighting aspect of the update looks so cool! I'm glad they took the time to implement it in this way; the color variation will make the towns feel so much more accurate and alive. People often forget how things looked before LED lights took over... :)
