Horde Mode Update

HELLOOOOOO PARADIZE,

If you didn't hear this in my (Jeff Tusk's) voice, then something has gone wrong with our marketing and I'll have the intern in charge ejected from the closest airlock. Now, don't get me wrong, but from my safe haven on the moon, I've seen you build your bases, build turrets, find new weapons, and I'm starting to wonder if you're even trying to get up here anymore.

Regardless, a new survivor seems to have made his way into your camp and he wants to test just how ready you are for the zombie apocalypse. Chat with this survivor to start a new challenge, Horde Mode. Batten down the hatches and get ready as wave upon wave of Zombies descend upon your base, testing your skills as you try to survive.

The irony being that you won't. We couldn't quite work out how to stop the unending zombie hordes, hence the use of the word "unending". However, thanks to our latest technical innovations you'll be able to zip-zap your base to how it was before the attack in a jiffy. Don't ask us why we don't use this to go back to before this whole thing started...

I've also been told there are other changes afoot, but I will leave it to those who can like to read to find out below. See you soon survivors!
