There are still issues I want to get fixed, some smaller stuff still to be added and other quality of life additions. I will be aiming for another experimental update by end of week. Hey everyone, after a long time 0.8 is finally out to experimental testing. Will be looking out for game breaking issues with both old and new systems, and while the major parts are all added, there is still some room for minor additions.
It should also be said that mods will probably break with this version of the game until they are updated, so keep that in mind.
Here is a quick list of some of the additions, changes, etc;
Engine upgrade from UE5.3 to 5.6
Upgraded Bravo Bunker & Private Bunker (More to be added in the future with the new modular design)
Infection system - Zombies can grab the player and infect them, find a cure or subdue it for as long as you can
Behind the scenes new player skeleton and animations - Multiple new animations and more
New POIs
Zombies react to damage and some objects will now block them from hearing beyond it (eg, Underground)
Option to enable lumen/screen space global illumination and reflections
2 new vehicles
New random events
New difficulty settings
Many new items including a crossbow, fish and to lots of new/improved clothing
'Laptop Quests' now save their progress and don't disappear after exiting the game (Background work in preparation of a larger system)
Fishing requires bait and the fishing rod has durability
Improved/less annoying interaction with entering, repairing, etc a vehicle
Weather is more random
Fixed towing when using the rear of a vehicle
Fixed depletion of batteries, etc
And many more quality of life changes and bug fixes
Lots more has been added to the 0.8 patch that this list does not go over and I look forward to people finding the new stuff added, changes made and the bugs fixed. When it finally comes for the 'stable' release of 0.8 I will also be going over what is currently being made and planned for the next updates after 0.8.
