The Future World Is Yours to Shape! Dev Log #4

Hi survivors!

PT2 is already on its 5th day, and by now you've surely formed your own hopes for where the game is headed. Fill out this form and tell us what you want in the apocalypse — the world of the next version is yours to shape 👉 https://forms.gle/a9XdboS197KWUjP27


The test rolls on, and your ideas and feedback haven't let up either. As usual, let's have a chat — and here's the bug-fix progress from these past few days.

Player Feedback

Q1: This game is PVE-focused, so why can players still hurt each other? Some even exploit mechanics to get into territories and clean out all the loot.

A: Our goal has always been to put the PVE player experience first. The fact that players can currently damage each other or exploit mechanics to haul off supplies — those rough spots are essentially rule loopholes or bugs, and we'll fix them all once this PT wraps up. Remember: the real enemy of the wasteland is the zombies, not the survivor beside you.

Q2: Can you add a "no NPC interaction" or lock toggle to containers like fridges and liquid storage?

A: We'll keep improving NPC-related interactions, so your supplies are truly yours to control.

Q3: Can you add a transmog/outfit system with a separate fashion slot? Right now appearance is tied to equipment.

A: It's coming next time! So you can both fight hard and look good in the apocalypse.

Q4: Can the cap on recruitable NPCs be raised?

A: It actually can — level up your Charisma stat and you'll be able to recruit more NPC companions.

Q5: Towns feel a bit samey and there isn't much pull to explore — could you add world events / Boss horde gameplay?

A: A horde is a great idea! We'll get performance polished up first, then bring it into the wasteland — and trust us, it'll give you plenty to fight.

Q6: Can water dispensers be refilled or have a water cycle? Can we build rainwater collectors?

A: On it! Survival features like water cycles and rainwater collection — we'll make sure to add them next time.

Q7: Can you add language-based channels (like a French channel) so non-English players can team up more easily?

A: Yes — we'll gradually roll out voice channels so survivors of different languages can squad up smoothly.


Bug Fix Progress

✅ Fixed

  • Main quests getting stuck / not spawning enemies / unable to reset; OBS / stream-capture black screen

🔧 Confirmed, fixing

  • Stuck in terrain / clipping, character (special infected) invisibility, loot-refresh anomalies / claiming, vehicles vanishing, frame drops / performance degradation, CPU overheating, zombie AI / death-detection, audio loss, frame rate not capping, etc.

📝 Logged, scheduled

  • Training screen freezing, territory / building bugs, combination & door lock failures, light / generator power failures, weapon damage not applying, dying on login, etc.

🌐 Network-related

  • Server crashes / connection timeouts, stuck at 100% loading on a black screen → mostly network-environment issues; please check your network or switch nodes and retry

🔍 Investigating / TBC

  • Settings not working, save / item loss, UI freezing, trunk issues, etc. can't be reproduced yet; the rest are being checked one by one


We've carefully noted every piece of feedback — please keep sharing in the group chat and help us build a better post-apocalyptic wasteland together!

And don't forget to add Zeverland to your Steam wishlist — thank you all~
