Motel
3D Artist
Shirk has completed a new modular motel set, allowing the team to create many variations of the same type across the map.
Fuel Station
A new fuel station.
Supermarket
A new supermarket named
Safewee after one of the project's backers on Kickstarter.
Drive-in Cinema
A new, functional drive-in cinema, which can actually display video on the screen.
Post Office
A new post office.
Prison
A very nice-looking prison building.
Police Station
A new police station. Unfortunately we don't get so see much of it, only a interrogation room and some sort of garage. The interrogation room however has a working one-way mirror.
Trailer Park
The trailer park we saw in the previous Dev Vlog has been finished.
Housing & Fortification System
The
housing and fortification system, as the devs call it, has seen some improvements and new features. There is now a logical electrical system which includes a fuse box and outlets.
The fuse box can be used to toggle electricity on or off, and electrical devices must be placed close to an outlet to utilize power. As of now there are no visible cables however, I hope this is something that can be added later.
The ability to shoot out light sources has been added and you can now close window blinds to break line of sight for both zombies and players. Both these features were requested by the community.
New AK-M Animations & Gloves
The AK-M has received some nice new animations. New hand meshes were made and gloves were added. Your arms will reflect the skin tone you choose during character creation and any gloves will show up in first person. Gloves also have the gameplay advantage to help keeping your character warm during cold weathers, so they are more than just eye candy.
GPS Devices
An ongoing goal is to reduce HUD elements, for navigation for example you will rely on GPS devices. Here we see two of them, the wrist mounted one will be what player start with, while the more advanced military GPS will be something you can find later in the Gameworld.
