I feel like now I’ve played a bit, I can go through the motions and make my character secure within a week i.e survive the helicopter event, find a car, secure a base, have ample food, water and guns.
For me, the zombies don’t really pose a threat any more knowing that I can just make a racket, round them up and pied Piper the fuckers to the nearest forest. I guess I’m waiting for NPCs to really stir things up but that doesn’t seem to be in the near future.
What have you guys done to make the game more difficult or entertaining after you got the gameplay loop down?
That’s exactly what happened with us. I spawned on the 3rd floor of an apartment near the downtown police station, pushed my way to the second floor and panic jumped out the window into a crowded parking lot, sprinted across it and over a fence into another and sprinted like hell. Luckily the street I landed on after the third fence jump was north of the police station and fairly quiet and I found a cricket bat in a gym. I recouped and made my way into the police station and was only met with about two dozen. Two of my buddies spawned downtown just east of the police station and had a hell of a fight to get where I was. It was honestly the most heart pumping Zomboid gameplay I’ve had to date and it was amazing
