There's been some weird things that I haven't been able to show, too- either because I wasn't recording at the time or because it would have been too out of place to edit in. Mostly clipping issues, zombies walking through walls and spawning under floors, being stuck on walls and not going into attack mode, etc.

Well I've definitely seen things like that in the game; they were pretty common, even. Zombies sinking slowly into the ground when they're supposed to be attacking a window during a siege happen all the time for me.

Some of the tension in the game is about messing up though, and how characters perma-die, and when you run out of resources and how goofing off in this sandbox game gets you in trouble. Gotta show some of that! I haven't played that badly, no missions failed or critical community deaths. I won't endanger my ability to beat the game. Plus maybe I've taught watchers a thing or two so they'll play the game well themselves! It's a teaching LP.

Nah mostly I just thought it might get boring if everything was done right all the time "and then nothing interesting happened"

Don't worry though, breakdown is all about being as good as you can and lasting as long as you can and performing all kinds of tasks to unlock things. And lifeline is punishing to careless players. Over Christmas I was gonna do some DLC recording.

No, I understand the point of making some mistakes, but going full in 'I'm not going to do any missions, and I'm going to kick anyone out who complains' seems a bit less 'making mistakes to add tension' and more 'playing in the dumbest manner possible'. I don't see the point of it, unless you just want to cycle out all your leveled survivors so you can go get brand new ones we don't know yet?

It just doesn't seem like it will be that interesting to me, but if other people think it would be then go for it.

Oh I see!

Honestly we've only leveled up three and a half survivors at this point, I should take some other folks out sometimes.

Feel free to disagree with me or convince me otherwise, but mainly I 'decided' to not do many more helper missions is because they never end. There's always at least 2 of them sitting around waiting to be done, and most of them are uneventful. Our survivors are in a strong place now and it's unlikely they'll get themselves in trouble. Those missions are actually a pretty compelling reason to have longer play sessions- you always have this kind of feeling of urgency or at least of work to be done. However if you spend too long avoiding the story missions, you exhaust the map and you run out of resources. We're in the last third of the game, so we're not in much danger of that, but I just need to make sure I'm not draggin my feet.

Really the approach I was going to take was convenience and opportunity. If a helper mission looked like it was going to be annoying (like having to drive really far) I probably wouldn't do it. I mainly announced it in the 'no softies' way because I thought it would be more funny. :v:

Nice to hear I'm actually not the only one sick of the "humans are the real monsters" trope in zombie/post-apocalyptic fiction. I'd started to wonder...

Also skoolmunkee, I think your game really is haunted (by those freaky Silent Hill 4 ghosts, I guess). :iit: I have never seen so much weird random stuff happen in this game. (And it's great.)

I think you did it. This episode is super funny.

It was one of those things where it's like "Skoobean there's no way you can fit that many marshmallows into your mouth at once" and then next thing you know you're vomiting behind a dumpster, your faith in God and Man crushed to ashes.

You realize when you messed around with the save file, you created a parallel timeline, right? That could undermine the structural integrity of the whole space-time continuum!

This game is on sale on Steam for $4.99 and the DLCs are $1.74 each. If you think you're tough enough to fit 7(!!) Caballos in your courthouse now's your chance to prove it.

Hi I haven't forgotten about you guys, work has just been real demanding he last couple weeks. When I get home I drink orange juice and go to bed. The next update is halfway finished and I'm gonna do my best to have it out before Monday!

Meanwhile, I would like you guys to contribute again! Please send me a short audio file (up to 2 minutes) recounting something from the zombie apocalypse. What was the worst part for you? Did you see something amazing? Any lessons learned? Did it change you? The grossest thing you had to eat? Where did you poop? How many zombie movie cliches did you experience?

Also I am kinda hoping for humorous stuff, as obvs I'm gonna put these into an update/s, but it's up to you. :3: and if you have an idea but can't record then I bet someone would record it for you! Please send them to skoolmunkee at gmail or pm me a link
