Man, I think I'll move to Linux too.

Instant updates, plus it'll be much easier once I start working on my mod.

Even mother nature is on the zombie side!
Sealed myself on a clothing store, back room with no windows, reading books and eating chips, because of the thunderstorm out there.
I notice I'm out of food, check the map, and there's a grocery right next door, sweet! Then I open the door... and the store had been hit by lightning. 2 zombies, 2 skeletons and a boomer were trapped in the fire, and I manage to go around. I reach the broken window and get facepunched by a zombie, with 4 more behind. I grab my combat knife and begin fighting. Suddenly, I'm struck by lighting by one of those pikachu zombie bastards. Killed them all, and started running to the grocery, with a shrieker behind me. with 65 speed he was getting close, so I decide to turn around and kill the freak. He shrieks. Suddenly, zombies circle me. I run as fast as I can, pass the grocery and bump headfirst with a zombie brute. first time i've seen one. So, as it was an emergency, I pull my rifle and start shooting it, but it was useless. I guess zombies love thunderstorms.

And this character was going so well...

This is what happens when you don't carry shotguns everywhere.

I learned the hard way that gas station explosions are not the best way to deal with a horde. Also, has anybody here made it to summer or even *gasp* autumn?

There is no thing such as that "autumn" you speak of. 8)

Seaspns don't cycle yet, I'm afraid.  I'm thinking of making each one last 10 days... maybe 14.
If you want to try gameplay in other seasons, search game.cpp for the first instance of SPRING and change it to SUMMER AUTUMN or WINTER.

This is a planned addition!  Along with a botany skill to help you ID tasty plants.

The source of the moving slowly on all tiles is cargo pants. Also library with cloning vaults instead of shelves.

Cargo pants are bugged in general?

Actually, this is the real reason.

Quote from: Whales
Ah, yes, that was a bug.  I rewrote the movement cost code, trying to streamline it a little bit, and the "your movement is slow!" message now crops up any time movement costs more than 100 points--clearly not quite intended.  Fixed now, thanks.

EDIT: Oh, and the cloning vats in the library might be because you didn't do a clean compile, according to Whales. You should do a "make clean" instead of just "make".

really? It's kind of weird, because the passing of time as it is now gives a big sense of realism to it. And with the possibility of being self sustainable, it will be possible to survive for a long time, either in a hut on the forest, or inside an NPC fort.

Yeah, I think it should be at least twice that - surviving a single season should be an impressive achievement, but the seasons should be tied to the character, so if you keep playing you'll eventually have a character get to winter. :P
