MattAtlas Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Hello everyone. I've now been working on Saturday's non-canon event for a week, putting in about twenty hours of coding and other stuff (also thanks to Dreamy who has done a shitload of mapping, Lancer and Noble Row for sprites), so I hope everyone will enjoy the event firstly. Secondly, I'm making this thread to inform people of a few things that are necessary reading for the event. First of all, the setting is just shore leave on Konyang. Everyone's going there because the SCC gave them mandatory shore leave after the warehouse assault event. You don't know anything is up, and the event setup partly needs people to split up at least a little. It'll definitely be more fun if you guys make up small groups and explore. An apocalypse is no fun if everyone is just sticking together all the time! The gameplay will be pretty different. I'm trying to replicate a condition of both scarcity and lethality. The main thing to underline is that you are expected to make do with what you find. You probably won't find the best tool for the job, so improvised surgery with engineering tools and painkillers is something you should get familiar with before the event, so you at least know what tools work for what surgery. There are some things to "stave off" death so to speak, but you'll see those later. Exploration is really, really important. There's a fuckton of random loot placed all throughout Konyang, in every corner, house, locker, trash pile, and whatever else. Better loot is found in less obvious locations, so there are rewards for rightclicking every suspicious pile. I extremely encourage you to explore (probably in a group!) to find the tools you need to survive. There are new tools added to make your experience better. Barricade kits, for example, can be used by anyone to put up a barricade quickly. Don't feel guilty about using them as a nurse or whatever. Putting up barbed wire on a barricade is also something anyone can do. Splints will also work on the chest and head!! Make sure to remember this, it's really important! Many balance changes were made to give you a "realistic" zombie feeling. For one, all melee weapons were buffed by quite a lot. Even a crowbar is a very viable weapon to kill a zombie with. Guns are rare, but also extremely powerful - ammo will be scarce, so use it carefully. Additionally, it's far easier to aim for limbs. You can now reliably aim for a head or a hand to pop it off. Zombie limbs are also extremely, extremely fragile! Their weak points are limbs, so make sure to use that. There will be a main objective and a crew win condition, so it's possible to win or lose the event. You won't just be surviving for two hours, but you'll probably have to do quite a lot of it. Anyway, we're getting closer to the event. I hope you'll all enjoy it! 6 Quote
Carver Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Are limbs easy to aim for for the zombies too? Will sewer water still be a comical death trap during this? Will IPCs have their own ‘zombification’ implemented via rampancy so they’re actually vulnerable? Quote

Zombies can aim limbs too yeah but they have no particular incentive for it. I don't think the sewer stuff is in for the event The third is not set in stone atm 1 Quote
