As you all can see, the latest releases are all about improving and refining existing mechanics and fixing reported issues: we're preparing for the game's official launch! 😎 After more than 70 releases since the first early access launch in January 2018, we hope the next one will be the One Point Zero 😇
But don't be afraid... once 1.0 will be released, regular updates won't stop, so keep supporting us and giving your feedback! To prove it... just a little preview: with 1.1 we'll open Nowhere city to the survival mode!!
We're also glad to share with you the game's official launch trailer! Please comment!!
[previewyoutube="XNGl5Ct3r4g;full"]
So what about 0.9.2 release?? We TOTALLY redesigned the backpack, trying to address your suggestions about its behavior, style and usability. The code should also reduce CPU workload when playing coop sessions with low-end CPUs. Last but not least, Santa Carla has been completed ...finally! Enjoy the new sewers center and some tweaks here and there.
And what about the reported issues? We fixed more than 15 bugs! 😎 Check the full changelog below!
One special note for users reporting crashes: when you submit a crash report please add some notes that can help us understand what you were doing right before the game crashed, this can help us a lot in pinpointing any new bug!
Enjoy!😉
PS: while downloading the new update, please spend 1 minute of your time leaving a review! This is a 2 guys project... and we need your help! 👍
New backpack and inventory logic
"I want to drop a specific magazine from my belt and I need to remove all of them to find it" "I can't check if I have a melee on my back" "I'd like to have more slots in my backpack while progressing in the story mode" "The backpack is not 100% reliable..." "Sometimes the game doesn't grab the right magazine for the rifle I'm using!"
A very short selection from feedbacks about the inventory collected from steam forum/reviews and from our discord channel.
We can really say... we addressed all of them! The new inventory logic is smarter, faster, nicer and 100% reliable! But we don't want to spoil too much, just try it and let us know! 😉
Just a note for those having already started/completed the story: to add backpack slots in story and trial mode you are supposed to collect a new backpack collectible in every game's map. To find them just follow the tablet map!
Santa Carla & graphics enhancements
With the new sewer center area and some tweaks here and there, Santa Carla is finally complete 😍 Hope you'll like the final result!
- we're also turning on humvees headlights, reducing vehicles reflections and replacing the old ambulance model in all maps:

Hotfix
Just a small hotfix to address a few bugs:

Using oculus sdk, it will be much smoother!) - graphics: grabbing things from the backpack can cause some glitch/flickering when playing in a multiplayer session - weapons: grabbing an arrow from a dead zombie can lead to inconsistencies (e.g. arrows falling when nocked) - crash reporter: TimeSinceCreation value in the crash data reported should be a float value - minor bugs
March update!
Hi survivors!
Listening to your valuable feedbacks (thanks guys!!), once again, we're deploying a new release with many new features and bugs fixed! 😎
Another step forward in the redesign of Santa Carla, reworking the motel area and the main garden park, but also enhancing overall GPU and CPU performances. We're deploying a new grab logic offering finer control over all interactions, improving physical replication for clients and adding a new highlighting system telling users which objects can be grabbed. That should allow novice users to approach the game controls with less difficulty, being also rewarding for skilled players.
Check the full changelog below!
Two special notes for users reporting crashes: - we finally managed to fix a crash related to physics (crash occurring during normal play) - we pinpointed a crash affecting very specific configurations, event if we were not able to replicate it, we're deploying a new fix that should address this rare issue
Enjoy!😉
PS: while downloading the new update, please spend 1 minute of your time leaving a review! This is a 2 guys project... and we need your help! 👍
Santa Carla graphics enhancement
Along with an important optimization improving both CPU and GPU performance, we also worked on: 😍
- the big motel area has been heavily revised: the motel office and the motel rooms have been revamped adding dirt and debris, new textures and new furniture with drawers and doors that can be opened
- the garden park has been revamped too: new lighting with large and small lampposts, new textures, garbage and abandoned objects
- bus stops: all those structures have been totally reworked, adding destructible glasses and more accurate collisions (you can now sit and take a rest while you wait for your bus!)
- cars headlights: we are illuminating a little bit the streets turning on the lights on many abandoned vehicles
Santa Carla is not yet completed, in the coming release we'll rework a few other locations. Hope you like it, let us know! 😋
Controls: grip outline
We have completely re-coded the grab logic, allowing for a more precise object detection and adding an outline that highlights objects that can be gripped based on the current position of the hands. It should help you to be more precise when grabbing things, but if you don't want distractions, you can disable it by accessing game options (grip options > grip outline).
Enjoy!
New features & tweaks: - Santa Carla map: motel office and rooms redo - Santa Carla map: garden park redo - Santa Carla map: enhancing CPU and GPU performances - Santa Carla map: bus stops have new collisions and destructible glasses - Santa Carla map: more vehicles will have headlights on illuminating the streets - Last Garden and Hell Street maps: new environment color tones (reducing blue saturation) - Main menu map: adding hats and relative how-to instructions - The Wall mission: new wall destruction logic - graphics: reducing bloodstains reflections on all maps - graphics: new logo lighting in main menu map - graphics: updating oculus rift cv1 with oculus rift s/quest decals - controls: new real-time outline highlighting objects that can be grabbed (can be disabled in controller options) - zombie: the head is weaker once the zombie is dead, grabbed or penetrated with a melee (aka we want gore!!) - accessibility: crouch offset shouldn't be related to floor offset setting - Nowhere mission: adding a green outline to fuses holders - core: adding new details to crash data reported by the crash reporter (helping us addressing any emerging crash)
Fixed bugs: - core: fixing a crash caused by game physics - core: crash on startup with DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL or E_INVALIDARG - physics: replication issues causing strange client-side grip behavior - settings: fixing an issue causing savegame corruptions - inventory: hidden objects in the backpack shouldn't trigger hand pose changes (e.g C4 modular bomb) - sounds: stuck weapons can produce looping impact sounds - multiplayer: keypad interaction logic can lead to server-client desync - Survive mission: key snap volume shouldn't be visible once the key is snapped - Nowhere mission: fuses can be snapped in the same position multiple times, bricking the mission - Sewers map: reducing colored outline thickness - Nowhere map: prison turrets glasses not obstructed by fog

Dean man walking event
"How about crossing the city with a zombie-luring synchronizer in order to take it to a haunted house?" (Jeremy Standford, infection day 410)
Three main ingredients:
2 antennas scattered around the city that must be synchronized,
a synchronizer to be carried from one antenna to another,
and a gutsy guy eager to try his hand at this feat...
all seasoned with the usual fucking zombies trying to eat you alive...
Kill & collect event
"I need your help! You have to grab some objects as you move around and bring them back to the point marked on the map, I don't have much time, you better hurry!" (Jeremy Standford, infection day 410)
Run through the city to collect objects and help Jeremy with his research!
Santa Carla graphics enhancement
Enjoy the news: 😍
- construction site: the area where you face the final boss of Santa Carla has been revised by adding some abandoned buildings under construction, areas of uncultivated grass and new, more detailed, textures on the surfaces!

Weapon enhancements!
Last but not least some enhancement on the weapons side: 💀 - zeds' head will explode only when hit with specific projectiles, with a new algorithm based on weapon relative stopping power - arrows won't detonate zeds' heads and will attach. When dying (yes they are already dead I know 😂), arrows will remain attached to zed's body, for more realism. - melee will last longer before breaking

August update!
Hi survivors!
While developing the final missions, here another release focused on improving the overall game experience and fixing bugs reported by the community.
Enjoy!😉
New L86 light machine gun
Another weapon added to all maps, this is going to be the most powerful available in the game!
Explosive arrows
Any hunters out there? 🤷♂️ A new deadly addition for the bow and arrow lovers 😍
Always run option
Tired of clicking in order to run? Just enable the new "always run" option (under movement menu) It will let you run just using your thumb/joystick.
Setting for lefties
We decided to remove the "change mode button" from the controller bindings (you can still remap it manually using Steam binding UI) and we added a dedicated option (under controller options > dominant hand) to switch left and right controller. This should cause less confusion for right-handed persons (switching controller mode accidentally) and should be less tedious for left-handed persons. 👍
Despawn time
We reduced overall despawn times for weapons/magazines and objects to enhance performances during long playing sessions. Despawn time is now based on object type (unuseful things will despawn earlier than useful ones), mission objects will never despawn, despawn in Trials mode is x10 faster than Story and Survival mode.
We're also fixing a lot of bugs, check the full list below!
Enjoy!
New features & tweaks:
- weapons: L86 light machine gun - weapons: explosive arrows - performances: reducing 25% objects despawn time when playing Story and Versus mode, 90% when playing Trials - movement: always run option (options menu>movement>always run) - controls: new setting for lefties (options menu>controller>dominant hand) and removing change mode button from controller bindings - core: porting to Unreal Engine 4.25.3
Fixed bugs:
