V0.1.6 Progress so far
Below here is the most important stuff we added (by that we mean, the first things you will see in the new update):
GAMEPLAY:
-Crouching delay, to stop the CTRL spam
-New Weapons: Double Barrel, SVD and Tommy Gun
-Levels are finally worth something! Instead of levels being a visual look, they can now impact the weapon store and high tier guns can only be bought if you have the enough requirements (gold and level)
MAPS:
-New Infected Pripyat for Zombie Infection
-Changes to Zombie Town
-Halloween Themed Maps
Yes it may look like its not a lot, because we are adding more stuff that we want to keep as a surprise or they are small to notice.
But why is it taking so long if these are finished?
Because we are doing a network update, and that requires us to recode most of the game (don't worry, the gameplay will still be the same) to change our network system. The new networking will allow for a lot of players to play and cause more chaos in rooms!
And last, below here is screenshots of Bunker, and Infected Pripyat with me holding the new guns
UPDATE RELEASE: hopefully this month..
New upcoming servers
This should be esaminated to be 1-4 days, or a week.
