One of the novelties in this months update is the wooden armor, which will be one of the first ones you will be able to craft. Because of its simpleness it will give you the least amount of defense of all the armors but it is a great starter armor for your journey.
Our main focus remains on development progress for coop. We know how important it is for you to be able to play with friends. Thus, we have been working hard on the coop feature of the game and got most of the core features working.
There are still some obstacles to overcome for getting it ready for EA but the work continues.
There is an abandoned school in Zombie Watch, filled with zombies. Outside of the school, there is a gated playground, where you can build. Isn't this place awesome?
After you find this place and are equipped enough, you can take a shot at killing the zombies. It can be a death trap if you are not careful, but it has amazing potential. It is a huge space just waiting for a new community.
Once you wipe out all of the zombies and eliminate all the dangers, you can convert it into a big shelter for the survivors. It will become a community of people who work for you in exchange for basic survival items, such as food and water. You will also need to take care of the defense, hire mercenaries shopkeeps and more.
This is still work in progress and will change during development.
We will post our scheduled updates once a month from now on because we are currently focusing on coop.
this update is based on the Talent Points & Specializations, the 3 specializations for the main character of Zombie Watch, which are a Defensive, Offensive, and Support. The use of these abilities will make fights more interesting and will be very helpful, especially when playing coop. Special skills will be a major help in your survival!
Every specialization will have different abilities, but they won't be limited to a single character. You will be able to choose from every single specialization. For example, the offensive spec will have a flamethrower, the defensive spec will have a shield and the support class will have the ability to heal with special chemicals.
The images for the talents are just a placeholder for now and are subject to change.
lately, we have been focusing mainly on different biomes for the Zombie Watch world.
The upper part of the ZW map is a cold and harsh mountain climate with low temperatures, snow, and ice. This place contains most of the ore and metal. The character will be cold here so you will need a better and warmer equipment to explore it.
The center part is the most suitable environment for survival. It offers most of the beneficial resources, like wood, stones, and wildlife. This is also the best place to build your base.
On the lower end of the map, the environment will gradually turn into a tropical climate with sandy beaches and palm trees. Here you can find a bunch of rare resources.
these two weeks have been very productive. We managed to add a lot of new item models while making a lot of progress in the development process. The best part of this weeks development update is the interactive interior of the buildings!
We are aiming for the most realistic feel as possible which is why most of the closets, dressers, refrigerators and similar furniture can now be opened and inspected for loot. For this reason, there will be many different kinds of closets and cabinets. In different districts, you will be able to find different things. In the industrial district, there will be more tools and building materials, cities/towns will contain more crafting materials while environment will be full of raw resources. Food will be mostly located in farms, stores, and similar buildings.
This update brings a lot of new items and cool special places – towns! These places will have a lot to offer! It is every survivalist's dream to find a gem like this in a vast post-apocalyptic environment full of zombies!
In towns like these you will be able to buy items and weapons which will increase your chance of survival tremendously. Apart from merchants, you will be able to appproach NPCs who will give you quests. Some survivors may even join you.
The Zombie Watch world will have a bunch of towns, small villages, and cities to explore and search for loot. But beware, there are many dangers lurking in the shadows.
Our Indiegogo campaign is coming to an end in short 2 days! Be sure to check it out for a good deal and the chance to help the dev team before early access.
"The night is dark and full of terrors" ―Melisandre to Cressen
Hello,
It is time for another update already! This new feature is quite exciting and will meaningfully enhance the overall experience. We incorporated a day and night cycle, which will be much more than just a visual novelty in the finished game.
When the night creeps on upon you as you will be busy with creating the best shelter, hunting for food or crafting basic items for your survival, your path will be crossed by other predators. You share the same goal in a way - survival! The whole concept is not yet determined, but the night will hide some secrets for sure. You will need fire. You will need a torch. You will be cold. Zombie Watch will have a different exploration experience at daytime and at night.
Day and night will make the difference between life and death.
Our Indiegogo campaign is coming to an end in short 16 days! Be sure to check it out for a good deal and the chance to help the dev team before early access.
Thanks,

Zombie Watch - UI
Main Menu
Hi everyone!
It has been a long week for us at Zombie Watch dev headquarters and we have a lot of cool things to show for it. First of all head on to our webpage and take a look at our new design! It has that post-apocalyptic horror vibe which Zombie Watch stands for and we love it! Tell us what you think!
In addition to that, we updated all of our social media design and
Indiegogo site.
The main thing that we are very excited about is this awesome new UI! There are a few place holders in there still and there are going to be a few minor changes to it, but for the most part, this is the Zombie Watch UI. It has a great color scheme and it gives this game a post-apocalyptic feel we are after.
Let's break things down a bit for you even though the UI is pretty self-explanatory and easy to use. On the left upper side, you have your character hp and stamina bar. On the right upper side, there is a minimap and a list of quests. The action bar is placed down in the center as usual. There may be a change in a number of slots in the action bar, but this is not something we already decided on.
Here is the character info bar with slots for equipment, clothing items, backpack,.. and the inventory. The slots will be rearranged a bit as we are adding various backpacks in the game and each of them will have a different number of slots. But the general look will stay the same.
I hope you guys like the general look and we appreciate your reads, visits, follows, tweets, retweets, sharing and every social media encounter we may have. Have a great time!
Thanks,
ZW Team
