I like how this always keeps up the suspense of anything that could happen next this is certainly the best Zombie Apocalypse game out there I like how they have decided to talk about not hanging around the school for much longer I mean the bandits was one thing but I think from a previous update there was mention of a fire and if uncontrolled that has all the makings of being a disaster so not just Zombies and bandits that are the main issue but nature itself!

Nowandthen Update Banner.jpg

It occurs to me that the development and workflow that each chapter goes through almost always proves to be a different experience each time. Some episodes are built in quarters, while others have the intimate scenes left until the end of the build (due to them being more complex with the integration of animations). Chapter 15 may be the first time where I'm technically (by the tracking spreadsheet) about halfway done, but realistically have about a 90% playable build.

By that I mean that, outside of the last scene, you could play through the current episode and mostly get what's going on. There's some script that's in an alpha state (some that's even just placeholder), some scenes that'll get re-shot, and very little in the way of audio code/story flags in the code right now.

So, hopefully, by the end of this weekend, I'll be able to move on to filling in the holes and polishing this release for testing and uploading next week.

I have a question..
In the school arc...why didn't MC & the girls (Carol & Naomi) put together 2 beds...for them to sleep together...I'm not saying 3somes...just to sleep...
This question always bugged me xD
Is it story wise something?or render wise? or something else?

One part of the answer is probably it was easier to set up the scene that way. There were cot assets but not double cot assets. The other part of the answer, and in head lore, is cots aren't comfy when put together. The edges of cots are uncomfortable as all hell and sleeping with any part of your body between two cots would be a nightmare.

Mixture of a couple of things. One, the map has those cots baked in so there's no way to move them. I could have replaced them with something else, but that would have required basically rebuilding a large portion of the map. Secondly, I wanted the location to not exactly have the same comforts as home (lack of privacy, difficulty to do more than sleep on the beds) as a point. There are definitely spots (especially in 15) where the void of homely comfort is a "pain point." I mean, Jack and Carol haven't "slept together" in a bed since they left the apartment. So, when they eventually find a new place to resettle, there's a juxtaposition of it feeling "more like a home."

I do that with my current bed, two twins can make a budget queen :)
I tried it with a cot like those in the game once on a school trip once and ended up with a bruise on my hip.

Thought you were on the wrong thread talking about a harem until I saw the measurements, haha...
Well - I mean if you had a 36 inch waist, and two girls standing side by side would be the width of a king mattress ... :)

Or just be a big-tall-wide MF like me ... and hog the whole damn thing to yourself ... lol
