"Hello everyone!

JonnyTruant (Tyler) here stopping by to chat and answer some questions, and also give you a little snap shot into our development process, and what we're currently working on. So, without further ado!

From Art

Katanas! Coming this week. All active users will receive a unique Katana in the their global inventory.
Interiors. In the coming weeks you'll see fleshed out interiors, complete with furniture sets. This month we'll also be opening up a bunch of other buildings for you to explore!
WEAPONS . One of my personal favorites - some of you will remember when we asked what weapons you'd like to see/use in the zombie apocalypse. Well, we listened, and RussianKaliber and his art team are SUPER excited to get cranking on new melee weapons, as well as some more common firearms.
Characters. There are currently more characters of many different backgrounds, male and female, in the pipeline, and you'll see them over the coming months. We plan to release them as they're ready, and i'll post more further down the line.



From Design and Code

Strongholds. One map is nearly done, and 2 others are in the pipeline.
Reputation system and name plates. This should come very soon, and I'll post more details - there'll now 5 levels of lawman/bandit each to achieve, each of which comes with a title and icon. Name plates will be seen when aiming at players
Server rental - we're working on this still and testing, ensuring its ready for public release. Making sure we have a healthy balance of options. Processing feedback from a number of threads and polls, balancing, etc. They'll be out as soon as they're ready.
Skills
Call for help
Building blocks. We have a number we're working on (blocks of bricks, wood planks, etc)
Lockboxes
Safe settlements - in game store and inventory access, sentries



That's our schedule for the new few months. We still have a number of options on our schedule, so if you aren't seeing that one feature you have to have more than anything else rest assured its on our plates. Vehicles, VOIP, all those will be coming, but this is the high level on what we're working on for the first part of this year.

Now, ask me whatever burning question you like and I'll do my best to answer. I only ask you keep it civil and have some patience - I'm only one man, but I promise I will answer all constructive questions in a timely fashion! "

Sounds promising just a litle sad those few things has to take months

Thought of



Also, nice updates.. Can't wait for private servers
