Zombasite's Expansion ?

[( Tchey )]

Hello,

I didn't find a place to talk about it, sorry if i missed it.
Or it should go there ? But it's messy : http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthr...t=37179&page=2

So far we know there should be new monsters, events, factions, better clan managment... and a couple of new classes.

One should be the Bard, with powers such as

Inspire Greatness, Asphyxiate, Illusionary Monster, Archaeology

Any early screenshots yet ? New biomes ?

I never really manage to get into Zombasite, even if i really enjoyed Drox Operative (thanks for Linux port !), and (less) Din's Curse, but i keep an eye on Soldak, and i may buy the Expansion and even maybe enjoy it. Mostly i'd buy it to support the next Soldak title, actually.

I hope there are new indoor and outdoor areas. I also hope there is more reason to go indoors into dungeons. Those were the best part of Zombasite in my opinion.

I am hoping to get some new area types in. There isn't any new art actually in the expansion yet, so screenshots wouldn't do any good (this should change soon).

I was wondering if you have any ETA yet*? Like, Q1, Q2... ?

Will you do Alpha, Early Access, straight to Release, something else ?

And, you are still Linux friendly ?

The Expansion needs to rework the GUI, at least to something close to that mod http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37042

I think it's a must have.

I'm hoping to get the expansion out this spring. I like Early Access, but I'm not positive that Steam allows this on DLC. The expansion and the next game should both have Linux versions.

Hey, i had a strange dream last night ! You where releasing the expansion, and instead of one new class, they were two of them, but i can't recall the details. The game was top down view, also. Hah !

So, was it only a weird dream ?

They let people release DLC for early access games (ARK), so I would surprised if they don't. (Actually I wouldn't, because Steam logic)

In any case -> Wednesday, June 21 is last day of spring. LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!

I'm currently only planning on the one new class for the expansion (Bard).

What about the GUI ?

It could easily be possible to have mostly all windows realigned and opened/closed with one single button, like in the outdated mod linked before.

Same with the hotbar, could be reworked too.

And the super-annoying green blinking hand in the middle top right has to be removed.
