changedSweeping Balance ChangesHey Barricaders, it's time I listen to the feed back I've received from day one. The game has been too hard, and most of the weapons underwhelming. I forgot what made boom shooters fun, and the potential community suffered as they were met with unfamiliar mechanics in a punishing game.

changedSweeping Balance ChangesI have made sweeping balance changes, that ultimately make the minute to minute game play easier, and more enjoyable.

addedSweeping Balance ChangesThe guns are now more viable, and the zombies less of a threat. I'm hoping this means new players will have an easier time learning the game. As for the veterans, I think you will appreciate the better weapons, and expect a challenge in the full release.

changedNew Weapon: ROPE1954 SMGA super fast firing smg, with a large ammo capacity. The weapon builds up heat while firing which can be released in a cone frying all zombies in its path, even through walls!
