changedKATANAVery effectively destroys zombies! This weapon is so powerful and great, it can't even be crafted. This weapon can only be found in Air-Drops or on rare locations.

addedKATANAJust one new weapon. Why is this whole update focused on Katana? It's all about a unique set of animations and special attacks, available only to Katana. It's the most unusual weapon in Life Z.

addedNEW ANIMATIONSAs I wrote above, Katana got a unique set of animations. But all the other weapons have not been left out. In total, this update added or changed more than 30 animations. I could say - almost all of them. So, now there are 8 groups of melee weapons (knives, spears, bats, knuckles, etc.). Each group has its own set of animations.

addedNEW ANIMATIONSIn addition to the attack animations, stone mining animations, tree cutting and some other secondary animations were redesigned or added.

addedBUILDINGAdded ability to build arches. Two kinds. Hello @Lothmore ^_^

The long-awaited Update #15 is coming out today.

Here's a list of changes.

KATANA

Of course, the first item on the change list is Katana.

Very effectively destroys zombies! This weapon is so powerful and great, it can't even be crafted. This weapon can only be found in Air-Drops or on rare locations.

I could say - almost all of them. So, now there are 8 groups of melee weapons (knives, spears, bats, knuckles, etc.). Each group has its own set of animations.

I think everybody's gonna love a knife attack or a heavy sledgehammer grip attack.

In addition to the attack animations, stone mining animations, tree cutting and some other secondary animations were redesigned or added.

BUILDING

Added ability to build arches. Two kinds. Hello @Lothmore ^_^

Also, all the icons of the house parts have been updated. Now they look like this:

NEW ITEM ICONS

Traditionally, we update the item icons. Here's one more set of icons in a new style:

OTHER CHANGES

added: weapon trail effect
addednew models for stone \ iron \ copper mines
fixed: movement towards a location on a global map was stuck

I hope you're enjoy the new visual effects and improvements. I'm going to continue working on new locations for the next update. I have already shown some screenshots of new locations in the Development progress #7.

Have a nice time within LifeZ. Good Luck ^_^
