addedWe have some exciting news and we honestly hope you guys will share our enthusiasm. We took our time to look into the feedback from our players and we came to the conclusion that we needed to create a whole new experience of Zombie Watch and bring it closer to our mobile version. We are not talking just about the design or maps, we actually went back to the basics and changed the way of doing a lot of things in Zombie Watch. It was something we were thinking about for a while because the game did not meet our vision once had. Somewhere along the line of creating our game, we lost our silver lining and we could not let that continue. It may seem like we were taking a long pause because a lot of time has passed since our last update, but the reality is we were once more developing Zombie Watch from the beginning. This time we are extremely content with the way things are going.
addedSo what has changed? Well, it is easier to list the things that weren't changed - Zombie Watch is still a top-down, third-person, survival open-world game. You still gather, scavenge, defend, fight zombies, build and craft all while having basic human needs like water, food, health. Then things get more exciting - we created a whole new world of Zombie Watch. Now there are multiple smaller maps with different biomes, where you can build your base on the main map but also explore other biomes, like forests, a swamp, and a mountain area. We will not stop there, a few other maps are already in development, like a huge town for example. On all of these maps, there are numerous special places with hidden treasure boxes and smaller towns with loot and special flora. You get your own survivors base of which you are in charge but let's not get ahead of ourselves - a lot of new features are still in development as this continues to be an early access game. We are working hard to keep the progress going since we will also be releasing Zombie Watch in its new image on XBOX in a year or two.
addedTo recap whats new: - New maps - New character with movement and attacks - New zombie models and animations - New UI - New special places - Improved gathering - Controller support
