Hello gamers, I hope you are all doing well. For those who don't know, I'm still playing Project Zomboid. This game never ceases to amaze with everything it has to offer, from different mechanics like farming, carpentry, car repair, etc. to different game mods that can be added to customize your game to your liking. To say that there is a right or wrong way to play it is to be wrong, as the experience and missions will depend solely on you and how you face this end of the world.
I had previously lost a character with whom I lasted more than 8 months, this made me want to play another type of game (permanent death), although death is permanent in this game, the idea of playing it this way is that when you die you delete your game so that all the progress you made in this world (base repairs, constructions, collected items) are lost, I tried to play it this way starting with cleaning the city of infected making good use of a couple of Molotov cocktails causing the whole city to smell like roasted meat xD
However, one event in the game that has been repeated several times surprised me quite a bit (I learned a new mechanic the hard way) and that is that you can clear everything around a house, but if at the moment of entering through a window an event is activated outside of this house you entered, you will be surrounded by at least 10 zombies that will enter the house from all sides to kill your character. That was what happened to me when I entered a house through the window and after not spending even three seconds in it I saw myself dead, the character only lived 18 days, but I learned that these random respaw events in the game can occur in both single player and multiplayer games.
This made me quite annoyed, but I learned a new game mechanic that I hadn't known about until that moment. On the other hand, my curiosity was quite strong and since I had only seen one city in the game, I wanted to try other places, see other houses and other landscapes, and I was honestly quite surprised by everything I could find. Although the diversity of landscapes isn't very varied, I must say that with the diversity of items, and house architecture as well as docks, I was quite surprised since there were things I hadn't seen with my 8-month-old character.
Testing mods
I wanted to go through the cities and see each one of them, but just like in the sims, the character has needs like eating, sleeping, a boredom system, weight control, thirst, etc. So I decided to install a mod that I always wanted to try since I started playing and it is the camper van mod, this adds different types of cars and gives access to the back. It also adds two types of camper vans but I really liked it (it took me several games for the one I wanted to appear).
This had a refrigerator and a tap that was filled with rain. In addition, it also had a bed so you could rest after those long trips. I really liked this new design because it provides the car you need for long trips and comfortable exploration throughout the city.
There is also another type that is similar, but less spacious, but is still quite comfortable for long trips and transporting necessary items, except that this one hooks up to the back of a car.
I was able to easily go from one end of the map to the other, reach hospitals and military checkpoints, and although the game gives you to understand that there are still survivors of this disaster, I still don't see any, it reminds me a lot of subnautica since the game gives you to understand that there are people still alive, but just when you get to the place where they should be alive, it turns out that it is the opposite and they have been dead for a more or less long time. Another thing that gives it a lot of realism are the different sounds of events that can be heard in a game, such as thunderstorms, snowstorms, SCREAMS OF PEOPLE, bombs, helicopters, firearms, and although all this serves to move the zombies and make the game more dynamic and realistic, IT DOES NOT STOP SCARYING and putting you in tension at many moments.

Hola gamers espero todos se encuentren muy bien, para los que no lo sepan aun sigo probando Project zomboid y es que este juego no deja de sorprender con todo lo que tiene, desde diferentes mecanicas con agricultura y carpintería, arreglo de autos etc, hasta diferentes mods de juego que se le pueden añadir para personalizar tu partida a tu gusto y es que decir que hay una forma correcta o incorrecta de jugarlo es estar equivocado ya que la experiencia y las misiones dependerán únicamente de ti y como enfrentar este fin del mundo.
anteriormente habia perdido un personaje con el que dure mas de 8 meses, esto hizo querer jugar otro tipo de partida (muerte permanente), si bien la muerte es permanente en este juego, la idea de jugarlo de este modo es que al momento de morir elimines tu partida para que asi todos los progresos que realizaste en este mundo (arreglos de base, construcciones, item recolectado), se pierdan, intente jugarlo de esta forma empezando con limpiar la ciudad de infectados haciendo un buen uso de un par de Molotov provocando que en toda la ciudad oliera a carne asada xD
Sin embargo, un evento del juego el cual se a repetido varias veces me sorprendió bastante (aprendí una nueva mecanica a las malas) y es que tu puedes limpiar todo lo que esta alrededor de una casa, pero si al momento de entrar por una ventana se activa un evento afuera de esta casa a la que entraste, te veras rodeado de al menos 10 zombie que entraran por todas partes a la casa a matar a tu personaje. Eso fue lo que me paso al entrar a una casa por la ventana y al no pasar ni tres segundos en ella me vi muerto, el personaje solo vivió 18 dias, pero aprendí que estos eventos de respaw aleatorios en el juego pueden ocurrir tanto en partidas de un jugador o multijugador.
Esto me hizo molestar bastante, pero aprendí una nueva mecanica del juego que hasta ese momento no sabía. Por otro lado, mi curiosidad fue bastante y como solo habia visto una ciudad del juego quise probar ver otros sitios conocer otras casas y otros paisajes, y la verdad me sorprendí mucho con todo lo que pude encontrar, aunque en diversidad de paisajes no es muy variado debo decir que con diversidad de items, y arquitectura de casa asi como muelles me quede bastante sorprendido ya que había cosas que no habia visto con mi personaje de 8 meses de vida.
Probando mods
Quería ir por las ciudades y ver cada una de ellas, pero asi como en los sims, el personaje tiene necesidades como comer, dormir, un sistema de aburrimiento, control de peso, sed, etc. Asi que decidí instalarle un mod que siempre quise probar desde que empece a jugar y es el de auto caravana, este añade diferentes tipos de autos y da acceso a la parte de atrás adicional añade dos tipos de autocaravana pero que la verdad me gustó mucho (tarde varias partidas en que me apareciera el que quería).
Este contaba con una nevera, y un grifo el cual se llena con lluvia, adicional a esto tambien se le añadía una cama para que pudieras descansar de esos largos viajes, la verdad me gusto bastante este nuevo diseño ya que proporciona ese auto que necesitas para largos viajes y exploración bastante cómoda por toda la ciudad.
Tambien hay otro tipo que es parecido, pero menos espacioso, aun asi resulta bastante comodo para viajes largos y transportar items necesarios, solo que este se engancha a la parte de atrás de un auto.
Pude ir fácilmente de un extremo del mapa a otro, llegar a hospitales y pasos de control militar, y aunque el juego te da a entender que todavia hay sobrevivientes de este desastre todavia no veo ninguno, me recuerda mucho a subnautica ya que el juego te da a entender que hay personas aun vivas, pero justo cuando llegas al sitio donde deberían estar vivo, resulta que es todo lo contrario y llevan muertos un tiempo mas o menos largo. Otra cosa que le da bastante realismo son los diferentes sonidos de eventos que se puede escuchar en una partida, como tormentas eléctricas, tormentas de nieve, GRITOS DE PERSONAS, bombas, helicópteros, armas de fuego, y aunque todo esto sirve para mover a los zombie y hacer el jeugo mas dinámico y realista NO DEJA DE ASUSTAR y ponerte en tensión en muchos momentos.
se parece al juego de los sims aunque no se porque atropellaste a la gente, se ven chistosos como han caido en el patio xd
Hahahahahaha it's a game similar to the sims only with zombies and the desire to survive
que satisfactorio ver como se queman los zombis
Hahaha, you can't imagine the joy it gives me to burn them... Until one gets lost and burns down a house... and another and another xD
I had fun trying out Project Zomboid. The mods and community surrounding the game make sharing every playthrough feel like a campfire story. Some of the story videos created by players are also well made and somewhat riveting as there is a tension felt in many of them, just like the game.
The camper van mod looks cool and does seem to cut down on a lot of the monotonous stuff. I can't wait to try their new update when it becomes a finished/final release but until then I've taken a break from playing.
Thank you for sharing your story! Seems like you were on a mission and you accomplished it.
I think I have a big advantage, and that's that I just bought it and I'm trying out every mechanic I can, and that makes me enjoy the game even more. Plus, it has quite a few mods, which adds a lot of diversity. Haha, there are two of us. I'm waiting for b42 to try out those new changes :) I get excited every time they release new updates.
