7 Days to Die

[Tampa_Gamer]

Just a quick update. Based on a last minute developer meeting this morning, it is now expected to be posted around 4:30 EST today. They also added the early release notes to their website here (too long to post even in a spoiler).

Huh, there's a thread for this game? Still? Well, for those who care , the game is leaving early access. From PC Gamer:

Which one is 7 Days to Die again? It's the zombie survival game where every seven days a rampaging horde arrives to mess up everything you've made? Sounds like Brisbane on the weekend.

I remember hearing 7 Days to Die is one of the good ones actually, but since it came out at the peak of my period of "being a bit sick of all these zombie games, especially the early access ones" I never gave it a look-in. "I'll wait until it leaves early access, then I'll check it out," I thought. And then I didn't think about it again until now, when developers The Fun Pimps announced 7 Days to Die really is about to hit 1.0.

They won't be moving on to another project, however, saying, "The Fun Pimps have and will continue to support 7 Days to Die development with a majority of their resources."

While version 1.0 will launch with a new zombie gore system, remade vehicle assets, a new challenge system, more zombie variance, updated controller support, and more, a few things are being planned for future updates. Intriguing notes on the roadmap mention a wardrobe system, bandits, and a story mode, as well as Steam Workshop support.

When it leaves early access, which is currently scheduled for June, the price will go up from $US36 to $45. It's having a last chance sale on Steam before then, and will be discounted from April 22 to April 29.

7 Days to Die feels like one of the last of the long-development early access hits to announce 1.0 that is realistically likely to. What's next, Project Zomboid? Star Citizen?

I'm surprised I never posted about it. I put in around 160 hours last year, and have been wanting to revisit it after the last couple of updates. Now I am thinking that I may wait until the 1.0.

It's a great game, by the way.

Guess Ill buy it Monday at 76% off.

Be warned - it's a sometimes tough, sometimes temperamental game. If you play without a plan, you'll die. Likely in 7 days. Or 7 days after that.

[Daehawk]

Figured Id die a lot.

Currently on sale for $6 on Steam, $5 on Green Man.
