Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven: Part Three Discussion Thread

[JimD]

@Bikkje

I think part of what makes Lopez threesome

In my next version, Lopez will be so forward. As I looked at the code and fixed it, I was reminded that people felt in Part 2 that it was actually too hard to reach the intimate scenes, so I must have made it very easy to reach them. Obviously this worked the opposite way this time. It’s really an issue of balance.

@Jender

I am a (female) actor. Actor is the correct term.

Thanks for confirming!

@scorpion_201

Is there not a scene with Rosie when your going to sleep in chapter 8?

When I wrote all of those scenes with every other RO, I did not expect Rosie to be among that group so quickly in Part 3. In my new version, she will be included.

@Snowflower

On an unrelated note, I wonder if it could be possible for high Medical/medical professional MCs to give the museum prisoners (Paul, Darlene, Jude) first aid during the initial rescue.

I don’t think there is enough time in the moment, but I can certainly give you a medicine check to ascertain their injuries.

@Lover_Elliot

any Idea how to make rachel the leader?

Part 3 does not have any part where you can change leaders. I am thinking of adding a new opportunity to vote for leadership.

@AdvWall

Will Ray be a future RO in later releases

Ray will not be an actual RO but there is at least one intimate scene with Ray.

@Dpwjeremy

I am not sure if it has been mentioned.

I am working on this issue, but I appreciate you giving me more details.

@Shiro_XKuro

I think I said it in a way that easily misunderstood so I will clarify it.

I think I understand now. Thank you.

@Tess

is Rachel only supposed to have a chance to win if some survivors are missing?

That’s basically how it is so far. I am thinking of changing with a new vote option in Part 3.

@0roxson0

Training hand to hand combat to your group in part 3 as one of your tasks brings you to the same training scene in part 2 instead of the newly made one in part 3.

After the part 3 tasks it uses the calculations of part 2 to count the number of survivors instead of the newly made calculations from part 3.

The calculation of group offense and group defense after doing the part 3 tasks also uses the calculation from part 2 instead of the new one from part 3.

Thanks for pointing this out.

@mashimaru_161

I can’t understand what thelma saying here

I can’t figure it out either and I wrote it. I will fix this.

@Gatto_Jiji

Worth the wait !

Thanks, and I will look into this!

@MIGSey

Psst, Jim. Would you consider making a Survivor HG ?

I would definitely consider making one, but most of my readers are used to survival horror. I feel like it would almost be a whole new genre for me, and it would be hard to start over at this stage. Especially when I have so many ideas for more games within my genre. Like, if I can make a game based on the Purge series, I would totally do that.

@TheTal

So far so good, but after Lancelot mission when you can talk with your group members to pass luxury gifts to raise rel, talking with Bailey she admitted having hots for MC while being with Brody already. Imagine my surprise when she would like to be with both MC and him. So, @JimD, am I reading into it too much or is there possible poly for teens MCs with Brody-Bailey combo? On a sidenote, how many poly options are there? There’s Jillian-Gina and Jaime-Lopez for sure.

I am trying to set up poly relationships. It’s really hard to code, and I really like very detailed romantic relationships. I’m working on it slowly.

@Krayola1234

Also big glitch, if you’re in the car with kelly and get bit on the trip to the gas station in chapter 2, it skips ahead too chapter 3 and acts like nothing happened lol

Thanks, I will fix it.

@Zeom

Well and truly annoyed about the whole teenager MC and Rachel deal, I mean, I knew she was faking it, she’s not a very good actress, but I was expecting to get her in the end.

You still may have the opportunity in the future. The problem with that now is that continuing the relationship makes it seem like Rachel is grooming you. That’s not something I want to do in this game. It’s a tough one, because I know it upsets some people that she entered a relationship with a teenager and then it ends abruptly.

@Starwolf

So I’ve had time to play through a little more thoroughly and here is what my thoughts are.

Thank you for summarizing.

@Starwolf

Infirmary being “built” yet not built.

Is this in the new version, because I thought it was fixed?

@Starwolf

Assigning Second in Command being nulled to vacant after a trip to Museum, when the prior post was filled.

Again, this should be fixed in the newest version.

@silvereagle

Anybody know when a patch for android is going to be released? These glitches and bugs are getting rather annoying!

I should be putting one in tomorrow and then one more next week.

@ParrotWatcher

I just thought of another possible issue with the way the “jealousy” scenes play out: if your roommate is your secondary RO, they will happily leave to allow you to have sex with your main RO, but will still act surprised and jealous about it a few days later. Would it make more sense for the secondary RO’s sex scene to have precedence if the secondary RO is also the MC’s roommate?

I think this is a great way to handle it. I just have to write their scenes, and they would be very specific. As you noted I above, some people are okay with poly relationships while others are not.

[Krayola1234]

Whats the biggest harem one can get in this game? I wanna try and grab as many npcs as possible as a chad movie star lmao

[silvereagle]

Thank you @JimD for your reply. I left some messages on the google play review site also that may assist you sir. Thank you!

[Snowflower]

This isn’t the sort of game where one can build a harem (and by “harem”, I assume you don’t mean “(historical) women’s living quarters”). All of the romanceable NPCs will have thoughts about you trying to get with others while you are in a relationship, and all of them will voice those thoughts. While some of them are definitely more okay with it than others (and some of them will be angry enough over it to leave the group), only about 3 of the ROs will actually be “enthusiastic” instead of “grudgingly tolerant”.

[Scelous]

I mean, grudgingly tolerant gets the job done. Historically, there were real concubines who were grudgingly tolerant. I’m just saying.

[Scelous]

I was disappointed we didn’t see anymore of that group that is next to the junkyard, across the lake (can’t remember their name). Also was disappointed we didn’t see the guy and his sister from the gas station, despite going to the Silverthorne camp. With only one or two more parts, I’m not sure how much screen time they’ll actually get (if any, maybe they’re dead?). I personally don’t like a lot of the NPCs we’re stuck with – the crazies from the school, Woody the stoner, Jillian the trashy manipulator, Kelly the airhead, etc. I honestly would kill most of them if given the chance, especially Reilly. I want to be rid of him ASAP (I was actually looking for any “accidents” I could cause him to have). Mind you, that isn’t a criticism; I think they’re well written and they all seem like distinct and fleshed out human beings. I just personally don’t like them; a personality clash with me. I liked the people from the train yard and the two from the gas station much more, and would rather be in a group with those people. So I was disappointed that none of those could join us. Only Jude, who’s another crazy – no thanks. Just wanted to share my thoughts on that.

[Starwolf]

Not wrong, though I feel like those who aren’t into Poly, example Rachel, memory serves that if you are honest with her she is surprised the honesty yet simply makes it clear that she is a one-partner type of gal, but by no means does she shut us down, simply says that we can talk about it later, so there is potential.

Though I will say, it would be intriguing, if not comical depending on romances, that if we have the computer lab and we just so happen to have another lovely session with a certain hacker, the romances pops in.

Rachel? Either 50% annoyed and balks at us, or 50% raises an eyebrow and decides to join in to help with the stress release, teasing and all, and then having a very long talk about us being irresponsible… totally see that.
Jillian/Gina? Totally down, no worries there.
Others? 50/50.

[ParrotWatcher]

@Scelous

Also was disappointed we didn’t see the guy and his sister from the gas station, despite going to the Silverthorne camp.

I don’t know what Jim has planned for the future (except probably more zombies ), but you can actually meet Sharif at the Silverthorne camp. He won’t be there if you warned him about it.

@Scelous

Woody the stoner

Actually, Woody doesn’t smoke marijuana if you grow it. The main users are Bailey and Driver.

[Scelous]

@ParrotWatcher

you can actually meet Sharif at the Silverthorne camp. He won’t be there if you warned him about it.

Oh, I didn’t know that! Very cool! I always warned Sharif, so that’s why I never saw him. Thanks for letting me know about that.

@ParrotWatcher

Woody doesn’t smoke marijuana if you grow it.

Yeah, I never had confirmation that he smoked marijuana. I just meant he had the stoner-type personality. “Let’s just relax, mannnn. Just be chill, man.” It made me write him off immediately. At least he’s good at building, so he has some use.

[122B]

I wouldn’t say he’s lazy or complacent, he’s actually quite proactive if you ask him about his plan for survival. He also tries things, which I think is cool, like he isn’t necessarily good with electronics, but he tries tinkering anyway. He gives off a hippyish vibe though, so I sort of understand why you’d write him off haha.

[shaee]

I wonder how Jim will set the poly romance but knowing the author he never disappoints. It will also be great to see Jim create a post-apocalyptic survival game I know there’s a lot of cog games with the same genre and they’re all great like Highway wars, After the storm, and Doomsday on demand but with how good ZE is, it really makes you think how will he do that.

[agathaa]

i wanna know what the intimate scene is with ray

[The_Division]

@JimD

During the confrontation with Murphy:

He only makes a slight gagging sound until his face turns bluem then purple.

*blue

After butchering the Graves, I noticed that we seem have an okay relationship with them:

Graves Family: 50

Coming back from the facility, I met Sean who was actually my neighbour in this playthrough:

*if sean_introduced
  *set target 3
  Sean, your former neighbor in Chipper Ridge.

That’s when you do a double take and realize it’s Sean, your former neighbor in Chipper Ridge.

“Well damn, who let this girl in? Get over here and shake my hand,” he says to you with a huge smile. Before you can resist, he grabs your hand and shakes it like a politician in front of a reporter.

But then, a little after getting introduced to Fred and Billie, Sean forgets who I am:

The pale-skinned guy with the cigarette blows smoke out of his mouth and walks up to you. “How’s it going—I’m Sean. We were just talking about where we’re all staying.” He puts out his cigarette on his shoe and flicks it into a pile of trash. “They told me Eli runs this place, but you’re the leader of the group. So how does that work? Because Eli said we’re welcome to stay, so I’m not sure why I’ve got to run it by anyone else.”

Looks like it should be *if not(sean_introduced) to avoid the double introduction if you started in Chipper Ridge:

@{sean_introduced The pale-skinned guy with the cigarette blows smoke out of his mouth and walks up to you. "How's it going—I'm Sean.

[Lifeloser]

Something i wanted to ask Jim directly was the reason we keep seeing people we knew and not more strangers, i understand we see more new faces then old, but to think all three of our possible survivors survived, thelma from the mall/store, the markovs and so many others, in a apocalypse situation i think itd be beyond rare to even see one person you know before the shit went down, let alone all these familar faces popping up, maybe its the mc magic, just thought it was odd

[Lifeloser]

Totally agree with you here, Jillian and Gina having a little family with the mc and nephew would be beyond sweet, i feel like the opportunity is there, its just up to Jim whether he thinks its a good idea for his vision for the games, or if he can tackle the subject matter, ie. Maybe jillian doesnt want a kid, but gina does or the amount of scene writing that would have to be done, with a baby, a nephew, Jillian and Gina all coming together in new interactions. I suppose itll be his choice, doesnt mean we cant influence him a little with our support ahaha

[silvereagle]

One thing I would really like to see is the main camp tasks in all 3 parts with the (does not count for your 1 of 4 tasks) options

[Uyen_Le]

Here are some stuff i’ve found so far. Overall i really love part 3 with all the characters interactions, story and choices tho it hurt like hell with jaime as a leader when he chose to leave missy behind i hope we can still get her and her family somehow

Summary

I think this error still hasn’t been fixed yet since this is supposed to refer to either tommy/lopez or jaime/lopez

I didn’t bring rosie with me to the silverthornes

Fred was my neighbour in this playthrough i also try another one with billie as my neighbour and this still occurred

This happened when i was romancing julianne and had to pick not interested in anyone which i found a bit odd btw i think you should add julianne as an option when choosing love interest even if she’s a long distance one

Also in chapter 8 i noticed that resting for an hour didn’t reduce fatigue at all

[Starwolf]

I can imagine the MC, pulling a John Crichton moment, with Jillian, Gina, Nephew if there, shouting out to the world ‘We are going to have a Baby!’, arms up in the air and celebrating. All while others in the camp are just looking like what the hell is he shouting about?, and of course Rachel is lip reading and tells Jamie that we are having a kid.

That said, I would be well wholesome and I do think it would fit well in the game to have it as a possibility. To have an up-and-coming family grouping, working together to survive and all. And sure, I think some in the group (Rachel at least from the start would be against it and want to chastise us but grow into supporting Jillian/us) would take the news with surprise and some celebration. Great for morale surely.

[Symphony]

Is Zombie Joe worth keeping around? Does he reappear in Part 3 if he is not killed in Part 2?

[Oviit]

I noticed that even though all my dlcs show activated there’s still a bug in the character building part which the attributes points bonus didn’t work when I finished adjust my points and move forward to the next step I checked the stats and every each attributes points lower 5 than before can you check that?that would be nice(actually I found that problem on my fourth time play through lol
