Hey Jim. How are you? I think you are doing a great job with ZE:SH and I loved AWUoT. So, my question is: Do you think that the game, ZE:SH, is going to be released this fall? I really can’t expect to play the full game. See you.
Asking authors for release dates, even in a roundabout way, is a big no no around here. Given the ambitious nature of this product however, I doubt it.

Sort of like the Mindy relationship. Her and the MC make a couple of sexual innuendos here and there to one another and only one directly meaning sex (which actually ends up with you puking on a zombie, not pretty.) a lot of the time they just spend time with one another doing chores, heading out to Temperance together etc. You can really see how much they support one another, like the way you can comfort Mindy during her episode after the raid or how concerned she is for you when you fall ill
I hope there’s more relationships like Mindy to come.

… I like Sexual innuendos between two characters… Who is Mindy? Oh wait is this a particular profession?
Mindy is a survivor from first ZE and a possible RO. She’s also in my top 3 favourite survivors 
just reject Heather and choose you’re developing feelings for Mindy when you’re in her room later on.
@Nathon_Faxon I actually preffered Heather in the first ZE xD not that mindy isnt a great romance option though, this new zombie exodus game is looking to be really awesome though, I love the debilitating stats you can choose. (Like having the kid and dog or glasses or dependencies)

I really didn’t like Heather’s romance, the way she was going at it when she brought it up was for her own wants and needs while the MC and Mindy became a couple through mutual attraction and a growing bond. She was quite selfish as well, only coming to you when it suited her half the time.
I shouldn’t be completely negative about her. After some time she grew sweeter, speaking up for you when you’re unjustified and she cared for your safety in her own sarcastic way. She just left a bad first impression on me romance-wise.

In the prologue in the email from Jaime I found this error.
“in closed sessions on May 8th, 2012”

Im just wondering if this game is still being worked on , saw the game on steam and bought it immediately which led me to play safehaven, love the game but dont wanna get my hopes up if it doesnt get updates.
Are you talking about “Zombie Exodus” or ZE: Safe Haven? Because this is the thread for the “sequel”. The original has been completed ages ago and I believe it’s only updated if spelling mistakes/bugs are found. If you are talking about Safe Haven though yeah it’s been worked on as can be seen here.
My past two weeks have been restructuring Safe Haven and adding new content.
- I have moved L&J’s introduction to chapter 2.
- I have moved Jaime’s high school rendezvous to chapter 4.
- I am extending the time between first zombie sighting (prologue) to all-out zombie blitz. I am also increasing exposure in the city, less in suburbs, far less in country settings.
- I am adding content specific to locations and professions/backgrounds.
- Introducing new, recurring NPCs.
I am planning to post the next update in early December.

@marvinaustin I have no idea anymore when I will publish ZE:SH. I want to take my time and make the game I really want to make. I have the luxury of still doing this as a hobby and don’t need to publish to make money or support myself. I’d rather wait until 2020 if needed.
My revised plan is to finish by the summer, 2016 and publish by October 31, 2016.

If this really happens then Halloween in 2016 will be one of the best ones (well, it’s my 5th halloween only - never celebrated it until the university, - but still 
). Btw, does Halloween have any significant meaning? Halloween, zombies… Sounds ideal! Are you planning to release it specifically on the 31st of October, just with possible changes in the year (2016-2020)?
Oh, and I still can’t understand how do you manage to deal with ALL the coding issues, considering how many backgrounds, stats and other stuff you have in the game! That’s simply awesome
You know what JimD I would rather you take your time, that way you don’t feel stressed because there will be less stress on you and it will be a better game since you have more time to fix an errors and add in anything you feel would like to add. The end result would be a better game and like I said less stress on you.

When I try and access the zombie exodus website and zombie exodus scenes, it comes up with this URL:http://teal.arvixe.com/cgi-sys/movingpage.cgi
However zombieexodus.com/ze2/web/mygame/index.html
Loads normally.
@Liudmila Actually I think when The Walking Dead airs a new season in October, it may help interest in the subject matter. Also Halloween puts people in the horror mood. I’d love to keep the yearly schedule and publish every year in October. Of course, CoG also has to manage submissions and put new games in rotation.
And yes, this is a crazy amount of coding and writing. Maybe too much but I like it.
@ParanoidTeen thanks for your support!
@Bugreporter I use a virtual host and they recently switched the server where my sites exist. I have emailed them. It’s becoming annoying to pay for something that has downtime when most hosts advertise 99% uptime.
@JimD
When I caught Lyle and Jillian looking through my gear in chapter 1, I asked my nephew if they had been stealing my items with a short fuse and found this spelling error.
“I understand you made need some things,” you say."
may need
@JimD
I found this spelling error under ‘Challenges’ and ‘Short Fuse’.
In a negative way
Dependent child needs ‘child’ to have a capital letter.
Also, will the weapon bugs be fixed in the next update?
When traveling in my BMW to rescue Jaime at the end of chapter 2 I found this spelling error.
a neighbour’s house?
@JimD
When ze:sh is finally completed will you add back in the option to chose dependent and pet gender?
I found this error at the end of chapter 2 just before going to rescue Jaime.
Both choices of whether to say goodbye or not to my nephew are present.
When having breakfast with Lyle and Jillian in chapter 2 I got this error.
“This looks great,” Lyle says and spoons a portion of eggs into unknown’s dish."
After leaving Lyle and Jillian during the attack by the bandits near the start of chapter 2 I found this spelling error.
Shouldn’t the highlighted sentence go after the paragraph?
Change the highlighted sentence to “With that in mind,”
I found this spelling error near the end of chapter 2, going to rescue Jaime. I chose “Kick Jillian out. I can’t leave her in my home alone.”
“We’re running out of supplies, and I can’t guarantee you’re safety.”
Your safety.
I found this spelling error in chapter 2 meeting Jaime after defeating Dillian.
“the rush of freezing air.”
@Bugreporter I have fixed all of the errors you reported in my local copies and will upload that version in my December update. Thanks again!
Unfortunately, no, they will remain fixed male. They are like NPCs with specific personalities, and gender flipping creates considerable problems to maintain personalities and coding consistency.
