“Gun that fires katanas”
Someone needs to make a mod on Skyrim out of that.

A gunsword.
That would be a nice legendary weapon/easter egg.
But how about this.
A gun that fires katanas and the katanas fire bullets.

I just got through playing the update once and so far I like the changes. It does seem like we got further in the game before this update and I was wondering if the school scene will still happen or will there be changes to that?
Also I read some suggestions for bonding with the group and I thought maybe we could have a chance later on to go to a place our partner (the person we’re dating) used to love going (park, mall or maybe even their old house or something) to bond with them. Also I think it’d be interesting if raiders had dogs that would make stealing from their camps or avoiding them more difficult.
Can’t wait for more if this. Keep up the good work!

Hey @JimD, it’s me again.
I’d like to start by saying that I loved the change of pace in this new update. The game even feels longer now that I can finally click on all the options. It felt too rushed when I first played. I hated when the game said it was 11PM, and I still had a dozen things to do. As a perfectionist, I HATE to be forced to leave options behind. Should I build my defenses or learn about the outbreak? Make friends or take care of myself? Scavenge or craft items? I felt that either the day was too short, or the protagonist was too slow/lazy =P
One moment I was home, doing anything from putting boards on the windows and watching the news to calling my neighbors and locking zombies in the basement. Then two guests showed up, and I had to stop whatever I was doing to interact with them. When I was starting to get to know them, one of them either dies or decide to part ways. I blink, and then I’m going out to save my friend from the same guys that tried (or succeeded) in killing that guy from earlier.
You had a lot of ideas for the game, but you threw them at the player all at the same time. When we started getting interested in one aspect (base building/social interactions/adventuring) you forced us to change to another. You seem to be on the right path with this last update, though.
Now, on to the errors…
-M16A2s are chambered for 5.56x45mm, not 7.62x??mm. If you want to give the protagonist a rifle in 7.62x51mm, then make it a M14EBR or a M110. Also, M16A2s have been largely replaced by the M16A4s (and they have been replaced by M4s themselves).
-M4s have one hell of a range by modern warfare standards (500m, 200m more than the average maximum distance between you and the enemy during a firefight), that’s why they’re the standard issue rifles of the modern infantryman. A real CQB rifle would be the Colt Commando. I’m not by any ways saying that you should change the M4 for the Commando, just take the close quarters part off the description.
-Also, Close Quarters Combat means physical confrontation. Close Quarters Battle, which means firefights in 2-digit ranges, is the term you were looking for.
-Staff Sergeants are NCOs, not COs, so the Military Commander wouldn’t be one.
-When I pick up the magazines in the armory, it says I insert one into my weapon, even if I didn’t pick a rifle beforehand. Also, it only gives me 2 magazines, because the ghost weapon takes one of them away.
-If the soldier changes into civilian clothes before going to bed, they have the option to change back into their uniform the next day. However, if you choose it, the game asks if you want to put street or hiking clothes, but offers no options for the military uniform.
-If you have one of the M4s or M16s from the armory, the games lets you pick the same rifle as both primary and secondary, even if you only have one of them.
-The game gives me options to drink and smoke, even if I didn’t choose the nicotine/alcohol addiction challenges. I realize this may be a feature instead of a bug, but I’m listing it anyway as I’m not sure.
-The cop still gets the Glock 17 as standard issue and the M16 rifle and M4 shotgun from Sarge, even though you said you’d change these weapons to the more common Glock 19/22, Car-15/M4 Carbine, and M1 shotgun.
-Judging from the inventory, the bank robber is still using slugs, even though you said you’d change it for buckshot.
-The game still keeps describing ammo as being in clips instead of magazines.
That’s all I can say for now. I’m really busy, but I’ll play it again later and report.

Now I wanna see the movie for 30th time.
@Portugas_D_Ace
It adds new scenes like the one were there’s a crowd outside of someone’s house, demanding to get his son killed 'cause they think he’s infected.
And some scenes dependant of your profession (I think?).
Plus, it changes when we meet the chick and the old dude (don’t remember their names XD).

Earlier on this topic, we had a conversation where we could vinyl records as a weapon with Jillian if the Safe Haven is overrun and we run out of ammo. I think if my memory serves me correctly, Jim said he will try to include a similar scene

@JimD I had an error when I played a teenager. During the scene you can choose to save the man from the zombies chasing him. I called him to my home and then killed the zombies when they caught up to him. I chose to mercy kill him (having stated that my female char was sickened by killing a zombie earlier).
During this, it states that my character just can’t bring herself to do it, so she turns away and walks inside, then my nephew acted like I had killed the man even though it says I didn’t.

I found this spelling error in chapter 2 when the zombie attacks your home.
I chose to shoot the Zombies from my home window.
Add a full stop before ‘as’.
Thanks for releasing the great update Jim, loving it so far! I think the changes in time line and events really enhances the story. I played through it rather hastily last night but when I’m home from work I’ll take more time to go through it so I can maybe give some better feedback+
Lets be honest here. We all just want to become a mad scientist that develops a pseudo cure that allows us to control everyone like in Diabolical lol.

@Luke thanks! I’ll fix that error.
@Exodus_Effect I believe you need to clear your browser’s cache or history. I loaded new variables which your browser isn’t detecting.
@Arcane_warrior you can create your own background through the custom option and I may add extra magazine options later.
@MichaelMaxwell I hope your niece was able to enjoy the update despite the errors. It looks like to clear your browser’s cache or history.
@hapamama93 Jaime will be moved to chapter 3 (by phone) and chapter 4 when he joins you (high school mission).
@Harley_Robin_Evans the old chapters are being revised, but they will be back in the next update in January.
@faewkless I’m having trouble recreating that error. Do you know the choices you made?
@Shoelip maybe I need to move that event to chapter 1.
I had a friend in high school by that name.
@Zsero yes, I am redesigning the other scenes but Lyle & Jillian will be in chapter 3, and the high school mission is moving to 4.
@Portugas_D_Ace lots of subtle changes, maybe 100 errors fixed, added more skill points, etc.

@StarshinaSokolov I ran out of time to make all of the changes but tried to fit in as many as possible. I will fix everything you listed and am glad you like the redesign. I spent considerable time on planning future content all affected by these changes.
@FoxalypticWorldthanks, I’ll fix that.

I was unable to recreate it sadly.
I have a question though.
Can that be an easter egg weapon thing.
You break into a military base or something and find a box labeled.
PROTOTYPE:GUNBLADE
or
PROTOTYPE:KATANA LAUNCHER.

I found an error in the Wrestler path:
Jaime has been your best friend since your first professional match,
when he worked as event security. An excited fan jumped a barricade and
ran at you from behind. Jaime tackled the startled attacker, and you
went on to win the match by submission. you crossed paths on vacation in
Las Vegas. The hotel messed up your reservations, and both of you were
booked to the same room. When Jaime found out you both grew up in
Nightfall, he invited you to dinner while the hotel fixed the
double-booking, and the two of you have been close friends since. The years of knowing him have strengthened your bond, so a chance to do him a favor seems only natural.
Exclude everything in bold.
Seen it last night just neede to clear my cache thank you very much keep it up
@JimD
I found these spelling errors in the prologue as a professional wrestler.
Add a full stop after match.
I found these spelling mistakes when I attended the wrestling match.
I chose “Rush toward the locker rooms, avoiding the dangerous figures.”
Delete the second full stop after ‘head’.

I found this error with a dog in chapter 1.
If you chose to feed the dog it says that you fill the bowl with the last of the pet food, but if you chose to have a meal it says that you fill the dog’s bowl with pet food.
But in chapter 2 it says that the food in the nearly empty pet food bag has gone off.
I found this error in chapter 2 when Dante was being chased by the Zombies.
I chose “Yell for the man to run in your house to escape the infected”. He was killed by the Zombies. I killed the Zombies and killed him, but it says that I wonder if I will see him again.
I found this spelling mistake in chapter 2, when the crowd is attacking the home with the man and possibly infected son.
I chose to ‘call the police’.
Sir needs to be capitalised.
