Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven -- set for release 10/28/16

I usually avoid those options like the plague just in case but is it possible to change your mind about killing people? It seems like it’d make sense for there to be that option considering it’s an apocalypse scenario and everything. You know. People are pushed to the edge of sanity and there’s no Buffy to save us. It makes sense that people would do things they don’t actually want to do then change their mind before they actually get right down to it.

I killed Lyle and Jillian 'cause I found Jillian checking my backpack, so I kicked 'em out. I opened the door so they can live peacefully then Lyle drew his sword-cane and Johnny attcked Jillian so she shoved him back.

So, since they were robbing me, I decided to attack them with my crossbow. They backed off and I decided to kill them. I don’t want them to come back and rob me again.

And, in hindsight, I suppose I could use their gear.

On facebook you said that the app will contain 3 parts and 12 chapters, but a while back you said the app should have 18 chapters.
Will it now contain 12 chapters or 18?

Hmmm I wonder if there will be a Easter egg from the first zombie Exodus?

@NJG thanks for pointing out those errors.

@Shoelip

These options exist but not always once you start the path, For example, when you meet Sifer, you can choose “Talk to her but wait for an opening to attack. She has nice gear to take.” You do not have to follow through with the attack but have the option later.

@Bugreporter

When I posted about 6 chapters in Part 1. I thought I’d wait to submit to Hosted Games until the end of 2016. Now I think it makes sense to finish the Prologue and 4 chapters by the end of the summer. Without chapter 4 and the meta code, Safe Haven is already over 400.000 words.

So my plan is to have 4-5 chapters per Part. I already have 18 chapters planned, but I seem to be adding more as I go along. I see no reason to end Safe Haven unless I get tired of it or people stop wanting it after 18 chapters (or earlier).

What’s the meta code?
Have you made any progress on the bugs/spelling errors in ZE1?

The meta code is all the files that support the game but aren’t read like the stats page, selecting weapons, checking if a gun has ammo, etc. It’s all needed but not content per se.

I should be sending ZE1 files to Hosted Games in about a week :slight_smile: Thanks again!

Someone probably already mentioned this but I was wondering. When we choose gardening as a hobby will that enable us to save seeds from things we eat ? (Fruits and vegetables) also will we get the chance to have a compost pile so we can fertilize our plants?

Not directly connected, but kind of similar to my previous comment. I noticed that when talking tot he soldiers you can’t end the conversation until they decide to leave unless you try to kill them. Dunno if it’s more trouble than it’s worth but it seems like it’d make sense to have the option to cancel it earlier.

@JimD *playing a older update so sorry if these corrections have since been corrected. "Some professionals prepare people for handling the harsh life " when reading the profession magazine at the start, profession is used in all other instances, so think it’s a mistake. "He tilts his head back and opens his wide where sit " playing as a teenager and chose to run from the party, missed the word mouth. (forgot to copy and paste but remember what it said) “on second though” Is the last option, after choosing to set up further reinforcements, *though. “You peek outside and spot someone across the main road eying your house” same playthrough, playing as a teen with delusions, *eyeing not sure if that’s a spelling mistake, and google was unsure too :p. "dial. On the first ring, a message tells you the line line has " after choosing to phone your parents. "open your laptop The Internet still run without a delay, " *runs after checking online for updates.
Hmmm didn’t add any additional points to electronics yet have the option to hack into government sites…Seems unrealistic that any teenager could do this. after choosing my priorities “You light up a cigarette to help start the day” thought I just smoked one at start of chpt2, honestly can’t remember even though just read previous page lol, will edit this post after replaying with nicotine addiction. "You hear the unmistakable noise of the garbage truck pass your house. You doubt the sanitation department is still servicing the area, so why is it driving through your neighborhood?

" heard it about the same time I saw trench coat man shine the mirror at me too, somaybe wonder it then?

"Having settled on the motorcycle, you use your tools to hotwire the vehicle. Unfortunately you did some damage to the steering column, " hmm first time that’s happened and nvver add stats to electronics or driving, so out of curiosity, which stat-electronics or driving determines if you do damage or not? "You drive the car " and just got that. "“Nightfall City and the surroundings areas, home” *Surrounding, also this was the 2nd time on 2nd day I checked the tv, but checked it straight after checking it the 1st time, when it ended saying the tv turned to static on all channels, and you’d check later on. “Take my mind off the outbreak by Playing guitar” after choosing my hobbies on day 2. hmm is 1pm day 2 after playing guitar for an hour, but sure it was either that or 12:45pm before I chose that option. “close your eyes, and let your steady your breathing” after choosing to meditate on day 2. “with dark brass. Potted gardenia tree” after choosing to enter the 3 story house *trees

oh yeah had an idea whilst playing through, could we aquire challenges? as in the wording stays the same, but if you didn’t pick any challenges but say drink alcohol/smoke a cigarette so many times you get addicted, or you can adopt a pet/child or if certain stats drop too low you aquire the delusions challenge, or you could choose to become a vegetarian.

"In the bathroom, you find a a bottle of antibiotics, " whilst searching the 2nd floor of the 3 story house. "“You two two don’t look like you live 'round here?” "doors open and from it steps a man and a women, "during the couple and minivan bit. “Dee folds her arms over her chest and nods as he speaks. When he finishes, she steps closer to him” forgot to copy and paste it but on day 2 after inviting Lyle and Jillian in and then choosing to talk to them, at the end it says something like, with that over with you choose how to spend the rest of your first evening of the apocalypse, but it’s day 2. “He places his revolved back in its holster” in the scene with the white haired sheriff and the female truck driver, still day 2. "cone a few feet near it. Wit that, the " "all is done, you fell better " after healing my wounds iith the first aid kit, on day 2/3 after visiting the boarded up house.
Also visited the boarded up house at like 11pm and didn’t get back until 14:15, seems lik a long time, but also rest for the evening is still an option. same playthrough since I rested for the evening on day 3, as my looting took me overnight still counted it as I went to bed on day 2. think that day debarkle messed up a few things as was able to aquire a 2nd motorcycle, but the game acted as if this was the first time I chose this option. also woody/moses came at 8am jame said he’s come in the afternoon, not sure if this is to do with the time getting messed up or not though.

"Withdrawing: 0.
New balance: 0.

As you step " chose to draw maximum amount out of the atm outside thelmas and had £356 or so in. "With the way clear, you stride drive down the " after shopping at Thelma’s, was walking and rest of scene plays out as such. ok said I thought it was earlier update but after finishing this playthrough, think it is newest one as 1. can take the soldier’s uniform and love the new ending! :smiley: haven’t seen anyone else mention it, but had options left, but said it was the end of the beta, so no more line errors :smiley: although ended for me at 9:45 am which weemed weird, but as I said my time messed up I think, and I’mnot sure what triggers the end message, but the time would make sense if it was connected to choices.

I’m not sure if this a bug, but in here:

Why can’t I take the generator?

Also, in the scientist prologue, when Ben gets bitten by Enoch, could the MC choose to make sure Ben dies? I imagine a scientist with short fuse would do that to Ben.

Edit: I found a typo:

Having knowledge of glaucoma, you figure this a perfect way to force out the lie. “I actually know quite a bit about glaucoma. Did they consider trying any eye drops or laser treatment*.* It’s extremely rare that it progresses so rapidly that no treatments are attempted.”

The period surrounded by the asterisk should be a question mark.

Edit #2: I found a bug, when I went to Thelma’s connivence store, I didn’t bring [dependent] along but the bouncer let me through (he acted like [dependent] was present), and Thelma gave me a 5% discount because [dependent] was present.

Yes, and you will receive a significant bonus when growing food later in the game. Yes to composting too.

@Shoelip

I can add an earlier option. Good idea.

@Bruno_Frank_Hill thanks for all of that feedback. It’s a lot to go through so thanks for taking the time to test and report.

@NJG it looks like the code for portable generator is broken. I’ll fix it and those other errors. Thanks!

Not sure if this has been posted before, but As a teenager, I didn’t get the camping pop up. I can’t quite remember what I did though

@JimD

After Woody tells you the title of his thesis the rest of the paragraph is in italics as well. Looks like the tags are messed up.
