Garden City is finally making its long overdue return, even though the interiors aren't ready yet. I'm very happy with how far the game has come in the last few months, and the real map finally getting back in is going to help push the game forward much faster.

Over the next few weeks and months, the game will begin getting a large amount of content updates to add more items, buildables, weapons, guns, gun attachments, vendors, and more. I know I say this a lot, but we really are just getting started!

Additions

• Garden City is back! (Full building interiors, military base, and bunkers still in progress, eta ~3 weeks)

• Added Trust system for sharing your base with friends

• Added friends on world map if added as Trusted

• Added respawn point buildable (Sleeping Bag - 1 minute cooldown)

• 10 actual zombie models, more coming for sure

• Steam Cloud Save has been enabled - this has caused issues in the past, so keeping an eye on it right now

Changes

• Many performance improvements, especially with memory management

• Changes to build part collision detection

• Changes to enable building foundations in most locations as long as they have landscape support (standard ground, roads, sidewalks, etc...)

• Adjusted spawn rates for lootable containers

• Adjustments to saving code in attempt to prevent corruption

• Player character capsule collision size has been increased (you may no longer fit in some areas you could before)

• Changed the player icon for the map to be easier to tell which direction you're facing

• Replaced the Ping section in the server browser with Map, since ping doesn't seem to work anyway

• Significantly reduced the built in flashlight brightness to not blind you when bouncing off of weapons
