Today's game is Project Zomboid. Me and My friends have been playing almost daily on our multiplayer save. The additions made in B42 have been awesome for the immersion in this game. My favorite things right now are the animals. They help make the world feel more alive which i love. I especially like the chickens. It makes me feel like i'm rebuilding something which is something Build 41 felt like it was lacking.
I also went out and found a Step Van to help make gathering logs so so much easier, it can hold 140 in the back so it makes hauling them across the highway easier. Because of that i was able to finish the wall today, and then i also went ahead and dragged home some bricks. My hope is to eventually upgrade the wall to a brick wall so it will last longer. I (assume) a brick wall has more durability than a Wood wall so here's to hoping.
Anyways, our group "Chef" was out today, so Jerry had to fill in and make dinner. I accidentally burnt the Omelette, but that's okay because we had extras. I tried to make a salad and split it into bowls but i guess you can't do that yet, so instead we all just ate a 1/4 and passed it around.
I also wanted to share something extra I made for fun that's relevant. I tried to recreate one of my screenshots (with a little more personality too) in Blender with the Project Zomboid Community rig. I'm sure someone with way more Blender knowledge than me can point out everything i've done wrong, but for having literally no blender knowledge besides like half the Donut Tutorial, i think it turned out well.
It was a lot of work. I was up until 6 AM yesterday trying to figure out how to convert the 2D sprites into a 3D model. It was pretty simple in retrospect but I’m really proud of the work I got done.
One of the criticisms of myself I have though is the materials. That’s actually an area I have experience with from doing game development and I feel like I should have made the textures less shiny. It made them a little too plasticky for my taste
