I thought it was vaguely western europe/everyland. Plus I bet you could totally find cowboy boots and hats even in new england.

Be fairly easy to make a fancy dress store complete with a dozen or so costumes, including an authentic cowboy gettup. Nothing says Fearsome Zombie Hunter than a ballerina tutu over a penguin costume.

Make a regular party/costume shop with plastic/vinyl costumes and snake-oil aphrodisiacs that stink so bad they act as zombie pheromone.

I really hope that gets into the next release.

Hey guys: is there cowboy getup in the new release? Dusters/hats/boots? There should be...

The original game is set in the New England states. Not much call for cowboys.

Except for lobster cowboys. In post-apocalyptic New England, the vacant strip malls and coastal tourist traps will be home to the fabled lobsterados, those grizzled and lonely free spirits whose only companions are the ten foot long crustaceans they have painstakingly separated from the roaming lobster-herds to serve as their trusty mounts. Of course, most of the lobsterados are missing a limb or two, or at the very least several digits, but that doesn't mean they should be underestimated.
Well, I know what I'm working on once we have NPCs functioning.

As soon as giant mutated lobsters are implemented, mounts need to be implemented.

Replace the virtual difficulty with real difficulty, too.

Could you elaborate on the distinction between real and virtual difficulty?

   An example of real vs virtual from the platforming genre is the difference between a level that is hard because it takes good reflexes and one where its hard because of blind leaps of faith where you basically have to memorize the level to actually do it. In the first one you could techincally if your good enough do it on the first try while in the second unless you guess really lucky you are going to be doing it again both increasing play time and perceived difficulty though in a manner thats not actually fair. Its like how some games have scripted battles where you have to lose, does that really count as a loss because technically it was but it too was artificial. I don't see how this applies here but then again I know the game well enough so its like someone that memorized a jumping puzzle saying its not hard all. If DrPoo would elaborate it would be nice.

Artificial Difficulty: You are presented with an array of unlabeled buttons. One of them opens the door to freedom. The other 99 kill you. Your victory is reliant on random chance, and trying all 100 buttons.

Real Difficulty: You are presented with the same array of buttons but now labeled in a cryptic manner. By assembling clues from the complex around you, you can piece together the code that the buttons are labeled in. Your victory is reliant on patience and skill in deciphering the code.
