There are already radio stations, so radio towers are more than logical.

Pretty sure there are already radio towers, I don't think they go up at all, though.

Lack of upwards Z-levels at present, so they don't go up.

Wasn't sure if things could have up stairs and transport you to a separate map like basements/sewers. Never gone into an office tower or paid much attention at all to the radio towers.

Z-levels will be a hell of a lot of fun once they're in. Really hoping for some climbing equipment/mutations.

Wings always struck me as superfluous without the ability to actually fly, or at least glide.

Penguin wings that make your dexerity drop but provides a benefit to swimming?

I would totally play this if you could become an orca.

Hell, let's downscale it to playing it if the kickstarter succeeds.

Actually, let's downscale again to possibly playing it if the kickstarter succeeds. If I remember to.

I can imagine the following situation happening once everything is in place.
Setting: Top floor of an office tower, you are surrounded by regular zombies and a hulk is adjacent to you. You are backed against a window prepared to make your last stand.
You: Come at me! *you activate a Mininuke and drop it at your feet*
The hulk lunges at you and grabs hold. Proceeds to throw you through the window
As you fly through the air, surely to your death, you come to peace with the situation knowing that the mininuke will vaporize the horde.
You fly across the street and crash through the window of a pillow factory, landing safely in the "Pile-o-Pillow" department
You have survived! You have some cuts and bruises from crashing through a few windows and some wounds from dealing with zombies, but you have survived.
You hear a tremendous BOOOOOOOOOOM
You race to the door of the factory and look out. The office tower is looking a little shorter than it was earlier, and has a lot of fire coming from it.
You walk back to the pile of pillows and fall asleep...

It would certainly be cool to see this, at least for me. Would the uncontrolled flying through the air be turn based or played like an animation sequence, since you won't necessarily be able to do anything during flight. I'd probably vote for the turn based with only non-movement actions being allowed (assuming consciousness) so you can maybe drop grenades or fire some weapons down on targets mid flight. I can also see it as a turn-by-turn animation.

Thoughts? Opinions? Come at me! :D

Digging's a lot like surgery, see -- you grab the sharp thing and then drive the sharp end of the sharp thing in as hard as you can and then stuff goes flying and then stuff falls out and then there's a big hole and you're done. I kinda wish there was more screaming, but rocks don't hurt so I guess it can't be helped.

Well, if wings and flying/gliding become a thing I'd like to be able to at least try to control the landing a bit. Or maybe even use a gliding suit or something of the sort. For that to be able to happen it'd probably have to go turn-by-turn.

Thermals would be a must since then you could nuke places to gain altitude.

That would be the best way ever to fly! "Oh no! Zombies at the landing site, need to get higher!" *activates and throws mininuke to landing site* "Ah, that should work nicely." *turns pass. massive explosion, right before you'd be caught in it, vaporizes the zombies and produces a massive thermal updraft* "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Congrats on funding (due to you know what, I promised earlier to fill the last $500 if it didn't have it by the last day, though its looking pretty safe right now).
