Yeah, I dislike skellies and demons too. I've changed skellies to dogs and devils to mutants for myself.

I long for the day when I get the abilities to prey on my fellow survivors

Then that day was several weeks ago. Use grenades. They can kill survivors just fine.

Well, yes, true, but it'd be nice to just shoot them. Or bludgeon them with a hammer. Or engage in a fistfight to the death!!

Where can I download the latest version? The Megaupload one was deleted.

[Puck]

First post also has the link to the offical website, and the download links, at least to the no-installer versions (why one would want an installer is beyond me anyway...) work just fine... duh.

Excellent! I really should check up on my posts more often, I had no idea grenades could do this, as I never use grenades due to the fact that every time I have tried to use a grenade in this game has ended with my death either directly or otherwise

[mothra]

nice game.

I enjoyed hiding out in my boarded up house with all the food from the local store.leaving the other survivors to starve and be eaten.only to have a demon break down the door three days later and then running the zombie choked streets until I was caught and boxed in by zombies.

I just have a question. Can you make weapons yet? I saw an "improvised club" so I assume you may be able to.

[Deon]

Yaaay! Time for a mod .
