Ah, good old swarms of bullet-immune Hunting Horrors on Day 1.  I knew there was something this new version was missing.

[ChairmanPoo]

Confirmed: enemies that shouldn't spawn out of thin air do:

I enter a lab, enter a corridor. Empty. I close the door, go downstairs, then back there, and voila, a machinegun turret was waiting for me in the middle of the way.

[Aqizzar]

I think turrets are actually supposed to do that.  They pop out of the ceiling or something.  It's all the other stuff that gets a little irritating.

[ChairmanPoo]

I'm pretty sure it was a random spawn.

Besides, if that was so, it should have popped out the first time, not the second...

I've seen it happen with other stuff as well. In my previous game, a zombie pack with fast zombies, hulks, and shockers, spawned on top of me while walking through the wilderness.

[Flying Dice]

Well I'm happy, because I finally stopped getting random spawns of scores of bees/wasps.

There is a Windows version up here--many thanks to Aposos!

Sorry about the spawning issues.  I've been doing a lot of playtesting recently and haven't noticed anything strange.  If any code-minded people have insights about this, I'd love to hear it!

Pd: in a new game: I started the game inside a wasped house.

[forsaken1111]

I Was very sad that applying a lighter to a paper wall in a wasped house didn't cause a raging inferno of wasp death.

[ChairmanPoo]

I recall trying that with a flamethrower with some measure of success. I think it's just that lighters suck in general.

How does one make his custom preset characters again? I'm tired of reassigning the points by hand...

[forsaken1111]

I'll try again with a molotov at some point but one would expect that something described as a paper wall would go up in flames easily.

I'm noticing an interesting pattern with the spawning mechanics that wasn't there in older versions.
It seams to me that periods of furious action are alternating with periods of quiet, suspensive, lonely-survivor, empty streets parts. I like it very much, being every second followed by pack of zombies is full of adrenaline but after a while its just annoying and it looses its scare factor. The period of calm postapocalyptic scavenging let you settle down a little and makes the unavoidable upcoming frenetic part much more tense.
Not sure if it was intended, but its great.

Yeah, for the first time I though the game glitched and zombies didn't spawn at all so I just began wandering around like an idiot, of course I got mauled by an angry mob shortly after but it was worth it.

What I enjoy with this game is how you think it's all going so well and then no, no it's really not. (Like lightning burning down your hideout; can I smell smoke?)

Definitely intended.  It's a mechanic I'm still playing with, trying to get just right, but I like alternating the pace like that; forcing a period of intense fighting or running away, followed by a "reward" period where you can relax a little and collect items or whatever.

Some monster ran off with my katana

It was awesome while it lasted.
