So a megastore is 1 tile and multi floors up?  We finally got functional tall buildings?  How are they in terms of zombie defense, and does this finally mean I can stand on the roof of a gas station mildly drunk and shooting my rifle into a horde of zombies?!

No, a megastore is one floor and multiple tiles.  Like a Wal-Mart generally is.

Heya, a few random questions:

1) Is there a way to tell how much noise different things make (guns, shoes, etc)

2) Is running into more powerful enemies luck of the draw or do they start to spawn when you get more skills/items/etc?

1) Not directly, no.  I should figure out a way to put that into the interface nicely.  The ultra-specifics don't matter too much, though.

2) The longer you are in the game, the harder enemies are.  At the start you'll see only normal zombies, then boomers and skeletons, then fast zombies and spitters and zappers, then brutes, then hulks...

Megastores are multi-story, they are VERY MEGA

I'm so confused...

Heh, mis-typed.  Sorry.  Meant "multi-tile."

It's really cool that we are getting more multi-storey buildings! Here's hoping for hospitals and other multitier thingies.

How do they look on the minmap?

*can't wait for window port*

They're a bunch of blue 'M's. And they certainly do have plenty of zombies in them, that's for sure.

For hospitals I'd like to have multiple stories working before I put them in.  Fortunately, I already have some ideas about how to tackle the myriad of problems that would present.

Kludge it?

[Seriyu]

Man, I'm still not having much luck. Never got a shelter built. How much noise does melee combat with a combat knife make? I seem to be attracting a lot of zombies even with just knives.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Zombies tend to turn up in hordes, then there'll be a lull in activity for a short while.

[Seriyu]

Ahhhh, I see. And I assume running away from zombies is putting off the problem, not solving it?

IE they won't despawn and I'll have to deal with them later?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Running from a horde is a viable strategy, once the small horde spawns, there'll be a lull anyway, so running away leaves you a bit more free to loot after you escape.

[Whales]

Shooting a gun, on the other hand, will waste some or all of the lull.

[Girlinhat]

Zombies do despawn if you run far enough (5 blocks for greens?) and they do tend to come in waves rather than trickles.

I personally don't understand how high buildings are difficult.  It seems like it would be the same as underground buildings, just shifted up?  That doesn't let you see down to the road below very easily, but it's a measure of success...

How would you handle falling out windows? Mob spawning? Being able to look down and see the fact that the ground has become a void of nothingness?
