Unless, for any reason, War Z runs on Source. My computer loving loves Source. I can run TF2 at a steady frame rate.

Ocotber 15th - Release notes

    It's sunny day here in Los Angeles, but we're still in the office crunching to get game out by tomorrow.

    Today we're setting up serviers, uploading game files to CDN and prepping us and our pet zombies for Survivors invasion that will happen on October 15th afternoon Pacific standard time here in United States. For our overseas players - PST time zone is -8 hours to GMT.

    Do we expect bugs - YES we do. We're like 99% sure that game will be broken by our players on day one , and we're like 60% sure that we'll have some server issues

    For that I personally appologies to you, if your first day experience will be lets say not as fun as you've expected. Lets assure we'll be there to fix it ASAP.


    I'll keep you updated on status of game deployment thought today and tomorrow.


    Here's our Alpha roadmap :

    - Map -we're starting with around 30% of the map available on October 15th, and will unlock more areas up to full map unlocked few days before October 31st.
    - We'll start with 30 players per map and will be gradually increase number of slots on daily basis ( as we unlock more space on map ) up to 70-100 per server.
    - Marketplace will be almost useless at this stage. We'll have very few GC items, most items will be priced in "Dollars" - and only way right now to obrtain dolalrs is to hunt zombies in large cities - ie - super rare.
    - Missions won't be available until we'll know what servers dynamics are, so hopefully around Octgober 25th.
    - We've UNLOCKED safe settlements, removed any protection, as well as NPC services. So for first two weeks they're YOURS to conquer, build your own barricades and beses. Enjoy !
    - Notes, barricades, building blocks are all in, they're extremely rare
    - Weapons are rare, ammo is super rare - so expect more use melee weapons
    - Weapons attachments are EPIC and rare - so if you'll find one - HOLD ON to it.

    Things that WON'T be available till very end of Alpha or past October 31st beta release :

    - Freiends and Clans
    - Leaderboards
    - Renting servers
    - Stronghold servers

    Basically we really want to make sure that by November you all will have same footing in a game, and also we'll fix all bugs that can hinder premium services like renting servers and strongholds stability. We don't want you to waste money, but more importantly we don't want you to have subpar experience for the paying services in a game.

    So - sometimes tomorrow ( mean USA monday, not EU one ) we'll post client to http://www.thewarz.com/download

    Feel free to spread it as wide as possible - upload to sites, torrents, etc. To play game you'll need to have valid serial key, so we're okay with free distribution of the game client.


    to be continued !

Assuming I'll even be able to run this, I think I'll wait until beta.
But I'll need feedback from people with laptops as crappy as mine on how it runs. I'd rather not waste $20 on a game I can't play.

Get out. Your no better then those Minecraft friends calling Blockland a Minecraft clone. Also, NO, it won't turn into a PvP handicapped game Like DayZ. DayZ, its so loving easy to find anything, while in the War Z it'll actually take time to find guns and ammo and anything. Please get your facts straight before posting utter bullstuff like this.

Minecraft is a survival game with building elements, blockland is a building game with easy modding.

Warz is a zombie survival game with Pvp elements, dayz is a zombie survival mod with Pvp elements.

Your brown townogy is stupid.

Simply making things more difficult to find does not make the game less Pvp oriented, it will probably make Pvp more prevelant due to resource rarity.

Okay, so they're the same genre and have some similiar elements is your arguement. Guess what, Minecraft and Blockland are both sandbox games with similiar elements.
