Hey there! 3D artist that works on the game here. Just wanted to clarify a few things for people that could get cold feet thinking this game is just an asset flip. It is not! Tho we do use a lot of synty assets we also have loads of tailor made models, textures and animations specificaly for this game! The dev (Z) really cares about quality and fun, and we are always working as hard as we can to make this game the best it can be! If you are reading this you really should give it a try, lots of stuff on the works and big plans for the future as well!
It's shit
that was the only thing preventing me from trying the game since we've been seeing so much similar games (visually) do you plan on changing character models just so it differentiates itself visually? I'm not sure if that is an easy thing to do.
It's a great game and I've been playing for ages now, first saw it on Splat's channel a long time ago. I will say the most recent patch broke a ton of things so it's not great, but the game is usually way more stable.
@@5ecretcode not sure yet to be honest. We are focusing on other parts right now, like new locations and mechanics
@@TheNorthHawk yeah, sad part about trying new things out is that sometimes other things break, but the dev is quick to fix any issues that arrive with the updates!
I got a real kick out of the police desk having a piano inside it.
So they can file criminal complaints in style and with the according musical background.
_'Ma-maaa, she put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger, now he's dead...'_
@@FurzkampfbomberLOL
15:10 So, probiotics you get in the store would probably be gone. But you can still easily make them. Basically anything pickled or fermented is a probiotic. Yogurts, pickles, cheese, Kombucha, they would all work.
Curdled mare's milk, if you're on the steppes of Asia.
You can chew on raw rice and spit it into a jar and then ferment the rice and mouth cultures. Kuchikamizake.
yeah, people miss the fact that probiotic bacteria aren't some special thing cooked up in a lab. They're very common bacteria on a lot of food, which is why our body has learned to work with them the way it has (instead of being overrun by them). Know what has a lot of probiotic bacteria? The skin of almost any fruit humans normally eat. Got an apple? You've got a ton of probiotic bacteria, too. Want even more? Eat the apple core (a ton are in the core, for some reason).
And yup, if you ferment food in any way you can get more. Just boil some water, add salt, maybe some vinegar if you can find it, and drop your veggies in there. Those bacteria will multiply and drive out the spoilage ones, if you've done it right (we make a lot of homemade yogurt and fermented vegetables over here, in case you can't tell lol)
probiotics are a scam and do not exist
@@FunsoxIt's actually that there's an enzyme in saliva (amylase) that converts starches into sugar. There's a traditional Peruvian beer called chicha that's made the same way but with corn.
for those that are not splat.. the APC wrecked there is also loot and can have very good stuff in it.
DayZ and State of Decay vibes going on. Zombie subway system? Sign me up.
NICE! A singleplayer only DayZ sounds good to me. I used to play DayZ and for the most part I liked it, but I got tired of being killed by other players 99% of the time so this game sounds like something I will like.
FOB is a forward operating base.
it's also something you put your keys on.
So like an outpost?
@@SoulWhite
Eh, yes and no. Implicit to outposts is a possibility of permanence. Implicit to FOBs is they will move as front lines move.
@@SoulWhite no, not the same thing or like the same thing.
Fob is also a derogatory term for someone....nevermind
This is one of those games that I'm glad exists, but I'm also not at all interested in playing it.
is it just me or has youtubes bit rate and quality gone down that last like 3 months? like im on 1080 p but it still looks kinda foggy
It's been more than three month, but yeah, it's definitely worse than it used to be.
For those who also don't know how to get credits, they are usually found in safes that require lockpicking. There are also now traders in certain safe zones where you can exchange money for credits, though I only know that from patch notes and haven't actually used one yet.
credit are expensive to buy but you can indeed
Currently 1,000$ in game cash for 1 credit, so you can collect hauls of loot, sell it, and eventually buy some ultra rad gear. This game rules lol
An Indie developer simply does not have the money to have assets produced for his game, he either buys synty assets or his game never sees the light of day...only 2 alternatives really so personally I think people should stop making a fuss about this
I like how a .308 rifle is referred to a varmint rifle. The .308 is a full-sized rifle round. It's used to hunt elk, mule deer, axis deer, and can even put down a moose. Definitely not for "small game"
In a zombie apocalypse you constantly pestered by zombies. And humans. Soooo... Kinda to go cartridge for pest control.
Of course I can't say for sure, but I think that name is more a nod towards the varmint rifle in Fallout New Vegas, which is the one rifle that _every_ New Vegas player knows as _the_ starter rifle.
@@Furzkampfbomber varmint rifle isn’t really a keyed term though. In New Vegas it was chambered in 5.56 even compared to the hunting rifle which is in 308.
@@gamerguy6990 Oh, I'm aware of that and even thought about mentioning it. And one of my must-have mods is the one that lets the Varmint rifle use .309 ammunition.
But then again, I am just wildly speculating here anyway.
Yea I was like what a .308 varmint rifle. You ain’t using a .308 on varmints, they would be particles after that lol.
Don't bother looting common guns, for selling, they return nothing compared to the stash room they take. Small things that return good money is the way to go.
the siren is a tornado/storm warning, there is one in my town that sounds exactly the same and it is loud af.
Been a while since I've played this, so not sure how much has been changed, but you probably shouldn't have thrown out that container at the start. Those can be used to effectively expand your carrying capacity. Especially general containers that can store anything.
You can also find First Aid Kit/containers to store medical supplies, ammo box containers for ammo and lunch boxes for food and water. All so they don't take up to much space in the backpacks/pockets. Granted you have to fish them back out of the containers to use them, but they are helpful if you're bit of a hoarder... like myself. lol
I do know they took away the ability to have backpacks in backpacks, but I'm sure having other containers in there is still possible.
Feels like Project Zomboid and State of Decay had a baby. Honestly, not being someone who's constantly playing every new indie game, I quite enjoy these visuals. I can understand someone like yourself being tired of seeing the same assets over and over, however.
Overall seems like something I'll end up sinking far too many hours into in the near future 😂
Im so glad you're coming back to this game! I found it from your first playthrough and I've recommended it to all my friends who play zombie games
uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhuuhh.
Just a fun little tidbit, I'm the one that suggested to Zurvivor(dev) to add the grid size on the backpacks descriptions. It was very difficult early on the quickly see which bag was bigger without opening every one and counting the grids. I got killed a few times doing it.
I also run the game on "apocalypse" mode, turn zombie spawn amount to double, zombie health a bit lower (to offset size) set ALL loot to rare and turn stamina regen speed to half. Makes it a whole new game!
The look of this and even style of menus remind me a little bit of Unturned, a free zombie survival game that was massive a few years ago (still gets updated). Looks fun tho! Always in for more survival/crafting games
the bad side that i dont like is from Unturned, it becomes p2w, its normal to happen, just not for me
Synth assets are great for prototyping, but they should be replaced as soon as possible. When I see a Synth asset I immediately think it's a asset flip, the issue is that sometimes I'm wrong and could be a great game behind it.
the monetary investment in obtaining the assets, and the entire reason developers buy them, is so they don't have to create the art, or pay an artist to create the art. Most people don't think the way you do. Most people do not care, and are only interested in if the game is good.
"Synth asset" i do learn new things everyday. thanks. i do often see a lot of similar titles w/ these, and i agree if theyre temporary place holders, since the saturation of games like this isn't grabing peoples attention or something "eye catchy"
@@R3TR0J4N it's not a "synth" asset. It's Synty
@@JasonEllingsworth thanks for heads up!
Definitely sounds like a tornado siren. They go off every first Friday of the month during the summer here.
Doesn’t make sense though. Tornado sirens are static and are operated electronically from that static location. A Klaxon makes more sense and sounds more like what’s in the game. Also, no power source required. Just hand cranking a handle and is usually man portable depending on the size.
Could you cover Starsector again? It got 2 updates since your last video
If we're being honest, it's still the same more or less. Just some more end game stuff, story, storm riding, and the abyss.... Game is still fantastic.
@@theshyboy Pirates! in space. A bit heavy on the armada-building. I like the game a lot though.
I'm glad there's no durability on tools. I hate that. Like, why can I chop down trees for multiple days in a row with an axe in the real world and maybe need to sharpen it a bit, but in a game I hit 12 zombies in the head with it and it suddenly becomes unusable?
It was painful to watch him run by the Bradley when the Bradley normally has the best loot
Been playing this game since september, and 5 or 6 patches ago, great game, and growing...
This game has had good support and is a fun game to mess around in!
bought this game a year ago. it's been the best little game i've bought. i keep coming back to it and every time i do there's a shwack of new updates and things to explore. it's bloody marvellous! thanks for introducing me to this title. :D trade credits are found in safes that are scattered through the world. usually on a second floor somewhere. you'll need to upgrade your lockpicking to get into them.
"Sinty/sinte/cinty/cinte/syntie/cyntie"?? I haven't heard of this before.
I like such single player "clones" of popular PvP(vE) games, sometimes I wanna play these types of games without the hassle of other players, whether friendly or hostile.
I just saw that on steam! great timing sir!!
"It changes completely every six months or so." So, like 7 Days To Die, except changes for the better, instead of unnecessary complete overhauls for the worse.
And it may actually get released in less than 15 years. Do TFP know such a feat is possible with a small dev team? Or at all?
tornadoes, tornado sirens!
I know! I live in the middle of Tornado Alley and got worried until I paused the video and it went away, lol.
sharks.

The Zombie waitress with a gun obviously worked at a waffle house. 9:10
No way bro overlooked a Banelli M4 and called it pump action, dude missed out on a sick semi aito john wick shotgun
Why does this feel like just a more completed version of deadpolly has the same exact houses items assets literally everything can somebody clarify if they are working together or what’s going on.
Never understood why zombies have blood gushing out. It would coagulate a few hours after death. It also wouldn't be red without oxygen circulation. It should black sludge spewing out.
Being a nurse kinda ruins games when they try to be gory for no reason.
I loved Dysmantle so this looks like a good game beside those pet peeves I have.
Bro's looking for realism in a zombie game 💀
@@Deadsphere why make the blood red? Oh realism. Why do you need to eat or drink in a survival game....realism. Do you enjoy making yourself look stupid?
@@VyseSolo I'm moreso nitpicking your choice of complaining that zombies gush blood. Who the fuck cares? They're gory because that's what sells, it looks cool. Makes you feel powerful in the game. You are literally looking for realism in a game where the only realism is eating and drinking.
Do *you* like making yourself look stupid? You're a nurse for fuck's sake, I would hope a nurse of all people would have a brain.
I always enjoy little smackdowns like this @@VyseSolo
@@VyseSolo hahaha handled that troll like a boss xD 👏👏👏
Big fan of "Unturned" but the pacing way slow. If this has coop I will have to try it!
11:19 "In this game it's a .308, which is like 'damn, you huntin' some big varmints out here'". Love it!
A game that is majority 'melee combat' and 'looting' needs to have much better combat and looting. I don't get game development nowadays.
Most complaints on Steam revolve around melee combat and it looks bad as I'm seeing it. Some complaints around looting.
The looting looks weak overall with the infinite 'bag in a bag' thing. There needs to be weight as a factor. That's just one issue.
Combat needs more dynamics. Block, dodge, push, anything. Guns don't seem to do enough damage. AI pathing looks horrendous.
If those two elements were dialed in I would buy this immediately. Some of the other stuff I could live with while it updates. Game was released in June of 22 so not exactly fresh off the press.
I bought this game a little while ago and I'm enjoying it immensely! It's a little rough around the edges but that's fine at this stage of development, and as you say it's being updated an enormous amount :) Highly recommended for something more chill than DayZ, but still very engaging. Set to become even better!
Edit: Heh, I always love your commentary :D
Yo, I had no idea Splattercat was a Nor-Cal dude! I did my military training at Travis Air Force Base right next to CMF. I live central CA coast now, but I was a few minutes from Vacaville about a week ago to visit family. Small world!
Looks interesting. Shy away from DayZ since I'm afraid of pvp. But will there be MP COOP in the future for this game... or is there another similar game which I can play COOP with my friends?
7 days to die. it even has fully descructible environment like minecraft
Looks like an asset flip, with all those synty models and the marketplace UI and stuff. No matter how fun this could be, I just can't stand looking at another synty asset game anymore, there is just too many of them around now.
So what, It cost me £2.99 and I've had hours of fun.
The dev is hard working, active and the map is huge, there is a lot of "stuff", hidden things, and as is said in the vid has base building, gun mods, vehicles among tonnes of stuff and runs on a low end machine.
I don't just dump a game cos I have preconceived ideas about it's looks though, and yes I'm over 40 and have been stung by games before.
BUT £2.99 is nothing for the amount of time I've had fun in it.
Especially compared to the pub, cinema, or any game with a sub/game pass.
Seems like nobody knows what a varmint rifle is. Fallout New Vegas had one chambered in 5.56
So close, lol.
This is meh. You are amazing though dwarf catman.
But it’s the zombie RPG he always wanted it says so in the title
He streamed it recently and it's a lot more in depth and better than it looks at first glance, but hey, if it's not for you, it's not for you.
I understand how asset packs can look unremarkable, but I'll take Synty over Unity asset flips any day lmao
Its a good game wuth great support from the dev regularly and is always ready to listen on the games discord
I've seen this game a few times on Steam, cool to see someone checking it out. I'm a big fan of zombie games myself, and set out to make my own. I have a demo up on Steam now, it's called Barricade. It would be so cool to get feedback on it from you and the community. Keep up the good work that you do. Cheers!
This game come a long way after your last review, I was thinking of grabbing the game since I love Zombie RPG style since Dead Island 2. there is Dying Light but the RPG Aspect on Dying Light is not enough for me (game is still great tho). from what I saw Melee seem to be solid and less jank this time around, Imma grab this as soon as possible.
Thanks alot for the Update Review :D
This game for an early access has quite a lot of things to do and explore. I had only great fun so far. What i also like is the dedication of the dev., saw him actively communicating with players on reddit when there is bug or suggestions. Updates are pretty regular. Really liking it so far, if he continues like so far, this will be just even better and i won't hesitate to get DLCs if he releases any. Keep it up Zurvivor!
The siren in this video is the same kind used in my local communities as a weather warning. They sound when a severe weather event has been verified to warn people to take shelter.
It is likely to be on a government building but could just be on a utility pole assuming the dev is being realistic and not just generating the sound in the region.
Stumbled on your video after getting about halfway through I went and purchased the game on steam. I wasn't sure about the art style at first but hell the gme looks like a bunch of fun.
So thanks for showcasing it.
For those that want, the backpack stacking is disableable when creating a new game, just enable the option "Disable Backpack in Backpack" under Loot/Enviroment
Also, thank the gods for packs like Santy, many great games wouldn't exist without them
Haven't played it for quite sometime and its kinda cool that instead of disabling the backpack in backpack (BinB); its an option.
Personally, I don't like BinB because no matter how hard you try to avoid it you will use it sooner or later. Its like starting Skyrim anew as a battlemage but you will always ended up as a stealth archer. Its inevitable 😂
Fun fact! The dev is working on a base building system so some things are buggy with it, its in unstable currently.
Do zombies respawn infinitely or can you actually clear areas?
It’s not a straight-forward one and done like in other games, but it is possible to stop zombies from respawning by putting down walls near their spawn area
Why does anyone want to play a game with graphics that look like this? what is the point?
Because they want to?? Its not like it has the graphics of a 2000's game. Minecraft is blocky as shit but everybody still likes it.
I spent so long playing this game when it first came out, built a massive base, almost every legendary weapon ect. Then they did a huge update that completely wiped my file witch put me off playing for ages..
But it's a really solid game that I recommend for people looking for a good single player zombie game.
Great video as usual bro 👌
Got this a few weeks ago it rocks, the bag in bag inception can get mad 😂 but it's good too 😊.
Loving it, it's hard, but fun, and the save function is great for just jumping in and out, fills the hole that online games and ones that make you go somewhere to save, don't for me.
Old Original STALKER player here, and old guy who loves it's hard but chilled face.
Plus being able to load my music in and play it on the car/house/jukebox stereos is good too.
You should do Starsector
This game is really, really good. Outstanding bargain. The best part is how much you can customize your settings
Former music producer with a weird 1-off on the Synty assets:
When you use digital assets or sound design products from the market, you get accused of "over-using" sounds or sound architecture. For instance, the Korg Triton synthesizer has a very distinct sound and other producers will hear it and know what "patch" you used, sometimes even if you edited the patch. Furthermore, certain VSTs (virtual studio technology, or a virtual instrument for digital production) have a specific "sound" or timbre created by their effects chain, recording bitrate, and other DSP (digital signal processing) related quirks. I feel like some of the nit picking gamers and reviewers make is qualitatively the same. You play or review so many games so you just have a dead zone for the same assets even if they're used in a new way or improved upon.
That said, no clue if that's the case here. Just food for thought as people review or watch reviews on this type of game.
This game would be good if it had better graphics. I can't get past this blocky, Minecraft-like, style. I know, it's not exactly like Minecraft, but you know what I'm saying. It's just ugly to look at, and it breaks my immersion. I'd love this game if it had more realistic graphics.
DeadPoly... it's DeadPoly. They're the same games, like... exactly (extremely small differences).
Heyyy, first timer on this game, looks proper chara movement, is how i like it, smooth, not tackky.
I also been lookin for DayZ singleplayer.
I would want The Forrest style building mechanism with the survival guide that has the blueprints.
I got this in a Humble Bundle deal, looked at it once and forgot about it. Dangers of giving away cheap early access games! Looks like it's going to be more fun now though.
A note on rigging: It's the process of preparing a model for animation, so the assets are already rigged. What this developer lacks is a bunch of animations, which are just not fun to make manually, and difficult for a solo to set up if you want mocap. I'm sure it's a low priority though, with more interesting animations coming as higher priority changes are done.
Going by the patch notes, there's been a decent amount of work done in bursts. I hope the dev doesn't lose all interest, because it's coming along nicely.
wait what.... what school did you go to over i nvacaville? iv lived here since 2001. my aunty used to work a CMF. she got to meet Charles Manson, also the pink power ranger. i remember that break out, me and my friends were hanging out, i also live near the trailer park and baseball fields off of Creekside dr. wow small word dude.
A singleplayer DayZ or a State of Decay where you don't have to have Dawson's Creek-like conversations with emotionally unstable emo NPCs constantly? Count me in!
i think i have a off brand version? deadpoly?
I guess deadpoly came out a few months before this game, but has had further spaced updates and has multiplayer. Also dead poly has mutated special zombies.
Any survival vibe is killed by the absurd (but funny) nesting packs mechanics. I started to seriously enjoy the game once I disabled the option, and this is my piece of advice for newcomers.
Woah i remember playing this when it first came out i completely forgot it existed... lol I may go back and check it out again. LOL ty YT algorithm
Just want this game from a AAA developer. Not much to ask, unfortunately they all seem to want to make assassin's creed or COD bullshit clones with cash shops.
Reminds me of State of Decay which I really loved until I realized that the game keeps going on when you aren't logged on and got tired of coming back after a 2 or 3 day break to finding my camp completely destroyed and all my companions dead. I've read State Of Decay 2 doesn't have that 'wonderful' game mechanic so may have to get it one of these days...
13:45 fyi Splat, the red paramedic trousers and shirt have HUGe pockets, comparible i belive to the Mil ones.
Not that I condone this type of action, but can you 'trade' bullets from your newly silenced pistol with the travelling merchant? You know, trade some lead for loot!? ;)
This is a fun game to play for a casual like me. I have nearly 500 hours on this game. I normally go back to it when significant new content drops. Getting Legendaries and Credits is simple enough if you want to put in the effort and do a bit of farming.
The whole time I was watching this, I couldn't help but think yer character looked like Eustace from Courage the cowardly dog.
This dude talking about stepping on a landmine and killing your char. But, I dunno I think it's worse when you lose your Humvee full of loot and gear to one you didn't see...
My only gripe is the bugging UI. Had the inventory screen stuck after retrieval of my previous death. I couldnt open the pause menu to save or load. Made me ragequit. Its a cool game but that killed it for me
Can you check out Star Trucker? :D
It's like an American Truck Simulator meets Outer Wilds mechanics of sorts.
Love your vid as always but bro please turn off blurr motion. noone in gaming community actually likes it. its noone's cup of tea at all.
also, i dont really like games that doesnt have physic mechanics where if you hitting zombies and there is no recoil on the body of the zombies then i dont understand why would there be zombies or monsters for us to kill? they need to have some recoil or bounce when hitting them and getting hit... that way its more realistic. maybe i played skyrim mod too much but that should be standard in all combat type of games imo
For a long time I've been thinking that it would be amazing if there were tons of asset packs like this one, free or not, ready to use for developers. It would move budgets into other areas of development and cause overall better games for everyone. I absolutely love games that manage to pull off bought/free assets.
Its a crime against manhood that he didn't wear the Fonzi jacket
The game looks good as it stands - I particularly liked the scope optics, that looks like it'd be fun. This game would not scare me whatsoever.
So Probiotics will still exist in the post-apocalypse, as that's how Cheese and Yogurt are made. Just maybe not so readily
Currently on offer in the UK at just £4.99 - so I bought it based on this review :) Bargain!
if i could change something, I'd change the shooting. i wish there wasn't a yellow bar where the bullet travels and i wish the sound was a little different.
Varmint rifle in .308? what kinda varmint you dealing with, black bears?
I own this..but I haven't played it in a long, long time. I struggle to understand what is different between this, and like 3 other titles with the same assets, goals, and even the UI is almost a mirror image across a few titles.
I bought this game back when it first released and forgot I owned it until I watched this. lol
I might go back and take another look at it. I buy so many of these EA games that I can't keep track. haha
Volenteer Fire Company Siren.. that's what it sounds like to me. For local volunteer firemen, in case they don't have the radio on.
Until there are AI survivors im passing, can just play dayz solo if I wanted dayz solo
This is what I’ve been waiting for, hope there is an Xbox version in 😢 the works. Great take on survival, I love the long dark is this planned to be first person at all?
Hm, seems that siren you heard works like PZ. A meta event that shuffles around zombies on the map.
Dang, the textures are awesome! Reminds me of unturned 3, but with more detail and game depth. I'll have to give it a try
I've been giving this a play since day one and one thing that hasn't changed is the horrible combat. The most boring, clunky and uninspired combat that I have ever had to tolerate in any video game.
If Project Zomboid and DayZ had a child... And it's seems really good
playing ZOMBIE game - not looking around before looting....... gj
Probiotics DO still exist, just in food form, there are plenty of foods that are high in probiotics
if only it were co-op... everything has to be single player or mmo cant just be me and a couple friends anymore.
Looked like you walked by a firehouse...
