v1.4.5

Extraction Chapter 3 - No More V2

We’ve added various changes such as new features, reworks, and bug fixes to Extraction Chapter 3 based on your feedback.

EVENT EXTENDED

We have decided to extend the event date along with 2X ZBucks and XP to expire on July 1, 2023 (ET)

Anti-Escape Door Lever System

The stealth section received a lot of criticism, mainly due to the Keycard system. We have completely reworked this section to remove the Keycard system and replaced it with a new Anti-Escape Door Lever System.

How It Works

In the control room, there is a live map on the wall of the Extraction prison with lights indicating which levers in which room need to be pulled and if they have been pulled yet or not.

= Required to unlock Armory
= Required to unlock Courtyard
= Do not pull or risk of injury or death

The amount of levers required will depend on the amount of players and difficulty.

The required levers will be selected at random every session (including checkpoint resets).

HINT: Picking the Northeast doors and collecting scrap in the morning will help you to complete the stealth section faster.

Pathfinding System

A new advanced system to help NPCs maneuver around the Extraction prison has been added. Zombies and Wardens should no longer get stuck around corners, they can navigate different levels, and travel long distances to get to players without being blocked by obstacles.

S.S.S. Boss Fight

We’ve reworked the end boss fight with the S.S.S. to make it more balanced and less annoying. There are two phases of the S.S.S. boss fight:

Phase 1 - Enemies will spawn and S.S.S. is focused on shooting attacks.

Phase 2 - Enemies will no longer spawn and S.S.S will be come more aggressive using closer range melee attacks.

Incoming Enemies Indication

During the S.S.S Phase 1, a visual and sound indication has been added to notify you of incoming enemy spawns from rooftops and bushes.

Dream Section

Due to popular request, we have significantly improved visiblity during the Dream sequences at the beginning of Extraction Chapter 3.

Part 3

The dream section was created to take you back into past events leading up to this chapter. Part 1 is the plane crash from the Pilot in Chapter 1. Part 2 brings back Jenny as a memory in the tunnels where her brave sacrifice saved you.

Part 3 has been changed from complete endless darkness to the last room where Boss gassed you in Chapter 2

Thank You and Enjoy!

We appreciate all of the feedback we receive from the Community. Please continue to provide us feedback, and we will do our best to provide you with a great experience

Stay tuned for the framework update

v1.5.4 - QOL Patch

Scenarios are back

Apologizes for having them closed for so long. We have been prioritizing the framework recently so there wasn’t much time to spend on fixing the scenarios with its outdated code. However, after a painful amount of back and forth fixing later, all scenarios have been brought back to a playable state with a few unfortunate compromises here and there due to framework limitations.

Quality of Life

Alongside reopening arcade, there have been a few minor changes added to improve everyone’ experience in the lobby :

Blocking players will prevent them from sending you trades (This relies on roblox’s blocking system)
Trading and Party Invites have their own unique notification sound (Sorry, no settings to mute/set custom sounds currently)
Bug Fixes (lots of them)

What’s Next?

Thank you everyone for your patience. I know everyone has been wondering what we have been working on, and that’s a good question to ask. We’ve been working on a complete overhaul of Zombie Stories FPS engine to introduce more modern mechanics, streamline the development process, and overall optimize the experience for players across all platforms. This update will include but not limited to:

1st / 3rd Person Camera modes.
New movement mechanics (Proning, sliding, vaulting).
Expanded attachment system with a new gunsmith system (+shooting range to experiment with your weapon).
Parrying.

This is only the first step of our complete overhaul, and we will continue to do our best to raise the standards of Zombie Stories to meet the expectations of a growing modern audience!

Thanks for Playing
