As people who follow our socials know, we don't like giving out long-range external ETAs; we take pride in our non-crunch work environment, where developers are freer to work to their potential without outside pressure.
However, we can say that B42 will be out this year :)
It's been 10 years since
#ProjectZomboid

And even more awaits...!
Big thanks to

's B42 has been in the works for so long that you've probably forgotten everything that's going in it--no worries, it happens to the best of us ;)
In any case, here's a handy list to remind you, and perhaps whet your appetite even more:

Yes, I've been researching animal poop so that it is represented accurately in
#ProjectZomboid
.
Yes, google now autocompletes "poop" whenever I type in an animal name.
I did this for *you*.
(Can you identify the animal these poops came from?)

It's come to our attention that someone is ripping us off and is attempting to sell NFTs using
#ProjectZomboid
assets. This is unauthorized, without our permission, and is stealing our work. We do not deal with ANY NFTs.
We never got verified in the first place, because the strong branding of a cherry pie to represent an isometric zombie survival game pretty much did the job for us.
Has This Ever Happened to You?
You're whaling away at a zombie with your acoustic guitar and it breaks, leaving you WEAPONLESS and DEFENSELESS?
Don't fret! With our new patented Broken Items System you'll be back on your feet and impaling zombies in no time!
We're proud to announce that Build 41 of Project Zomboid has been fully released!
This update is a huge overhaul of our entire game.

Please RT and spread the word!
We are delighted to announce we are once again partnering with
@TechlandGames
, this time for the Dying Light Definitive Edition + Project Zomboid bundle!
Be forewarned: this week's Thursdoid is going to be delayed until next week due to some key members of the dev team being on holiday.
In compensation, here is some evidence that you will soon be able to recreate Le Déjeuner sur l'Herbe in

The responses to this tweet have ranged from "normal" to "concerning".
-Can it be used for crops? >normal
-Can we eat it? >gross, but valid
-Can we put it in others' food? >criminal, but valid
-Can we use it to contaminate prison shivs, making basic poisoned weaponry? >concerning

As I've explained before, the person on twitter (ie me,
@mashpotassium
) works on the art. I tweet icons because I make them and thus they are readily available, and sometimes I find them amusing.
@theindiestone
GameStudio: We are making your game as fast as possible, working very hard.
Meanwhile: last update year ago and here is a stick bro! xDD
Replying publicly bc we often get comments like these:
The Project Zomboid team is more than one person. We are not working on a single feature at a time. Making holsters (or whatever) does not mean work on everything else comes to a halt.
@theindiestone
Yeah but you won't fix the injury system, make bacterial infections work properly, have cars that are not buggy, implement car door animations or remove car doors being opened if you enter a car and immediately start driving, fix constant multiplayer desyncs etc etc etc?
If you haven't seen the big news,
#ProjectZomboid
has been nominated for the Steam Labo(u)r of Love award!
We're so grateful to our community for getting us this far, and if you'd like to take us further you can vote for us here:
I think its fuckin hilarious how if you search Muldraugh, you get a map of the real city but the visualiser is from Project Zomboid
@theindiestone
lmao
Congratulations to
@CyberpunkGame
for winning the Steam Labo(u)r of Love Award!
We knew we were in it tough going up against such a huge game, as well as the incredibly deserving
@JoinDeepRock
and
@NoMansSky
, and it truly was an honour just to be nominated among them :)
We've seen concerns that the extensive engine and map data structure changes we have planned for b42 will make existing map mods invalid.
This is not true! They will need to be reexported in new versions of the tools, but it will not need to be redone from scratch.
A bit of an announcement, the twitch copyright trolls have struck again, claiming ambulance sounds in the game - we're looking into a streamer mode that will turn sirens into unconvincing synth sirens to stop this happening. Twitch need to have some exemption list or something
Texturing some animals. It's a very imPORKtant animal, and you'll go HOG wild when you find out which one I HAM working on! Starting BACON your guesses, and don't CURLY-TAIL your enthusiasm!
One of the great features of the Spiffo plush is his usable and removeable backpack! It comes filled with typical new survivor gear: a can of pop, butter knife, and dead rat...
1/ Hey all, we’ve made the decision to temporarily make Thursdoids monthly rather than every 2 weeks. Much of our current work is ‘completing what we’ve already shown’ – and much of it isn’t flashy, it’s just stuff we need to get done that isn’t always suitable for a news post.
Once in a while, we have to say it publicly: thank you to everyone for playing
#ProjectZomboid
and spreading the love. Your support allows

Twenty years since one of the finest British zombie movies of all time! We'll see you at the Winchester (Kentucky branch) one day for a nice cold pint.
20 years ago to this very day, our movie came out in UK cinemas and changed my life forever. Eternal thanks go to everyone who helped make it and everyone who saw it and made it a hit. But, wait there’s MORE! ... 👀 1/4
From The Last of Us and Resident Evil to Dying Light and Left 4 Dead, the popularity of zombie games just never seems to die. But which is the best of all time? Cast your vote here:
Since a lot of people were asking about snakes, I'll mention that they definitely won't be in the first set of animals added as they currently don't work with our animation systems. However, I really want them to be in one day, so maybe!
