[7D2D] Progress report
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 2:17 pm
So... Soulfinger and a few friends of his have been playing 7D2D for a while and I joined in recently.
So far we have been PMing each other with updates on what's happening and general discussions, but because there are several people on the server (and hopefully more joining in), it's time to get a proper thread started (and perhaps that'll turn at some point into its own forum).
In case you're reading this out of curiosity and don't know about 7D2D, here's the jiff:
It's a survival game (one of around 5 or so that recently - in the last two years - were released) with a horror theme (AKA zombies). Survival means that you have to keep your wellness up (food and hydration) and that allows your health meter to automatically replenish, and from time to time your maximum health (starting at I think 50 out of 200, which is the limit you can reach) increases (some items increase your maximum health also, such as vitamins and venison stew). For food you can build your own garden or hunt wildlife. 7D2D has a fully destructibe landscape (AKA mindcraft but without the "blockiness"), which gives your resources (next to grass, trees and leather from animals) that you use to build camp fires, forges, tools, armor, weapons and all sort of other items. You use the camp fire to boil water to make it drinkable and cook food - you can drink water without boiling and eat food without cooking, but there's a good chance you'll develop diarrhea, which reduces your hydration level considerably, so that is not advisable to do, just like in real life. So yeah, you basically do whatever it takes to survive, just like you would in such a situation in real life - except in 7D2D you also get to enjoy the company of zombies
Also I should note is that, although you can play the game by yourself, it's much more enjoyable as a group!
