Today’s is a pretty Simple one. the Game is Project Zomboid. I usually don’t like sharing 2D games because they’re hard to make look presentable, but i also like sharing images that break out of my usual “Here’s a Landscape shot” and wanted to share this. Me and My friend had a cookout in a motel we have a Base in. My Character is a Regular Middle Aged Suburban Dad named Jerry, while his character is My Character’s Adoptive Stoner Son, named Cable. There’s a whole lot more “lore” behind them but that’s the general gist of it.
I just got sucked back into this game a few days ago. None of the people I used to play this with want to touch it again so I’ve been running solo. It’s still fun, but its not the same as slow rolling up to my buddies base in a cop car with the lights and sirens going with half of West Points zombies following behind me.
I’ve done the same to my friend before, except I spawned in Louisville, so that was the end of that run for him (And me too). After that we always play with the guts camouflage mod so we at least have a fair chance to make it out if one of use fucks over the other.
Can’t get my friends to ever play this, because they say “it looks like the Sims”. Completely ignoring the insane amount of depth this game has.
Sadly not really a game I wanted to play solo much.
Same. The bane of my existence is that the few gamer friends I got only play online board games together, I need friends to play my co-op stuff with
Zomboid started as a Sims mod that has taken on its own world and systems. Imagine the Sims, but a zombie simulator with very detailed and in depth health and healing, food and drink cook, crafting, driving, etc.
They aren’t wrong that it looks like the Sims, but that also doesn’t make it easy or boring.
Love this game! Currently waiting on Build 42 to release so I can hop back in.
The wait for build 42 is agonizing. I have major respect though for Indie Stone for keeping up on the game for all these years. I know the game gets occasionally bashed for being EA, but it feels like they care with each update (and the public roadmap to release helps too)

How so? I don’t see the problem.
This isn’t 2D… I think of Mario or Sonic as 2D, what’s this though, isometric?
Oh yeah. You’re right. I guess I associate this with being 2D because of all the 2D sprites it uses
Such a good game. Sometimes my friends and I turn on runners and randomly drop into the same town. Seeing how long we survive. Just get eaten every second. Good times.
I’ve never played this, but wanted to say I appreciate your posts and am always happy to see this series of posts continuing!!
Played this years ago but couldn’t quite get into it. Maybe I should try it again to see if it clicks
It’s much better with friends imo. Me and the friend in this picture went to pick up a generator from an airstrip and it was forecast to snow. I crashed the car. So we were racing while dragging the generator for miles to get back to our base before it started snowing.
Amazing game. I need to play more of this. Love your daily screenshots! Keep em coming!
