After an explosion in popularity in which Twitch has had a lot to do, the new indie star of 2022, Project Zomboid, is already looking for a way to monetize its success and expand its universe so as not to be left behind.
The idea of the study The Indie Stone
The fact is that the plans go through introducing a complete NPC system, but they still don’t know where they will actually shoot. On the table are ideas such as including animals, other characters to collaborate with, reintroducing the story mode, creating communities in which to protect survivors …
All this entails continuing to work or discarding ideas such as procedural events, autonomous behaviors, work systems and a good handful of systems that for now are half cooked. It’s time to decide what becomes a priority and what does not
In any case the creators of Project Zomboid want to reassure their current player base (38,000 viewers on Twitch as of this writing) by ensuring that, despite changes or the introduction of objectives to encourage engagement with the game, the idea that has led to the success of starting from scratch and following your ball will continue to be there for everyone.
