      I'd say we're about 84.5% complete for Closed Alpha. We've cleaned up the codebase over the last couple weeks, and now are on to honing AI/Player control and the game mode stuff. We're close, but it looks like Closed Alpha will be a May target release. We'll do a proper update soon to break it down.

      I'm glad to hear that.. I don't like it when games are online only..

    20. Mblogo.small

      Creator Massive Black Inc on March 14

      @Daniel
      Hi Daniel, the game will not require online play. Although, it is a download only title, so you will have to go online to get it and/or to rank yourself on our leaderboards. For Closed Alpha, we don't expect to have online play implemented.

    21. Missing_small

      Creator Daniel on March 13

      one question is this online only ?

    22. Mblogo.small

      Creator Massive Black Inc on March 13

      Hey Dablue! Apologies for the lack of an update so far this month; we are fervently working to get Closed Alpha playable by month's end. We have made some big strides but the next two weeks will be very telling. I'll keep you updated with at least checking in here or on our ZPG forum http://www.zombieplaygroundgame.com/forum/ . I never did like 'filler' episodes in a tv series, and I want our next update to reflect that (if you catch my meaning). Thanks for peeking in and stay tuned! <3

      Creator Massive Black Inc on January 23

      No worries Daniel, it's still in progress and slated for end of March Closed Alpha release. Thanks for your patience; we'll have a new Kickstarter update on the project very soon, likely next week, keep an eye out!

      @Dablue
      If you pop over to http://www.zombieplaygroundgame.com/forum/ you'll find more info on ZPG, and we can try to field your questions easier.

      We're not ruling it out, but I wouldn't expect to see a tree house in the first Alpha release, although we plan on patching it in soon thereafter.

    31. Whosawesome_avatar.small

      Creator Dablue on November 12, 2012

      I was reading through some older updates and I wondered.. how is the state on the player tree house? will that still make it in game? can you give us more updates on scope of the main game etc?
