The player explained that the muffled groanings of Hazmat Zombies have made the character much more scarier.
The player added that they couldn’t find the source of the sound, so they thought The Fun Pimps added a new creature to the game.
To sum things up, the 1.0 update features new animals, asset overhaul for vehicles, a new gore system for zombies, zombie variance, a new challenge system, new props, road decals, new crops, new points of interest (POIs), including a new business strip and skyscraper, fresh VFX/Graphics Upgrades, various optimizations, random gen improvements, and updated controller support.
The price of the game will significantly shoot up and the developer has encouraged players to purchase the game right now. After the update, the game will be priced at $44.99 across all platforms and storefronts.
The future plans for the game have also been revealed. The Fun Pimps plans to release an update called Storm’s Brewing in the fourth quarter of 2024 and two more updates, A New Threat and The Road Ahead, in 2025.
