Greetings Survivors, It's been a week already so it's time for another Zeek Feed, this week will be a bit of a short one so let's dive in! [i]What we have been working on…[/i] We tested our first dev build with quests added to the map and it was a lot of fun for the team to dive in and play HumanitZ with quests, we will be continuing to improve and test the newly added quests system over the coming weeks as we edge closer to its release.

More testing will continue this week but it's going in the right direction as we work towards helping support lesser PC specs, steamdeck compatibility and just overall game performance.

Not much else I can say right now on this but we plan to do this with more locations in future if it works out well.

[*] Changing how rock and mushroom spawners work so they can be added to the map in a more performant way so that players will be able to find rocks etc a lot more easier. [*] Updates around the player’s health system with more types of illness and bleeding etc coming soon. [*] Making noise! More actions in game will trigger noises like looting etc more info on this soon. [/list] Thanks for the support and taking the time to read our latest zeek feed. And we’ll see you on the next one Regards HZ Team
