    Street Names & Ragdolls Project Zomboid EP.93

    State of Survival Episode 93We're diving into the new Project Zomboid Build 42 unstable update, focusing on the addition of ragdoll physics and street names. Do these new features make the game more immersive or are they just a source of unneeded frustration?We discuss the benefits of having road names on the map, especially for those of us (like me!) who are terrible with directions. We also talk about the potential for modders to rename roads and the one small UI nitpick we have with the new map system.Then, we get into the hilarious and satisfying ragdoll physics. Discover how these new animations affect zombie combat, both with melee weapons and firearms, and why they add a new layer of comedy to the apocalypse. We also share some funny in-game moments, like finding a zombie in a "scorpion" pose and the surprising reactions to being shot in the legs!While we love the new additions, we also address some of the current issues, including potential stuttering and lag spikes that might be linked to the new physics. Plus, we debate whether the option to toggle these features in the sandbox settings would be a good idea.Welcome to "State of Survival"Our Podcast dedicated to the survival-based genre of video games.Our Social Links can be found here : https://stateofsurvival.org/Join Our Discord :

    What's REALLY Going On With DayZ's Future? Ep.91

    The DayZ Badlands trailer is here, and it's got us thinking big picture about the future of DayZ! After years of updates and recent DLCs like Livonia and Frostline, another map DLC is on the horizon for 2026.Is Bohemia Interactive just trying to keep the dedicated DayZ fanbase happy, or is something bigger coming? We discuss whether these DLC releases are a way for DayZ to implement major core changes (like the heating and cooling mechanics introduced with Frostline) or if they're testing new features before wider release.We also talk about the unique challenges and potential of a desert map like Badlands. Will it be a harsh test of survival, focusing on heat and shade, or will it suffer from vast empty spaces. Will we see a "Dune"-like experience with extreme temperature swings?Discover why we believe this accelerated release schedule is a smart business move for DayZ, showcasing continued support and expanding its loyal player base, especially for console players who crave new maps. We break down the DayZ development strategy and what it means for the game's longevity.Welcome to "State of Survival"Our Podcast dedicated to the survival-based genre of video games.Our Social Links can be found here : https://stateofsurvival.org/Join Our Discord
