    Requirements are still being decided. But currently we have the following Minimum Specs: At least 2GB’s RAM. a 256MB Graphics card or higher with shader support version 3 with DirectX 9 | Intel Dual Core Processor 2.2GhZ or higher / equivalent | At least 1.5GB’s of space | Windows XP SP3 /Vista SP2 / 7 SP2 / Windows 8 / Linux Version X / Mac Version X | A broadband line for multiplayer. Note: These do not apply to server hosting Requirements

    Really tempted..

    No sign of my key yet anyway. I backed it with only a few days to go, so i guess it might take a while. Hopefully get it today.

    Looking at the forums there seems to be people setting up servers for multiplayer fine.

    Night time can be quite tough, but it's easy once you know how the zombies react. Will definitely be tougher once the acid spitting and wall climbing zombies come in the next alpha. Quite enjoyable overall though.

    Played for a while last night. Finally got the hang of crafting stuff.
    Got through the first night, but ended up digging a huge pit, didn't add a ladder and ran out of pickaxe and ammo :p

    Ended up suiciding to respawn. Gonna have a good crack at it when I get home from work.

    Excellent game so far, the noises scare the hell outa me

    So I got to day 11, and after mining for what seemed like an eternity my game crashed with an out of memory error :p

    It didn't save either... Found myself back on night 6 after reloading the game...

    As it's an alpha, I can shrug it off. Will jump back into it later, but this time I'm doing hourly saves so I don't lose out on too much.

    Had a pretty sweet defense and cave built too :/

    I think the game is a great idea, and I think its really fun. I made my way to a town with brick houses and camped upstairs in one of them, breaking the stairs behind me. Safe as houses.

    I think night time is a bit long. You literally can not be outside when night happens so you normally have some form of defense and you are just waiting for day, it is a bit boring.

    The game glitched on me a couple of times, there were old logs that were popping up an error console every time i tried to pick them up, but nothing too major. Its certainly very playable as it is.

    What's to stop you tunnelling between houses?

    How deep down can you dig? Can you make underground bases or is there a bedrock level a few blocks down?

    But underground the game is pretty much a less interesting minecraft. No zombies, cant come across caverns (afaik). The interesting part to me is the survival, not the mining

    Zeds can also dig down, so if digging at night, and they hear you, you're kinda fcuked. Also, a previous video said that if you didn't build support, the cave may collapse on top of you... which would be bad.

    Will probably get this on next payday :)

    Finally got around to making my first video on this game. Myself & a few of the lads manage to find rocket launchers & disaster strikes :P Enjoy!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZI46i8ewho


    Would really appreciate some help on Reddit with this one too, if you enjoyed it! http://redd.it/1l7bz5

    Really enjoying this at the moment. Multiplayer/coop with mates is good fun. I've found the way to make the night more interesting is to try & fcuk over your mates by trying to get them to fall through the roof etc.

    Cheers!
