Project Zomboid Alpha re-released!

The people over at Indiestone have finally brought back out their paid version, and with many new features! From the character creator, to basic npcs, they are showing even more progress than before.

The first post came out yesterday evening letting people who have bought the game test the new alpha. Of course there were the few who felt entitled to a complete version, when they specifically stated that this was a buggy version. Even though some people had that mentality, most people actually provided useful bug reporting for the devs. As you can see here, within less than 24 hours, Indiestone has shown their dedication to creating the game and making it as enjoyable as possible by patching out a lot of the bugs and issues that were found.

Now, if you haven't bought the game yet, you can still play the out dated demo to see if you are at least interested (That demo itself was enough to make me drop the measly 5 Euros [About 8 US dollars]). If you are interested, you can still buy from google checkout and you are e-mailed your password to login. Should you not want to use google checkout, you can now use Desura and pay with paypal to purchase. If you've already bought it before, and now want to use Desura instead of the standalone downloads, you can activate your game on Desura. Steam support is currently not out, but they have stated multiple times you will eventually be able to activate your copy of Project Zomboid on Steam to receive updates.

Indiestone are currently using the same approach that Minecraft has, with the current price only for the time being, and then increasing the cost as more updates come out.

Here is my current character in the creator, I tried to give him the same attributes I would have (other than the job itself). Click for full size.
