Unreleased Version

v0.11.0 - 11/26/2018

Added

• Isometric staggered world map.
• Orthogonal location layout that changes depending on player position in world map.
• Buildings have equipment sprites and animations displayed (if powered) for terminal, generator, and transmitters if present.
• Buildings have barricade and door sprites set based on health.
• Locations display mobs inside or outside with their names overhead. Mobs wander around aimlessly.
• Dead humans or killed zombies become corpses. The mob sprite does a 90 degree horizontal rotation to make it appear they are lying down. The sprite also remains motionless.
• Both city and location images can be panned and zoomed within set boundaries.
• Zooming in far enough from the city map will switch to the current room player is in.
• Zooming out far enough from the room will switch to the city world map.

Changed

• Map tile types to be set based on Location Tile ID layer in the world.tmx file. Previously every map tile was set to be a hospital type as default, which was used to temporarily get stuff working.

v0.10.0 - 01/27/2018

Added

• Gadget and Syringe research human skills grant a higher hp threshold when using a syringe on a zombie.
• Scanner item that is used to scan zombies into a database for tracking. The Scanner research human skill boosts the chance of a successful scan attempt.
• Terminals able to be accessed for data. By default a human can access a terminal to gain info about the total # of zombies in an area. If the human has the Gadget research skill they get info on the total zombie xp levels in an area. If the human also has the Terminal research skill they get to see the position of scanned zombies on the map. The condition of the terminal affects the accuracy of the data provided. The Gadget and Terminal skills boosts the accuracy of the data.
• Scanned status effect for zombies that is gained from being scanned by a human. Performing any action will result in this status effect being removed.
• The Gadget research human skill grants GPS, Flashlight, Scanner, and Radio items improved durability usage.
• Repair and Repair Adv engineering human skills decrease the ap cost for repairing building integrity, doors, or machines.
• Renovate engineering human skill allows ruins to be repaired.
• Tech and Tech Adv engineering human skills decrease the ap cost for installing machines into buildings.
• Random name generator for humans and zombies.
• Humans have traditional names: Bruce McMullen, Sam Warren, Rocco Ward, etc.
• Zombies have hivelike names based on the Greek Alphabet and a number from 0-999: Alpha 371, Gamma 62, Delta 971, etc. This is to enforce the role-play that zombies should be without a solid identity.

v0.9.0 - 01/21/2018

Added

• CHANGELOG.md
• Zombie skill icons for: Rejuvenation, Smell Blood, Smell Blood Adv, Satiation Bonus, Resurrection, Armor, Armor Adv, Maim, Maim Adv, Power Claw, Hide, Hide Adv
• Human skill icons for: Roof Travel, IP Bonus, Diagnosis, Pyrotech Adv, Gadgets, Scanner, Syringe, Terminal, Renovate, Tech, Tech Adv
• Maim brute zombie skill damages a humans potential hp. (when using claws) There is also a possibility to severe limbs if a human has low health. This will result in permanent hp loss that is unhealable.
• Leap hunter zombie skill allows them to travel from ruined building to ruined building. Leap Adv skill allows for travel from ruined building to unruined building.
• Rejuvenation general zombie skill replenishes hp from successful bite attacks.
• Satiation Bonus general zombie skill grants a bonus to max satiation a zombie can store.
• Smell general zombie skill displays the presence of zombies on a tile regardless if the player or zombies are inside/outside a building. It also displays wounded humans nearby.
• Smell Adv hunter zombie skill displays wounded humans regardless of the player's position. (So you can basically see wounded humans who are inside buildings from the outside, aka x-ray vision)
• Resurrection general zombie skill grants a hp boost per ap spent to revive.
• Zombies now gain 15 HP gain when feeding on corpses. The Rejuvenation skill increases this amount by 15, resulting in a total of 30 HP gained.
• Hivemind general zombie skill now allows zombies to communicate via telepathy regardless of location.
• Armor brute zombie skill generates organic armor for a zombie by feeding on a corpse. The armor is selected at random unless Armor Adv skill is purchased. Armor Adv also boosts the armor condition when it is generated.
• Radios for humans can now toggle the power on/off and retune the channel frequency. The durability code for handheld radios is only checked for radios that are turned on. (so keeping backup radios that are turned off might be a good idea)

Changed

• Human and Zombie skill names, descriptions, and icons
• Combat accuracy has been increased for certain skills
• Reviving as a zombie is no longer a fixed ap cost action. A player can choose to spend x ap to regain lost hp. The conversion rate is 5 hp per ap. The Resurrection skill boosts the rate to 10 hp per ap. The minimum hp needed to revive is 20, and the max hp to revive is 50. (Hp Bonus skill automatically gives +10 HP when reviving)

Fixed

• Organic armor code to spawn correctly

v0.8.1 - 01/02/2018

Added

• FAQ.md
• Zombie power_claw skill provides a x2 degrade multiplier against human armor. (only when attacking with claws)
• GPS destruction/degrade message
• Armor destruction/degrade message to both attacker and target

Remove

• Descriptions for door health.

Changed

• Buildings integrity is now set based on building type. The max integrity range is between 3-30 depending on the building. Large buildings and ones with resources will have more integrity. - A zombie's ruin ability works by decreasing the integrity of a building by -1 per action.
• Ransacked integrity state is when the building is not at max integrity, this results in lowered search rates and quality of discovered items.
• Ruined integrity state is when the building is at or below 0, this results in severely lowered search rates and quality of discovered items.
• Ruin decay sets in once the building is at or below 0, and keeps decreasing by 1 until the negative of max integrity is reached. (ie. if max integrity of a building is 5, then the max ruin value is -5)
• The human skill 'renovate' repairs buildings with a toolbox by increasing the integrity by 1 per action.
• Toolbox durability is 1, ap cost is 5 (with modifiers -1 for repair, and -2 for repair_adv)
• Max feedings from a carcass is now 4.
• A zombie can create organic armor from feeding on a corpse with the armor skill. If the zombie has armor_adv they may select which armor to spawn, otherwise it is random.
• Organic armor resistance values.
