Best Wishes To Project Zomboid
Controls
Some of the controls in Project Zomboid are intuitive, whereas other ones are not what you would automatically assume.
WASD: Movement
Left Ctrl: Can be used to attack when a weapon is equipped in your primary slot.
Left Shift: Sprint, increases your speed. Your speed will decrease as you become tired of moving at a quicker pace. Shift clicking on a window with curtains or sheets on it will open or close the curtains/sheets.
E: Interact with doors/windows/etc
1: Equip/Unequip Handweapon
2: Equip/Unequip Firearm
3: Equip/Unequip Stab Weapon
F: Equip/Turn On/Off Light Source
Right Mouse Button: Is used to move if you don’t want to move using the WASD. Simply hold down the right mouse button and your character will move towards the mouse pointer. The farther away the pointer is from your character the faster he will attempt to move. The RMB is also used in combination with the LMB to drag objects around. If you have the right mouse button down and you left click your character will make an attack in that direction.
G: Changes the graphic level.
M: Turns the music on or off.
Q: Shout (can be used for attracting the attention of the zombies or npcs)
I: Expand/Collapse Inventory
C: Toggle Skill Panel
J: Toggle Info Panel
H: Toggle Health Panel
P: Pause
F3: Normal Speed
F4: Fast Forward x1
F5: Fast Forward x2
F6: Fast Forward x3
=: Zoom In
-: Zoom Out
Video of the Week #11
We have a special VotW today. It seems that xelnos21 played the demo AND bought the full version after he heard about the recent burglary and setbacks. Good for you xelnos! We here at pzguides salute you! This is his first playthrough of the game besides playing around in the demo for a few minute, he wasn’t sure what to do with the pillow so tried giving it to Kate…
Enjoy!

You Can’t Keep a Good Zomboid Down
Post burglary information
The Indie Stone has released a statement explaining the direction that they are taking after this loss. It reminds me of Churchill in ww2. We will be seeing more information on update progress in the future. Things are not as dire as they originally assumed, but the next update will be limited to NPC stuff, saving and new map stuff will be in later updates. Long live project zomboid!

Kind words for The Indie Stone
In light of all the sadness that has been directed at the down on their luck folk at The Indie Stone I decided to fight fire with fire and see what kind of good comments I could find.
Enjoy.
Mad Mack: Project Zomboid and You
Delay on 0.6.1
Unfortunately The Indie Stone was robbed today. Both the laptop they write the code on and the laptop they back up the code on have been stolen. This will set the update back. Apparently the most recent backup they have are from before the last update. We need to support them in these trying times, even though it will take longer for the update.
Patience, everyone.

Indie Developement: Thoughts on the delay
Huge Update to Site
Well. That took a while.
I finally fixed the search function. I added “top content” and “newest content” so that people can quickly navigate to our most popular areas. Not only that but I made it easier (again) for people to submit and edit their own content. I added additional pages. I changed the look and feel of some pages. I moved the rating tool to the bottom of articles (so people will read them before rating them) I cleaned it up so author and date work like they are supposed to, and finally I added a new section called “Articles” in which news articles about Project Zomboid are linked. I think I found almost every article on the web.
