Exploring Project Zomboid 0.2.0
Hey everyone! Here’s my newest Project Zomboid video: Exploring Project Zomboid 0.2.0. In it I explore all the changes in the latest version, as well as prepare for an attempt at a long survival. Enjoy!
Congratulations Warb!
I would like to congratulate 121warb for being the first person to survive over a year in 0.2.0! Good work Warb! I hope to beat you soon!
Pistols!
The latest Indie Stone Video (which can be seen here) showcases the new pistol system, including the differences between unskilled and max level in the firearms perk. This game gets better every week. In my opinion the devs need some down time. Someone order those guys a pizza!
Video of the Week #32
Hey guys! This week we have another person making an attempt at 0.2.0. Unfortunately he learns the hard way that butter knives make terrible zombie killing weapons. Enjoy!

pzguides.com loading slowly
Sorry everyone! It seems this site is taking a long time for some people to load. 15-25 seconds it would seem. I’m working on getting to the bottom of it. I may have to switch hosting services. We shall see. I’ll try to have things running quickly soon enough!

Video of the Week #30
This week we have a video review by Carson of somethingwickedgames. It’s well done and gives a quick walkthrough of the tutorial without any spoilers. I recommend this video to someone who hasn’t seen any Project Zomboid videos before.
Congrats Paul Ring aka Ringod123
Ringod is now the newest member of The Indie Stone. He will be working alongside The Will Porter to bring the Kate and Baldspot story more… story. We should look forward to new chapters coming out faster in the coming months following the update, which is down to the final 3 tasks. With a little luck we may be playing this in less than a month! I can’t wait.
The full blog post includes screenshots of some new recipes and ways to kill zombies!

Video of the Week #29
This video by SpecialAgentLuke really made me laugh. It could have been the gratuitous amount of swearing coming from what sounded like a young voice, or it could have been the accent. Either way, I enjoyed it and I hope you do as well!

Five to go and optimization news!
Only five more tasks until we get our hands on the new release. The devs have made a new blog post explaining a workaround they figured to fix some of the optimization problems they were having. The game ran fine at normal modes, but on fast forward it slowed down a lot. It took several minutes to pass 8 hours or so. So they have implemented a “skyrim-like” wait system. It’s interesting and apparently works well. I suggest you read the full blog post for more information!

Video of the Week #27
This week we have Part 3 of a three part video series by Juke it was a pretty well done playthrough, with good explanations of what he was doing.
Video of the Week #26
Wow. More than half a year of Project Zomboid guides and VotW. For this week we have a pretty funny compliation video made by Mr1rsole. He put together a few clips of one of his playthroughs and narrated it quite nicely. The ending actually made me laugh loudly to myself. Enjoy!
Q&A with the music man
This week we have an official blog post with a series of questions and answers with Zach Beever, the 16 year old wonderkid behind the music we all know and love. It is an interesting read! We are also down to 9 more things before we get our hands on the new version of the game.
PZGuides is moving up in the world!
I just noticed that pzguides.com is now on the second page of google when you search for “Project Zomboid” which is great! We moved up from the 15th page! I’d better get some new content out as soon as the update comes around! Thanks to everyone who uses this site. I’m glad you find it useful!
