I've been trying out the recent Desura update of Project Zomboid, and it is really smooth. So much so that I feel it's getting close to where I and many other Zomboid fans want it to be.
Still a bit rough around the edges, but stable enough to manage to survive for a few days, or until you get stuck while trying to jump through a window. That didn't happen often, mind you, but it was a problem in those rare cases. Other than that, I could do almost everything that was in the previous Desura build.
I did encounter somewhat of a show-stopper; an issue with moving around the skill/health/info window, specifically splitting it up into several windows, and then closing them, as that left you unable to get them back.
Oh well, that is going to be fixed fairly soon now, as The Indiestone have cranked their efforts up to eleven.
In other news, I recieved some of my Creator Pack backer rewards for SoundSelf's Kickstarter. Early builds of a virtual synthesizer module, Trioxy Synth, and a MIDI-controlled visualization program, the MIDI Harmonograph.
They do look like they will turn out really well when they're done, though I couldn't get the Harmonograph to be controlled by the MIDI output from my Roland JD-800, and I suspect that the issue lies in the interface I'm using. Same goes for Trioxy, though both are operable with your computer-keyboard as well, so...
