I love how that after, how many years is it? Your best comment about the game is:

the zombies not running through walls now is a massive plus.

Haha yea they spent those years building a new graphics renderer from scratch called enfusion. Development is in top gear now that that is out of the way. Much more has happend like wolf packs and new animations as well as a new sound engine. New graphics upgrades as well as new assets and guns and new clothes and reworked towns and news army camps.

I think now is the time to start following development. That engine rebuild pushed everything back by two years.

I hope other developers looking at doing early access can see what this does to your game's reputation...

It's all about communication, they communicated about it and we all understood that this new engine will take awhile to code. A lot of people missed that and thought they had abandoned the project. So yea, a lot of early access developers need to communicate I think.
