Horses: An old-fashioned mode of transportation comes to Survivor Z.
Upcoming features in the dot release will include Horses, as well as new Animals that can benefit survivors in various way. The Horse will be valuable for obvious reasons, as they never need gas and can increase range when doing searches. The horses will be found in specific challenges, as well as in random searches. They are implemented in the same way as all vehicles, and must be in your load out in order to gain their benefit. Additional things to consider are Horses will require fresh water, which will tax your supply. But look at that face, how can you...

read moreFind a Survivor Van in April and Share to win even more!!
We are preparing the release of the April challenge. I would like to ask for some help in promoting the contest, and announce a “contest within a contest” idea that I had. Obviously, word of mouth is very helpful to indie developers like me who can;t afford big money ads. So if every player that actually finds the survivor van could post a screenshot or share the experience somehow, share with me via Facebook or this forum how they chose to promote the find, I am going to pick the best THREE and award them with a Pretty amazing free IAP and a Survivor Z T-Shirt. Here’s how you do it: 1. Find the van 2. Get a screenshot or somehow visually depict the found van (proof you found it) 3. Promote/share it however you choose, your favorite social media, blog, youtube, whatever. 4. Send me a link to your promo/share via our Survivor Z Facebook page or this thread.https://www.facebook.com/ZDAYapp I will choose 3 that I feel are most effective and most original. IAP will be given out after end of contest (April 15) and T-shirts are limited to Continental US players only. Thank you and good luck!! ED...
