Spooky season is finally upon us and we are back with another BIG update, adding some Halloween event flavour! In the 0.913 patch notes, you'll not only see Halloween-themed content, but a big list of changes and new features added to the game.

While the game evolves, some things get shifted in priority -almost daily. Rather than add new quests and extending the localization timeframe, we opted to focus primarily on the localization up to and including this update. New quests will be added in the coming weeks separate from this update, fully translated, rather than adding in untranslated new quests today.

Server Info: All official servers will be wiped and it’s recommended all server owners to do the same in order to get the best experience from this update.

Steam Deck: Further improvements have been made with controller support, bugs and general functionality and more optimization allowing use of HumanitZ on the steam deck. We will be pushing for full compatibility as soon as we finish more optimization and UI sizing.

The hurdles we are facing right now are depending on what settings you're playing on. The device can become warm and in certain high density areas, there are still minor lag spikes, and in some cases, shutting down the device. We are moving closer to our goal of being fully supported and we plan to complete this before the end of the year.

Localization: There has been a complete overhaul for Chinese localization! This has been completed with help from our publishers, so our Chinese community can now enjoy the game with a brand new and improved localization update.

Other languages are still ongoing with amazing help from our awesome community. It is a big undertaking, so if you would like to help us get there, please reach out in the Official HumanitZ Discord. We would gladly accept extra help in our mission to translate the game completely. We are also now getting external help to speed up this process. The addition of the Italian language coming soon to HumanitZ!

Dear, Survivors

There is some important news and information regarding our servers, map updates and server/game wipes.

Firstly Shockbyte our official server partner is currently in the final stages of migrating HumanitZ over to a new improved server and hosting panel. All this should work without too much downtime but it's planned to coincide with our next content update later this month for halloween.

Next up is improvements to the map, this will continue to happen throughout our early access journey. When we have to perform wipes it's only servers that are affected, but depending on what areas of the map have been updated and changed etc this might affect where people have their bases plus we have bunkers coming to HumanitZ so a fresh clean wipe is the only option.

Again we are sorry and I know some players find this very frustrating but until we fully finish the map and hit 1.0 these changes will continue to happen as well as wipes to match them.

So for the spooky season update players can expect a full server wipe and it's fully recommended to begin a brand new save and enjoy all the new changes and updates made to the map.

Thank you for supporting us.
Keep on surviving
Regards

HZ Team

Greetings Survivors,

It's been a little while since our last zeek feed but our small committed team has been hard a work, the last update of 0.912 was a huge update for us making big changes to how the game plays and it has created a really positive impact which is awesome to see and then it was straight back to work getting ready for the spooky season update.

I want to dive straight in a give a massive shoutout to Format (https://format.gg/) the world's only games and nightlife event, it was an honour for HumanitZ to feature at the event in Liverpool, UK. Our booth was busy all evening with gamers and press wanting to see what our game is all about, it really was an amazing experience for us. We hope to do more events like this in the future and we thank everyone at Format for making it possible and to everyone that came to see us.

The current state of Localization/translation in HumanitZ: We first translated the game back in December 2023 with help from our publishers. Since then the game has had lots of major updates including the quest system and menu updates causing us to be behind in translation due to the sheer number of words added to the game. The community have kindly offered to help us with this which we are truly truly grateful for. So what next? We will be moving our translation system over to crowdin in the coming days and anyone that has been helping us with translating will be notified on the new system we are using and how you can continue to help us. As for the Chinese translation, this is being dealt with by a separate team which again came from support from our publishers. So we would like to apologise for the delay in the localization, this is a one heck of a task for us, but we are making great process and hope to have it completed soon.

In September we celebrated our one year of early access and we're proud of our journey so far as a first time studio. We managed to release 12 updates in 12 months which has been a huge achievement for us, constantly fixing and improving HumanitZ while continuing to add content. The help we’ve had from our community with ideas, feedback and bug reports has been phenomenal so we really want to thank our players for a great first year! Thank you.

Spooky Season is just around the corner and we don't want to spoil too much as we’ll be revealing some teasers on social media very soon. But you can expect all of last season's event items and props added with lots of new additions and cosmetics plus there might even be a new zeek threat…. You’ll have to wait and see!

We are also working on our official website and merch store which will be live very soon so keep an eye out for that.

Right let's get back into what is coming to the game in the next few updates:

Underground Bunkers will be added
Sat Nav system for minimap while driving
Placing items from your inventory so you can place them around your base for example
Drivers and passengers will be able to access their inventory while inside a vehicle
Further improvements to Steam Deck
Ladder system
PVP Overhaul
Car Modifications (Think mad max style)
Animal Hide Tailoring
Dog Companion Inventory

Thanks for taking the time to check out our Zeek Feed and we’ll see you on the next one.
