First Game Recipe Video Adaptation Released!
Our first game recipe video has just been released! In case you missed our past announcements, lately we've been working on a new video series where we're making video renditions of our existing game recipes. You can watch the first one on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bk-JiBPK0M
This is something new we're doing so we appreciate any feedback you have on it!
Easy Game Creator Released on Steam!
Easy Game Creator is a derivation of 001 Game Creator which allows anyone with a mouse and keyboard to easily create a video game to share with friends and family. This project was primarily handled by our team of beta testers and template creators using 001 Game Creator. It has uncovered countless bugs and issues with 001 throughout it's development and will serve as a means to further improve 001 in the years to come!
We are using Early Access to better understand which customization options we need to prioritize first, as current customization options are fairly limited. We will also be utilizing community feedback to help prioritize which features and customization options matter the most to our users!
If you have ideas on what you want to see in Easy Game Creator please send your feedback here: https://easygamecreator.com/contact/ We would love to hear about the themes, gameplay and anything else that's important to you. Feel free to include written ideas, screenshots or even gameplay prototypes! We greatly appreciate any and all feedback you have.
HUGE things coming down the line...
Easy Game Creator is not where we'll be stopping. Even bigger similar projects are being worked on in the background. We are very much looking forward to the day that we'll finally be able to officially announce them; but for the time being, we've created a roadmap to give you a small idea of what you can expect in the near and far future regarding our projects: https://001gamecreator.com/faq/#roadmap
Thank you to our supporters!
We can't thank you enough for having made all of this possible. From our Patreon members, to our translators, and the entire community as a whole! All of your feedback has helped us to improve our products and service throughout the years. As such, thank you! We hope the community and Patreon members grow to the point when we can release webinars in the future!

Battle Bands: Rock & Roll Deckbuilder - Theodore Roosevelt
Hey hey hey, thanks for tuning in to Riff Radio!
Today we've got Early Access Patch #19 for ya, which adds the Grand Royale- special Royale tournaments that are scheduled throughout the week which offer extra Backstage Pass experience and Credits as rewards for the matches you win!
That's not all though, folks! "The Final Judgement" has also switched up their style a bit, focusing more on building hype and less on destroying all who dare challenge them! Go let them know what you think of their new direction!
New Features:
Grand Royale
Special Royale tournaments with extra rewards!
Schedule: May change as we learn more
General Changes:
"The Final Judgement" has been rebalanced to get more hype , more protection and do slightly less destruction.
Bassist Name Tag now moved to not get overlapped by cards in play.
"Protective" Upgrade for crew description more accurate.
In response to community feedback, we're moving away from in-game microtransactions for Credits. We have removed the 'Buy Credits' button from the in-game shop. At this time Credits will only be earnable through Grand Royales, Backstage Passes, and as a single first-time player bonus. Future updates will also allow players to earn Credits through a new challenge system. Down the road, we will look at adding cosmetic-only DLC options for players wanting to show additional support for Battle Bands. Moving forward, we intend to keep Credits obtainable only through various gameplay features.
In addition, we have back-updated Credits for existing players in the following ways: - All players have been given 150 Credits (the same as the first-time player bonus). - Any player who has chosen to purchase Credits in the past has been given a bonus of Credits equal to the amount they originally purchased.
And that wraps up today's Riff Radio news update! Before I let you get back to head-banging, be sure to join our Discord if you're looking for new band-mates to play with or want to give us some feedback. We love hearing from you punks, so don't be shy and as always- thanks for listening!

Nothing seems to have exploded just yet, but there will very likely be a hot fix for anything that does crop up. We’ve had a few complaints of visual issues with some clothing that we’d thought we’d fixed for instance, that can probably get a quick look-over again before we move on.
This patch is largely quality of life changes, some MP tweaks and fixes for longstanding annoyances – so hopefully you’ll see a few things in the changelist that make you feel both cherished and warm.
Other than that hot fix, unless we return if circumstances demand it, the final devs who were tinkering in Build 41 will from this point on all be fully aboard the Build 42 train.
BARNYARD FRIENDS
First, let us reiterate – Build 42 is still a long way off. However RJ’s development playpen for the domestic animals that the build will feature is still ticking along quite nicely. This week he has prepared two videos for your delight but first TWO caveats.
First, our animator Martin wants it known that one of the things we’ll be working on will be the way animals turn / turn when they move.
Secondly, clearly what you’re seeing here is debug dev-stuff – especially how it looks and operates when leading an animal around on a rope. We haven’t quite landed on the best way to herd animals around yet, and will likely have to land at a halfway house between realistic, feasible and fun. Likewise, thirdly I guess, UIs clearly aren’t final yet either.
So here’s proof that you can pet the cute little animals in Build 42 of Project Zomboid.
And here’s how to coax them into a trailer so you can cart them off to slaughter them somewhere distant so their loud desperate squeals won’t attract zombies.
MAGICAL WOODLAND FRIEND
Yes, it’s happened. Spiffo merchandise is finally a thing. Behold! More information to come later on down the line. But for now…
To register your interest in crowdfunding a Spiffo plushie visit the Makeship Store! The full campaign begins in less than a week!
This week’s table arsenal from Polaris. A changelist of all our pre-release and post-release patches since the 41 beta began can be found here. The Block of Italicised Text would like to direct your attention to the PZ Wiki should you feel like editing or amending something, and the PZ Mailing List that can send you update notifications once builds get released. We also live on Twitter right here! Our Discord is open for chat and hijinks too. No-one is allowed to make a jar-based gag in the presence of our Spiffo plushie, please, as we had to google it and oh dear god no please no.
Since our previous update on this in October, the team has continued to publish a number of updates to EA anticheat, resulting in further significant reductions to the number of players seeing stability and boot up related issues.
The team will continue to investigate and work through issues to provide the best experience possible. Updates will be released through Title Updates and Server Releases, where appropriate.
Thank you to those who have been providing us feedback, and check out the EA SPORTS FIFA Tracker for the latest updates.
Since the game is already out, we couldn't keep it a secret anymore, and with great pleasure, we'd like you to know that Karl Jacobs, Foolish Gamers and Corpse Husband, are voicing some of the characters in Once Upon a Jester!
Here's a short video about Foolish's part - check it out and play the game to hear Foolish, Karl and Corpse!
