Zero Sievert (2022) - Post Apocalyptic Procedural Survival RPG 

Point 6. "Profit from their shared suffering" Ah capitalism.

It is not just internet connection, there is an entire universe of problems the forced multiplayer brings to Tarkov.

Just in case you are interested Tarkov can be modded to be a single player game. Search for "Single Player Tarkov". I thought it it was a lot of fun.

@@mthall621 never count on mods for a game in development

@@Jesse_IDG Funny thing about the mod is that Nikita himself doesn’t like it at all.

same.. but this game is almost exactly Stalker, more than Escape from Tarkov tho

I think the best balance would be only allowing auto-sorting when you're safe in the bunker. Tetris inventories make sense when you're out and about, you trade the time managing your inventory for the danger of holding still.

@@codec862 Does time run while in your inventory though? I didn't watch carefully enough to see that. If time stops there's no point in not having some auto-sorting. Otherwise I agree with you.

80+ pounds sounds crazy, that's like half my body weight. Props to you for pulling through and sticking with it!

@@PandemoniumGameDev Cheers, I really appreciate that :)

yea i cut down on my caffeine intake too, and now i just smoke some meth and pop a few adderalls, but caffeine aint my slave master no more thats for sure!

Amen, man. Quitting caffeine is one of the best things I’ve ever done. I have so much more energy and focus now; and as a bonus, I happened to find out by proxy that caffeine was one of my triggers for seizures (I have epilepsy, so most people aren’t gonna have to worry about that), so quitting caffeine also knocked out a good portion of my seizures!

Quitting cold turkey is rough, especially if you're drinking a lot. I had to ween myself off of it slowly, the migraines from trying to quit cold turkey is some of the most severe pain I've ever experienced.

Yeah, especially in first one. Going through Call of Pripyat now, definitely nerfed here.

i can still remember their breathing, the horror...

@@sumdude5172 I remember the glowing eyes seemingly floating in midair as it rushed towards me then fully decloaking as it was right on top of me.

Nah, man. In a wrong circumstances every mutant is a pain. A pack of dogs surrounding you in the open is a pain. A pack of snorks on uneven terrain is a pain. Controller in a woods is a pain. A midget in tight corridors is a pain. Bloodsucker in a bushes is a pain. A giant is huge pain no matter where you encounter him.

Shotguns kill everything in the zone.

Because they rather others dont be the decider for if one has fun or not. Plus not everyone is outroverted and prefer solitude with npcs over others + social anxiety is a b1tch.

@@Tm-dy2bp wtf is outroverted xd And I can see the social anxiety argument, however, life is short and anxieties should be worked on. Extremely limited life-experience as long as it stays unbeaten.

@@Gloriankithsanus Easier said than done some people actually can and have died from panic attacks set on by their social anxiety. Outrovert or extrovert rather is a person who is outgoing and usually cant stand being alone and needs company almost all the time or opposite of introvert. Heck even im like that, introverted that is. I prefer being alone and get really negligible small panic attacks when in crowds it makes me highly uncomfortable being around more than 1 other person.

@@Gloriankithsanus as the world gets more centric on disconnection, this 'life experience' thing gets weaker and weaker, all the world expects of you is to be able to find your spot in society, and there is by no means no real requirement you to be willing to put yourself in unsure situations for your own enjoyment for society's sake. Not only is it a dumb idea, its a idea that supports self-malice.

@@AstralDragn Said nobody with functioning brain cells

I wish I learned about this game earlier, so that I could've supported it and gotten an early build and be able to play earlier. Still can't wait for it, too

the corpses always will have crows come and pick at their flesh which is the mechanic to spot the corpses

How are you liking it so far?

My strategy was always to back up into a corner so that they could only charge me head-on.

@@Middcore i just went ham with a shotgun, usualy did the work. Point blank in to their ugly face lol

don' forget about poltergeists

You can get it on Steam Early Access :)

tbh that meme is a fucking shit stain to this well made game hell even derogatory. as yes its inspired by stalker but also has a lot of tarkov elements and it also happens to fit the solo neche tarkov has droped, but sense stalker has not seen a new installment outside of fan made anomoly it can fit the neche too. plus a differant take to the 2 being top down shooter.

@@lechking941 chill out bro it was just a joke lol

Honestly i love it. A stalker inspired roguelite sounds interesting too

@@cargobob i will not. the joke is often used in a downgrading manor of somethings a lesser quality of whats spoken. so to me this feels more like a pure blooded insult to the game and what its doing.

@@lechking941 I agree with you man, this game is too good to be made fun of and from what I saw, the dev actually gives alot of shits so seems like a good sign

cant wait for stalker 2.. if the russians fuck this up for us we aught to drop a nuke on moscow

i feel bad for you guys.. i stick with adderall and meth, i cant imagine what it would be like being hooked on coke. especially that nasty ass coke zero!?!?! :P

They start to get more difficult and are much more difficult on the other maps

@@TrendyTryhard Bought it right after I made that comment, 60 hours in. Great game.

Bandits, ghouls, and Green Army members will attack each other on the map if they wander into each other, so you can be walking through some random area and hear gunfire stitch through the air from some random direction through the trees. There are certain buildings where enemies will spawn inside of, but not inside the small, one-room buildings. No to the negotiations and no to the partial consumption.

@@niklase.4850 Thanks. That's disappointing, a lot of tension is lost if it is predictable that there are never enemies in the small buildings. Same goes for negotiations and partial consumption, I hope they add those things.

correct! Also this game is almost exactly Stalker, and not really Escape from Tarkov, not really sure why Splatt is making that game as a comparison and not Stalker, its kinda weird

@@raidermaxx2324 because nowadays more people know tarkov than stalker. It’s the easier connection to make, even if it’s not the best one.

@@captain_cheezus5186 sheesh.. but i always thought that not many people even played Escape from Tarkov, because it was super niche military sim that didnt have single player and was kinda not even straight forward as to when it was publically released to play. I'd for sure more people would be familiar with the Stalker franchise despite it being a decade since the last one came out.. These fucking zoomers man. Its like an argument i got into with this dude once, who said modded Stalker COP was the best and only way to play Stalker. But then i said well what about the original Stalker, and Call of Pripyat vanilla, that was a great game! and homeboy had never even played it! he was just making an opinionated statement without any knowledge of the original IP's. I gues sthis is a similar situation in a sense. Sometimes i just get annoyed by really young people sorry lol

@@raidermaxx2324 Stalker isn't approachable in the same way tarkov is. Stalker jank is way worse than tarkov jank, and having friends to guide you through the game and random players do the same with voip now is a lot easier to get into than a game where the dot at the center of your hipfire crosshair doesn't even line up with the rest of the crosshair

@@captain_cheezus5186 the crosshair and dot dont line up in Escape from Tarkov? thats pretty messed up. no wonder the active player base has evaporated in just a few short years. But, in myopinion the biggest mistake the EFT devs ever made, was no single player game. I dunno, if devs want their games to have any legitimacy, you gotta include single player. Because that is such a significant portion of the player base, and since medical tech is having everybody live longer, OG gamers like myself who have been gaming since the early 80's and will continue until they pull or cold, dead hands off of our keyboard and mouse, and who favor good, story driven single player campaigns or even simulations, are here to stay for a significant time frame. It wont be for a few decades yet, when the world only knows and wants multiplayer games. Very poor choice made by the devs, and they are feeling it for sure! On the other hand, you have Stalker, which compared to Escape from Tarkov, was janky, subpar graphics, not even very good written story, yet devs were dedicated to a sound, non diluted, single player experience, and its a classic that has had two sequels, on a mod friendly engine, and is about to release the newest Stalker yet!! I guess its a matter of perspective though, for me, Stalker was much more easy to "get into" and Escape from Tarkov's requirements-as you said yourself- of needing a an actual "guide or even two" that have played the game before and some weird technology called "voip" or something, was a big roadblock for me, and i only forced myself to start exploring it, because i had become such an Arma fan, and had finally figured out the difference between games like COD and military sims lik Arma, and escape from Tarkov, and was like i gotta try them all! lol . Ultimately tho,Escape from Tarkov was just too "linear" and repetative for me, and i think im not the only one. I wonder what "management choices by the devs" he was talking about that made him stop playing the game. Was there some sort of controversy at some point?

yea i really hate that everything fucking has to be multiplayer.. it really dilutes most games, and just like with everything resources that could be going to a really in depth, kick ass single player game gets diverted to fucking multiplayer, and ive never played a mp game that wasnt janky and trash compared to something comparable in single player. Plus im an old guy, if i wanted to play video games with children, id force my kids to play games with me. But i game to escape reality not mesh with it lol
