Let's kick off this month's Zeek Feed with telling you about the FormatGG event we attended last Thursday in Liverpool, UK. We showcased an exculsive 1.0 build to get some early feedback and the response to the new changes, features, and performance was very well received. It was great to hang out with gamers and discuss all things HumanitZ. Thanks again to FormatGG for having us!

New Magazines Update:
We have added new variation of magazines to the game. These can be found in the world and when the player reads them, they get a increase/buff in that area related to the magazine for a full in-game day. For example, reading the fishing magazine before you go fishing will increase your chance of catching fish and you'll get double the xp for all fishing actions. As for the others magazines, we'll let you discover what they do on your own. We are adding a lot of them, so keep an eye out.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/41284373/00f16f333cc95685661cf650dd12f07fbaad2394.png"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/41284373/bd123234dde43910e37024eaa682d4ce6dbdb6d9.png"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/41284373/3b1f14b40c95d10877cbc83d2a1ee812531eb5d3.png"][/img][/p][p]Custom Character Update:
The new custom characters, to include the new female models, are now fully implemented in the 1.0 build. Clothing and weapons will now show damage, dirt and blood applied over time. Clothing can be cleaned when walking into lakes or when raining, and melee weapons can be cleaned when repairing.

We want to discuss game performance next as we know we needed to address game stuttering and FPS drops. We have recently made huge steps forward with improving these issues with a drastic increase in performance across single player, multiplayer, and most notably the dedicated servers. We have received overwhelming feedback from our team of testers how much better the performance and expeirence is on the servers, so hopefully you all will enjoy the optimization.

Map Overhaul Update:
Level design and world building is really breathing new life into the map. In every area where updates have been made, the game feels more immersive the feedback for the map as a whole has been resoundingly positive.
