Project Zomboid really does have a surprising amount of depth to it. It’s also got a really impressive modding scene. Like, in this particular instance, cutting off limbs and prosthetics are from a mod. In the vanilla game, once you’ve been bitten, you’ll die soon after no matter what you do.

Wow, it’s weird to realise that there is so much depth and features in a game that look like this 😀

The Dwarf Fortress effect.

Heh, true. When I first looked at it after hearing so much about it I thought it was a wrong game.

The amputation was a mod, but besides that it’s all vanilla. I really like it because it feels like surviving an actual zombie apocalypse.
Honestly, i think the way it looks kind of helps all the features. If it was full on 3D like Skyrim or something i think there would be a lot less stability due to how much is going on. Plus the top down keeps me from getting overwhelmed

Yeah, that will also require more work and animations for each feature like this. Much easier to do in a game like this.
