Surprised to see this thread back up. Godspeed Grziwatzki. :greatjob:

And for anyone so inclined, Zafehouse Diaries is currently available in an Indie Royale bundle for approximately $6 for another week or so. http://www.indieroyale.com/ And if you care about Steam keys (And why wouldn't you?) Indie Royale is typically good about adding them if/when they become available if the game ever gets greenlit.
Also of note, the developer has been doing a decent job working on the game. Here are the updates that've happend since Anabanana last did an update:

http://www.zafehouse.com/2012/11/patch-v1-1-51-released/ 1.1.51 which added a new dilemma, location, occupation and new items. And various rebalancing and tweaking of course.

http://www.zafehouse.com/2012/12/patch-v1-1-6-out-now-play-road-kill-an-all-new-game-mode/ 1.1.6 which added an entirely new game mode which is my new favorite, Road Kill.
The most exciting addition is an entirely new game mode, called “Road Kill”. Search the town and scavenge for parts for a broken-down vehicle. Your survivors will then have to fix the vehicle before they can drive themselves to safety. To support this new mode, we’ve not only added new content, but modified existing dilemmas and events to reflect the altered objective.
The best thing about Road Kill is that rescue is now entirely in your hands — the game won’t end unless you drive out… or die. Even if you do make it out alive, relationships and the supplies you’ve gathered play an important role in just how well you do. How these affect the end result, well, you’ll have to play and find out!
Road Kill represents the largest addition to the game since its release; it really changes the way you approach the game. You’ll have to re-examine those rock-solid strategies that served you well in Classic mode and try different tactics if you want to succeed.

http://www.zafehouse.com/2012/12/patch-v1-1-61-released/ 1.1.61 which was largely a balance/bugfixing patch.

http://www.zafehouse.com/2013/01/patch-v1-1-7-released/ 1.1.7 which added a new occupation, dilemma, weapons, and replaced/added snazzier stock portraits for survivors and a bunch of dilemmas and items.

http://www.zafehouse.com/2013/03/patch-v1-1-8-released/ 1.1.8 which is the most recent patch and added a new dilemma, weather, a new idle task of showering, and expanded the custom occupation editor.

Alright then, let's try again:
yugo.jpeg


Name: MKC (Mandatory Kid character)
Jewgold: Rich
Education: Univ.
Orientation: Cisgender Straight
Gender: Male
Ancestry: European
Career: Chef
Trait: Perceptive
Age: 21

The idea behind this character is that I'm someone with a really twisted sense of humor that enjoys making references few people will get children are naturally resilient and tough to kill in horror/slash movies, which means that clearly this guy will be unstoppable... Right? :M

Thanks!

Question will you be adding custom locations?
It would be nice to surprise our band of soon-to-be dinners.

It appears that the Zone claimed Grziwazki, and I got a wild hair up my ass to LP something but don't feel like doing something long. The solution? ZAFEHOUSE DIARIES.

(note: we are definitely going to die because i haven't played in ages and am going to doom us, but harumph)

We're gonna try road kill. Perhaps we shouldn't, since everyone with a custom career has fuck-all vehicle repair, but our resident librarian probably can repair a car right? I bet.

WOiiRu9.jpg


It begins! 7 Patria street! Since we don't get a quest compass we've gotta remember that protip. Our starting building has 11 entrances and 43 furniture.

uZLiSkt.jpg


Here's our starting reputation pile. MKC and Uluc are best of pals, and Lindblum is generally disliked. That damn bird.

I3f0tOO.jpg


And here's our list of starting supplies. However...

2PRF53F.jpg


7 Patria street is on the other side of town. What should we do, Codex? Try to secure our starting house, or make a run on Patria immediately and hope the car is there? It seems like it would be a good idea to find the car and then secure THAT building, but who knows how difficult finding the car would be?

First person to reply chooses our fate on this one. I normally would try to do one update per in-game day, but since this is a big choice early on I don't wanna wing it myself.

Ulminati calls it, so we run!

NX8E2aF.jpg


And then I immediately fuck it up by not taking any of our supplies with us. Fuck. Either I've forgotten how Zafehouse Diaries works (Entirely possible) or they rejiggered the way they handle taking shit with you. I thought how it USED to work was you'd send people on an away mission and then it'd give you your equipment list and let you choose what they take. Now they're just hauling ass and left all their shit behind.

Well I'm sure it'll be fine. And if we get immediately eaten within minutes of starting this adventure I'll just pretend it never happened and we can start a new round with the same characters!

mBobgMs.jpg


It took 4 hours to cross town by foot one way, so in the event we DO take this building, hauling our shit back from the starting house will basically be a whole day proceedure.

Still, one zombie outside and seemingly no zombies inside? Not bad. Unfortunately I discover I fucked up in YET ANOTHER way. After checking out the building the whole bro team starts the trip back to our starting house. Again, I could've sworn in Zafehouse Diaries you got to choose the type of mission you were undertaking once you reached your destination, but maybe they changed it and I just wasted 8 hours running us back and forth across town to scout the building. God DAMN it MHC.

m7TwACX.jpg


Everyone's finally home. Azira makes himself useful by finding a snack and finding there are no working showers in the house. Showers are a relatively recent Zafehouse Diaries addition, survivors will get grungy and unhappy without 'em and the occasional shower is good for morale and keeping your reputation with the other survivors up.

Since it's 1PM we should have enough time to get back across town once again, so... Let's do that. This time I pay closer attention and don't fuck it up.

ZSdlvKQ.jpg


There, that's what I wanted. For god's sake Cow.

PuISpmG.jpg


We're in! We've got some zombies crawling around outside, but I'm of the mind we should finish exploring the building first, to make sure there aren't zombies inside who are gonna bite us in the ass. After that Uluc and Grziwatzka are strong and tough and will (Probably) get outdoors zombie cleanup duty.

God damn it Uluc! CONSERVE AMMO! STOP MAKING NOISE!

RNQJmfY.jpg


I also see Lindblum's popularity is still falling. Good thing he was the leader of the national association for concerned librarians, kebab sellers, and swedish chefs!

x0jhz94.jpg


Lindblum are you just TRYING to stir up shit with Azira? We'll leave it be. KEEP IT TOGETHER AZIRA!

7rlMHo3.jpg


Zombies. ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE. I swear it's all that fucking gunfire drawing them in. Checking our supplies it appears the journal wasn't giving us supply updates due to hot zombie action. We found a lot of mostly useless miscellaneous shit and a carburetor. So our protip wasn't to the vehicle, but we found a part for it at least. Going to continue trying to search this building, we may not want to STAY here (no vehicle, all the gunfire may have attracted zombies, no showers) but we probably shouldn't relocate during the night.

Alright, sun's up. Here's out situation at present, the building has been 50% searched, there are 18 corpses inside (Bad things can happen because of corpses, naturally), still more zombies outside, and we have a single car part to show for it.

What's the plan now Codex? I would recommend abandoning this building, but if so where should we go? Here's a look at the map.

To the bar! Or at least, that was the plan. When I tried to move the pieces the game wouldn't let me. Possibly because we're still tied up with zombies in this building, possibly because of a bug. I'm betting zombie tie-up.

Yep, zombie. 5 zombies attack but we smack 'em all down with no damage. Here's what we're taking with us to the bar:

zIjRYO0.jpg

YuzLEDC.jpg


A shower! Hurray! And a note with the location of an air filter! Of course, we don't even know where the vehicle is yet, but still! At this point I set Grziwatzka and Uluc on zombie patrol outside to hopefully whack down their numbers while the rest of the team continues searching the bar.

d10YdOu.jpg


Zombies smacked! Crossbows found!
Since it's starting to get dark I stop the outdoors zombie patrol. MKC and Grziwatzka are a bit hungry, so I set MKC to making meals.

Shower drama!

Jesus fucking Christ Lindblum!

HLW2Web.jpg


Um... Well... Um...

P52mpMT.jpg

pkD3ofR.jpg


STOP IT LINDBLUM. STOP IT. BAD BIRD.

Ok, our situation. Uluc and Grziwatzka are starving, the bar is surrounded by zombies, we've got no food, Uluc and Azira are crippled, and this is the friendship list.

What's the plan?

Traitors! So much for my theory, I can't believe everyone momentarily agreed with that bird to kill a kid.:lol:
I vote for retreating, the bar is not safe.

Lindblum is always right. We're fucked.I vote to end this here, with a sacrifice to let MHC get back to the game and hope that the all-Librarian run will be better.

Aw. But in a fight to the last man and the last bullet....

BREACH in quick succession the three houses south of the bank. We're going down fighting, or get back our BRO spirit from the carnage.

And Light....is that kid from a French show i got a glimpse out while I was in deep despair?
Truly? AND HE'S DEAD! Good. First blood !

One vote retreat and one vote glorious charge into history and/or houses, so here we go!

Well shit. Couldn't even escape the first house to breach the second, too much zombie action prevented me from giving orders. Unsurprisingly Lindblum was the last to die, and it took EIGHT FUCKING ZOMBIES to bring him down. Fucking librarians, man.
