7 Days to Die (abbreviated as 7DTD or 7D2D) is an open world, voxel-based sandbox game created by The Fun Pimps. As of August 11, 2013, development of the game is ongoing with a Kickstarter campaign ending on August 15.[1] The estimated release date is May 2014 for Windows PC; Macintosh and Linux versions are planned for later in the year.[2] The game has also been greenlit on Steam[3] after 23 days getting over 75,000 yes votes, 8,340 followers, and 8,700 favorites. It had been #1 on the Steam Greenlight after only 16 days with over 56,000 votes.[4]
The Windows alpha version of the game was released on August 16, 2013 for people who pre-ordered the game on either Kickstarter or PayPal. The Mac alpha version was released on September 13, 2013 with the update Alpha 1.1.
Plot
It is the year 2034, the third world war has left the world in ruins. Soon after, something caused dead people to reanimate as zombies.
You are one of the last survivors, trapped in the zombie infested county of Navezgane, Arizona.
Gameplay
7 Days to Die is an open world survival horror game. The player spawns into a (planned to be) randomly generated world, with the objective of surviving for as long as possible. As the days go by, the zombies get tougher and more aggressive. The game features the ability to craft, destroy, and manipulate objects. The game also comes with a physics system in which building a structure with no support such as pillars and walls can lead to its collapse. The game is voxel-based, allowing for simple building, and destruction of objects. The game's main focus is to have the players try to survive the night, as the game features a day and night cycle, making the zombies slow and weak during the day, yet fast and aggressive during nighttime. Also the game features a system in which the character constantly needs food and water. Objects in the world degrade over use, so the player will also have to be searching for or make new tools as the game progresses. Currently the game is in Alpha phase and does not have the many of the planned features, such as NPC quests, vehicles, temperature survival elements and ability to randomly generate maps. The world is fully destructible and mold-able. The player can build their own house or destroy existing ones in order to gather materials to construct a fort. The game also features stealth and distraction system to avoid unnecessary conflict with the zombies. The zombies in 7 Days to Die will climb, dig, destroy walls, doors, or even entire buildings if necessary to get to the player and kill them. This leads to the player needing to set up traps for the defense of his or her's base.
Multiplayer
The game will feature different types of multiplayer modes and a map building tool to allow players to create their own maps. Multiplayer has already been implemented with the first public Alpha release.
