If, you’ve ever been to New England, you know that the beach along with the Atlantic Ocean is just to the East of you. So if you head east, your bound to find the Atlantic Ocean.

So why is there no beach in cataclysm DDA? Where’s the mutant beach babes and the giant sand crabs, the zombie-infested harbors and loot filled cargo ships carrying ASS TONS of weapons and oil, the sea side attractions and Evil lobsters that want revenge on humanity and our Red Lobster food chain (funny building idea). Hell, there might be a boat that could sail me to safety on another island/continent…or bring me to my own doom at the hands of the Kraken.

New England really wouldn’t be complete without a beach of some kind.

Wolf spider, global warming melted the ice caps. Making the beaches expand, not contract.

Yes, I want zombie beach blondes.

But in all honesty, the maps are procedurally generated, so creating a constant piece of map border that works within that randomizing map design function simply hasn’t been addressed yet.

It’s being worked on, and has been being worked on for about a month and a half now. Big map rewrite in the works.

I just hope it gets finished. \>\_\>

I believe he was joking.  
If not, then just trust him, after all, he IS a writer. 😛
