[quote=“secretfire, post:48, topic:5570”]Driving Tutorial.
A start with nothing, as far as the eye can see, and instructions on driving, and infinite gas.
Driving is -damn near impossible-. I’ve been playing with it for an hour, and am no closer to it making sense. I’m on a freaking unicycle, and I cheated myself a driving skill of 10, and it takes an -entire road- to turn about 30 degrees. Its insane. Its by far the strangest driving system I have ever seen. I mean, the rest of the game is great, but I have no idea why so many people on these forums talk about using cars. -nothing turns-.[/quote]
More special game modes that act like tutorials would certainly make it easier for new players to learn the game mechanics, but I’m not sure how difficult it would be.
The main thing with driving is that each turn action (assuming you don’t fumble) turns you 15 degrees, so it takes 6 moves to do a 90 degree turn.
At low speeds and/or with small vehicles it’s hard to tell which way you’re facing exactly, so keeping track or waiting a moment helps you keep your orientation.
Most of the things I’d consider needful are already on the to-do list, but more improvised electronics and traps and such would make surviving in a large city a lot more interesting.
The only thing I’d really want is being able to set remote controls, this would be extremely useful in tons of different ways. For example being able to open garage doors from your car, triggering noise makers on and off in different places to herd zombie hordes, detonating explosives from a distance, etc.
