That horse is wheelie cool!

The leg rotation is dynamic based on the horse speed and the rotation rate is perfectly synced so that the feet move on the ground without looking like they’re sliding over it. Someone put effort into making this work this way.

Looks like they just replaced a car model with a horse and attached the legs to the wheels

I think they're just wheels with an alpha mask on the texture and now I was to go try this.

I love how the shadow of the horse is a perfect rectangle.

Think of the energy saved by not having to bring 4 legs back to starting position. It's just ahead of it's time, really.

I half expected the legs to go back as it lifted off into the sky

No. Horses have multiple types of gaits but none of them involve all 4 legs leaving the ground at once. Now if they were rotating in the order of 1,2,3,4... Or hell, even, 1,3,2,4. That would be something.

11 months ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The legs on the horse go round and round

11 months ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

this would have been exponentially funnier if all 4 legs moved at different times

I think this is a mod. I don't think animals came out yet, unless I've missed the news. Fun game though. Project zomboid. It isn't ever going to be finished and some of it is very janky, but if you can look past the rough edges it is worth the purchase price (or was for me)

11 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No one posted the dog yet?
Same game.
Project Zomboid.
Apart from this that game is pretty dope imho.

11 months ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Well, both the dog you posted & the horse OP posted are from mods, not the base game.

Jup.
Forgot to mention - thanks.
Mods are a blessing and a curse.
At least we get funny memes out of it.

I feel like that's a mod.

11 months ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 0

It is a mod, because Project Zomboid doesn't have animals yet--those come in the next update, B42. Quite a few of the posts of the game are all making fun of animal physics and animations when they're all memes made by mod devs, but no one seems to credit that (or the devs). Unfortunately, I've no idea who the mod dev is for this one.

Mods, just like the horse you see in the vide

11 months ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

Could be wrong but I think the horse is part of the Build 42 that's going to introduce animals (so you can farm them). It's just been in beta for a REALLY long time so the horse is just a silly placeholder animation.

11 months ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Actually, ignore me: didn't realize Filibuster had a horse mod too lol. Thought it was just a B42 preview.

I liked that game until I realized that zombies respawned and it was intended to be multiplayer. My first 25 or so runs were premised on the idea of clearing the map of zombies entirely. I couldn't figure out how they kept getting into areas I was sure that I cleared.

11 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

It isnt intended as multi. I have 300 hours and never played multi. I hate multi. And the map is higly modulable. You can lower or even switch off respawn. But it actually take out a big chunk of gameplay imo. Base defense become useless without respawn

11 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

You can turn that off if you like. There's a metric buttload of options for custom games.

11 months ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

There's a mod called Sandbox Options or something that enables changing the sandbox settings during play, so you could even turn respawning back on again whenever you want to

11 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

This is doable. Choose Custom Sandbox from the menu. Select the tab for Advanced Zombie Options. To stop zombie respawning, set the Respawn Hours number to 0.

I'm not a fan of project zomboid because it's too technical for me. I'd rather play dead island

11 months ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

I use cheats to max my character stats and give myself food then build up house bases all over and rebuild cars. But if you want a less technical take on the game, Survivalist Invisible strain is good.

11 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I don't like how much sitting around there is. The technical portion is cool. I'm a 7 days guy myself if I get the ol' zombie itch.

11 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The slow pace and technicality is what made it enjoyable for me. Different strokes!

11 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You might like Card Survival! The one I'm playing down is on a Tropical Island but they're also working on a fantasy woods setting too. It looks simple on the surface but you realize pretty quickly how complex the mechanics are. You also can't rush exploration as tempting as it is or you'll have a bad time
