We're happy to announce the release of patch v1.1.7 for Zafehouse: Diaries. With this patch, we've taken the opportunity to update a number of images, including all of the in-built survivor portraits and several dilemmas, with high-quality replacements. We've also added 16 completely new images for in-game items, which will appear as photos in the diary when you discover them for the first time.

On the gameplay side, v1.1.7 features a new dilemma, called "The Believers", as well as the Priest occupation to accompany it. A new ranged weapon and ammunition type has been added -- the crossbow and quarrels respectively. While the crossbow has a slow rate of fire, it makes up for it by being extreme powerful and very quiet. There's also the possibility of retrieving fired quarrels when cleaning corpses after a fight, making it more economical than the bullet-based ranged weapons.

Barricading has been reworked significantly. Secured and fortified locations will now impart meaty bonuses to spotting and resilience; noise levels inside will be reduced and survivors will sometimes automatically attack zombies through barricades. Barricades now also last longer against zombie attacks.

We've also made a thrilling change to the Infection dilemma. Along with the usual "Let them live" and "Kill" options, there will sometimes be a third option with the potential to save the survivor and rid them of the infection. The price, however, may be too great...

These are the biggest changes in v1.1.7, but we've added a bunch of visual tweaks, balance changes and bug fixes we're sure you'll appreciate, so check out the full patch notes on the forums.

Direct purchasers and GamersGate customers, the patch can be downloaded from our support page. For Desura users, please use the Desura client to update the game.

Zafehouse: Diaries has been updated to v1.1.61. This is an interim patch that addresses a few balance issues and bugs with the current version.

Based on player feedback, we've done a lot of work on tweaking the difficulty of certain dilemmas involving survivors fighting NPCs. We've identified and fixed a couple of issues that could cause these fights to have unpredictable difficulty.

We've also made a few changes to the injury system, medicine consumption and resting so that they function as originally intended.

It's patch time again folks, and v1.1.6 is a beauty!

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.

For players who like to share their games, you can now enable sharing functionality via the options menu. When active, hovering over diary entries will show a "copy to clipboard" button. This should make it easier to quickly paste text into forum posts or documents. We hope to expand this feature in the future to support popular social media sites.

As usual, a complete list of fixes, changes and improvements can be found on the forums.

Zafehouse: Diaries is now at version 1.1.51. Along with fixes, tweaks and other small changes, the update boasts a new dilemma, location and occupation and several new items. We've also done a lot of work under the hood to open up the game to modders by granting access to previously hard-coded or hidden variables.

This patch also dramatically improves loading times when starting or restarting the game and players with graphics cards beyond the recommended requirements can enable the "Fast asset loading" option to reduce loading times even more.

Another addition is global equipment loadouts, which should streamline the process of re-equipping survivors between movement orders.

Finally, we've toned down the effects of hunger and starvation. Survivors can no longer die from a lack of food, however, hungry and starving survivors will suffer significant stat penalties and all activities will tire survivors out faster.
