Lead artist for PZ here! Thanks for this, it gave me warm fuzzies... despite all the dead bodies ;)

There's something serene about being alone in the world. No sounds of industrial vehicles, no people, just nature reclaiming the world back to what it once was. It's one of the few games that truly capture the feeling of loneliness and beauty at once.

“Like the snow we fell one by one. The zombies were as cold and harsh as the weather” “No jerry! It’s because you broke our last car in the middle of muldrough!”

This gave me chills, it really shows how brutal and merciless this game can be

I have the fondest memory of one character in particular, I'm sure may of you do as well. She was my first character to survive for more than a few weeks, she was my first character to hook up a generator to a gas station, and she and I got to witness my first snow in the game, the first spring. This song, "Waiting", would almost exclusively play when I was in her base in the southern Muldraugh trailer park. I have such fond memories of that save, of the things we did to stave off the end of the world, if only in our little quadrant of Muldraugh, if only because it was OUR quadrant. This might be a bit sappy, but its true, I Will Never Forget You, Kira Young, My First Survivor.

I imagine with the new lighting system theyre going to be implementing theres gonna be more amazing moods to have, great vid.

You captured it all and then some. The lead artist was right, it gave quite a bit of fuzzies! Amazing game. Rate 5 stars

this should be the trailer, beautiful yet terrifying! well done, man

The look of the whole game is super cool and match the vibe despite having simple graphical mechanics. Just the best zombie survival game.

This game... Accomplished something no other studio (in my opinion) has been able to fully capture. DayZ got close but never fully was able to do something of this magnitude. I love this game, it really helps most people answer their "What would you do in a Zombie apocalypse?" question, its so in depth that there is always something new that makes you go, whoa they did that? Thanks for the upload. This video really captures the little moments in the game.

I imagine all of this stuff happening at the same time, in the same map, just different seasons like winter and fall Everyone had their own stories that they probably wont be able to tell anyone...

The "beauty" of this game has killed me a few times.... it's dangerous to let it mesmerize you.

2:30 reminds me of the part where you get stuck in a convenience store as lee in the walking dead telltale game

the weather in this game is incredible and turns any situation into a thing of beauty, from being barricaded indoors while it rains or fighting hordes in a blizzard, the weather creates such a dramatic scene every time.

This is just amazingly shot bro. Subbed.

This is really well made, it captures the feel of PZ well. You should think about doing more possibly of other games as well. Good luck with your future endeavors!

I'll never forget the first time I saw the snow in PZ

The feelings this invokes. It's amazing. Looking at each survivor, it's like their own stories intertwine with each other. Do some of them know each other? If not, will they meet each other? How will they meet? Will they be found dead or found alive and in need? It captures PZ vibes for sure and even-though it's a zombie apocalypse it's relaxing in a melancholy way. I'm looking at the survivors with their cars sitting near a fire... one with his machine under those nights and it looks peaceful. This car; a friend, perhaps the greatest friend that keeps you alive and feeling comfortable. That's just one thing.

This music though. Reminds me of all the recent play through I’ve either ended on my own or died in. The soothing music hiding the fact we’re alone, trying to survive in this horror

This is magnificent. Really captures alot of scenes and scenarios possible in the game. That emergent feeling I keep trying to describe to my friends. Here you are showcasing it.

The car flying at the end shows the true beauty of this game

I love "Waiting". It's my favorite soundtrack in the game because of the mood it gives.

RIP my homie Wyatt

Perfect. The video just perfectly captures all those little moments of peace that you know won’t last.

I love how the players grieve over their friend's grave. It gives chill...

im shocked how good this is it describes everything about the hardships

Marvellous work. Winter in PZ is almost magical.

You can pretty much tell every zombie apocalypse story in project zomboid

and some time ago this was alive happy place filled with people that felt safe surrounded with friends and loved ones

Best zomboid video clip I've seen. Congrats man what an awesome job!!

Goosebumps with the BGM man. Kudos to that music creator.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.

this is so beautiful AAA the ambiece... i cant explain, atmosphere... with this songs, such great videos bakstein!!

The music makes me want to write. The stories and the creativity coming from the ambience and theme alone. Brings a sense of dredd but with that a glimmer of hope still lingering. A simple story of survival can sometimes be better than any other kind of tale. We wish to survive to live a life well lived. But the most we hope for in this apocalypse is a peace of mind and a quiet existence left alone and safe. I hope that only good things come your way. Well done...

I'm gonna use this video when I won't know how to describe how good this game is.

This is how this game affects me, when I take a break something calls me to the next game even though there is only one end.

Really great job and choice of music

The soundtrack for this game is so good, I get goosebumps every time Waiting plays ingame.

I liked It and loved It, but I think some action needs to be involved as the beautiful guitar notes goes Into rushing rhythm where survivals all together shotting at a wave of zombies in multiple locations, and then guitar goes back into slower type rhythm while a survival walks past all the massacre they survived.

I don’t have this game yet and I’m already addicted to watching it can’t imagine how much time I’m gonna spend playing it

This video gives me real emotion. This game is just something else. And yes there's a beauty to it. An amazing game on top of being a labor of love!

this awesome keep up the good work!

The fog gives me goosebumps, it looks amazing

this came out great =) as someone whos obsessed with the game 100% on point ^.~ thanks needed this one for sure!

You really captured the feel of this game.

An amazing video for a great game! Good job!

Was sharing my screen looking for videos to watch while talking to my girlfriend over discord (we both love pz), we clicked this video and both went silent during the whole thing, absolutely captivating video, well done man.

This game has given me some of my favorite memories in all of gaming. I remember sitting by the fire, four-wheeler parked aside, gear set by each tent with my friend, giving advice and playing music as the warm embrace of the fire beckoned ever closer. And then it became day and I gave him 50 kilos of blue meth.

the first scene is my fav. got this special feeling

I've never played this game but this was beautiful, well done👏

My two friends and I just cleared over 1200 zombies from Muldraugh in a couple in game days, and as we were headed home driving south along the main road, past all the bodies, it really had a feeling.

I love playing this game to get that walking dead/ night of the living dead vibe. It's calming when you just wander from town to town and the little victories of finding a can of food in an old house you're hunkering down in for a few days is just the BEST feeling

Well done! I never knew a Project Zomboid video could give me an existential crisis

First off, INCREDIBLE work on the editing! The transitions and scenery were on point! Great choice of song, too! I fucking LOVE the atmosphere of this game. The desolation feels like a home away from home. I'm free to make my own story, make my own choices and hone my own skills and instincts. And the soundtrack, the nihilistic feel of it all. It makes me wanna prove it wrong. And every triumph I have and every triumph I see others make only fuels me further in that. Making a book based in the PZ universe with a list of characters me, my brother and some of our friends made and had our share of adventures with. I'm actually really excited with how it's turning out so far. And yes, I was quite high when I wrote this. Sorry about the droning. It's not often I find a game that I enjoy this much. 😅 Edit: Loved the airborne car at the end, that made me chuckle.

really good job!

It's been months since the world fell apart. I am the lone survivor of a zombie apocalypse. It's hard to describe the loneliness that comes with being the only human left alive. The world is quiet now, except for the moans and groans of the undead that roam the streets. I remember the day it all started. I was at work, sitting at my desk when the news broke on the TV. A virus had broken out in Louisville, and it was spreading fast. Within days, it had reached our town, and chaos ensued. I tried to stay calm and carry on as normal, but it soon became clear that this was not going away. People started to turn, and the streets were filled with the living dead. I saw things I never thought I'd see, people being attacked and devoured by those who had once been their friends and loved ones. I had to make a choice, stay and fight or run and hide. I chose the latter, and it's a decision that haunts me to this day. I left behind my family, my friends, and my old life. I never thought I'd be the only one left standing. Every day is a struggle to survive. I scavenge for food and water, always on the lookout for any sign of danger. The world is a different place now, one that is full of danger and uncertainty. I have seen things that no one should ever have to see, and I have done things that I never thought I would do. I often wonder what the point of it all is. What is the purpose of surviving when there is no one left to share it with? It's a lonely existence, and I can feel my mind slipping away sometimes. I talk to myself, to imaginary friends, anything to stave off the crushing loneliness that threatens to overwhelm me. But in the end, I keep going. I keep fighting, keep surviving. I do it because I have to, because it's all I have left. The world may have ended, but I am still here, still alive. And as long as there is breath in my body, I will keep going, keep fighting, keep surviving.

Simplesmente perfeito! Uma obra de arte esse vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻

Real piece of art, thanks

Thank you so much for this. This is really amazing and like we say; the beauty of tragedy. If I didn't know the game, I'm positive I would be downloading it right after watching this video.

Uma verdadeira obra de arte, cada vez me apaixono mais por esse game e só espero q cresça cada vez mais, tanto a comunidade qnt o jogo

Oh wow. I had never heard of this game, but someone on my Quora feed had embedded this video in an answer for that forum and I've watched it 3 times already, just entranced. The music is gorgeous. And from the comments on the Q answer, it sounds like a game I could really get into (even if it's apparently incredibly frustrating sometimes). If only my PC wasn't a dinosaur... if only they would finish this and release it on PS4... heh, even then I would likely only play it if there's a single player mode. But I might just have to watch more YT vids like yours to enjoy this game from afar!

amazing! what a great video!

This game is very unique and I love it

The last scene is not only a joke but also a beautiful physics.

Been watching this since it came out, love it so much. I love the new thumbnail for this and the winter video (ps: where is the location at 3:46 located?).

This is why everything is better with GOOFY AAH friends.

project zomboid tiene un toque uno, tal vez desolación, esa sensación de inseguridad constante, la historia que armaste con tus amigos, la historia de tu personaje, y demas factores que hacen que project zomboid sea unico

Faz mais vídeos assim...ficou muito bom 👏🏼

I haven’t played this game in a while I might boot it back up for another 20 rapid play throughs

Amazing. You really managed the capture the depressing feeling of the PZ World

Beautiful video.

The best beautiful moment I had in project zomboid is when I had been walking in the woods for like an hour and then I saw a farmhouse, the sun rising

the weather system in this game really changes everything

this is sad and also beautiful.

Wish I could play this game for the first time again.

This is soo RPG man thats amazing

Once i feared the zombies. I hid, and took the inconspicuous trait. Then i got britas weapon pack

Man this makes me wish I had a big group to play zomboid with

so beautiful so cool

For me this game really captured the essense of a zombie apocalypse games unlike other games i know. No other missions but only to survive as long as you can

The brutality of the dead is worse than even the worst man can offer.

Awesome

Ah yes, the only time of year I can’t make it to lol. I always die around October lol

Прекрасное видео! Ждём ещё больше подобного

The beauty of grinding.

Hii, this is an amazing video, i have one question. What mods do you use in the game you made this video about. Do you especially use any of the improved climatic ambience aesthetics? It looks so beautifull the storms, blizzard and ambience and colours in the nigth. Thank you so much.

Beautiful vid

cannot wait for the next major update so i can start my major mod overhaul into fallout :D.

I really need to replay zomboid again i swear

There needs to be zombie movies that have the same atmosphere and feel of PZ.

You should make PZ wallppers about survivors on base or something with this feeling❤

Incredible..

I love the music❤

I was gonna take a break from this game until the NPC's and animals are patched but you made me wanna play it again

Damn your work is so fucking good

This is lovely

Great video!

A perfect game

Masterpiece!

Best game in the zombie genre + best game in the survival genre + best game in the punch a hole through your screen genre
