Newsletter: Info on Part 2-Part 2 (Patreon)

With the release of Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven, Part 2, I posted news that I’m working on a content update. Below, I provide more details on it and discuss plans I have for the series.

Part 2-Part 2

On Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, or the CoG forums, you may have read a list of things I am looking to add to Part 2. As I plan for the update, I have more details to share:

3 missions in chapters 6 and 7: You will be able to visit up to 3 different places:

• A farm, where you can search and scavenge a house, barn, and other common structures on a farm.
• A gas station in which your Driving skill will be important.
• A research station, where you can advance your research on the Zeta virus and/or scavenge for needed items.

Each mission will require taking a few survivors from your group. Some NPCs will be mandatory additions to your group, while some will be optional. You will have chances to socialize with those survivors and enhance or worsen your relationship with them.

Conversations with all NPCs in the open-ended camp scene in chapter 6: while setting up camp in chapter 6, you’ll have the opportunity to talk to each member of your group who remains at the clearing: Church, Dante, Driver, Gina, Jillian, Kelly, Lopez, Nora, Parker, Ray, Rosie, and Reilly. These will be full conversations and even allow you to give them gifts of things you scavenge.

Rosie as a new female-female RO: readers have asked for this, so I will be adding in Rosie, the ex-bandit original member of Dillan’s gang, as a romantic option (RO). Rosie is a gay woman, and therefore will only be an RO for female main characters.

Go on the mission with Nathan/Benji/Kelly to scout in the open-ended camp scene in chapter 6. Many people want to see how Nathan died while scouting outside of camp. Once this mission is added, you will be able to go on the trip to see first-hand how it went down. Realize, this will not change the outcome. As part of a charity auction, one winner was able to create a character and choose that character’s death. Nathan is destined to die in chapter 6, but you can see how the coyotes attacked, learn what Kelly was doing while her teammate was getting attacked, and earn other details not currently in game.

Other little additions people are asking for. For example, I will add in a call from Colonel Goodman of the New Army, provide at least 1 more interaction with your RO, and add other options to existing choices as requested by readers.

Planning for Part 3

People are already asking for a timeline for Part 3. I am not willing to give out projections anymore, but those who support me on Patreon or follow on social media will be able to follow Part 3’s development and find out how it’s progressing along the way.

So, what is planned for Part 3? I don’t want to spoil the plot, but here are some certainties:

You will be able to 

• Learn about Eli and his junkyard.
• Finally arrive at a true safe haven where you can fortify, build, and run as a community of survivors, bandits, raiders, or other archetypes.
• Search lots of locations to scavenge and find new survivors.
• Return to Nightfall to set up SurvNet servers, scavenge, go on missions for the New Army, and more.
• Meet new survivors, some of whom will be ROs.
• Meet up with characters from Parts 1 and 2 not currently in your group.

Also, many readers are speculating that the Silverthornes will be the major adversaries of Part 3. This is not true. While the Silverthornes are a serious threat (or maybe not, depending on the outcome of the first meeting with them), other groups will be met in Part 3 that will present obstacles or opportunities for your group’s survival.

And don’t forget—there’s still a zombie exodus coming.
