Yeah this game has changed a LOT during my playtime.
Like there's a whole bunch of customization with MOLLE pockets and guns. They changed how mutations work and bionics while adding and expanding on NPC factions.
One thing that stood out to me which was new was how the vehicle appliances now work, you don't need a bunch of different appliances installed onto different vehicle blocks, instead you get the kitchen unit then plug in tools to it allowing you to customize the whole thing.
Well there already was a form of the 'Kitchen buddy' and with the Forge buddy you only really needed those 2 for most things.
@@pbsixgun6 yeah, it kinda threw me off when I saw meth vans with kitchen units until I realized the only thing installed on them was a chemistry set.
So, if you download the launcher, you can select the Bright Nights fork of the game. This is being developed by a different group who want to shift focus of the game back to what it used to be originally. Dark Days leans heavily towards realism and simulation, while Bright Nights aims more for fun gameplay and heavy sci-fi influences.
Now I know how to survive a lot better in CDDA by now, the hardest thing for me is figuring out a story and end goal for my character.
great game, absolute certified classic
Project Zomboid and CDDA, awesome games for different reasons. They are the best zombie games that get living in this type of world right.
Here’s the movie I was talking about, Death Race 2000: ua-cam.com/video/F2GEKV1dOgY/v-deo.htmlsi=lH4yqElD-h31LQeQ
3:01 - you are on the path to the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in this cabin...
50:00 very brave of you to drive on a motorcycle at night with no light
The episodes when we get to see Nook play CDDA and DF are indeed the best ones. Thanks man!
I'm a simple man, I see CDDA, I click upvote.
"Upvote" ok chud.
@@scoopidywhoop7484wtf is a chud
I love this infinite possibility
I'm so happy your playing this. This game is awesome 👌
Your character is surviving longer than my first few!😅😂
I started in the evac shelter one time, walked out to pick up a rock, and a cougar killed me. I lasted about 15 seconds in the game.
ahhh yes, CDDA, the Dwarf Fortress equivalent to Project Zomboid. except here you dont loose the game if you get infected.
Instead, you will lose if you don't know what that specific monster/item/status does. But that's the good side of the game :)
One of my friends recommended this game to me and I Am so lost after making a character (that part was fun) but after putting that together and starting the game I Was lost!!! Ahahahaha. Hopefully watchin you play may inspire me once again! Thanks!
The constant stops to talk to stream is what made me remember why I hate twitch Re uploads
The Twitch VOD was totally borked btw. I was trying to watch it last night, and it had no sound and was doing like...1 second every 1-2 minutes. lol, It seemed to be in some weird time-warp field.
Strange, the full stream VOD or the highlight?
The full stream. It could have just been a Twitch thing but I switched to a live stream and it was fine.@@Nookrium
This game is awesome, you should play more or make a series. Make a character and try to survive.
The only game that can scratch that supernatural apocalypse itch we all have deep inside, using magiclysm, arcana and mind over matter mod makes things way different and better
just wish there were more complete tilesets , most of the ppl I tried introducing to this game gets turned off when they see a strange ASCII symbol in the middle of their game(or when their magiclysm spell doesnt launch ice bolts ot somesuch) , still, great, addictive game.
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE NOOK PLAYED THIS! My friends and I have been playing this for a few months now
Glad you stumbled onto this, one of my all time favorites
I treat this game as hunting season, where I hunt giant mutations or huge ass carnivorous bipedal dinosaurs.
will you be continuing with CDDA? really like this game but man is it hard to figure out and remember would love a guided let's play with a end goal for the character
I tried the game through the catapult launcher, but can't reload a save. What am I doing wrong--I have save files, but the game doesn't seem to see them?
If you find this game in Steam dont buy it. Steam version is abandoned.
its not quite abandoned its just that they are waiting for the next stable version to push to steam.
@@underscorecow-gaming4486lol stable version is just a name, some experimental ones are more stable and have less bugs. Also they could have had experimental branch on steam as a separate branch, but whoever put it there is too lazy for that, he just wanted a quick buck
@@mw00295 stable isnt just about stability, its about systems being fully fleshed out and finished before being put on stable, like the reworks to how you obtain bionics and mutations.
Experimental is exactly what it's name implies, it's full of incomplete ideas and is often not compatible with mods. It's a workspace and can break saves randomly, hence why stable is called stable.
Also the Steam version exists solely for the purpose to be able to contribute financially. Not all devs do this for a quick buck, this allows people to have the money for daily life freeing up time and hopefully getting a better quality game, it is true that this tactic is popular amongst money greedy people but that's not what it's intended for.
The steam version is there for anyone who wants to support the project financially, also to market the game to others who might be interested but would have otherwise not known about the game. a Lot of people only look for games on certain platforms. Thanks for showcasing, I didnt' know they made a graphical version of the game. Last time i played it years ago it was still ascii
I repeat this again. Don't buy the game on Steam. All the money goes to just one person - Korgent, who published it on Steam, and who is no longer working on the game. Active and former contributors to the game do not receive a percentage of the profits. If you REALLY want to help the game, the best thing you can do is simply recommend it to your friends, look for bugs, and if you have experience in programming, then directly help develop the game further.
@@knyaz770 So what license is the game on and who OWNs the license for the game? If the game was published in the Open Source license then the active developers should be able to get the game taken down on steam. As that would violate the license. Or at very least whom ever group is running the original Cataclysm site where they are publishing the game. So that begs the question why are they allowing a random old dev to sell it on steam?
@@kernsanders3973 Because the “main developers” of the game decided so. And they allowed Korgent to sell it on Steam. I didn’t delve too deeply into this situation, but what I understood is that the game’s license allows ABSOLUTELY anyone to sell this game. As long as it credits the original authors. I know it sounds pretty crazy, but it's true.
And Korgent (the one who sells this game on Steam) has not released a single update for half a year, not only for the Steam version, but also for the game in general. Basically, he just posted it to get money from people who just want to support this wonderful game... but they don't understand that the money won't go to the team, but to a person who doesn't even work on the game anymore. It's just crazy.
@@kernsanders3973 because Korgent has explicit permission from (most of) the lead dev team, plus the license explicitly allows repacking the game for commercial use - another person tried putting the game on steam in the past, but couldn't pay the publishing fees (or something like that) iirc. when you buy the game on steam you are paying for the "convienience" of auto-updates between stable versions and the work put into listing the game + steam achievements. IMHO, @knyaz770 has it right.
@@kernsanders3973The license allows this legally, and the "inner circle" of older devs gave their blessing to the steam publishing. It caused some major fuss at the time because the development is made by a lot of contributors, and those didn't have a say in this decision. But anyway, the steam release is technically legal.
one of the few "games-of-the-century"
maximum overdrive? movie all the cars come to life and yeah ...
the apocalypse is WHAT
apparently there's a fork? whats the difference? Ive completely missed this game and wondering which is the version to start with?
Try Bright Nights. There is less content but more QoL things.
I played Bright Nights last year: ua-cam.com/video/LamSr1LlSUo/v-deo.htmlsi=T_CoVCOs22w2KEET
The Bright Nights fork focuses on gameplay over tedium. It also has LUA modding support and Kenan's giant mod repository, so the content is different and more customizable, but not lesser.
Dark days ahead is more realistic
Bright nights is more cute safe and easier, also more SCF-FI based
@@Fallout3131 DDA is more "realismic", not realistic. It punishes the player with realism as an excuse. Like taking days to stitch up a pair of gloves because you sdon't have button holing proficiency or whatever. Complete LOL on the "realism".
love it
too bad the game don't work anymore, apparently lmao
Myself and many others just, open the game after installing it using the Catapult launcher and it just, doesn't work. Opens, immediately closes. I guess everyone just wants us to play the watered down Bright Nights
Dr. Disnook?
I play Magiclysm, and I bought it on steam to support the game!
Pyromaniac? That's an unplayable troll mutation lol
You buy the game on Steam to support the game. Until now, I didn't realize it _was_ on Steam, so thanks for that, Nook. I will definitely be buying it! But maybe I'll keep playing my current game, anyway? :)
If you buy a game on Steam, you are not supporting the current development team, but one person (Korgent) who is no longer even working on the game. So the best thing I can advise you is to continue playing the current version of the game and not buy it on Steam.
@@knyaz770
How can one person sell a game on Steam that he doesn't even own? Steam has _some_ restrictions on that, right? I know developers have to jump through hoops in order to sell on Steam (though I don't know what those hoops actually are).
On the other hand, anyone can say anything in a UA-cam comment. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying that I have no reason to believe that, since I don't even know you. And if someone is selling a game on Steam that they don't own and aren't developing, Steam needs to know about that, I'd think.
@@Bill_Garthright Well, this will probably sound surprising, but the CDDA license allows you to sell this game to anyone, anywhere, and for as much as you want. The only condition you must comply with is to indicate all past and present authors who contributed to this game.
Understand me, I’m not against CDDA on Steam, perhaps I’m even for this idea! But not in the implementation that we have now.
@@knyaz770
That _is_ surprising.
So,... anyone want to buy a game? :)
Seriously, thanks for the info.
@@Bill_Garthright Don't just take anyone on UA-cam's word for it, look into yourself
Death Race
nvm just saw someone said it lol
Death Race 2000 to be specific
@@Nookrium ..With David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone etc. Mid 70s IIRC
Great game, awful developers.
They ban people on their discord who don't share their political or "moral" views. Disgusting.
what views?
@@popereptillianlord6174 they dont allow homophobia and stuff
@@yandere8888That seems pretty reasonable?
@@guidedexplosiveprojectileg9943 yea
man, that first joke was tery-ble!
When the apocalypse is AMONG US
I dont get it
telling my kids this is what games looked like in 2023
DDA gets worse with every update. Content is cut out, lgbt-colored things are added instead, balance and optimization are broken. And the money from the steam version does not go to the developers, but to a single, inactive person. If you need a normal experience of playing catclysm, welcome to BN.
the most terrible tile set, I don't know who uses it and why, when there have undeadpeople
I don't know who would use tilesets when we have beautiful ASCII
Lol undead is dead and the original creator is a whiny snowflake. Ultica is being constantly updated and worked on.
UndeadPeople is the default for the Bright Nights fork, aka the best version.
@@CC-qx7hk What do you mean by UPT is dead? The tileset is still actively developed by the community, both for DDA and BN. It also has tiles for the most popular mods.
@@JBloodthornew a BN user
Why would you buy the Steam version when there's a free one? What kind of question is that? Maybe to support a developer who has and continues to provide likely a combined hundreds of thousands of hours of fun to people for no cost? Or even just the convenience of having it on Steam? Come on, my guy.
The steam profits go to a single senior dev, who hasn't contributed to the project in quite some time.
Misleading title. This is not a free game at all. It costs $20 USD and for the terrible graphics I can see what it isn’t selling. This is something you’d more likely find for $4.99
Check the link in the description, it’ll take you to the free version that I’m playing here. You’re looking at the $20 Steam version
Can you tell me what it's like back in 1985 where Google hasn't been invented yet? Lmao, dude went straight to Steam, went nowhere else, and then came to bitch.
Title is FAR from misleading. If you pay $20 to give money to ONE dev then that I'd your problem. It's a free game. Period.
You are a goofy goober of the highest caliber
@Nookrium - Steam helps to fund the development of the game
1000+ people worked on this free game. Steam money goes to ONE person who barely contributed these past years...
