[/p][p]During this time, feel free to scavenge junk, build bases, and either mess with or team up with your friends (your choice). [/p][p]After the test ends, servers will close temporarily while we review all your feedback—because in the apocalypse, even complaints are precious resources.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]Will there be more playtests in the future? How can I join?[/b] [/p][p]Absolutely! Surviving the apocalypse takes more than one try. [/p][p]We’ll host more playtests with new gameplay and updates in the future. All announcements will be shared on [b]YouTube, Discord, Facebook, Instagram[/b],[b] and X[/b]. [/p][p]Follow us there if you want a first-class ticket to the next safe zone—after all, staying informed is a survival skill in [b]Zeverland[/b].[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]Do I need to sign an NDA?[/b] [/p][p]Yes! The game is still in a [i]very[/i] early stage—some parts are practically running around “naked.” [/p][p]This Playtest is more of a [b]gameplay experiment[/b] than a sightseeing tour, so we’ll ask all participants to sign an [b]NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)[/b]. That means please don’t post or share gameplay videos, screenshots, or content publicly for now. [/p][p]Of course, we [i]do[/i] want to hear your ideas and feedback—in Zeverland, even a single complaint could be the seed of a new world.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]Will my in-game progress be saved?[/b] [/p][p]Nope! All data will be wiped once the test ends. [/p][p]This round is about [i]how[/i] you survive, not [i]how much[/i] you build. [/p][p]But don’t worry—the memories of exploring, raiding, trolling, and rebuilding together will stay. [/p][p]Your clever ideas (and hilarious survival tactics) might even “respawn” in future versions.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]What’s the plan for future updates? Will there be private servers?[/b] [/p][p]Zeverland is still in its early development stage, and we’re a long way from the full release. [/p][p]We plan to release [b]new content through DLCs[/b], each one packed with “Wait, you added [i]that[/i]?!” surprises. To ensure a stable connection and consistent world experience, [b]all servers will be officially hosted[/b]—because every player’s choices and actions will shape how that world ends (or survives). [/p][p]And just to be clear: [b]Zeverland will not support custom or private servers.[/b] We want everyone to play in one shared, evolving world where cooperation, betrayal, and chaos intertwine to decide each server’s final fate.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]What languages does the game support?[/b] [/p][p]For now, [b]Zeverland[/b] supports [b]Simplified Chinese [/b]and [b]English[/b] only. It’s just the start of the apocalypse, so let’s make sure survivors can understand each other’s distress calls first. [/p][p]More languages will be added later, so players around the world can say hi (or throw things at each other) in the same ruins.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]Where can I submit my feedback?[/b] [/p][p]You can press [b]ESC[/b] in-game and find the [b]Feedback[/b] option in the menu. Or you can fill out our [b]feedback form [/b]here: [url="https://forms.gle/CNg1rdTtaeaH1Sms7"]https://forms.gle/CNg1rdTtaeaH1Sms7[/url][/p][p]Whether it’s a bug, suggestion, or a simple “not my fault” complaint—we want to hear it. [/p][p]In the apocalypse, every message is a signal for hope.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]Is there PvP in the game?[/b] [/p][p]Yes, but we don’t exactly [i]encourage[/i] it. If you [i]really[/i] want to settle a dispute with bullets, the system won’t stop you—but keep in mind that base protection is still under development. [/p][p]We hope players can meet with a bit more kindness and a few less “accidental headshots.” [/p][p]In Zeverland, survival has many forms—and sometimes sparing someone is just as cool as defeating them.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]How can I stay up to date with Zeverland news?[/b] [/p][p]Follow our [b]official Discord[/b] and other social channels for the latest updates, including:[/p][list][*][p]Playtest announcements[/p][/*][*][p]Patch notes[/p][/*][*][p]Future recruitment info Because in Zeverland, the more you know, the fewer zombies catch you off guard.

Poop.[/p][/*][/list][p]In short, this playtest lets you experience [b]the very beginning of the apocalypse[/b]. The deeper systems and advanced gameplay will roll out in future updates.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]What are the recommended PC specs?[/b][/p][list][*][p][b]OS:[/b] Windows 10 or later (64-bit)[/p][/*][*][p][b]Processor:[/b] i7-9700K / Ryzen 5 5600G or equivalent[/p][/*][*][p][b]Memory:[/b] 16 GB RAM[/p][/*][*][p][b]Graphics:[/b] GeForce RTX 3060 / Radeon RX 5700 XT or equivalent[/p][/*][*][p][b]DirectX:[/b] Version 11[/p][/*][*][p][b]Network:[/b] Broadband Internet connection[/p][/*][*][p][b]Storage:[/b] 40 GB available space[/p][/*][/list][p]These specs are just for the Alpha—future optimization will make sure more survivors can join the fun.[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]What should I do if I encounter a blocking bug during the test?[/b] [/p][p]If your character gets stuck and can’t move, try using the in-game [b]“Self-Terminate”[/b] button to escape. If that doesn’t work, or if you encounter other bugs, please contact the staff via [b]Discord[/b].[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]How can I meet other players in the game?[/b] [/p][p]During this playtest, in-game voice and text chat aren’t available yet (yeah… we know, we want it too 😭). If you’d like to team up with friends—or maybe that one cool survivor you just met—just [b]remember their name[/b] and press [b]U[/b] in-game to open the Shelter & Team menu. [/p][p]Players in the same Shelter share their home location, and teammates can see each other’s live positions and mission progress.[/p][p]Wanna actually [i]talk[/i] (or scream) together? Join our Discord server—it’s where the real survivors hang out! 💬[/p][p][/p][/*][*][p][b]I enjoyed the Playtest! How can I support the dev team?[/b] [/p][p]Zeverland is still in its early stage, but we’ve poured a lot of heart into delivering what we promised in the trailers. [/p][p]Some parts may still be rough, but we hope you can see our effort. [/p][p]If you had fun or believe in the direction we’re heading, let us know! We welcome all feedback—praise, advice, or even a well-aimed roast. [/p][p]And of course, if you’d like to [b]add Zeverland to your Steam wishlist[/b], that would mean the world to us! [/p][p]It helps more survivors discover this noisy, chaotic, and wonderfully weird apocalypse.[/p][/*][/olist]
