Time for another Q&A on The Last Stand: Union City. Developer Con Artist is releasing more and more information as the expected release date gets nearer.

The game should be out either this or next month, but there’s always the possibility of a delay as we’ve seen in the past with other games. We can say that with the currently available information, this title is destined to become the new standard in its genre and top the ranking and number of gameplays list. Read the Q&A below for answers on the most common questions!

Q: Multiplayer / Co-op?
A: No, no no, no. No. No?

Q: Is there a melee shove?
A: I’m working on that at the moment. Seems to be working well, just need to make it look good.

Q: Will zombies adjust to my level?
A: Certain areas will have certain zombie types that will be tougher/easier than others. In general though, zombie health and base zombie types will be spawned according to your character level.

Q: Achievements?
A: Yes. They may even tie to giving your character bonus weapons/equipment.

Q: Can my character and other survivors become infected?
A: We’ll have to see.

Q: Will there be barricade defence like the last two games?
A: Not in the same way, there’ll be barricades throughout the world that you may choose to hole up behind.

Q: Will the game be downloadable?
A: No. This comes down to me needing to make a living off this stuff. If it’s downloadable, I can’t run the dynamic ads I run now, no ads, no food.

Q: How many equipped weapons can I have?
A: You’ll be able to equip two at a time, but you’ll be able to hold as many as you can within your weight limit.

Q: Is running out of ammo going to be an issue?
A: The plan is for ammo depletion to be a problem at some times during the game, but not to the point where you’re constantly running out. I know where the fun lies in the game (shooting zombies) and don’t want the need to search for ammo to get in the way of that too often. It’ll likely come down to some weapons having ammunition more readily available and powerful/abstract weapons having rarer ammunition.

Q: How many in game days will there be?
A: I kind of answered this in the last Q&A, but it’s really up to how you play. There’ll be certain missions that trigger an end game which will have a very definite path towards ending the game, if you don’t follow that, you can run around as long as you like.

Q: How will I interact with survivors?
A: As I mentioned, you’ll be able to talk to them to get their stories. These stories might give you missions/quests that you need to carry out to gain their help. Others might just be after specific items in return for something useful of theirs.
