3D Isometric is what we need actually

Post image

The current work on ViewPoint is truly fantastic, and this progress makes me genuinely happy.

Ever since I started playing with the isometric module, neither TPS (third-person) nor FPS (first-person) perspectives satisfy me anymore. This is exactly what we need, though it still requires a bit more refinement.

When entering a new chunk, sometimes walls that should be hidden remain visible, or areas that ought to be in view stay obscured—I’ve been bitten by zombies a few times because of this.

Furthermore, in the vanilla version, you can see inside buildings when looking through windows, but that isn't possible in ViewPoint’s isometric mode.

Also, interacting with shelves, cabinets, and crates is quite difficult. Additionally, when using the "place" command, there’s no way to see exactly where an item is being positioned.

Aside from these issues, after playing this way, going back to vanilla Zomboid is simply out of the question for me. The modders have truly taken this game to a much better place than the original developers ever did.

The absolute fucking gall to say it while the mod obviously uses AI too, outfuckingstanding audacity honestly, it's almost impressive

Yall gonna be mad so me for saying this, but very little coding gets done anymore without AI. Big tech, small tech, personal projects, ect, they all use AI now. You can be anti AI all you want but genuinely consider piping down, you’re ignorant and nobody wants to hear it lol.

I do not care that you're stuck in a pithy mental war against the "tribe" you dislike, so in fact you can pipe down and sit the fuck down too

The context is that the game was made from the ground up with hard work and somebody comes along with unoptimized bloated vibe code and claims they've done more than the developers ever have
