Kevin dropped by the ApocZ forum yesterday and talked in the ChatBox for a bit and gave us an update on what was going on with himself, as well as ApocZ. There are 2 images he provided which are very graphic, so please, view at your own discretion!

Hello,
Work on update 1.3 is continuing with the help of Gamewarden.
Bad news first ?
We are able to reproduce a game breaking bug that would fail the game from peer-review. Because we can reproduce the bug we will eventually get it fixed, its just taking time eliminating different code paths from being the source.
The good news.
We found the bug causing character saves to be over written and got it fixed.
We also found an issue with tents spawning, in some reproducible situations, got that fixed and were able to confirm in testing. As with other fixes on the tents, there could still be code paths that break them.
Feel free to share on the forums and in chat news about the update.
I feel bad for saying I would be on a couple times a week in my last PM. The reality of being in a wheel chair and dealing with some very busted up ankles and hip ( now full of steel! hehe ) turned out to be very demanding. I have a knew appreciation and empathy for folks who are permanently confined to a wheelchair, its not just physical but also very mentally challenging to overcome.
Fortunately for me, my situation is not permanent and I will definitely walk again, its going to take some time.
So I may regret this but here is a link to some pictures of what happened to my right foot, I had mentioned these pictures in chat and need to warn you, view at your own risk. I have another close up picture of the right foot that would make a good zombie texture.
