Personally I agree on many of the points that you're making on the areas of the game that need improvement but it is a very young game with a lot of room to get better. Really in this case what it comes down to is overlooking a few visual shortcomings like the animations for building barricades being off to see what's really there; a creative, gritty, and terrifying survival game. The comment about players hoarding and not playing cooperatively is exactly one of the points that the game is making. If people don't cooperate and help each other then people die. Those who think of themselves first and aim only to survive put the group in a moral bind- let then hoard materials or force them to one way or another. If it does come down to a "ghost town" situation then so be it. It's just one more aspect of survival if you look at it from a different perspective. Those still playing will have the sense that they are losing potential teammates and do what they can to keep the community running so that even if the numbers drop the game survives on. The bottom line is that this game has a wonderful concept that is being built upon by a clearly very talented team and I honestly believe that as they make improvements the game will get better and better and with any luck we may see a lot of diversification of the various aspects of the game. To the creators- Thank you for making such an excellent free game to keep me awake at night trying to figure out how best to make it through just one more wave!
