Today’s is a pretty Simple one. the Game is Project Zomboid. I usually don’t like sharing 2D games because they’re hard to make look presentable, but i also like sharing images that break out of my usual “Here’s a Landscape shot” and wanted to share this. Me and My friend had a cookout in a motel we have a Base in. My Character is a Regular Middle Aged Suburban Dad named Jerry, while his character is My Character’s Adoptive Stoner Son, named Cable. There’s a whole lot more “lore” behind them but that’s the general gist of it.

Amazing game, especially in multiplayer. It's one of my most played games in online game sessions with family and friends.

I’d love to get Server setup for my close friend group but I only have 1 friend who would play it regularly, and only 5 of them even own it. So that probably won’t be happening anytime soon.

Sorry to hear. By the way, you don't even need to set up a server. Anyone can host within the game itself, so it can be a spur of the moment thing. Of the ones who own it, have any of them tried playing it, especially multiplayer? What the game lacks in terms of advanced graphics it more than makes up with gameplay, atmosphere, and depth. Good luck!

Oh yeah. I just meant like a larger scale 24/7 server. Something where I can see it grow when I’m not there

Oh, for sure. My friend ended up setting up a permanent server. It's pretty cool because anyone of us can jump in and play at any time. Although anytime someone does it starts the clock ticking forward, which leads to consequences, as I'm sure you're aware.
