To celebrate Halloween I'm releasing the final beta of Undead Farmstead 2!

The first update in Beta 2 is that the game should now be playable with a mouse and no keyboard, making one-handed play possible for accessibility. The only exception is Esc to bring up the menu, which I'm looking to fix in the final release. In making this change I have swapped actions to right-click and made movement a left-click. In testing this felt far more natural.

The other significant update is that zombie behaviour has been entirely rebuilt. Up until now, zombies behaved in a very very basic manner, really just a placeholder. Now their behaviour is much more nuanced. You will now be able to see zombies walking onto the map. You will see them move as a herd at times. They wander and get into trouble. They no longer arbitrarily attack every fence they encounter. Your noise level is now far more influential on what happens - keep the noise down and you will have a quiet life in more ways than one!

I really hope you enjoy playing this final beta. Feedback is welcome here, on Discord or Mastodon. I don't know exactly how long now until I make the first release of the final game but I'd like to think I can get it out before the end of the year.
