There’s also been increasing unrest that the team doesn’t talk to the community enough between updates. But new design director Christian ‘Serellan’ Allen, who joined Project Zomboid developer The Indie Stone in late 2025, is planning to change that.

 New Project Zomboid design director Christian Allen wants to talk to players more as The Indie Stone finalizes build 42 stable.  PCGamesN
