Zombs are very important thematically to the game. They represent the feeling of doing (environmental) science in a world where many people are actively antagonistic toward that endeavor. It is important to me to have this friction in the game. It is also important that you cannot really just attack zombs, you must learn to live with them.
Plus, they are a life form that you can manage and that can have an important impact on the ecosystem.
There are MANY things you can do to deal with the zombs. Check the tool, item, and task descriptions for hints. Or ask on the Vilmonic Discord: https://discord.gg/vilmonic
Seconding the removal / alteration request... They spontaneously attack me, I died twice while trying to mind my own business, and the debuff that makes my screen hard to read made it so I effectively could only play the game around half the time with very little benefit. It significantly disrupts the crafting / exploring angle of the game, and got me to uninstall rather than fight with it.
Maybe the tutorial could have more specific hints about how to deal with them, so people don't just grab an axe? Or, maybe I'm not the target demographic...
Some SPOILERS here: Evolve red fungs so you can craft Cola (an instant cure for zombiton haywirefication). Stay out of their eyesight, cross water when they are chasing you, or stop moving (they only see movement). The small hammer stuns them but doesn't kill them. Blowing bubbles sooths zombs. Place their favorite dungeon tiles off to the side out of the way. Or evolve some carnivores!
I like the idea of tutorial tasks to help learn how to deal with the zombs!
I kept adding new items to this release, but had to force myself to stop and roll some of them out for the next update. I made changes to the nutrient-use system, which required SO MUCH balance testing, basically me running loads of simulations (i.e. games) and checking statistics to make sure I didn't mess anything up. Still no DNA tweaking in this update, I just can't figure out how I want to implement it in a way that doesn't feel like a cheat - but soon!
So what's new?
* New dungeon walls and floors! They're now the zombs favorite structures. * Toxic waste is now a crafting material. * Added tables and chairs. * Added more avatar body parts. * You can now analyze zombs (beta). * More stuff to craft, like the Fungiburger! Plop one on the ground and your anims will eat it up. Or feed one directly to your anims if their health is low. Or eat one yourself if your health is low. Or eat one if you just want a snack. * Other stuff...
A quick post to let you know that I'm finishing up the next update which will include a new crafting material (hint: it's toxic) and some new craftables (for the home and office and home office) and new body parts! Also, have you ever wondered what's going on inside the mind of those zombs? This update will begin to shed some light (just a bit, for now).
Try out the new Camera! Build one, or if you are lucky, dig one up. Document your world and all of its changes. Then export and share your photos.
There's a new beverage: Revolt™ soda. Drink some if you are (hint) antisocial.
This version contains a lot of behind-the-scenes changes to anim and especially fungol biology.
WARNING: This will cause a bunch of your fungs to die off! Don't worry though, the species that survive will grow back pretty quickly. Consider this the First Great Extinction event in Vilmonic.
These changes were necessary so that in future updates I can start adding features that allow players to view and modify the internal biology of creatures in the world. This will make possible features like an x-ray machine, syringes for extracting DNA, gene splicing, etc.
The Vilmonic simulator now has much more complex model of nutrients and hydration.
One example of this is that creatures now return their nutrients to the soil as fertilizer when they die. So if you have some fungols that need more nutrients, try planting them where something has died (including zombs). Currently fertilizer in a location is used up in the first stage of fungol growth, so it only really helps germination.
As always, let me know what you think of these changes.
also more bludgeonsoft: all items must be paid for version: 0.26.00 on: vendemonic on android
and if you don't have money what will you play the game: you have to dig to find these items!! Example: When you dig you find an empty bottle, You have every chance: common things are easy, artifacts: medium, vendmonic items or difficult artifacts are difficult.

Just don't attack them!

Thank you for the spoilers-- I'll probably try to give the game another shot. I wasn't sure how to get red fungs, since I only had green ones.
<3 Thank you!
Awesome game, does the purchase come with a steam key?
I don't think I can, being that Vilmonic is also on sale on Steam for 10% off.
Congrats! Your the Most popular Artificial Intelligence game on Itch.io! hope you can hold that title for a while

Really neat little game! I wasn't quite sure how to build walls, but do plan on doing more tinkering with it!
Love this game, I just bought it after I did a review of the demo! You can find it here: https://youtu.be/U6tnauWG-6c
YES! I love the review. It's so much fun (and informative) to see someone else play the game. Thanks for supporting this project!
