Okay yeah I feel like that death was pretty bullshit, I hope they change it so you can climb up and down ropes at your own pace. Imagine climbing down a rope and seeing a dozen zombies at the bottom and just going "Welp, I have committed to this action, momma didn't raise a quitter!" instead of climbing right back up. Just video game things.
Reminds me of how I once lost a character because he started climbing a rope I hadn't even seen when I tried going through a ground floor window. Unfortunately, this rope led me to a small, room with 4 zombies, and in my panic I tried to head back through the window instead of attempting to fight. 'Cept it refused to work for some reason and it refused to let me get back through despite my spamming. Being able to stop myself from climbing that bloody rope would have been quite nice indeed.
Yah I can also relate with that(but on a different game, called Rain World) where the Rain deer do not always listen to you( Most of the time they don't listen, so you end up waiting for the rain to come to end your misery or have a vulture or wormgrass to kill you.) I have the dlc of the game as well and I can't really tell if they improved the Rain deer Ai, so I just got 2 mods where 1. I can just control the Rain deer with arrow keys or 2. Turn off worm grass to attack you as most of area can be walk through then.
Watching your character climb down a sheet rope to their doom while being powerless to stop it is truly one of the Project Zomboid moments of all time.
Have my eyes failed me or I see another descent of Gerald Williams a.k.a. the Worm Man on Earth. He found it too simple to beat a mere apocalypse, so he has decided to open a new page by taking up another challenge. He also is so humble as to relinquish his former titles and accept a new name. Thank you, AA, you are the best!
As a heads up, in the "you have one day" challenge, the zombies are alerted to your position every time you move tiles. They knew where you were at all times, so every time you gave them a path to you they all instantly started funneling for you.
I missed Worm Man more than anything. I've watched the worm man playlist so many times, the editing and narrative format of the Worm Saga is so good. Praise the return of Worm Man.
Loved your video series with "Gerald" back in the day, that's how I originally got into this game. Wouldn't mind another series following a new character, I don't think you need to handicap them so severely either. Keep up the great work!
Leave it to AmbiguousAmphibian to show us all why there’s mods for the sheet rope climbing. The game’s view range and the blindness of descent are a double whammy. I’d recommend using the mod that lets you stop and change direction, I’m fairly certain this was what it was made for
What the game really needs is an industrial grinder/hammer mill and conveyor belts. You build a ramp up to the grinder and build a narrow passage to it, forcing the zombies to go single file up the ramp, and use some kind of barrier to force them to go that way to get to it. The belt goes under the bottom of the grinder; zombie slurry goes onto the belt and gets yeeted off into a burn pit/pile. Then you hang a radio over the pit, out of reach, and turn it on at max volume. Then you go hide somewhere and wait for the zombies to clear themselves out.
Yaaay, Project Zomboid again! Every time I have a really bad day I just have a marathon of watching the story of Gerald Williams. No time is wasted if I'm having fun. That's the rule.
i've done this sort of thing with decaying winter, the last strandeds mode and the only things i can get after night 1 is blueprints, ammunition, and things to immediately throw into the scrapper, unfortunately the furthest i've gotten is the scavenging phase before the boss wave (yeah i died to the bad business fools)
Apparently there is a mod that allows you to climb up and down ropes at will, instead of having to commit to the action fully. It's called "rope climbing and jumping".
it is so fascinating to see the growth from the humble worm man all to this lad you have crafted, with the ability to call the horde with a single yell, a true champion to the bitter end
I still love this format and i hope you keep making them! I just can't get into streams when i could just be playing the game myself (unless I'm just looking for general familiarization). Keep it up Amphibuous Ambigian 👍
Awesome episode AA, please do more like these, I love a good challenge run. Its crazy how well you can do with a character with many negative traits. I do PZ runs with far more positive traits and don't do half as well, like the supplies rng was great right there.
Obviously not a hard challenge but you could definitely live out the "what if you where all alone one day" scenario in zomboid by turning off all zombies
Hey, AA. just want to thank you for all the delicious content. I suffer from regular, crippling migraines and, while I can't always watch your videos, I do love to listen to them. You have a very calming voice and your narratives are always entertaining.
God, I would be SO PISSED if I went down and saw that. There’s no option to stop climbing and yet the zombies can attack you before you even touch the ground???
I know it wouldnt be as fun a challenge the next time now that you have an idea of what to do. But woild be really neat to see if you could do this with the added challenge of how many you can take out before dying, or maybe even seeing if you can defeat the horde with such a terrible start.
Insanely lucky for the sledgehammer. For people who haven't played Zomboid, many have gone through entire runs searching the entire map for a sledgehammer and not found one. AA was not exaggerating
If you manage to find a sledgehammer for this challenge, knock out the stairs for every 2+story building you can... that way you wont have to do it when you bridge to those buildings later
Dude... That ending is pain... So there's no "Stop" or "go back up" button? A "look where you're going" button would also be good. "Look down hole" or "Look up". Aaaaagh, PAIN... Good run though. In my eyes, you had it. I consider this a win for you.
Woah this is really cool!!! I never thought i'd see the day when you made a video about me. I feel so humbled and weird. At least I can just go as myself the next time we have a convention. I'm sure at least one person will recognize me now.
Hey there you fancy lizard you. I've recently been playing around with an idea, now it might not be your cup of tea anymore, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway. Using the dynamic trait/More trait - dynamic submod, create a character that has your true and tested, all negative traits, with a caveat, only use negative traits that can be dynamically removed through self-improvement, create a truly From zero to Hero character as you become better in face of adversity of not only the apocalypse but also yourself.
Ngl i hate waking up to the 5 hour streams cuz youtube cursed me with your channel but i did find i slowly did like when i got to watch wild moments at random so noice
Ah that old way to die ,,, happened to me once and i installed the climb up and down sheet rope mod as this makes sense that you should be able to climb back up if you spot danger below ..
One thing that always bothered me about the Smoker trait is that if you don't smoke it just gets worse and worse and never gets better. But after 3 weeks it should start to get better, I think, so you can start as a smoker and then quit gradually over time. Perhaps the punishments while not smoking could be more severe. But you do eventually get over your cravings (speaking as a smoker). Maybe they could even add something where if you find cigarettes even after quitting, your character can smoke them of their own volition and you can't stop them. So then you're hooked again and back to square one. Like when you have a weak moment IRL and have one and then you're just back to doing it again. Speaking as a long time smoker, it's really only the first 3-7 days you feel anxious/irritable. After that you're more or less dealing with the habit and some weak moments. If you can make it to 3 weeks you almost completely forget about reaching for a cigarette. But that feeling of WANTING to smoke never goes away, sadly. Like you get over the addiction but your brain still remembers how much it loves nicotine, so you just always have that nagging feeling that you'd love a smoke. Maybe after a bad day, or a particularly good day, or a good meal. You just think "fuck, I'd love to round this off with a smoke". That never goes away.
You should get mods that have more traits. You'll maybe end up with 200+ trait points if you go only negative traits, but you'll have a helluva ride. Probably should avoid the paraplegic one.
AA, and the team, please could we have more Zomboid and Rimworld. You play those titles like no other, and irs a pleasure to see every video. Stay slimey my moist manfrog.
I thought this challenge mode had the zoms know where you were at all times. I guess it takes a few moments for them to get the memo since there's so many of them lmao
Would you ever consider doing another series for Zomboid like the zero to hero series (doesn't have to be the same "challenge" necessarily) if not why? (I.e. is it an analytics sort of thing, loss of interest, or just busy doing other content etc.?)

I love how he just descends down despite seeing 50 zombies, they should add controls to halt movement mid way or ascend back
Ikr or maybe a movement to just look over the edge before so you can see where you're going before descending
fr i dont think thats unreasonable
that will be another 10 years
it would be quicker to learn how to mod and actually make your own "climbing back up on sheet ropes" mod than waiting for it to be added in the game
im pretty sure theres already a mod for that, i cant remember the name though.
EDIT: The mod is called Rope Climbing & Jumping

I can’t wait for the Project Zomboid All Positive Traits and GodMode playthrough on April 1st.
😀
Nice to see ya here Jabo, truly cultured.
I'd love to see how Psychopath trait, the terminator trait, and Berserker trait all work together.
Jabo watches PZ content? Thought you couldn't get cooler
Watching your character climb down a sheet rope to their doom while being powerless to stop it is truly one of the Project Zomboid moments of all time.
That mod is called: Rope Climbing & Jumping
workshopID: 3002239837
it does all that and lets you jump from it halfway
FR
lol
Ironic, the defect that killed negative traits man was the one shared by all Zomboid survivors, the inability to look down.
You have to admire that kind of resolve. "No, I've already committed to climbing down this rope. I would never second-guess myself and stop halfway."
That mod is called: Rope Climbing & Jumping
workshopID: 3002239837

Bring back the Project Zomboid storytelling videos where you narrate your struggles. Those were ASMR for the soul.
IKR?! They honestly got me through some rough times. AA is doin the lawd's work in Louisville.
OK
@@ambiguousamphibianReally? Let’s go! Also keep Gymnopédie (was that the song you used?) in those videos, it’s really calming
yay!@@ambiguousamphibian
@@ambiguousamphibian MY man 🤙
Rimworld too, if you're feeling so inclined lol
I like the idea that this guy didn't even know the zombie apocalypse was starting yet. He just woke up in his own bedroom and immediately panicked
Sometimes the key to stand unmoved by the world's problems is to cultivate even bigger _personal_ problems😅
28 Days Later if Cillian Murphy had anxiety

@@ambiguousamphibian Awesome, thanks AA. Hope it goes well for you, looking forward to it!
Your narrated Project Zomboid videos from a few years back were legitimately some of the best video game video series on all of TH-cam. Do some again!
A voice in the crowd, but I'm really happy you're going back to this kind of editing and zomboid. I love the way you narrate events.
Watching the zombies fall through the holes in the floor made me laugh every time without fail
This man's storytelling is unmatched.

Your content is comforting and nice to watch always. I’d happily watch you play any game you felt like playing with your narrative voice
if only Amphibian could roll out Zomboid vids like a factory. The story telling!
i've done this sort of thing with decaying winter, the last strandeds mode and the only things i can get after night 1 is blueprints, ammunition, and things to immediately throw into the scrapper, unfortunately the furthest i've gotten is the scavenging phase before the boss wave (yeah i died to the bad business fools)
So good to see a classic PZ style video, love all the newest videos too, but its nice to see this classic game come back every so often!
Apparently there is a mod that allows you to climb up and down ropes at will, instead of having to commit to the action fully. It's called "rope climbing and jumping".
I mean this in the best possible way, your videos are amazing to fall asleep to. Your voice and narration are just really relaxing.
it is so fascinating to see the growth from the humble worm man all to this lad you have crafted, with the ability to call the horde with a single yell, a true champion to the bitter end
0:24 “wow this is literally me”
I too, would stop by the diner to eat a gallon of icecream while prepping for the apocalypse
I still love this format and i hope you keep making them! I just can't get into streams when i could just be playing the game myself (unless I'm just looking for general familiarization).
Keep it up Amphibuous Ambigian 👍
Awesome episode AA, please do more like these, I love a good challenge run. Its crazy how well you can do with a character with many negative traits. I do PZ runs with far more positive traits and don't do half as well, like the supplies rng was great right there.
You do not understand the joy I feel, watching another zombiod video with AAs storytelling
Obviously not a hard challenge but you could definitely live out the "what if you where all alone one day" scenario in zomboid by turning off all zombies
He came back when we needed him most
These survival challenges are always fun. Thanks AA.
YO THE PHILOSOPHICAL ZOMBOID VIDEOS ARE BACK!
This is going to be hell I just know it.
Hey, AA. just want to thank you for all the delicious content. I suffer from regular, crippling migraines and, while I can't always watch your videos, I do love to listen to them. You have a very calming voice and your narratives are always entertaining.
God, I would be SO PISSED if I went down and saw that.

Finally a gameplay I can relate to on a personal level!
I know it wouldnt be as fun a challenge the next time now that you have an idea of what to do.
But woild be really neat to see if you could do this with the added challenge of how many you can take out before dying, or maybe even seeing if you can defeat the horde with such a terrible start.
This is exciting i have literally started rewatching the earlier series this week!!
Ah yes, perfect. A new zomboid video to ignore my responsibilities with
I love your new format of short one episode challenges, but I really enjoyed the longer series... maybe you should make some more of those too...
i missed you're project zomboid content, loved this one.
You should link the VOD channel in the description or on this TH-cam channel somewhere. I was looking for a link to tap on mobile.
The Cucco noises for the zombies were amazing. Once again a great video.
Loved this story telling. This was really fun.
You got me to buy PZ about a year ago and Ive been loving and playing it since. Thanks for the entertaining and insightful content
This was an epic story. maybe you could do a multiplayer version of this, "the rooftop clan".
I adore PZ videos (even though I'm too scared to play). They soothe me to sleep when I have trouble entering the land of Hypnos.
He was born a chain smoker, with a pack in his hand.
Insanely lucky for the sledgehammer. For people who haven't played Zomboid, many have gone through entire runs searching the entire map for a sledgehammer and not found one. AA was not exaggerating
You sir are a master craftsman of entertainment, I love your voice, your style, and you just make me smile with every video.
Been binging your content! Just started playing Kenshi and your Torsolo content is gold!
If you manage to find a sledgehammer for this challenge, knock out the stairs for every 2+story building you can... that way you wont have to do it when you bridge to those buildings later
More series like this would be great, ideally longer :)
Please do more zomboid, its by far your best content, and my personal #1 favorite for all zomboid content on youtube.
Anyone else find ambiguous amphibian playing project zombied cosy? Absolutely love falling asleep to it
Always a good day when you upload. Love the content.
You survived 28 days. Hmm... They should make a movie about that. I bet it would be terrifying!
Dude... That ending is pain... So there's no "Stop" or "go back up" button?
A "look where you're going" button would also be good.
"Look down hole" or "Look up".

I love the editing on this one!
PZ VIDEO YESSSSSSS. This is what I crave from AA if not his Rim World stories. Thank you for the dopamine good sir!
Ah, the Zomboid vids got me to follow AA. Glad to see him still making videos within the game. 😩
More Zomboid is always appreciated. Thank you Sir.

You should totally play more Exanima! They had an update recently that added a bunch of magic!

That was well put together, had me giggling quite a few times. very good job =)
I feel like so many videos could start with "Upon spawning in I was already in a state of panic"
Man, if this was C:DDA, they'd have 4 different types of either flying or jumping monstrosities making it up there :P
I love your channel and the stuff you post ambiguousamphibian :)
Damn back at it
All hail the green reptile, for he blessed us again with a video one will take upon his soul with joy and gratitude.
start apocalypse time and starting items are two of the best mods imo.
I eat while watching, your voice is soothing healing for my pained soul
Will you ever maybe do a rimworld android teirs full tutorial? (Skymind, all androids and other items added?) Cheers if you decide to!
Love the surf music in the background
Would you ever consider doing another series for Zomboid like the zero to hero series (doesn't have to be the same "challenge" necessarily) if not why? (I.e. is it an analytics sort of thing, loss of interest, or just busy doing other content etc.?)
Can I hire you to Narrate my LIFE? You certainly have been blessed to be vocally interesting!
This is a great Thanksgiving day gift, thank you so much. First person to put a smile on my face today
"The room was empty last time!" - Famous last words
there's a mod where it also allows you change directions when climbing an escape rope
Just as I was getting ready to start my annual Gerald Willam’s watch i get blessed wit this, thank you
Omg how I have missed these Project Zomboid videos.
I always love your project zomboid challenges! 🤙
