Off the Grid will also include a surprising vertical of information, gaming reviews. This is because of the dystopian theme in many PC games that tethers well with some of the changes we are witnessing in GenZ lifestyle and culture.
The highly anticipated Alpha 20 update for 7 days to Die is now available.
According to the developers, Alpha 20 is the largest content update that they’ve made thus far.
7 Days to Die has a new Alpha build that improves map generation among many other things.
You can choose Beta in the Steam properties tab and choose the new Alpha (unstable) as they work towards their Gold Edition.
If you’ve never tried this game, it’s highly rated on steam reviews. This would be a good time to try it in my opinion.
Alpha 20 Official Release Notes
Alpha 20 is by far the largest content drop TFP has ever delivered. This is partly due to TFP nearly doubling the team size over the last two years and vastly improving our proprietary tools to improve the game and speed up new content creation.
Alpha 20 takes some big leaps towards Gold with these major improvements:
A brand-new version of Random Gen World creation with new cities, city tiles and a part system spawner. You will be blown away by it!
Over 200 new POI’s and updates to many of the older POI’s. Over 550 Explorable locations total
Navezgane has many city improvements, terrain improvements and new rural and wilderness communities
Nearly 25 new HD characters with a couple with improved shaders
6 New weapons and 13 HD remakes with the addition of new primitive pipe weapons
Overhauled shape menu with hundreds of new shapes organized and buildable from a simple frame with in-game, creative and level design support
Block Placement Improvements
We have added a Robotic Drone Companion to carry your extra gear, heal you and more

TFP is extremely excited for this release. It’s by far the biggest Alpha ever and is jam packed with new content, bug fixes, optimizations, and game balancing. Read on for more information!
This game isn’t about incredible graphics but the huge amount of building and customization options.
I also like the diversity of the maps. This update features a brand new random world generator that allows you to create new worlds complete with cities, a trader that gives you quests, and so much more. Besides that, there are more than 200 new Points of Interest (POIs) with over 550 explorable locations in total (including older POIs).
