- Atom Zombie August Update - 20 August 2023
Hello all, here's the update for August 2023: Hotkeys We've added new hotkeys to streamline the zombie smashing experience. Left/right bracket: will select next/previous unit. Home/end: will fully zoom in or fully zoom out. Mods The online mod fileshare download now works again -- you can now browse user-submitted mods, download them, and play them. Legacy stuff Disabled some ancient stuff that had broken down over time: the report-a-bug, mod uploading, and the newsletter functionality. Additionally, the new hotkeys should make the game more playable on the Steam Deck. Enjoy!
