Beta v0.1.1 Is Live!
November 5, 2026 | Development Update
We’re excited to announce that PROJECT Z-115: OUTBREAK Windows Beta v0.1.1 is officially available!
This update brings our proof-of-concept experience another step forward, introducing custom playable characters, improved multiplayer functionality, new visual branding, and numerous gameplay refinements.
Our focus remains the same: building a fun, action-packed zombie survival experience while laying the foundation for the larger PROJECT Z-115 universe.
Meet Our Updated Survivors
One of the biggest improvements in v0.1.1 is the introduction of our custom-designed survivor characters.
Bob Sr. — Master General
Our cigar-smoking veteran brings his signature military presence to the battlefield.
Captain P (Payo) — Missiles Division
A new custom survivor with his own distinctive military appearance.
Ginger — Fly Trap
A custom-designed survivor featuring her recognizable tactical appearance.
Jay “Switch” — Missiles Division
Our purple-haired tactical survivor joins the fight with a distinctive look of her own.
Each character features a custom 3D appearance with updated skeletal animation integration and weapon handling.
Improved Multiplayer Experience
OUTBREAK continues to support up to four players — one host and three joining players.
Version 0.1.1 includes:
- Improved player-hosted online cooperative multiplayer.
- Separate ONLINE CO-OP and LOCAL LAN menu options.
- Easier host and join navigation.
- Online session join codes.
- LAN connections using the host’s local IP address.
- Improved LAN connection timeout and cancellation options.
- Improved multiplayer character appearance, movement synchronization, weapon handling, and shooting effects.
Whether you’re fighting alone or surviving alongside friends, we’re working to make the experience smoother and easier to access.
New Game Presentation
We’ve introduced updated PROJECT Z-115 branding throughout the Windows experience.
Custom Startup Splash Screen
Players are now greeted by original PROJECT Z-115 artwork instead of the default Unity presentation.
Custom Windows Game Icon
OUTBREAK now features its own recognizable Windows executable icon.
Reorganized Main Menu
The updated menu makes it easier to access SOLO gameplay, ONLINE CO-OP, LOCAL LAN, language options, and the option to quit the game.
Gameplay and Quality-of-Life Improvements
Alongside the visual updates, v0.1.1 includes refinements to character animations, weapon positioning, multiplayer interactions, and menu usability.
We’ve also improved the overall installation experience with an updated README – START HERE guide containing setup instructions, controls, multiplayer connection steps, and troubleshooting tips.
What’s Next?
Development doesn’t stop here.
For upcoming updates, we’re planning:
- Further weapon model and grip improvements.
