There's something extremely English about the slack-skinned medieval peasantry of God Save Birmingham. They all look like they ate a lot of sausage sandwiches in their time. And soon, food will be able to have its revenge—one of the new weapons being added to the survival/crafting sim is a big old haunch of meat.

Scythes and hammers are also among the new weapons coming in closed alpha tests later this month, and weapon aim accuracy has been improved for better limb-lopping. The trailer shows some extra gory bisections and amputations, along with a variable framerate that I suppose is at least honest.

The new trailer also shows off a guidance system to help you keep track of stamina, hunger, injuries, and goals, as well as durability, sharpening, and barricade-building, complete with door and latch installation. Health and hygiene has been tweaked as well, and like apparently every medieval peasant we'll be able to dunk our heads in a horse trough to get clean when we're not eating pottage and killing zombies.
