Hello there I have suggestions#eli

[graceful obsidian]

Here there’s bullet points 😎:
• Zombies react when shot or punched by dodging slightly, getting startled, or preparing for another hit.
• Human NPCs have realistic reactions when a gun is pointed at them: some surrender, some become verbally aggressive, some drop to their knees, and others run away.
• Survivors display emotions like fear, bravery, and panic, which affect their choices and combat performance.
• Zombies have different levels of decomposition: fresh ones are faster, while older ones are slower but tougher.
• Punching a zombie in the eye causes swelling or a black eye.
• Survivors show fatigue, like bags under their eyes.
• Zombies shot in the leg can’t walk and will crawl to the player.
• Lightweight zombies can be picked up.
• Each zombie has a personality based on its past life: soldier zombies are resilient and tactical, while office worker zombies are slow and weak from a sedentary life.
• Survivor NPCs can experience shock, panic attacks, and hesitation. More experienced survivors handle stress better.
• Survivors can run from hordes of zombies and climb fences to escape.
• Stepping in blood leaves a trail that zombies can follow.

Also btw add survivors feeling exhaustion from fist fights can feel nauseous and some reason before fighting

[graceful obsidian]

Are u happy

[coral rover]

this would be really cool for a DayZ kind of game mode

[hallow parrot]

did bro read it?

[daring needle]

Aight this all is a bit backwards.
You are making very cool suggestions that all tie into deeper mechanics that would need to be developed first.
Your suggestions would then be added to them.

For example an NPC trait system, with factors like running speed, aggressiveness, shooting accuracy, etc. aswell as an npc path finding system that is connected with that (an agressjve npc might push towards you while the careful npc stays further away).

Also a zombie tracking system where they use scent and smell probably aswell as sight to track players down

[graceful obsidian]

Like ur thinking

[daring needle]

Thing is most of these things are easier said than done, so please try to really get into detail and try to get as fundamental as possible with these suggestions!

[hallow parrot]

makes me think of a mincraft mod where you drop blood decals and zombies can follow it

[graceful obsidian]

Yeah there suggestions tho to give ideas

[rough marsh]

Honestly zombies should be dumb in games in my opinion except for some variants

Because the way they are hard is because they just rush you in a group of 400 and them being intelligent then also and dodging punches and bullets would make them really hard to kill

The reason zombies are dumb is because there's a lot of them in most games they are in

[hallow parrot]

kinda like dying light zombies become slower the longer their infected

[junior flower]

Rushing doesnt mean being intelligent but youre right many games make zombies too intelligent for example dying light has zombies that can preform many advanced parkour moves

[junior flower]

All of them are great ideas but idk about the personality one

Now i will read allat
