zombie animation idea: crawling and grabbing around corners

[loud harbor]

when zombies reach or approach a home's entrance, instead of just clawing and hitting it, a roamer should be trying to reach their arms through a space to crawl into and find the smells/sounds/sight

if they're slow and moving towards you, the arms and hands feeling around an area could add to the tension even if its a single one in a room

as others have mentioned, the zeds dont feel threatening and it will be interesting to see what you come up with; i like the idea of scrambling, missing limbs, variations in threat by size, appendages and teeth; runners are a threat only because it's hard to hit them, it'll be nice when they're just unconcerned and the next ones grab and hold on vs just hit

grabbing and holding on to things is a seriously creepy threat

Imagine a zombie grabbing you arm and you have to use an offhand weapon or break the hold..

[loud harbor]

yes

the thing drops

but the animations need to be solid

like you have to be able to see your arms and it'll pull inwards and you see the dead flesh arm digging in

if you have clothes it can grab easier

if you have baby oil you can pour it on yourself...

for science

GRAB ME NOW F*CKERS!!!!

I think Zombies should be Grabbin simalar to No More Room In Hell

i dont think it should be like Dying Lights where you button mash, i think it should be more of a timed shove where if you dont catch it on time you bitten

and i dont mean a random button propmt, literally just the shove button thats already in game, just make it simalar to No More Room In Hell

[hard monolith]

extremely realistic, timing should be everything, dying light was never good at this, playing dl the beast currently and the volatile just has a jump animation on you and just chills there waiting for you to press a button

When a zombie grabs you and you know jiu-jitsu

I'd immediately try and work on a bunch of Mortal Kombat toons

This or the devs need to give us ninja clothes

• green ninja
• red ninja

Headbands like Karate Kid

Well.. Colored clothes or a white Gi Top, bottom, and the belt goes in the armor slot.
