    actually adding dirt and blood over a character is not that hard... here is a simple solution for such things every character has a sprite made of layers... which contain the divisions of the body such as pants... maybe upper clothing and even the equipment a character is carrying... so how do we add the blood and dirt to a character.. apply such things in the highest layer. the character wont have the effect althou it can be textured based on a character model to look dirtier or bloodier with the passing time. the effect will only remain on top of the character so it will behave the same way an object that is held by a character. so... in some way the file weight considering such thing would be pretty much the same as 2 clothing styles. this same way of solving it can be applied if in the future they want to add a way to know if a character has been healed with bandages. and like i said before... taking a shower is not a must for gameplay althou will make more sense having a fortress with a bathroom than living in one without it.

    se we are set... about pooping.. i dont think its relevant... what so ever... the option of clean yourself is actually pretty useful and wont affect the general gameplay and give you more sense.

    there is pointless weapons thou... like the butter knife... you cant kill much things with it but you can try...
  4. intenten desarrollar mods, los creadores suelen implementar mods bien logrados al contenido del juego, dependiendo de la popularidad de estos.

    or maibe a little animation of the character rubbing his body. like washing himself. this would improve the gameplay in many ways. as well as a well implemented body disposal system.
  6. if the world map expands more, vehicles will be fucking awesome... spacially if you consider you will be able to carry more resources from one place to another for covering long distances thou in urban enviroment you might prefer a bike. you will be able to monuver arround obstacles. althou a jeep would be better under certain circumstances... for instance... consider the following escenario running over bodies might and will ruin your vehicle if it is not prepared for doing so.. blood and flesh behaves like soap under the tires and will make you loose control over the vehicle a jeep is more stable in this sense... if you add chains to the wheels you might get a better control but in a bike you will lose control and balance if you hit something... very easily... getting seriously wounded in the process. with some mechanics knowledge and tools you might aswell improve some vehicles to improve their quality. for instance a a pilot to clear your way or some support wheels to prevent from falling off or even adding a sidecart.
  7. my point is... its possible? fucking possible, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_firearm the thing is... unless you get a lot of practice on doing improvised weapons or become a really good gunsmith you might not get good results. about ammunition http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/how-to-get-started-reloading-ammunition/ its the same thing realoading ammo and so is hard not impossible... can be learned althou need practice and experience just like everything else in life. the thing that botters me is like you are been like.. nope fucking impossible no human can make ammo... thats fucking witchcraft nothing else.
  8. i like the idea of decoration... but i think the dev wont pay to much attention to it cause of the stage in which they are working. its a good idea thou..

    it sounds cool as fuck but.. when i saw the video I was like... well shit... it could be used either way... as it has a battery for construction... making us more efficient and when in need... at least slow a zombie down in close distance. http://www.blockotoole.com/NY-Construction-Accidents/Nail-Gun-Accidents.shtml accidents are common thou so we can assume even if they cant pierce through cardboard at long distance when pushed agains a surface it can pierce through it very easyly... lets say... flesh... eyes.. feet..

    i know its one of the no's of the development but i feel its a need in the game as i exposed.... has several advantages in terms of immmersion and gameplay... consider the following how fucking realistic is having a fortress in which you live for months and there is no fucking bathroom... althou in a certain point taking a shower is not a priority consider what i exposed... there will be alternatives as the option will be clean yourself. for this you can use either a water bottle a bucket... or something else. a shower is one that will give you the higher effect... but will requiere a lot of work... also there is some alternatives to have hot water... including even a boiler to do so. let me show you some alternatives from the simplest to the most complex ones. http://s4.hubimg.com/u/3351219_f520.jpg the camping shower... the water inside will get warm with the sun and thus provide a good quality shower... the waste of water is minimal as you control the amount of water you use to take a shower. http://static.betazeta.com/www.veoverde.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/calentador.jpg the hand crafted solar shower... this is not so portable... but it can be made using plastic bottles, and some pipes... in this picture you see a water tank which contains the water suply... the stream runs through the pipes and the sun heats the water providing even hot water to wash the dishes... http://insix.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/termopanel.png this is a thermal panel... same concept as the above but with higher quality materials. can be handcrafted too but requieres more work and equipment. http://www.termocalor.cl/imagenes/somos/2.jpg the thermal cannon... another sort of simple one.. this can be handcrafted and when you make fire will heat the water and thus provide enough to cook and shower. the most versatile of the above. the crafting of most of the above equipment may include wood... tape... fittings ... black paint... nails... glue... water bottles...a knife... for the thermal cannon you might need some welding... and metal panels... a metal shear and a few other things including some valves and cooper pipes, but nothing impossible to gather.

    I think higene is important because the following reasons... 1- survival in some extent will become less of a worry... but cleaning will... we make contact with rotten bodies.. so think about lots of mices and infections and such... so cleaning yourself is important... and in zombie literature has an important role considering even the way you destroy a body and others. 2- illnesses in a world without medical attention and medicine access in an easy way.... will requiere to watch how you clean yourself to preven infections 3- it wil add a new role to the group of actions and how we interact with the enviroment making it more immersive 4- more realistic in a context and another reason to keep constant access to water. how it should be implemented? make it optional, but requiered in the long term... I mean you can pass a week without taking a shower or a bucket of water, but cleaning yourself (washing your hands, trying to brush your teeth and other implied things) will increase your life quality. for instance there should not be something as specific as wash hands ... but can be more generic like wash yourself or clean self it implies the other things and in less than 1 minute you are set to go... not doing so can increase chance of been sick... having an infection or heal slowly. so... this should work in the following way... clean self has some variants.. or lets say tiers and different ones will have a better effect on your condition using a bottle of water or a limited water source like a bucket or a bowl of water will be tier 1 small bonus and will prevent infections from this point there is a difference using cold water and hot water using a sink will have a lower stat boost and prevent some infections but hot water will have a 20% plus over the previous one the same thing for a shower, a cold shower will have a good effect but a hot one will be the best forcing you to have access to hot water to increase your overall life quality. happiness and prevent illnesess. thus... is not a so complex system as we know what is better and wont make us run towars the closest bathroom but instead will make us keep in mind how to boost our stats.
  14. ok.. im done with your bullshit... making guns is easy as fuck... let me introduce you the most basic model of working shotgun ever, hand made shotgun... just a bunch of steel pipes and welding and thats it. a fucking shotgun... and you know what? the most fucking stupid criminals in my country can make one of this using the crap they have in their houses. so dont tell me you need to be a fucking rocket scientist to make a working gun. and also they tend to make their own ammo too. so gunmaking yes... totally possible and ammo making hell yes. you seem to forget we are in a damn post apocaliptic world... we will have lots of time to learn how to craft shit.. and will save our lives... can a person make a complex shotgun in an afternoon? no so likely... but in a few days? yeah... a mechanic can make a good quality gun... my uncle has almost all the tools you need to make a high quality gun.. and those tools are used to fix some spare parts of cars... so having access to equipment to craft a gun is not that hard... having the knowledge.. just a bit harder... but you will most likely become better and better as you practice your skills.
