CaptKaspar Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Obesity in America is real. A whopping 35% of our adult population are obese! For immersion that issue should be factored into the game. We already have slower/faster zombies in game, how about adding a new zombie model for some of the slower ones? It would only take creating a new zombie model and tying it to the already existing slower zombies. Along those lines we could have elderly modeled zombies that could also be slower with worse (or no) memory. I would love to make an obese and/or elder character sometime too! It would present new and unique challenges and really open up the RPG dimensions. Bennytheowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORMtnMan Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 What are you trying to say?! We aren't fat! Joking aside, all new models both character and weapon are on the list for things to be able to be added/modded later. That sort of thing would probably be more likely implemented as a mod... Could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silents429 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Zombies are fine the way they are, slightly slower isn't going to make a difference. And they way you mention how memory works doesn't fit the lore they have I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they way you mention how memory works doesn't fit the lore they have I believe. Silents429, I never suggested changing the zombies in this thread other than a new 3D model for some. There already are zombies that are faster and slower than each other in game currently. I don't see how having a 3D model of some larger zombies doesn't fit the lore of the game being set in a rural Kentucky town. 33.2% of Kentucky is considered obese. So 1 in 3 zombies statistically should be obese. Furthermore, there is a 1 in 3 chance that my character would be obese if I am from Kentucky. I can't see how this hurts the lore in anyway. Improves it IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I could go for fat zombies that are knock-back resistant and slightly BFT resistant. CaptKaspar and Suffokate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robban279 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think the devs have more important issues to be bothered with though it'd be nice with some more variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptKaspar Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think the devs have more important issues to be bothered with though it'd be nice with some more variety. True. But, if they are currently working with an animator as we speak to add new animations, now might be the perfect time to make some changes. Animations that show our backpacks, sneaking, etc are all currently being added to help improve the game immersion and no other game play purpose. The backpacks, the sneaking, and the slower (obese) zombies are all already in game, we just need the animations for them. With that being said, there are certainly a number of things I'd rather see added to this game before I see fat zombie models added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even had a nice seperate sentance for that.New models and looks with zombies are probably coming, it just seems incredibly dumb to worry about now. I just can't see people sitting in their safehouse thinking "Gee this game could use fat zombies, if anything it needs its fat zombies." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slendy Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't think weight would be a big deal in this type of game.. considering the objective is to see how long you can survive and die ^^ robban279 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize, but I did not understand your original sentence about lore and memory. This is likely because English is not my primary language, is it yours? This, like many suggestion threads, was not created with the sole expression that this suggestion was the most important. It is merely a suggestion to improve the immersion of the game, that it will hopefully be added someday to the game. Currently this week's Mondoid references animations and sound work being done to improve the immersion of the game and this topic, I feel, falls in line with that. We all have our opinions, and yes I would like to see fat zombies in the game at some point, but do try to be lovely when expressing them.

Ewok Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 If we have fat American zombies could we have the occasional British zombie, identifiable by its bad teeth and a cockney twinge to its moan? On a serious note, anything to add a bit of visual variety to the zeds would be welcomed by me, although I wouldn't say it's a neccesity. robban279 and CaptKaspar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffokate Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 This is why I think we should have multiple handgun models etc that shoot higher caliber rounds. If I knew I was fighting a bigger guy in a gun fight, I would bring a bigger gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maharin Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Being chased by Zombie Fat Albert would have a certain appeal, I suppose. CaptKaspar and Aardman55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem0nmech Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 zombies eat dead bodies but they dont/cant digest what they eat so zombies gets fat (lore subjective), so it would be nice to see that for more zombie variety. CaptKaspar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
