States of Decay

[Okamikurainya]

Hey there all, I'm not sure if this idea has been posted before but since zombies get slower as they "decay" I thought it might be a possible idea to actually add as a mod or a feature of the game.

 

The zombies don't have that many skins as is and they can end up feeling pretty samey... I was wondering if it would be possible to add various states of decay based on how old the zombie is? Maybe making their skin greener/greyer as they age with browner patches and maybe bones sticking through? Perhaps even resulting in their downgrade to crawler once they reach a certain point?

 

While on the subject, perhaps something that would add a bit of immersion into multiplayer games is having the zombies attracted to recently dead players as though they're "feeding"?
