MrZombifiedGamer Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Okay, so I know decomposition is in. But I was curious at some point if we could add bodies decomposing to skeletons? Then maybe using the human bones for different crafting recipes? I've always been fascinated with decomposition and it would be cool if you opted to start in later game if you walked into houses and saw skeletons in them.

SuperJack Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Bones as crafting, Sounds good to me, been done before. Could be part of the Arrow heads, or a alternative to current tools... But perhaps limit it to wild animals. Maybe the Zombies bones are to brittle. NPC and Player maybe you can use... "Hey, Derek is dead, we can use part of his skull as a trowel."

MrZombifiedGamer Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Lmao poor Derek. xD But yeah, no, I was speaking of mainly survivors and animals, but only survivors you don't know. I feel like there should be a penalty for doing anything like that to survivors that are your friends or you know personally, unless you have some sort of trait that makes you kind of loopy and you like that kind of thing.

Atoxwarrior Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 if it could be considered, it would be more realistic to see more skeletal appearance to zombies or see that after some time the bodies are starting to come back at skeletons of decomposition, would give a touch of realism and fear being a game of zombies Marinus and MrZombifiedGamer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomWarlock Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would love to see a bone club, and other crude weapons. But I don't think it should go into too much depth. Maybe a couple items or so. I would love seeing zombies with exposed bones though. The beautiful, white, calcium enriched things....

I mean we should stick to plausible uses. One that I thought of is finding a human skeleton and hanging it outside your base or territory as a warning to other survivors passing by. Mainly for NPC's obviously,it would scare some, warn some and deter others. Maybe even invite some if they're 'evil' I hate using that word, but just for arguments sake, evil.

TheCenturion Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm no expert, but doesn't it usually take a very significant amount of time for a body to fully decay into just the skeleton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game is annoying and I hate it so, but they do a lot of things right and that's why I continue to play it. One of those are the effigies, I really hope PZ decides to adopt that as a source of light at some point. PhantomWarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, can't have what we want. But that lighting effigy thing sounds cool! If it where bone, I don't think it would work. But fresh meat could work.

I just want a Kenny's boat scenario.

What he means is going after a plan to escape the zombies but it fails. For story superposes. It would be awesome! Edited August 4, 2014 by kirrus There are spoiler tags. Adding them.

DarkyDaFool Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm no expert, but doesn't it usually take a very significant amount of time for a body to fully decay into just the skeleton? Yeah, 50 to 365 days. Unless you were "XxHardcore_ProxX" and could survive for 2 months to a year, you wouldn't see any skeletons lying around.

I have no problem with that and to be honest I think there will be plenty of people who will survive for a year. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to put it in the game. Especially for late game, come on, you know you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Dead bodies going skeletal does not take all that long, a month or two is enough when exposed to insects and elements. I always wanted this, I even asked TurboTuTone about it for Erosion. He even said he would but the art assets for it is the only real hold-back.
