General idea's

[hdmidone 7]

Hey Guys, I was thinking About ideas that could improve the game and I came up with this (sorry if I say some stuff that are already in the game) Ideas for the standalone version

-Passive Level System-

For Example: Lets say you run alot but you run out of breathe a bit quick.

But then with the passive level system the more you run the longer you run. Like conditioning for a sport.

(but you get thirsty) etc.

-Items Corresponding with building and objects-

For Example: Lets say there is a crashed ambulance naturally there would be a larger amount of bandages. GunStores, etc

-More Vehicles-

Like bikes etc.., but bikes make you thirsty and hungry

-Placable/Destructable objects-

Like wooden fences and such.., would be used to make a base or barriers that fortify doors [nails and hammer are needed (passive system works here to)]

and fences/doors could be broken to get wood for Fortification

-Fortification-

If placable objects would be implemented then this would be easy to put into the game

(maybe you could make walls or more fences idk)

-Achievement-RewardSystem-

So Like Have a reward system

For example- bandage your self 50 times and revive someone 10 times-then as a reward you get a badge above your name that says something like doctor or some thing.

Just have different rewards like a better cloths and stuff.

-Finding items that perm stay with you-

Like a backpack that has more inventory slots.

or better shoes.

And maybe backpacks that could be found with prepacked stuff.

-Zombies Inventory-

Some zombies should have a inventory co-responding to who they where before they turned, like the broken ambulance I mentioned, the zombies that spawned near the ambulance should have a nursing skin and should have a abnormal amount of bandages and water in there inventory

and police zombies should have helmets etc,..

Also,players who are killed shortly after (time varies) turn into zombies (they arn't the zombies but the body with the stuff in the inventory turns) and you have to kill that players body to get the stuff.

-Some Zombies Act Dead-

For example, you shoot a zombie and it falls to the floor you have to "double tap" if they are breathing or something (only some don't die the ones that you shoot in the chest or something)

-More ideas to come-

Please, leave a comment and check out my beginning gaming blog

:D

Btw I'm really sorry for the name I really didn't know what to call it :(

Cool Ideas.

Yes, i especially like those about dead players turning into zombies(not controlled) and the thing about "zombies playing dead" it would be really nice. Imagine, you are getting in front of school, you see a lot of bodies, you go pass them and accidently step on one of them, you hear cracking of bones and a horrifying scream, you look down and there is a zombie trying to grab your leg, you turn behind and all bodies arent lying around anymore but standing and slowly advancing in your direction. 8D

there are already bikes in the game! but i like you ideas, like the last guy said - especially the player zombies. i just made a post similar to that before, but the idea was a bit different. either way, it would be awesome.

I'm loving your feed back.

After you wrote me to check out your post, I be so kind and try to give some arguments:

-Passive Level System-

For Example: Lets say you run alot but you run out of breathe a bit quick.

But then with the passive level system the more you run the longer you run. Like conditioning for a sport.

(but you get thirsty) etc.

I'm not sure if I get you right here, but a cooldown for a sprint (which would be necessary for your idea) is really annoying in a game where you have to travel alot! Gameplay > realism

-Items Corresponding with building and objects-

For Example: Lets say there is a crashed ambulance naturally there would be a larger amount of bandages. GunStores, etc

I think we need the exact opposite. If you make specific loot, people have an advantage using maps like these http://dayzdb.com/map. If you randomize the loot much more, you get a better gameplay (searching for stuff instead of farming common spots)

-More Vehicles-

Like bikes etc.., but bikes make you thirsty and hungry

-Placable/Destructable objects-

Like wooden fences and such.., would be used to make a base or barriers that fortify doors [nails and hammer are needed (passive system works here to)]

and fences/doors could be broken to get wood for Fortification

-Fortification-

(maybe you could make walls or more fences idk)

Those are the ideas I personally don't like, not because they are bad, but they are easy to come up with and you need to spend resources on them. Resources you could spend very well on other topics.

-Achievement-RewardSystem-

So Like Have a reward system

For example- bandage your self 50 times and revive someone 10 times-then as a reward you get a badge above your name that says something like doctor or some thing.

Just have different rewards like a better cloths and stuff.

Unrealistic, adds not enough positive aspects to the gamplay to justify that.

-Finding items that perm stay with you-

Like a backpack that has more inventory slots.

or better shoes.

And maybe backpacks that could be found with prepacked stuff.

We have permadeath. Having tents where you can store stuff even beyond death if enough cheating on this.

-Zombies Inventory-

Some zombies should have a inventory co-responding to who they where before they turned, like the broken ambulance I mentioned, the zombies that spawned near the ambulance should have a nursing skin and should have a abnormal amount of bandages and water in there inventory

and police zombies should have helmets etc,..

Also,players who are killed shortly after (time varies) turn into zombies (they arn't the zombies but the body with the stuff in the inventory turns) and you have to kill that players body to get the stuff.

Would encourage player to kill zombies for loot. Thats not realistic, since in reality you would try to stay as far away of them as you could.

-Some Zombies Act Dead-

For example, you shoot a zombie and it falls to the floor you have to "double tap" if they are breathing or something (only some don't die the ones that you shoot in the chest or something)

Zombies are people which are infected with a virus, that makes them aggresive and really stupid. Acting dead is a ability they are not capable of.

Thank you.

PASSIVE SKILL LEVELING

I'm not sure if I get you right here, but a cooldown for a sprint (which would be necessary for your idea) is really annoying in a game where you have to travel alot! Gameplay > realism

•No I mean like let's say you just started.

When you run, you run for a short amount of time and get thirsty.Now let's say you keep running and getting worn out and get thirsty like 4-5 times then you can run for a second or two longer..,etc(keep in mind,if they make food harder to find. It will be harder to build up a healthy body)And this would work with other stuff. Like, walking(you require less water)swimming(you swim faster)crouching(you crouch walk faster and more silently).

But remember it's really hard to build up these skills and they are passive so the players won't be distracted by a congratz you won thing.

STUFF IN SPACIFIC BUILDINGS

I think we need the exact opposite. If you make specific loot, people have an advantage using maps like these http://dayzdb.com/map. If you randomize the loot much more, you get a better gameplay (searching for stuff instead of farming common spots)

• well some people want maps to be disabled, and the maps you get in game should be pitch black but when you explore the location it become visible. And maybe have a map generator.

VEHICLES AND BUILDING/DESTROYING

Those are the ideas I personally don't like, not because they are bad, but they are easy to come up with and you need to spend resources on them. Resources you could spend very well on other topics.

•well these can be added later into the game.

But the building/destroying would be great.

Unrealistic, adds not enough positive aspects to the gamplay to justify that.

It's just for fun and maybe people can identify others by their badges.

We have permadeath. Having tents where you can store stuff even beyond death if enough cheating on this.

•okay, I agree

Would encourage player to kill zombies for loot. Thats not realistic, since in reality you would try to stay as far away of them as you could.

•but it's specific zombies you have to kill to get that loot and watch Walking Dead the game. It will give you ideas. And if you kill one zombie you risk having more zombies come.

Zombies are people which are infected with a virus, that makes them aggresive and really stupid. Acting dead is a ability they are not capable of.

• well, there not really playing dead, when they get shot they feel excruciating pain and fall to the floor and if a person doesn't shoot him to fInish them then the zombie ether bleeds out over a period of time or can latch on to the person.(using a bit of your ideas there) lol

Thanks again
