SA: Shadows

Fairly simple suggestion for standalone, if you're in shadows your visibility to zombies should decrase slightly. What do you think? It would create an interesting aspect for the game imo.

Some people have to play without shadows to run at a decent frame rate. This is cool, but it would just make it so fewer people could play.

From what I've heard that in standalone there's gonna be alot of graphics that you can't modify, if shadows are always forced to be on then this suggestion is valid, if not, then it's not valid.

Shadows do affect gameplay quite a bit, I'd at least like to see them being a server-side option to have them forced. At least on at a low setting.

This is already in effect in DayZ

All lighting effects how zombies see you

however

zombies in the mod currently are gay and overtuned

I heard/played a little of the upcoming patch and Razor fixed them a bit

anyways

yes

Hello there

Id like shadow "recognition" as it affects different areas at different times of day. Could be an interesting mechanic.

I also noticed an issue in the actual game where shadows activate on a night without moon light(night time of course) .. I'd hope this could be resolved in the Standalone.

As for your idea, I believe it's already incorporated in the mod but to see it expand to be more of a stealthier approach to counteract with the difficulty of zombies and players alike, I can approve it :)

this should already be in the game IMO

What does the zombies sexual orientation have to do with anything?

But anyways, I like this idea, but I don't like the idea of shadows being forced, because they absolutely kill performance.
