Various Body Types

[SpardisJX 27]

Thought it might be a good idea to include different body variations in a future update when creating your character in the game.  Admittedly I got the idea from a book called the Zombie Combat Manual (fun read btw), nevertheless I thought it'd be an great inclusion for this game.  Not to mention everyone wouldn't look so similar to each other.

 

You would have three body types to choose from:

 

- Ectomorph (slim, slender build)

- Mesomorph (medium, athletic build)

- Endomorph (large, bulky build)

 

A better, detailed description of each type can be found here:

If we wanted to go a step further, each body type could have its own advantages and disadvantages.  For example, Ectomorphs could run faster, but would be more fragile (ex:  easier to break bones, can't take as much damage, etc.).  Endomorphs would be the slowest of the three, but would also be the most durable and strongest (ex:  less strikes to kill zombies/players with melee weapons).  And of course, Mesomorphs would be overall average character, but perhaps have the most stamina due to their athleticism (if they ever implement an actual stamina system).

 

Anyway, this my first suggestion on the forum, I look forward to reading your guys' responses.   I apologize in advance if this has already been suggested before, but I didn't find anything similar to it when I did a search earlier.

 

Cheers.

Probably not feasible for the same reason we are not going to see zombie children. It would require new models, new skeletons, new animations for every animation on the new skeleton. (months of work)

Wait.. The only reason we're not seeing zombie children is because of Models, animations, etc? I was expecting some kind of moral dilemma on that one..

The potential PR nightmare was also considered but this was the bigger issue, yes.
