Zeds eating and/or drinking animations

Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

I'm not sure what kind of zombies are represented in this game, but I thought the idea of them having eating and drinking animations would be cool.

 

Although I would say that this would not be necessary for them to survive, I would like to see non-alerted zeds wander towards bodies of dead animals and players, and display the squatting player animation for eating. The same could be for water sources other than pumps as well.

 

This would add greatly to the environmental ambiance, and could potentially make watering holes slightly more dangerous if done properly.

 

 

-Side Note-

Maybe the devs could even make it so that the zeds DO die off if not being able to consume food and water within a day as well? Could be some type of respawn separation between zeds killed by players vs the nutrient requirements.

They have something like this, I could swear i have seen it before, maybe im thinking of the mod though (crouching and grubbing down on a player they killed)

I know they have mo-cap of the eating animation. I remember seeing it when they did the dev blog on it a long time ago. We are starting to see the fruits of that, hopefully we will get animations like you talked about soon :)
