Real freedom and more planned, thinkful survival

[Gordon Axeman 191]

This is a standalone suggestion, I think.

The abilities of survival should be increased in common. A man can make use of anything if he wants to survive. Let people make decisions and plan things. For now the best way to get stuff is to run through town, losing zombies, quickly grabbing food, tools, pack, guns - everything you need and gtfo. If you meet someone - KOS.

There is no thinking in the game now. The only strategy to survive is the one listed above.

Now:

Spawn --> Get supplies --> Go to military areas for top loot --> Get a car --> Make a camp --> Go snipe noobs --> Die.

As you can see, every life is the same. Of course, people are frustrated after all.

So, I want to suggest more freedom in the game. This will require lots of work, yes, but it's worth it. This game will be unique. I will not suggest making a bomb from desodorant or shit like that, but read please.

Some common aspects:

1) Barricading houses. Just find planks and nails, and use them to close windows (zombies can see you through them and sometimes break into the windows.

2) Stashing stuff in fridges, cabinets, etc. A good alternative for the tents.

3) Crafting recipes, with some tools required (idea from project zomboid). For example, a bat+hammer+nails=nail bat, a jerry can+empty bottle+fabric=molotov etc.

Also some miscellaneous items that can be stacked, like fabric pieces, nails, planks, wires. They are used in some recipes and actions, like making an alarm with a flare and a tripwire.

4) Interactive world. Breaking down locked doors with crowbars, getting into houses through windows, looting broken cars, picking up boxes with stuff to put them into car or somewhere else, large buildings packed with zombies but having many loot etc.

I really can't name everything. Just post your suggestions and/or critics. Will be to hear you all. I will add more, and organize the post. I just don't have much time. If these were suggested before, I'm sorry. I was absent for two weeks.

Some of those things are already planned for the standalone, some are impossible due to engine limitations and some are just stupid.

Try filling gasoline from a jerrycan into a bottle... good luck.

Though I'll lose some fuel, I can do it.

Also, don't be lazy to say what do you count stupid. I want constructive criticism, not replies like "tis is dumb you ar shit!!!!!" Even with good grammar.

And I want people to use the search, tag their posts properly and don't make new threads about ideas that have been beaten to death.

We don't always get what we want.

sounds like a lot of the ideas have been taken from project zomboid

lol alot of those ideas were out before most zombie games were in the makes dumbass.....he's just asking for them to be put into this stand alone. look back to cod zombies or deadrising if you've never played them, or even farther back to snes zombie games...and it is also possible to fill something small with a bigger bottle of liquid (have you never heard of the magic funnel??)

first off I haven't said that he has taken them from project zomboid, I just said that it SOUNDS like, 'cause a lot of ideas are already in project zomboid, if they would have been taken from it, it wouldn't be that bad imo. Nether the less no reason to call me a dumbass. Lucky you there's this thing called internet where you can pump up your ego. Congratulations.
