PC Have we figured out what zombies are yet?

Or, as some old video game called “parasite eve?” I played long long ago claimed.... it’s the mitochondria that are still alive and controlling the body. On purpose and by design as their plan all

along. Those pesky little powerhouses of the cells!

And that parasite produces oxygen as it is consuming the flesh. Enough to keep muscles infused and responding to nerve impulses.

and then after a week, there wouldn't be any zombies left.

Not in general zombie lore.  Sure that may be how it functions as far as we know but zombies also do not exist.  Infection is certainly more plausible than necromantic magic if we are going to insist on details😛

i'm referring specifically to the aesthetic of the zombies. it can be anything, but the aesthetic rules out some things. if they were going with a parasite or a 28 days later rabies -like infected, the zombie design would look different.

Close, but its actually Twitter users.  Already brain dead, a weekend power outage caused global rioting and the rest is what we have today.

For any Twitter user here, it doesn't apply to you, cuz you is special!  F

You can stop a hoard temporarily by throwing them a mouse or a cell phone.*

Whatever the cause is, it has some powerful ju-ju because, sometimes, it can sure propel Big Mama and the rest of the chunky ones.

Except there are no mice or cell phones in this apocalypse.  :p

What?  Oh that's right, you only have the regular game version, not the "Fun Pimps like you more than other players", version.

Oh TFP like you, they just like you to be further away!  Over there... by the dumpsters.  😁

Me too. The last time I went to a restaurant I asked for a table close to the kitchen. They put me in the alley. I tell ya, I get no respect. One time I checked into a hotel and asked for the same treatment they'd give their mothers. They locked me up in the basement.

I've even been rejected by dumpsters.  Well, I can't be certain but it was locked and completely rejected my advances.

 
Newspaper pages on the ground seem to point out to an aggressive strain of flu that decimated the population and most probably turned people into the walking corpses we now fight against. So if anything, the viral cause may be the main lead for zombification. Now, what's the origin of this strain? That remains to be seen. But so far, we clearly have classic, shambling zombies.

We still need to explain the origin of the special zombies, like the acid-spitting Cop, the Screamer and the super-zombie wraith or wight or whatever's the name (i dont remember rn). And also who puts the explosive charges on the Demos.

The Cop seems to be a mutation. So we could put this on effects of radioactivity. The Screamer seems to also have been affected in such way. Or we could also consider scientific experimentation on her (she's wearing a gown that's similar to those worn by people going to surgery room). The Wight seems to have developed super speed and fortitude from the radioactivity or is also a result of unorthodox experiements.

Nothing indicates a supernatural cause like necromancy, or anything related to some occult and esoteric forces. So i guess we would have to rule this out. Still, the way Blood Moons affect zombies is actually very strange and this doesnt seem to be natural...

 
I hope we can have a prequel game to this that explains things.  It will just be building and no need for shooting, initially, because if you shoot anyone the cops will arrest you, game over. No blood moons (until the cut scene occurs that explains them). Then you can live out the scenario that then leads to 7D2D. Of course, this will need to be a story driven mode, so we can get the full backstory and meet all the zeds before they were zeds. Traders will be just regular people who give you quests like “can you find my dog?” Or “help Rekt plant his flower bed”. But what to call it? “Quite a Few Days To Live?” “300 Days Until 7 Days to Die?”

of course, /s to all of this, but it would be kinda neat to have some of it occur in game of the game has NPC’s , etc and they turn to zeds. Or instead of air drops we had some that were bombs that literally leave big holes in the ground, showing that where you are they are still trying to eradicate the zeds.  With the new newspaper stand blocks, they could add a lot of “old news” content

I have thought of a prequel where you have 7 hours before the news breaks of the Zombie apocalypse, as you hang up the phone the timer starts!

You have 5 levels of difficulty from being homeless to mega prepper.  Also various levels of free cash so you can modify your start with more food, ammo and maybe a gun.

The game would HAVE to be non-voxel as the numbers of zombies would be insane for quite some time.
