Animation

[_Ryen_]

Hello there,

Like a year or two ago I used to play 7DTD so if someone who has been playing it a lot will probably disagree with me as this person (you reading this) because you are used to it, but with my eyes [as a pretty new player] can't look at it because of animation that occurs while chopping wood.

I've seen the new 1.0 update that improves character look and stuff but since that time I haven't seen anything related to that. If this is supposed to be more of a in-real-life game then please, make animations look better as well in some time and not MINECRAFT-style.

I know it might sounds stupid but it REALLY does hurt my eyes and in my mind there is a sentence that I can't get rid of which is "Who tf cuts a tree half vertically". I'm not sure about other animations but Gun reloading and digging animation is 100x better than this. Help

Although true about cutting trees, I doubt they'll make an animation for trees and have a different animation for boxes or other things.  This isn't a simulation, so there are going to be things that are not realistic.  It is, after all, a zombie game, so realism is already out of the window.

I'm aware of that yes, but take a look at the buildings, characters, vehicles and other stuff. I saw that it was a more minecraft-like game back in 2014 or so and it was understandable but now when they make people look a LOT more realistic then why not change such a thing? I know it's not a very big detail but if I was in their team it would be a priority to make some things that hurt eyes to do the opposite. I'm aint no animator but I don't think that making it a bit more horizontal would be such a problem.

It is a matter of priority.  There are a lot of things needing to be finished for gold and if they keep their roadmap, that's less than 2 years away.  The animation for coping trees down isn't something I have ever seen anyone complain about here, while other animations, like for weapons, are a much more hot topic.  I see nothing wrong with improving animations for everything, but they will need to decide where best to spend the time and I don't really see that being at the top of their list.  But you never know.  Doesn't hurt to ask like you have done.

Yeah I guess it's a matter of preferences. If I was llike 8 years old it wouldn't bother me so much as it is now. The truth is I'm looking for a game that's pretty much like Zomboid. There are a couple reasons why this game isn't the best alterantive for me but I'm just looking forward to see what will this game be like in the future as it's not a beta anymore.
