So I’ve been thinking about this for a couple years now and Ik it would be a little weird to have babies in a zombie survival game, but I think it would be a pretty cool addition to the game. Since there’s no real main objective in the game besides surviving I feel it would be really cool to add the option to find or start you own communities. The NPCs could have options for you to click on them and you could have a list of options to speak to them. You would have to build them houses (if your starting you own village) and you’d have to give them assignments to help you with hunting, gardening, taking care of children, etc. You would have the option to interact with the NPCs and build relationships. Obviously in a zombie apocalypse a wedding would be the last thing anyone would think about but the wedding ring could be added and made with iron to give to an NPC to be classified as married. After a certain point in the relationship you could have the option to have a baby. It should take 9 days representing 9 months. If you die you’d obviously have to start the pregnancy over. If your a male player then you’d have to protect your NPC wife to make sure nothing happens to her or the baby. There could be a crib added to the game for the baby to sleep in that you’d have to build with wood and nails. Every 9 days the child would age to the next stage in life Infant, Toddler, Child, Teen, and Adult.
Infant- infants will cry and wind up attracting zombies. You’ll have to scramble to try and figure out what’s wrong to stop the crying. They would need milk which you could find in abandoned buildings or buy from traders. Diapers would be made from cloth fragments.
You could pick them up by using the left trigger (if your using the Xbox or PlayStation) or by right clicking ( if using pc).
Toddlers- Toddlers also cry attracting zombies. They can now eat the food you give them and need water as well. They still need diapers and you can continue to pick them up. They can interact with other toddlers and adults. They can walk up to you can ask you for food or water or the simply play. They can wander around so it’s best to keep them in a fenced area.
Children- Children don’t cry. They can now help with chores like getting water or helping in the fields. They play and interact with other children, teens, and adults. They can ask to go play and you can set them a curfew. You can ground them and send them to their room. They can begin learning how to use a knife.
Teens- Teens can help hunt and gather in the woods. They can cook and garden. Teens can be set to watch and take care of any kids younger than them. They can begin dating but may not marry or have kids of their own.
Adults- Adults are just like you they can do everything you do. You can assign them to do certain things like hunting, farming, caring for kids etc.
NPCs can be infected and turn into zombies.
This is just something that’s been on my mind for a while and I felt I should share my idea does anyone have any thoughts?
