Being your own worst enemy

[new7daylive]

We were discussing ideas for 7 days to die while playing on a private server.

One idea that I thought was really good - When you die, you become a zombie. Basically, the game re-names a zombie with your name and it becomes a mini-boss. Im sure its not possible, but if the zombie could be in your image, that would be even more cool.

Maybe this random re-named zombie retains some of your gear. Maybe it can re-spawn anytime in a 5 day window. Just another way to get a boss fight in the game and give folks another reason to stay alive.

It would take some doing and more code than xml alone, but it should be possible.

This was discussed by the developers a few years back. You would turn into a feral zed. You would then have to fight and kill this zed that's equipped with your gear and armor in order to get your gear back. Was planned as an additional game mode option.

Another chain of thought for MP was that you would then play as the feral zed, and your buddies would have to kill you for you to revive as a human again. (and then go get your pack).

Not sure where they left that at. If it's still planned, or was put aside.
