New way to play

[Tay1372]

Hello everyone,

I know there are a lot of people who are currently unhappy with the devs but the one thing I can't fault them on is that they do offer so many ways to play their game. I've not seen too many other devs/games that offer this.

At the moment there is a straight choice between playing with zombies (and animals that can do harm) or without. I, like some other players, love playing 7DTD without zombies. But what if there was another option - that of being able to switch zombies on at night only? I think this would give players a nice compromise - they would have a reason to build up defences around their base(s) and to be at home (or not - if they're brave) during the night hours, while being free during the day to explore, gather materials, do missions etc. Players would need to be a bit more careful with their planning and strategy but that might add a little excitement without having the full-on zombie experience (unless they want to of course).

It's just an idea I had.

There's a YouTube creator named JaWoodle who did a playthrough based on the book/movie I Am Legend. Obviously it used a mod (which I don't know if it's publicly available) that turned off wilderness spawns during the day while POI spawns were unaffected. During the night, though? Wilderness spawns were enabled and they spawned in high numbers. It was a pretty cool idea. The only thing they couldn't do was make it so that POI zombies would get hurt if they stepped outside during the day.

It is an interesting idea. I might even try it if it was an option, though I have a feeling I would get tired of it quickly and switch back to normal. But even so, they already have an option for no zombies, so it would probably not require too much time to add an option for night-only zombies, so I don't see any reason not to offer that.
