Roland Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Zombie looks are way more important for that critical first impression. Gameplay is more important for that critical word of mouth positivity. Then there is player retention: Eye candy lasts only as long as it takes to get used to it whereas gameplay lasts for as long as you don't feel bored by it.

You pretty much described attractiveness IRL. Lol. Your appearance gets people talking, while your personality keeps people talking; you can't have one without the other or you'll largely be unsuccessful. The same can be applied here.

The Gronk Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Looks and personality will only get you so far. Unless you can perform well when it matters the most then I'm afraid the relationship is doomed. Entendres? Give me another one! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is player retention: Eye candy lasts only as long as it takes to get used to it whereas gameplay lasts for as long as you don't feel bored by it. There are different ways to tackle the looks of a game. Some games just roll with whatever they have, and call it a day. Some games know how to decorate their environment just enough so it never gets old, and those are the games that always get praise for being so immersive. Games like Left 4 Dead, Skyrim and Subnautica, as examples, don't have thousands upon thousands of different looking NPCs, but they have ways to fool the player so their world feels much larger and varied than what it actually is. Just like The Walking Dead, both the show and video games. Now, my point was that this game would benefit from following a similar strategy, and no, it doesn't have to be a new and fancy algorithm that randomizes the look and feel of every zombie in the game or anything else that delays the game development.

TSBX Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Wrong that zombie looks are less important than gampeplay? LOL, guaranteed public opinion is on my side, and TFP. Are you having a stroke? First of all, you're the only one arguing gameplay vs. graphics for some reason. My first post was in reaction to your idea that TWD offered no value as a reference for zombie art because "the plot was trash". Secondly, MM himself has stated time and time again that art development is divorced from programming so even in some bizarro world where the conversation WAS about graphics vs. gameplay, it's a moot point. Going further down the rabbit hole, zombie designs ARE important enough that we've seen several different iterations over the years as the old ones are deemed lacking or obsolete. The proof is in this very thread! I'm not sure if you just forgot, or if you're gaslighting but what the discussion WAS about before your FB leaked onto the forums was variation vs. uniqueness on zombie design. Which is now over.

The Gronk Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Huh, did not know that. I use the incredibly sneaky way of using English spelling instead of American spelling. Not so much as a way to get around the profanity filter, I just happen to be English... that's how I spell things. At this point I find the profanity filter more of a hinderance than a help. When perfectly cromulent words like ♥♥♥♥ensian are blocked it starts getting in the way of actual communication. Analytics works although I dare say the first four letters of that are quite offensive to some rectal retentives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the filter gets a lot better at natural language processing it's going to have far too many edge-cases and loopholes to be of any real use. I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned recently that this game is for a mature audience.
