Dimpy Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I was reading the thread Repurposing A17 Vulture AI/etc? and realized bears are not that interesting right now, mindlessly attacking everything they see just like zombies. This is a zombie game, so I understand that some of the appeal comes from stupid enemies, but in general, diverse AI types make for a better game, and I think TFP can let that shine through with the animals. Anyway, here's a first draft of what I want to see with the bear. I'm kind of iffy on 3 and 4, but though to include them anyway. Most of the changes focus around realism. Can easily outrun the player (maybe on bike too)can climbcan scavengeare capable of placing blocks, use it to build and fortify denscan be found as sleepershave massive stun chance bonusAre much less aggressive, instead using a complicated and interesting risk/reward judgement system. What you you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you you guys think? Can easily outrun the player (maybe on bike too) Unless your charater is called Usain Bolt, yes I agree. Bears can run up to 55kmh. can climb This would be very difficult, not only motion wise. I doubt this will be fun for the game. can scavenge Why? are capable of placing blocks, use it to build and fortify dens Hell no. Did you ever see a bear build a house? can be found as sleepers I think this is already done in A17, I also saw vulture sleepers. have massive stun chance bonus Would make them ever more OP. Are much less aggressive, instead using a complicated and interesting risk/reward judgement system. Yes, I do agree about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you you guys think? 7. Are much less aggressive, instead using a complicated and interesting risk/reward judgement system. I agree with you as well, this would be rather cool. Regarding the rest ones, I think pretty the same as iejen does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyuzen Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 yes I full heartedly agree, the bears need some more realism, I suggest adding a red t-shirt and a jar of honey. I also suggest ٌumero eight! An amazing suggestion, if you will. Have you seen the movie "The Revenant", with Leonardo Di Caprio? We should be able to cut open bears, clean out their insides and stay warm inside their bodies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimpy Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 2. can climb This would be very difficult, not only motion wise.

Did you ever see a bear build a house? yes I full heartedly agree, the bears need some more realism, I suggest adding a red t-shirt and a jar of honey. I mean, the Winnie the Pooh vibe was actually kind of where I was going with 3 and 4. Since playing Space Pirates and Zombies 2, I like the idea of having a creature that can do a lot of the same things that the player can do. I was thinking that bears could be a good substitute for the bandits in regards to filling that niche, and they could serve as practice for the devs in creating intractable intelligent-seeming entities. As I said before, I'm iffy on those though. 6. have massive stun chance bonus Would make them ever more OP. My explanation is that bears are relatively experienced and dexterous hunters when compared to zombies, so they would be a lot better at incapacitating prey. A lone zombie probably wouldn't even be able to get a scratch before getting stun-locked then ripped apart. Yes this will make them more powerful, but the extra threat this creates should be canceled out by '7'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
