I’ve still yet to hear any good ideas on zombies that can potentially go invisible like the Predator. Would the blob even be able to do that though?
Either that or some kind of “Stalker zombie”, like a zombie troglodyte that moves silently, has very high night vision, excellent sense of smell, and attacks via hit-and-run - hitting the survivor before retreating back into the darkness to strike again. Sorta like manhacks. Or the Bloodsuckers from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. minus the cloaking. Could probably be an upgrade, I feel zombies are a little bit useless when the sun isnt out, especially if you have weak scent and light step and night vision. I want to be able to fear the night without having to enable the zombie night-vision mod.
Either way, I especially like the idea of zombies that only ever come out at night and are specially adapted to it. Though I’m not sure how you might code that, for them to only spawn at night and possibly de-spawn (can you de-spawn at all?) during the day. Maybe they could just burrow into the ground like troglodyte and only come out after sunset.
Perhaps there can be two versions, one as a regular zombie and another in the likeness of the feral hunter / feral predators? “Feral stalkers” especially would be terrifying to deal with, for those with no light source or night vision.
