    Yay, we'll have wang dungeons soon (hopefully).

    There will finally be a reason for a premium server.

    I hope the zombies have better AI than the fairly stupid knights that we are stuck with. ( I have read on that, but i hope they have better AI than just pathfinding and attacking humans )

    It reminds me of the tank from left 4 dead... seeing the tank sparks the similar response though slightly different "Uhhh... kiss your ass goodbye" be fun if we could see some zombies based of the left 4 dead series....

    We're sadly very likely to be delaying the release of that huge zombie due to the amount of animation it requires. I might have a crack at it this weekend but it's quite literally twice the size of everything else, and we'd rather have a few smaller boss-style zombies than just the one end of the world Goliath.

    As for zombies based of L4D - that'd be plagiarism, plus we're going for a very different feel compared with L4D. I'm sure someone will be able to make a mod with those kinds of zombie though.

    Just release it when you feel it's okay. Anyway you can add more zombies in future builds.

    Hmmm... is the problem animating the zombies or getting the animations in the game?

    also... wow, quick reaction to my post.

    The problem is the time it takes to animate something that large convincingly with the amount of actions I'd like it to be able to take.
    We could dodge the issue and make it a "static" boss like kraid in metroid, but I want it to be smashing through walls and crushing people, and it can barely do that if it's not running around the map.

    @Arlus: that's the plan.

    Maybe it should throw zombies over castle walls... that would make up for it being stationary... kinda like an accurate zombie catapult.
