goddamn man time is just fucking flying by. like genuinely the last journal being 5 days ago is just insane, but i guess in real life stuff has been sorta taking my time away from this.

anyways my dementia aside (genuinely should get my blood checked for lead at this rate) huge breakthrough in zombie logic and zombie "feeling" in general. i added ragdolls back. I had to completely overhaul the old FUBAR system and made it anew. i kinda think the old ragdolls looked better, but oh well, these ones dont break

anyways the overhaul is with the navigation agent. i figured out how to add obstacles in a cheap way, so the zombies can avoid things, even things that move, like tanks and airdrops. its so badass seeing them circle around your tank or path around it like nothing.

fighting the zombies is already pretty fun, and i havent really added any good hitreg or damage multiplier types of logic yet. next ill see if i can add some active ragdolls, like zombies flinching and ragdolling their arms or body without being fully killed and knocked over. i feel like it would be cool to watch a zombie eat a 12 gauge shotgun when the shot isnt aimed correctly and keep coming. at the same time, i will add some more effects to headshots, starting with some basic blood emissions, but maybe i will add in some death animations or gore effects.
