Hello, drivers! The upcoming update is dedicated to an important part of the zombie survival game - firearms. I was not satisfied with the release version of simplified 3D models, nor with the primitive interaction of the player with the weapon. I decided to seriously dive into this topic and, to begin with, visited a shooting club for several days to shoot a lot with all the existing and planned types of weapons in the game.
Targets from the shooting club
Most games give a false sense of ease of interaction with weapons. Nimble and stylish reloading, if realistic, is the fruit of long training by professional military personnel. My experience made it clear to me that interacting with weapons is a complex task that requires training and endurance. You quickly get tired from shooting for a long time, and your shoulders begin to hurt and become covered with bruises. Reloading can be long and clumsy. I decided to transfer all this experience to the game character, since he is a young assistant driver with minimal experience in training with weapons. At the beginning of the game, the weapon will give strong recoil and waste a noticeable part of the stamina, which will gradually be leveled out by improving the player’s characteristics and using tuning for the weapon. The reload time will be long, especially for some weapons. No more throwing stores onto the ground during the zombie apocalypse. Resources must be conserved! ))

Revolver
Hunting rifle
The animations are not final and can be improved in the release version.
Also, in the process of studying the mechanical operation of weapons, I realized that in the old version, almost all weapons did not work correctly in some nuances. Studying the mechanics from YouTube videos was not enough and I decided to purchase two weapon models for personal reference, which in the end eliminated some misunderstandings in the mechanics. It was decided to carefully study all the technical nuances of each type of weapon and replace all sounds with the most appropriate ones for the presented weapon.

Since we have already taken on the deep study of how firearms work, we shouldn’t stop there; the update will also provide the opportunity to tune some types of weapons.

This is only a small part that is being worked on in the upcoming update, but, in my opinion, one of the most important ones, which has received the most attention and effort. It looks like this is the last news for the upcoming update, as work is nearing completion and testing will begin very soon. Thank you for your attention and stay tuned for news!
