I'm not creating them as i have a massive doubt. I know that killing zchildren in a game is not illegal in the UK but is in other countries for a game to be released with the ability to kill them, but remember they are zombies, i feel they would make a scary, great and massive advancement to the game play if i create children scary zombies.
I want your ideas and problems with me creating them, or if i should even begin to consider it.
The reason is that i haven't seen any games with the ability to kill kids, not that i want to really, but with zombies as well all know that if they get infected no matter what there age they must be stopped.
Please post feedback.
Thanks!
Dead Space? Killer fetuses? You just don't see it that often.
True, I never really played that game but ill take a look at it!
I think it should be possible ... Zombie children! YES!
Its possible, i could make them, im just a little worried what some people might think, try seeing it from my point of view, imagine i get 1000 fans who love the fact it has children, then i get 2000 fans not downloading it or playing it becuase it has children or something.
You can make option to enable or disable child zombies :P
I dont think many games have kids because elderly people would criticise the game very badly but i love the idea, really scary ;)
Well i asked a few mates in college, and they were telling me about games having to be changed for US and Europe becuase the ability to kill children was there, BUT it was left in for UK release becuase nobody cares, i dont know if its frowned upon or just illegal :D
i have been following the mod for a while and i thnk you should make the little ******* it would be something new
Great :D
Yeah might aswell :D
Yeah just make it really obvios that they're vicious monsters and not little sweet kids who like to play ball
Well yeah, they will just be smaller zombies, they will look like kids but i might make them really fast :D
or you could just claim that they're dwarfish, dwarves with colorful helicopter hats
Nah, this is settled.
i think we need dead children.
now.
no other source games have them...
i think....
Yeah i havent seen them, ill give them a shot, and i just hope i dont get any complaints or anything!
Midgets? :)
I mean I can see how people will complain that you have a mod where you kill a bunch of undead kids. Think long and hard about this decision, personally I would go with saving myself a lot of grief and just leaving them out if I were in your shoes. :)
Not actual midgets just dead kids, like off the movie 28 Days Later, they enter a garage to get petrol, the guy goes into the store like an idiot, and kinds a kid that tried to eat him, it was freaky until he based his face in with a bat haha :D
Ill put them in, and if people complain then ill remove them, or release 2 versions :D
Play prey and then think about it :D they have something like that but more ghost childs. Not really zombie childs.
Hmm i only ever played the demo of Prey and was put off by it, maybe i should have looked more into it :P
Thanks
Make them zombies but just like scare characters no real encounters they cause mayhem and mischievous IE pressing a button that makes a crane move a car and drop it or something :D
Nah i want them to blend in with the male female and then children to, just to increase the realism and fun :D
just give long claws and fangs and you'll have no problems, after all, they won't mind if the are dead, and een more so if they are long clawed long fanged little monstwer that scare the crap outta people.
True, but i only want them for the realism, kids get infected too :D
yeaj they would work make them a tad faster then the adults or have them say random phrases
Haha, faster and weaker, but no random phrases :P
you should make it so kid zombies follow their parents and the parents try to protect their zombie child at all costs....
or even make pregnant zombies that can give birth to zombie babies
That would be taking it too far with the pregnant ones, im just going to make an extra enemy, although they are weaker but faster than normal slow or fast zombies, they are stupid as hell and don't think, they can ambush you but yeah, i prefair the dumb ones :D
make em but make em run really fast!
Okays!
The only problem with zombie children is that a major news source usually uses it as something to rant about. Then again, as a mod, it will probably pass under most people's radars, as Prey did with its "Wraith" children.
Also, I get sick of people making zombie children as a suggestion. Usually because the propose them in some impossible to code way.
Yeah i can see were you are right with the news thing, and pray did it so i might be able to get away with it.
You say you are sick of people making zombie children? WHEN have you ever seen anyone propsose this until now, and how an i proposing something that is impossible to code? they are just another model over the zombies only smaller and make creepier noises and do a little less damage, its not like im going to have it so they can peel bits of skin off themeselvs, hold your character down and force feed him the skin or can use the AI to decide were you will be in 6 hours of gamplay and ambush you when you are not facing a door or something insane...
Explain were else have you heared of zombie kids?
Thanks.
I worded it wrong. What I meant was that I'm sick of seeing zombie children being suggested.
And by impossible to code I meant **** like this:

Ahhhh ok i understand :D
Thanks for the reply!
Yeah the kids are done now :)
Do it, you live in UK so you can't be charged.
Its a mod i cant get charged, ive just noticed thats why there are no children in games that would have them e.g. Grand Theft Auto (ignoring the GTA2 2D games) and anything that involves roads and streets and real life, no children are their to kill, but the ones im making are zombies so i wanted to see if people would like this, or frown upon it.
Mybye make them a headcrab crab replacement.
Haha, i want children not babies :P
Like a big headcrab you know :/
Yeah, ah i get what you mean, but nah im just going to make them just like normal zombies only smaller and faster :)
they could crouch up the *** instead of jumping on the head xD
No.
You would probably be one of the first to include child zombies and I say go for it. As long as they are not real children it’s not illegal. And yeah there are some people who would not play the game because of this but I think it makes the game more realistic and I would be very disappointed if you did not include the children zombies. But either way I can't wait for the mod. Good luck.

(also kinda fanboyish but) do you use steam and if so what is your steam ID?
Ahh yeah, well ill risk it, and if people complain ill release a separate patched version :D
SteamID = decisruler
Thanks :)
yes you should, most games and movies NEVER have zombie children, what are they like immune or something?!
but yes you should it would make it WAY more real.
Yeah! thanks :D
How about if you don't call them "children". How aboooout them just being midgets!? Everyone wants to beat up a midget, go for it!
Hahaha not really, midgets are not in the millions :P
yeah would be pretty cool if you had zombie kids, ESPECIALLY if you managed to make the player feel guilty for killing them XD
Yeah, i dont wantto make them feel guilty really because they will be in mass :P
dont add child zombies. IT wont work out
instead put zombie caretakers etc etc
Moddb.com
Bit late :P
I've had more requests to have them than don't have them.
Also i already have caretakers.
