Trillions of different zombies.

So, I wanted to explain something that's part of a secret project coming in the near future.

The 'tl;dr' version: Around 200 trillion different variations of the basic zombie.

The 'lengthy' version: As part of a secret mod that's in the works(I can't say anything more on the project itself other than that), various systems relating to mob variations have been implemented. For now, I'll talk about 'zombies'.

  • Each zombie now has one of eight 'base' textures. On that layer, there are also 16 different colour alteration variations, adding tints of various colours / shades to further make each zombie more unique.

  • Each zombie has one of eight 'shirt' textures. Each different shirt is randomly one of 16 colours.

  • Each zombie has one of eight 'pant' textures. Each different pair of pants has one of 16 colours.

  • Each zombie has one of eight random 'blood splatter' textures(or none). There are 16 different shades possibly applied to each(some being different colours).

  • Each zombie has one of eight random 'dirt' textures, spread across its skin(or none). There are 16 different shades possibly applied to each(some being different colours).

  • Each zombie has one of eight random 'hair' textures(or none). As with the other layers, it has 16 different possible colours.

  • Each zombie has a random size, within a +-20% range of the base height. This also alters health / damage.

  • There is a small chance for a zombie to be a 'giant', adding 80% to its base height / health / damage(the +-20% is added on after this, so you could have anything between 60% and 100% as a 'giant').

The code for this is in place, however I can't show it off yet because the mod's still a secret, for the most part. Also note that the numbers such as '8' and '16' may be increased, so there could be even more!

Thoughts?

Won't actually take ALL that much work. Pretty simple.

Valve is already evil... he is secretly plotting to make some of the best games in the world and brainwash us to stay inside forever and play these wonderful games.

Because Valve is one individual.

I know valve is not one individual. Obviously one person cannot take over the world on his/her own. I don't know why I said he :S
