So I watched Night of the Living Dead and thought hmmm an opportunity for OpenXcom, I ripped the zombie sprite from Ufo2000 and converted it for OpenXcom and it works surprisingly well. I call the unit the Necrophage.
The aliens have developed a weaponised mutagenic virus that causes extreme necrosis essentially reanimating dead human cells, with only one purpose to hunt the living!
This differs from the Chrysallid zombies in that it can only create other zombies and when the zombie dies it dies.
The sprite could do with a little work possibly but then again it is meant to look like a shambling mess
My initial squad got wiped out by them and throw in a few resident evil sounds and its almost ready for implementing into my bigger mod im working on.
Brraaaaiiiinnnnns!!!!!
