Heya folks!

I've spoken with the testers, and they like this idea, so I thought it was best to run it past you all.

5.1. I was intending to add in the new zombies with this update. Thinking about it, I think I'd like to get all the new stuff I've got planned into 5.1, test that to make sure it works as well as possible, then release WITHOUT the new zombies.

And then do a 5.1.1 with just the new zombie models in it (as it will allow us to focus testing just on those to make sure they work ok).

And apparently, I can make a poll! So I did! Please vote and leave comments of your thoughts. :)

Cunning linguist said in discord that if the 5.1 build ever finishes “there will be a new end game” (as opposed to milestones). Was he referring to this particular build?

Id say release with new zeds. Working on balancing and new stuff may change the dynamics of that new/balanced stuff once new zombies are introduced.

Ah, I should clarify. The "new" zombies are just new models for the current zombies so I can fix up the various hitbox issues and maybe clean up the animation controller a bit.
