They'll become especially important if Whales implements farming of some description.

Maybe our fake imaginary seasons are the same length, but if you go by actual weather and temperature, winter and summer are definitely way longer.

Spring is that nice month and a half period between when the snow stops and the days crest 90 degrees, and autumn is the same but windier and less rainy.

Thats just how it is. :P

Also, I've been thinking more on what else I'd want to do for my own mod. Would anyone be interested in playing the following?
Remove all zombies.
Add two new enemy types, Shriekers and Assblasters, that are similar to the current Shriekers and Spitters but definitely not zombies.
Small worms get replaced by Baby Graboids.
Replace the spawns of almost everything everything else with regular Graboids. Graboids will gain the ability to rarely spawn Shriekers.
Shriekers will also have the ability to spawn Shriekers.

I think your heading towards the point of surviving with luck instead of skill, if not already passing that point.

This will only work if you spawn people with a lot of food and a shovel.  Conversly just spawn us with a shovel and make it a run-n-dig game :p
Though seriously unless zombies get a lot weaker it will be hard as hell to live.

Aren't all games reliant on luck and chance?

Isn't life for that matter?

I fail to see the point.

I personally like it, adds more difficulty to the game and makes it alot more awesome when you do something insanely difficult.

I have trouble recalling a game where you can end up dieing no matter what you do. You should still be able to survive no matter how bad the conditions are, just maybe not the way you want to.

In an unrelated note, I realized I never use drugs in my playthrough's of the game. The only I do use are cigerettes since I need some form of XP boost. And once I do start using them, bad things happen to my character. Like instantly dying after a few uses :/

Hey, not everyone can handle the challenge 8). But for those people there's always Barbie Super-sports or whatever :P.

Just a warning that it will put some people off.

Like the no map idea though.  ;D That alone makes me want to try it. As soon as I find a way to fix this bug.  >:(
