adding the OG stripper alongside the nightclub zombie

[flakhappy]

I'm curious... why didn't TFP just add the nightclub zombie instead of replacing the stripper zombie with her. Seems to me that you should have both. I wish there was a way to add the stripper zombie back in alongside the nightclub zombie

They are updating their Zombiles to HD bit by bit. Think the only remaining one is Dark Shirt Tourist (Soon to be replaced by Light Shirt Tourist). Farmer, Nurse, Mutant/Alien, maybe one or two others.

They wanted zombies designed to be more ubiquitous, so they can fit in the general environment more. The stripper zombie stood out, so they went the nightclub/party girl zombie. Same reason why the football and cheerleader zombies will be removed in the future.

Well, tbf, the football zeds did tend to appear in specific pois, like the football stadium. It's awkward when they burst out of closets though.

The new nightclubbing zombie offers higher quality and better performance. The people clamoring for optimizations should take note: this is not just fiddling around changing art for the sake of change. This is, among other things, an optimization.

And because it seems to come up every time... there’s no evidence that the devs removed the stripper because of player objections like being too lewd. The reason for the change in art direction, according to TFP themselves, was because the stripper didn’t fit in with enough locations.

While I understand the fitting locations argument, I'd still like to see an actual HD version of the old stripper (especially if of the quality that was put into Ms. Nightclubber *winkwink*), perhaps around the fitting Points of Interest, you know what i mean... also, more variations on various strip joints would be nice too. Something with more neon pink and more runway or dance floor; more ravey and less cagey.

Personally, I think our best shot at more variation among individual zombies at this point is with texture swaps on the clothing. I would love to see the character creation system adapted to randomly roll the appearance of each zombie with slight variations in height, build, facial structure, etc. But swapping different clothes on each type would at least offer something against the identical clones look.
