any future for companion AI - dog for example?

[Davo]

would be nice to find a dog that you can befriend and helps attack zombies and protect an area your living in.

Gets away from the boring spikes and what not - need a good change for this game.

According to the Kickstarter for 7DTD, tamable animals are one of the features that will make it into the game.

TFP have speculated that NPC characters can be befriended and may move in to your base/area and assist you. I did not see them speculate on NPC animals but who knows what they are working on. I doubt they do either as lots of things wiht TFP seems to just be ideas still.

Ye i was thinking about that last night. having random NPC's in small fortified houses. that you can trade with and request certain items from you for single player. that way the people playing single player also have some sort of goal in the game besides killing, collecting and building (surviving) NPS saying he needs and axe. you give him axe he gives you food etc. even early game if you find one they can offer you shelter for the night for a fee. and they also help attack Z's if they attack

I've kinda tamed a bear. I keep it near my base and relase it when a horde hits

"Grow and harvest a variety of crops and hunt, track or domesticate a multitude of wildlife to live off the land."

Taken from the kickstarter blurb. I would interpret "domesticate" to mean taming :)

Exactly.

They'll either have to be "special snowflake" and unkillable or they'll die to pretty much anything they happen to pull.

If they're unkillable then feral hordes are trivialised (just hide until Dogbert kills them all) or if he's not flagged as unkillable then the very first bear you see will splat him stone dead. I've yet to see a single bear be killed by zombies, for example. Even whole wandering hordes get owned.

I want chickens.
I like chicken.
If I had a chicken I would name him Barf.
Barf would follow me around and be my lookout.

Whenever anything big&bad would size me up, whilst I be nose in ground digging for clay, Barf would piip.
Barf the chicken alarmbell. A good little fellah! :)
