Thanks for your reply, man. I'd really love to chat with you sometime, but for now, I'll just leave you with some suggestions.

Are you considering of creating a simple, temporary loop that would make the game fun for long enough for you to implement the full one?

I think that mechanic where zombies that carry keys to areas, like a police station, where you could find good gear, I think that it would be a great way to give the players an objective.

A way that you could balance weapons is by putting players in a situation where one would be desirable over another. I played for a few hours, and I didn't find a zombie in a building a single time. If zombies did spawn in buildings, I can see SMGs and pistols being much more useful than rifles.

One mechanic from the first game that I think you need to add (in case you DO decide to let them spawn in houses) is the inability to fire if zombies are too close. This would make longer weapons (like the vss, famas, m1, etc) very hard to use, making ple player opt for smaller guns.

Another way to make long guns more preferable would be to use projectiles instead of raycasts for bullets. Adding a rigidbody simulates bullet drop, which would make weapons with longer barrels and more powerful cartridges very ideal for sniping.

Seriously, hit me up at some point. I have ~5 years with unity, and I could probably give you some technical tips.
