* Blood spatter now accumulates on zombies, players and even weapons.

* We only having males in t-shirts, vests and jeans active in the build currently (pending the new clothing/women being made to work with the new texture overlay system) but we already have much greater variation in zombies - and there will be more to come.

* The new blood effects mean that on the player character blood from wounds will be able to spread, and give the player a visual cue that they are bleeding. Or, perhaps, their companions an indication that they've taken a bite...
Clothing that gets bloody will need washing or replacing, and we'll also have the option to make sure they never look quite as good as new again.

* Next on the list are visible bandages, while it's also worth pointing out that the overlay system means that t-shirt logos can easily be placed as overlays allowing for any texture placed in a marked PZ directory to appear on shirts. 

* Caveat time! As mentioned in past blogs, we've done a ton of optimization work in preparation for the animations update - but there's no guarantee that these features will all look as good, or indeed be present at all, on really low spec machines. It's too early to tell how much we'll be able to do, but as ever we'll have everything set up so it can be toggled on, off and in-between in the graphical options menus. The sheer amount of blood on display in this vid is also fairly high, and will be balanced once we've got everything integrated - but will also be turned down/up in the options if you're no fan of gore, or perhaps like it that little bit too much...
