**Dead Zone: Survival** is ready. Here's what I built as the MVP:

**Core Mechanics:**
- **First-person movement** with Octree+Capsule collision, sprinting, jumping
- **Procedural world** — rolling terrain, roads, 18 enterable buildings (houses, industrial, military, shops), 120+ trees, crates, barrels
- **Loot system** — glowing loot points inside buildings with food, water, medical supplies, ammo, weapons (Axe, Pistol). Military buildings have better gear
- **Hunger & thirst** — constantly drain, sprint drains faster, starvation/dehydration damages health
- **Bleeding** — infected hits can cause bleeding, use bandages to stop it
- **12 infected NPCs** — wander idle, detect you by proximity, chase aggressively, attack in melee range. Gunshots alert infected within 80m radius
- **Combat** — AK-47 rifle (find + loot ammo, R to reload, magazine system), melee axe, hit detection against infected
- **Grid inventory** (TAB) — 15 slots, click items to consume food/water/meds
- **Dynamic day/night cycle** with shifting lighting and sky colors
- **Permadeath** — death screen shows survival time and kills, respawn fresh
- **Minimal HUD** — blood/hunger/thirst bars, compass, time, ammo count, status effects (BLEEDING/STARVING/DEHYDRATED)
- **Audio** — gunshots, infected growls, hit sounds, pickup sounds, ambient music
- **Atmospheric fog** and overcast lighting

**Controls:** WASD move | Mouse look | LMB shoot/melee | E loot | TAB inventory | R reload | Shift sprint | Space jump

**Next Ideas:**
1. **Dynamic Weather System** — Add rain with particle effects, dense fog that reduces visibility and infected detection range, creating truly terrifying low-visibility encounters
2. **Vehicle System** — Scatterable broken-down cars that can be repaired with found parts, giving you faster traversal but attracting infected with engine noise
