Devlog notes

• First-Person Combat: The player uses a first-person controller to move through the level and fight zombies with ranged weapons.
• Zombie AI: Zombies detect the player, move toward them, attack at close range, and react to damage during combat.
• Enemy Spawning: A spawn manager controls where and when zombies appear to create pressure during the round.
• Weapon System: The weapon logic handles shooting, projectiles, hit detection, damage, and feedback when enemies are hit.
• Health and Game Over: The player can take damage from zombies, and the game ends when the player's health reaches zero.
• HUD and UI Flow: The HUD, pause menu, game-over screen, main menu, and settings menu guide the player through the full gameplay loop.
• Scoring and Highscore: The scoring system rewards defeated zombies and saves the best result between play sessions.
• Settings Menu: The settings menu supports audio volume, mute controls, resolution options, and graphics quality presets.
• Animations: The zombie animations were taken from Fab and adapted or shortened so they fit my own zombie characters and gameplay timing.
• Post-Apocalyptic Level: The environment uses ruined props, foliage, barriers, and abandoned objects to create a survival-shooter atmosphere.
