I get tired of all these zombies maps (purely survival) with all these skills and actual survival like RZO (Rural Zombie Onslaught) that have an object and if you fail that you die. Like what the fuck? I want to make a map that is purely survival, but it also evolves with the PLAYERS actions, not a preset cursor.

Story line: It was a late Friday night, you and the guys decide to knock a few back and watch some horror flicks. You guys get bored and decide to look in the attic for more. You find a tape stuck in the support beam, you find this odd in itself but what makes it even more interesting is that it is marked "FOR NO EYES". Who could have wrote that? So you stick it in hoping for more the the normal cheesy plot. Its a good zombie flick really realistic... in fact, is that your house? Is that your neighbor!? You are really freaked out but it gets even more freaky when the town sirens go off and a mandatory evacuation is ordered. What could have caused this?.....

That was four weeks ago, you now lie in your bed, staring at the ceiling wondering where your next week will come from and how to avoid the virus. But you are getting strange transmissions from the ham radio. It would seem there has been a cure, or at least they hope. But then again this could be like the failures that you have heard of.... Then again something is catching your interest.....



Current Map Progress: Ideas (Map terrain, units, triggers, etc), Working on basic terrain and units. Also testing out first person camera system (taking longer because I have to custom make)

Needs:

  • [*]Trigger Editor
    [*]Model Editor
    [*]Object Editor


Screen shots coming soon! Any help is greatly appreciated! Comment below and leave suggestions, questions or if you would like to help. Also PM if you would like to help. Thanks!

Lol, we started a Horror Map and now there arises a whole bunch of other maps with a similar theme... :ogre_icwydt:

Anyway, looking foreward to see your work, I agree with NewbChu about the story, you say you are tired of those simple survival maps and your story is not more than 08/15 :)
Keep up the work and gather some more ideas, then it will be a nice beginning.

I thought the story was alright, i like the whole video tape idea.
i would give it 6/10

The whole interactive aspect to it would be cool.
one of the options could be a house or something of the likes that has a radio or something that could add a timer to survive until help arrives.

I could do a cinematic intro to the map for you if you like, but im not sure if alot of people really care about cinematic's now days.

I would like to see how this map is going to turn out.

haha. yeah the story line has some holes in it. and im stuck on certain triggers. But yeah i'd like to see your map too.

Your story could expand more.
Here's my idea which only you are able to take it from me if you want :) just credit would be great.

Storyline:

You and 4 other friends were spending the last week of holiday in your buddy's house for a movie marathon. After watching a comedy show majority of the gang voted to watch a horror movie. So one of them pulled out a zombie survival movie and played it. Suddenly a huge shockwave hits the house breaking glasses, chairs flying into the wall and sending all of your friend onto the wall knocking you all out.

The next morning you guys woke up with a minor concussion not realizing what just happened since the house is so messed up. After walking outside you and 4 other buddies stared at the disastrous aftermath of an explosion near the city. With all mixed up emotions 5 of you decided to drive into the city and figure out what has happened.

After reaching the location you see dead bodies (or are they?) and total chaos which is unexplainable. Later you sighted a woman with dead body by her assuming that she was in grief so you guys decided to pull up to her. When you guys walked up to her something wasn't right......
(shes munching on the human flesh). As she glares back at you guys with hunger then started charging at you!

BLAM SMACK KICK WHATEVER! Now you can continue the story by surviving this madness.

There you go :D
