Zombies Ate My Neighbours: In Need of Mappers!

[brad.dude03]

I have decided to do the ultimate Zombie map. I want to make a Zombies Ate My Neighbours map, and I'll need a team.

Do you enjoy zombie maps? Did you enjoy Zombies Ate My Neighbours (How couldn't you? If you haven't played it yet, get an emulator or buy an old SNES damnit!) This project is for you.

Right now i'm in need of skilled mappers for all sorts of things. Here's the current team:

Director: Brad.Dude03
Terrain, Camera, Etc: HappyTauren
JASS/GUI: HappyTauren
Object Data: Brad.Dude03
Miscellaneous things:Unscrewed_Magic
Imported Models: HappyTauren
Skins/Icons/Awesome: RagingSpeedHorn

Basically, we need all the help that we can get, so if you're willing to join the team (even if you only do single requests) we can gladly find a job for you.

What say you people? Who wants to make the ultimate zombie map?

I love zombie maps and have tried making one before (though I failed to lazyness), so I would like to help out, but what is it you need on the icon/skin front? I could probably do some icon work, basic skinning if needed, do a nice loadingscreen and preview picture and I am awesome so that should cover anything miscellaneous.

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

I can do Miscellaneous things....and things

 

[brad.dude03]

Excellent, so this just leaves one thing: Object Data.

If really needed, I could cover object data (I'd be coming up with all of the ideas for weapons and things anyway)

You know what, that's what i'm going to do. We'll start by having HappyTauren do the terrain and layout (I'll talk to him all about that, basically get the GUI and things out of the way [I'll talk to him about that too ] and then I'll contact all of you with individual requests from there)

If you're wondering how the theme will work, i'll put this sort of picture into your head: It's October, rather late at night, and here you are in the middle of suburbia. Very small quiet neighbourhood, yada yada. Basically, zombies start showing up everywhere, and since the government is nowhere to be found, you're on your own to stay alive against this brain-eating nuisance.

It wont be like trhe Resident Evil maps where everything is all military and quarantined and stuff, it will be just pure mayhem. The idea is for fun over realism.

Anyway, thanks for volunteering, I can't wait to get started

Sounds cool, so will it be more like mass slaughtering, like you start out only with a knife or something and unless you find another weapon you simply have to use that and go and mass slash the zombies? It would be really cool if the zombies was easily killable (quick attacks, mass blood!) but they came in masses!

IDEA!

EDIT:

Done the knife

I loved this game back in the day. Are you planning on keeping it singleplayer or are you expanding it into multiplayer?

It's going to be multiplayer. The goal right now is to make it more like Monster Madness (except with less suck) since that game is in full 3D and all the rest. I just want it to be an ultra fun multiplayer game that you would really enjoy playing

Rage, that's EXACTLY what I want to do. You start out with the only things you can find in your House (basic stuff) and you upgrade and such along the way. One of my ideas is a gun that shoots exploding chainsaws. So they get stuck in the zombies, start themselves up, tear the thing to pieces, and to ensure that the body parts don't come after you, it explodes and blows the thing into goo

It will be zones. You will go from one zone to the next on the map, travelling through the neighbourhood. Only when you've killed all the waves for the particular zone can you move onto the next. Zombies will be easy to kill (for the most part) but there will be LOTS of them.

i model quick and terrain slooooow

brad, inform me when you need to start terrain layout.

 

[Lord Wolf]

i can help with gui

 

[HappyTauren]

i can help with gui

sorry we dont need GUi help, as i will jass half the map, but thanx for interest

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, really thanks for the interest, but HT has us covered Just don't let us down for your big Modelling project deal. This map needs to get released, and we need YOU to do it. Once you get all of your parts done, then sure, but until then, you gotta work extra hard

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Object data as in the stats of the units or just making the units or both. I would love to help but hate to get involved because I am lazy sometimes... but I do love zombie maps. Could you fill in more about the job so I know how much would be expected of me if I took that spot?

 

[brad.dude03]

It would be units and items and things like that.

I volunteered to take that position, however, so I probably wont need you. Thanks for the interest though!
