Title: Ward
Post by: ROCKWELL on October 04, 2016, 09:01:25 am
Ward will be my first ever zombie map and I'm very happy with how it's turning out. I started on it a few days ago and at this rate expect to finish it before Halloween. I'm attempting to theme the map more into asylum horror with dim lighting, eerie sounds with a claustrophobic layout. I've taken a lot of inspiration from Collingwood which was one of my favorite custom WaW maps due to it being one of the only maps that brings a very dark scary theme while still keeping its play-ability.

If the screenshots look pixelated or low quality, try zooming in on them. If that doesn't work, you can view the screenshots in 4K here: http://imgur.com/a/Ya0Vq (http://imgur.com/a/Ya0Vq)

Looks pretty good so far. The windows in your fourth screenshot could use some variation because they're all damaged in the exact same way.

Heres some suggestions / ideas:
- Blood written messages on the walls
- Is it possible to maybe add a jump scare by looking at a certain thing?
- Since it's Halloween upcoming, maybe a song Easter egg having to do with Jack o' Lanterns?

I probably won't do a jumpscare because it takes away from the maps replay-ability but I will definitely work on having sound queues that build up atmosphere and with all hope there will be some boss zombie scripts coming out soon that will help me achieve the same thing that was in Collingwood. I want the map to be laid up similar to Silent Hill.

I also plan on adding more blood but that won't be the key point to the eerie feeling of the map. On the first floor are what I would consider 'staff rooms' or just normal patient rooms while upstairs I will have the actual asylum rooms that will be much smaller and dirty giving off that eerie abused theme that comes with most asylum maps such as the ones in Outlast and Silent Hill.

As for the easter egg song I'm not really sure what it will be yet but I plan on keeping it kickass.

Sounds good! Yeah I do agree with the jump scare thing now that you brought that up. All in all, great map and you'll definitely have me playing upon release! :D

What's left:
- 'Security' room which is basically just the power room
- Upstairs Asylum
- Library

I also need to do some animation fixes for the 1911 but that shouldn't take too long.

Sorry for the slight bump, but I must say that this map looks incredible. It already looks like it will have a very creepy feel, I hope you master the setting and I have faith you will.
