A quick preview of my upcoming pic.
(Note: This will take forever with my low skill, might not even be finished.)

Also, it's just a quick sketch.
It's going to be a 2400x1500 wallpaper.

Perhaps I'll give him a shotgun instead. Or a fusion gun, to represent the more sci-fi elements of the game and differentiate it from all the other zombie games.
What do you think? (Of the idea, I know the pic currently sucks )

@functionzero: How do you get those marker like lines? Any special programs, or what? I just use gimp for stuff, normally. @everybody else: I forgot to mention, I sometimes do stuff in Blender. I am getting rather good at using it, and know how to do mapping, lighting, camera work and all that jazz, but I often have trouble with the modeling. I might work something out there, too. I love working with blender, but it can be frustrating at times.

Yup, I love modelling in Blender too

Dude, I LOVE Blender!!!!

Whales, you currently use "rotate(rng(0, 4))" for rotation, shouldn't it be "rotate(rng(0, 3))"? Because 4 turns = 0 turns, so it makes the first orientation more frequent (it is listed twice in the RNG choices).

That is correct. Replying for visibility.

but will it blend?

This is my current bar map:

The squares of # are tables and the long tables at the bottom are pool tables.
It has a random variant of full glass front wall (1 in 5).

is it fine?


By the way, if you want to make building maps and see them in the game, feel free to ask me.

[Deon]

i should REALLY go to bed, but...

"A zombie walks into a bar..."



I will release a new version first. With slowed down zombie hulks (105 speed but more HP), with bars and new armors from Cacophony. You will be able to reinforce some body items (utility vest, jacket etc.) with scrap kevlar; also there will be a new "spectra vest" for army drops only: high defence and low weight (JA2-inspired).

[Tarran]

Looks fine. Now, about more buildings... I haven't checked the game recently, but there's no army bases right? How about army bases?

Or Schools?

Army outposts?

Hospitals?

Might I add restaurants and factories to that list?

Well-spotted!  Will fix later tonight.

Deon, I am continuously blown away by your modding prowesss.  Hopefully tonight I will have the time to go through and merge a lot of this stuff in.  Are you planning on writing an armor-mod system?  I can try to squeeze that in too, so we're not duplicating work.

Schools, hospitals, factories, and malls are all planned for the semi-near future as multi-tile buildings!

Dont forget teh pawn shops : 3  How about convienience stores? Like gas stations sans the gas. Crack houses. Full of drugs and guns, but with weak walls and busted out windows. MALLS. Could you possibly do a randomising feature for what shops are where and which exsist in the mall? It could be full of zombies and need to be cleared. It could also have security rooms.

[Deon]

Yeah, right now 22x22 (or is it 23x23? I think it's 23x23 ) is not enough for big buildings.

But I've planned veterinary clinics and sweatshops for the release after the closest one.

Are you planning on writing an armor-mod system?

Armor-mod? I've just added padded/armored light jacket and armored utility vest (with recipes to craft them and sew a light jacket); plus some items for military (military gas mask, spectra vest, ballistic goggles). If you ask about those, they will come in the closest release (in a few minutes) thanks to Cacophony.

Good ideas. We ran out of color codes, I think I will code all shops as $ because of that .

[jc6036]

I really like the idea of clearing out a mall and scavenging enough 2x4s to board it up, only to have it run over when a hulk comes through and wrecks every thing.

As long as you guys are adding buildings, how about Offices?  Large glass windows, lots of tables and random objects and business clothes.  They'd be totally useless, but they'd add a lot life and realism to the city designs.

Of course, there's not a lot of actual "Office" type objects and furniture to populate them with, but that's a small problem.

[Ordokai]

Guys guys, what we really could use is making sewers and subway tunnels interesting !
