Map 03- 14 Mile Tombstone

The Bunker
OK, so this is the big level the one that needs to shine cos its the whole style of the film, which is hard cos in l4d2 terms the actual bunker is not that big and has no linear route really, so deciding the journey through has been difficult, in the end i decided to establish a linear way through while still feeling like your exploring the suicidal depths of the facility alongside trying to get the rooms from the film right, the corridors have to be a little bit wider than the films for game play reasons, the route is not altogether authentic but Ive tried to keep things recognisable and feel fluid, it has panic events and takes you completely through the interior part of the bunker including places like the meeting hall Logan's study, bubs room, the freezer where Logan is killed etc.. every thing's in there.

The thing that i love to hate about the bunker in Day of the Dead is the claustrophobia, the white walls are blank and heartless and surround you wherever you go, but I'm also working on details to make them feel more natural too thin pipes across the high parts of the wall etc.

DAY of the DEAD: Survival and scavenge

Something to get you in the mood

only last week day of the dead was at round about 1500 views on l4dmaps.com, which im grateful for seeing as it hasn't been released, i decided i would like a few more views and was eager for people to get a taste of what im doing, so almost as a joke i said "when i get 3000 views ill release a survival scavenge teaser!" well either low and behold i checked yesterday and it was over 3000 lol, so in celebration of receiving 3000 views and to keep you wall keen i thought id share this video which is one of my favorite fan vids for Day of the Dead, enjoy!

oh yeah...im keeping my word already started on the survival teaser
