Let me begin with a small statement. In order to encourage mappers for the Winter Map contest (Being as I am a judge I cant win a prize, so Ill just be submitting a map), I decided to make a Resident Evil map based on the Snow tileset. Other than the fact that is just a map on snow terrain, there really isnt anything else about it, so I would have scored low on the Theme score anyway. So anyway...

Story: To be honest, there really isnt enough to be called a story, instead it is a compliation of multiple stories based in a level selection system. However to unlock the "Final Story" missions, you must beat the game on Hard mode (Zombies have more HP, Bosses take a lot more hits). However, to achive such a feat, one must play the other modes to 'train' and make your guns better, increase your hp, increase inventory size, armor, and weapon damage. Most of this game is almost a carbon copy from the hit Byond game: Resident Evil Online (Most of the credit goes to the creator of it for such good ideas), however due to certain limitations in it, such as the lack of max upgrades, or the max zombie limit being only 9999, this surpases its limits (And lag...jesus christ did it lag). So how about those modes:

Story Mode: As said, this is the various missions that will be played, the game being considered 'won' when the player beats the final mission. (Note: This is NOT based off the stated Byond game, this is what makes my game origional and not a complete copy)

Survival Mode: The player chooses HOW many zombies you must kill to win the level (The more, the better the bonus), And the limit of zombies allowed on the map at once (This mutliplys the bonus, ex. if you set 1 as the limit, you get 0.01$ for every kill, 100 limit results in 1$ a kill, and 1000 limit well...10$ a kill, but you wont stay alive long.)

Team Survival Mode: The player chooses Kills and Limit, however the first team to actually kill the required amount recives the bonus, the other team recieves 50%

Timed Survival: The player chooses a time limit and zombie limit, the more zombies you kill in the time limit, the higher the bonus.

Protect the Teammate: A Player is choosen and MUST survive, if this player kills the amount of zombies needed, or survives the time needed, a bonus is obtained.

Protect the VIP: A NPC target is designated, and must survive to recive bonus, Kills or Time limit is the requirement of winning.

Endless: Do you really need a explination?

???: If you have an idea, please let me know!

The guns are pretty much the same ones I've always used, if you take the time to google them and find them you'll know the ones Im using. However you can upgrade:

- Damage
- Clip size or Storage Capacity
- Reload speed
- MAYBE firing speed (Trigger based of course, but Ill have to toy around with it)

And for the other upgrades

- HP Max
- Inventory Size

Screenshots (Better ones will come, but first Im making a Lite version):

Just another fun filled day.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know, and yes Ill be making the post sexier and adding more information and I make more.

20 minerals says you wont finish this.

Your on, Try the Demo ;D

I would suggest 100 Spawn Limit and 2500 Zombies if you want a fun match

Dark, Just don't be a judge. It will be easy to find some other people.

EDIT: What I might actually do is just ask for judges the two weeks before it ends so If more experianced people rather then yourself or Viett ask then I can let them.

Question: Will the VIP NPC move around and follow a player, or will they just sit there and look pretty?

Map is pretty SQUARE, the shape.

Now now I can judge just fine, just give me a checklist of things I should see and I point them out, and I critique maps very well.


I actually have not decided on that yet, but the NPC is the final piece of the AI, whereas the zombies will all attack to it.

Improve Terrain. And I don't remember alot of zombies loving the snow.

I added a new version of the demo with a little better AI, if you want to test.

First time I have seen a map with so many options to start off with. I'd probably play Protect the Teammate. I'd like to see the finished version. You can also make a capture the zombie queen, probably some mini game like zombie tennis? Something that would want to make the people return. I believe it is better to add a mini game like this to a map then to make a whole new map with this. So people have options!

Lets say I beat one of the missions, is it vicotry? Or will i have the choice or chance to play another mode?

The game does not end until all players leave. You can play and replay levels to your hearts content ;D

Zombie Football EUD™.

In my personal opinion you should come up with a better concept for this map. Otherwise pretty much name it "ZOMBIE ONSLAUGHT" because the whole concept of your map is to "change settings" and kill without any objectives. It appears that you are under achieving in the winter contest, I'm not impressed at all.

I think what he's trying to get at is what classic splitscreen games tried (and sometimes succeeded) to have; totally customizable gameplay. He did say he has a story mode if you didn't read.

DM is aiming for fun, and enjoyable action without any storyline, so you can simply go back and kill more and more with your friends. Besides, it IS an unofficial entry. It doesn't matter how much work DM puts into it, its not entirely MEANT for the contest.

alright, i apologize then =)

good luck on the map DM.

*Cough* You failed.

yet another resident evil. i think theres enuf res evils out there xD

Viet why did you have to necro this.

cuz he had to
