New Left 4 Dead Campaign ~ "Signs"

[Jonny Phive]

I am working on a quick campaign that should be done at the end of the month. I know most of you from the past. A lot of you helped me test some of my old maps like DM_Facility and such... Since then I worked for 3 years with the Insurgency Team and made the Insurgency Map "INS_Ramadi".

I am finishing some of my TF2 and older maps for a new website soon, which I hope to finish and release at the same time as my Left 4 Dead map. I have alot of ideas for custom movies with custom content, but for now I am creating something that uses the current L4D models among some new models and textures I am making. The map is based on the movie "Signs" and is suppose to be zombies instead of aliens Sounds stupid but it should be a lot of fun. I put together this poster tonight really quick that I hope to use when I release the map. Any ideas or suggestions for the campaign would be greatly appreciated. Maybe some can help me test when we get the full game in a few weeks.

cheers.

Sounds really cool. I like the poster a lot. I'll see if I can think of any ideas

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Kickass to see the custom content community already in the planning stages, I'm extremely excited to see all the maps people churn out. I'll be checking up on this and I'm willing to help in whatever way possible.

 

[Omnomnick]

Sounds pretty cool!

 

[Ennui]

I will absolutely test this for you when the time comes. I remember you from your dm_facility thread here a few years ago, and ramadi has always been my favorite Insurgency map. Can't wait to see what you're cooking up for L4D.

Hey, seeing as this thread was made a year go, I'd like to know, is it finished yet? If so, could you post up a link to download it? It sounds amazing.

 

[CyberPitz]

I don't think much has happened, since the SDK isn't out...

At least, I'd imagine he will use the SDK for L4D...I guess you could just use the regular and push other things in it..

Ah hell, ignore me.

This thread was created on: 07-11-2008, so we're a little short of that year mark. Closer to...2 months

This map and another map are in the works (based around a mall), and the L4D SDK had not yet been released for the 3rd party campaigns to be fully implemented. The next big L4D update will include this, and the following weeks will bring custom content with it.

I liked the movie, I'll probably like this

Although I think the phrase under Signs should be changed, the word 'signs' is used too much.

 

[JackSploded]

Ahh. I was thinking the 07 meant the seventh month, which would be close enough. I thought it went month day year, not day month year, though day month year makes more sense.

I know I have'nt been online a lot and I don't have 10,000 responds but I would love to help out as a hardcore L4D player

 

[Gordon-Shepherd]

I really like the poster, especially because of your use of concept art makes it look much newer.

 

[CyberPitz]

I like the OP, because his name is Johnnie Five...mispelled, but Johnnie Five none the less.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

Cool poster bro.

It's what happens when you put those crazy Britons in charge.

This.

 

[Gordon-Shepherd]

especially bill. He looks pretty cool.
so what's the status on this? does it have a page anywhere?

Agreed.

I sounds a bit weird - Signs. Do not ignore the signs.

How about something like this?
