[L4D2] There is only one way

[AshleyLesnie]

Hello everybody!

I am Ashley, game developer currently working in the Creating Worlds team. I am glad to show you the map we're making for Left 4 Dead 2: There is only one way. It is a co-op map and a survival map.

There are some features such as: Anamorphic lightning, custom OST (totally made by us), physics destructions in real-time, flamethrower running on gasoil, dynamic light generator running on gasoil, custom models, textures and decals, 4 natural disasters (meteors, storm, tornado of fire and earthquake) and more!

We also participate at the L4DMaps contest: "Natural Disasters"

EDIT: WE WON THE NATURAL DISASTERS CONTEST!



Now it's in a public beta, which you can:

DOWNLOAD IT AT L4DMAPS

DOWNLOAD IT AT MODDB

If you can see more before downloading it, here there are some screenshots and trailers:

Some feedback would be really appreciated! I hope you enjoy the maps!

The ambient light could maybe use just a tad more spread imo, but it still looks good. Has a nice feel to it though, I think the biggest thing that makes me say that is because of how contrasted the light to darkness is. Quite sudden but then again I haven't played it to see how well that pans out.

[Epifire]

So here is my pointers on a quick play though.

Here is a spot where the squad kept falling off part of the building and needing a hand up. This ladder also could use some sort of light around it so that the player can see where he needs to go, cause if there wasn't a huge pile of zombies stuck at the top it would have taken me a while to figure it out.



Also this spot could use some sort of physics push with a toggled player clip because I got stuck in this pile of rubble when it collapsed...



When I was holding off a bunch of zombies waiting for the helicopter this happened, and ended my game rather abruptly...



Other then those specifics and the ending crash I thought it was pretty good. Only one other thing I would change and that was the screen shakes applied in the apartments with the caving floors. While it wasn't to bad at first, it made it quite difficult to find the exits and made things a bit frustrating. Maybe some randomized screen shakes or maybe a bit less on the shake intensity would do imo. Oh and one other lighting tip, I would place some ambient lights behind far view buildings that would have logically provided sources like spot lights and fire. That would draw out detail of your other buildings better, so then there would not be this massive silhouette of a building outline in the distance. Just a mapping tip, other then that I think the skybox light was actually alright when I got in-game.

Was fun though, hoping to play it again without the crash. Hope these pointers help, from one modder to another.

So many env_lightglows...

Looks good though. The light glows look neat but do they obscure gameplay at all?

Whirlwind of fire must be the new debut in naturally occurring disasters
