MOB OF THE DEAD - TIMELAPSE 05/04/24
Added 2024-04-05 17:00:09 +0000 UTCThis week I've been continuing work on finishing off the mapping for this project! Here's a timelapse of me doing a bit of work in the mineshaft section of the map where you pick up the rigging!
TIME ELAPSED - 1h 8m 18s
This area went neglected for a very long time while developing this map, I just never really got around to touching it, It's so tucked away and you never really go here so I just kept forgetting about it lol. I may open up a hole in one of the walls and add in a bit more detail by having you be able to see through into an adjacent area, it's just so bland in the original map I've been struggling to think of what to actually put down here, if you've got any ideas be sure to let me know!
This week I've actually been mainly focused on storyboarding the first trailer for this map, I'm not sure how many trailers I'll be doing this time around (we did 2 for COTD) however this first one will be the main trailer. I don't want to spoil what I've got so far however I will say I'd like to do it as a parody of the old Scorsese gangster films like Goodfellas / Casino with one of the 4 characters monologuing over the whole thing, similar to one of the previews they did way back in Black ops 2 when they were first teasing this map. I'd like to maybe remake the "Where are we going" Music Video when the time is right too but that will be a bit later on in the marketing campaign. What I've got so far though I am pretty happy with! The trailer will require me to make some new areas specifically for the trailer (won't be playable in game) so you may see some updates in the future of me working on those areas!
Thank you!

I'd say the more the merrier. No already known or established perks should disturb the map. You can always make it PhD Slider or simply. Add your own spin on it... maybe like the Hell's retriever explodes before it returns to your hand or sth and add the option to turn this off to ppl who don't like it.

2024-04-09 19:10:47 +0000 UTCi may add a wonderfizz for the chronicles version, it could perhaps be in there but i don’t think i’ll be adding it to the base map, the Ray Gun i did forget about but the Vitriolic Withering does so little damage to the player it’s actually impossible to kill yourself with it lol

2024-04-07 12:15:26 +0000 UTCDon't forget the ray gun! Maybe you could throw the retriever at the PhD machine to bring it over from the docks

2024-04-07 12:09:30 +0000 UTCVitriolic Withering is explosive. There's also very few perks in MotD already, might make it more interesting to have PhD and/or Widows. Especially in that staircase area that has nothing in it.

2024-04-06 17:42:29 +0000 UTCSuch an easy answer. In the new area you can put a magma gat upgrade :)

2024-04-05 19:07:16 +0000 UTCnot sure yet, i don’t know if it’s really worth it as there’s nowhere you can really flop from and none of the weapons other than the rpg ( and mustang n sally) are explosive, might do tho! just not decided

2024-04-05 19:06:42 +0000 UTCthank you :)

2024-04-05 19:06:30 +0000 UTCthere’s already a chronicles mod for cotd, it was developed by another creator called ‘dead shot.mp4’ you can find it on his workshop page!
Shaun Morris
2024-04-05 19:04:46 +0000 UTCAnd one more question, if phd will be on map? :)
Анатолій Шестак
2024-04-05 19:03:27 +0000 UTCUnrelated, but I have seen that you are planning to make a fix for Cotd. Will there be a chronicles conversion, like here?

2024-04-05 18:33:31 +0000 UTCI was really banging my head against the wall thinking what u could add non-intrusively to insentivise more traffic in that corridor but couldnt think of anything. One thing popped in my head, u could put a guard hat in the window u can only pick up with the upgraded retriever and it'll put it on the character. Bonus points if it sat ontop of weasel's hat he already has on

2024-04-05 17:41:33 +0000 UTCI can already see a trailer where its showing the mob crew trying to survive then the zombies get mowed down from else where and it pans over to 4 guards the one in front carrying the death machine. That would be the most insane announcement
Jeiku
2024-04-05 17:29:17 +0000 UTCI think maybe a cypher or message on the wall could be a nice detail to add. Perhaps some more chains and blood could work. Looking great tho regardless 👍🏽

2024-04-05 17:16:43 +0000 UTCThere's a few grief mods already on the workshop, I may ask their creators if it'd be possible to make the map compatible with them, they'd be able to limit it to just the cellblock in their mod and change the player models to the prisoners / guards lol. I've not really thought about it too much but it would be really cool, I'll ask
Shaun Morris
2024-04-05 17:16:41 +0000 UTCOh hell yeah! I love it, I love the consistent updates, I can’t wait to see the trailer!
N N
2024-04-05 17:15:43 +0000 UTCHave you thought of releasing a grief version too? That'd be sick since you'll have everything already mapped out.
