MOB OF THE DEAD - CRAFTABLES 09/02/24

This week on Mob I've been working on the framework for craftables! They're both fully implemented and work perfectly, the Acid Gat kit and the Zombie Shield! They're set up as shared inventory meaning that once all parts are found you can craft them regardless of who found the part (this will stop people griefing in public lobbies). I've done the same thing for the plane craftable too. You're also able to build each craftable at any bench you would like as you can in the original map, many c...

MOB OF THE DEAD - TOWER TRAP 02/02/24

This week for Mob I've been working on finishing off the functionality for all the traps, namely the tower trap! I had this in the map a while back but recently completed the functionality for the Rocket Launcher upgrade.

I have buffed the rocket launcher for the tower as in the original map it doesn't do very much damage, the rocket is now a 1-shot until round 25 where it starts to drop off. The tower trap is my favourite of the 3 but in the original map it is severely under...

UPDATE 26/01/24

Hello everyone! This week I've not got anything to show off unfortunately but I've been hard at work on multiple projects!

MOB OF THE DEAD; This week for mob I've been focusing on polishing all the new features I have implemented over the last month, namely the Acid Gat which I still need to set up the craftable for and all the various Easter Eggs for upgrades / free weapons that are present on the original map (as well as a few new ones!)  I have also been working on getting Brutu...

MOB OF THE DEAD 19/01/24

This week I've been working on getting the Blundergat and Tomahawk ready for the map! The animations for both of these we're done by a friend of mine called Chens while i worked on scripting the both of them! I've also done the Acid Gat this week as well as started on the upgrade quest for the Hell's Redeemer and the free Blundergat easter egg. Both of these are still in development and aren't ready to be shown off just yet but they are in development!

This map is really starting to tak...

MOB OF THE DEAD 12/01/24

Mob of the Dead this week has mainly been miscellaneous tasks. I've been focussing on polishing up all the features currently implemented into the map before I make a start on adding new ones, I've also been rigorously bug hunting for any game breaking issues that may be present at this stage in development so I can weed them out now before they become an even bigger problem later down the road! 

I also added a model for the player when they are in afterlife mode! The model I'm usi...

CRAZYPLACE - TIMELAPSE 12/01/24

This week I've been working with Hybs on a crazy place style map, taking place in an expanded and reimagined version of the crazy place from origins! Here is a 40 min timelapse of the entire creation of an area themed around the fire staff!

TIME ELAPSED - 6h 43m 44s

This area is based on the concept piece that I showed off on here last week however it's been expanded with a lot more detail put into it. The core layout remains mostly the same. I wanted to show this off to show my p...

MOB OF THE DEAD - BRUTUS 05/01/24

This week on MOTD, Brutus is finally ready to be shown off! I've had a bit of trouble with his functionality last time I was working on him but he's finally in a state now where I'm pretty happy with how he plays! There's still a few things that need sorting out with him, for example he sometimes doesn't drop a smoke grenade after shooting off his helmet like shown in the second clip and he ragdolls when killed, but other than that his functionality is all there! I'm going to be redoing the F...

CRAZY PLACE 05/01/24

This week I've also been helping out with a project being made by my friend Hybs! He's working on a map based on the crazy place from origins, and I've been helping him build concepts on new areas / features that he can have within the map! Here is a few screenshots for the concept of a "Fire" area that I came up with!

This is just a concept piece so it's not actually playable, I made it for Hybs so he can get a bit of inspiration on what a fire area could look like and help build ideas...

VEGAS - ARCADE 05/01/24

This week on Vegas I've been working on porting some of the arcade machines from Spaceland to use around the map as side activities! Here is a showcase of the "Rings of Saturn" Basketball minigame! (WIP) I'm not sure yet on whether to allow these minigames to award you casino chips like the casino games I'm going to be making or just give the player points instead. I think I'd like the casino chips to be exclusive to the gambling machines, I want there to be stakes in the casino and I feel li...

MOB OF THE DEAD 29/12/23

This week I've been working on completing the geometry for the entire island as well as detailing a few areas around the prison. The whole island is completed now and is ready to be detailed! I'd like for the whole prison to be visible from the bridge for players to be able to look back at, I think it will be really cool to be able to leave your friends behind on the plane and be able to look back and see them running around on the roof! For this to be achievable however it means I will need ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all is well and you all have a good one! I’ll be back to work on my projects very soon, just taking a short break for the season! Thank you all for the support!

I’ve been building a computer for a present for someone so i’ve not been as focused on my projects this past week, more to come very soon though!

BUG FIXES 22/12/2023

Just a text post this week unfortunately as my PC is currently unplugged as I rearrange my space, i’ll be sure to make another update as soon as i’m back up and running though! This week i’ve been working mainly on bug fixes for Mob of the Dead, playtesting has started with a few of my close friends and they’ve been helping me hunt for issues on the current build of the map, this will be done more extensively once the map nears completion but it’s good to clean up all the major issu...

UNTITLED "VEGAS" PROJECT - 15/12/23

This week on Vegas I've been working on revising the layout of the map to try make sure it flows properly before I start working on any crazy details! Specifically this section at the far end of the map has been giving me a bit of trouble, I've decided to open it up and create a new pathway going around and behind the hotel, I'm hoping it'll give players more options on where to go when playing the map as before the area was very linear, only allowing players to go towards the hotel entrance....

MOB OF THE DEAD - PLANE 15/12/23

Another week, another Project update! This week I've been working on the functionality for the plane craftable as well as the take off sequence landing you at the Goldengate Bridge! The entire craftable is in and working along with all the challenges you need to complete in order to get the parts! I've been working on this for around 3 weeks and I'm so happy to finally see it working in game! This video is a preview of the Plane Take-off Sequence!

It's still a work in progress, there's ...

MOB OF THE DEAD - PERKS 08/12/23

This week I have also done all the effects / sound design for the perk machines, making them warp in and out like they do on the original, I made the textures for them all individually in my own style and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out! The base for the FX was made by GCP and he released it for free on the mod tools discord for anyone who'd like to make similar effects for their perk machines!

I'd like to do multiple different variants for each perk machine and have them cycl...

MOB OF THE DEAD - AFTERLIFE 08/12/23

This week dobby has finished the script for the afterlife mechanic! It has been implemented fully into the map and is ready for playtests, here is a small preview of it working in action! The fx and animations are still a work in progress as of right now but all of the core gameplay features are present such as being able to power on doors/perks, zombies ignoring the player and increased mobility!

It also means I am able to integrate it into my script for the plane quest that I have bee...

UNTITLED "VEGAS" PROJECT 01/12/23

This week I've been focused purely on concept design for my Vegas project, specifically about the 4 main characters as well as the wonder weapon for this map. The map will be set in the 2010s and I'd like to do very stereotypical caricatures reflective of that time period, similarly to other IW zombies maps, so far I've made concept drawings of what I'd like all the characters to look like other than Andre, if you've got any ideas on a look I could give him let me know! 

So far the...

MOB OF THE DEAD 01/12/23

First update on the patreon! This week I've been working on some of the vista around the prison, mainly the courtyard area behind the wardens office! it's still not 100% done but I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out! In the original map this area is very dull and there's not much going on (10 year old game lol) so i've tried to bring it to life a bit more by giving it some colour! I've also taken a bit of inspiration from how the area is done in BO4 blood of the dead, I've even left the...

Welcome!

Hello welcome to my Patreon! I've been making custom maps now for a little less than 2 years, you may know me for my last project "Call of the Dead" from earlier this year!
