ZM_SAVATAGE
By GARGANTUA

I published zm_gargantua_v1 yesterday but I already had started working on this new map. I had lots of ideas for this one while I was working on ze_gargantua but I cant work on multiple projects. So this one had to wait....until now.

Name: zm_savatage. I dunno, just sounds pretty catchy.

Theme: Urban (modern city)
Type: A hunting map. I will create campspots but they can be overrun easily if you are creative and with a lot of zombie friends
Story: Will be revealed later. I need to work it out a bit and will publish it later.
Screenshot: It actually shows nothing much. And at moment I don't really have much to show. Will give new media in time. But I don't want to spoil and give away too much
Features: Rooftops! Some people might now think 'what?? you and your silly rooftops again!!'

Let me explain why I like rooftops so much:
It's just that I like to try and create realistic looking places. And in those places I think it's awesome to reach rooftops or other spaces which are usually not reachable so easily in real life locations. It gives me a thrill to do Le Parkour stunts on roofs in ZM while there's zombies trying to get you. And flying down from roofs to other buildings or to the ground is just awesome.

I kinda started out as first person with this idea in the world of ZM/ZE (ze_rooftop_runaway). And I kept it as a trademark. Some people make maps about movies. I make maps based upon real life locations which has rooftops. It's that simple.

Suggestions, ideas, comments and other kinds of feedback are highly welcome!

Good luck!

I'm sure we can expect a kick-ass map once more !

The screenshot looks funny.
*Wonders if that's all you did today... 10 hours in SDK today, and that's all?*

GL!

How is this map going to be? Small? Big? realistic? Detailed?

And what kind of city? Like Amsterdam? Or more like a big city.

Also look play some L4D, good rooftops/city.

LOL Yea! I actually made a lot more! But the skybox aint there yet and I hate to make screenshots with unfinished stuff. I rather show complete sceneries.
But don't worry, this only reveals a tiny bit of the map. I've made a lot more today (yea, 10 hours SDK phfew!!)

It's going to be very big map. I keep detail on lower level since I feel this map should be relying on gameplay. And I will reveal gameplay later on, it will be the main important feature of this map.

And for a change, this map won't be based upon a real location. But to give you an idea of how its gonna look like: office buildings.

I have L4D!
Quite like it too and I like the rooftop maps yea

[Mantasoul]

Office buildings sound interesting... LoL <3. I'm more interested in the gameplay too but it won't harm to add some nice scenery. All i hope is that ill be able to do some nice stunts without dying!

Don't worry, the scenery will be very nice! With less detail I mean that it wont be so crammed and compact like zm_gargantua. Its a bigger and wider map. And with less complex structures around.

And yes, one of the gameplay features is that you can pull off insane stunts without dying. I already tested some and its quite fun.

[Mantasoul]

Good Luck Gargy! I know you take care and attention to your maps unlike some people and ill wait patiently to test it! To be honest this is the most anticipated ive been for a map in a while!

Will you have slide jumps? (Where you pounce from the roof to another on a ramp and it speeds you up)

[Arkanoid]

Good, be sure to add some secret paths and give them to me!

[Qorrel]

Looks Kinda Rubbish atm, Its Only an peice of water and an static prop..

If you've read all the posts you'd realise that he wasn't going to show us the main part of the map until the scenery was completed. Next time read instead of posting potentially useless comments.

[Passion]

Good luck! And after this map please make some more epic ze maps

Yes, it will have some features like that
Thanks for your kind message

Quite funny coming from a guy who replicated rooftop_runaway in a way and even publishing it as an unfinished map!! Yes, I've read the heavy comments on your map. You received a lot. (i'm taking about ZE_Aotokai)

You're quite bold to comment me about this. If you would indeed read my text or even know my style, you would have known that I dont like to publish a lot of my maps. I rather wait till the end and let the player discover itself.

I Never Said i was publishing it, I Simpley wanted it Tested so i could Get all the Bugs out Early before I Start adding all the Deatil.

It Is Nothing like Rooftop runaway, My Map is Focesed Mor on the ground and the Last bit is just running across the Roof top, I could Say your map is like Mirrors edge.

Well, I published Rooftop_Runaway more then 2 years ago. Mirror’s Edge wasn’t even in development back then. You should have said: “Mirror’s Edge looks like Rooftop Runaway!”. Do some homework. I was much earlier with first person shooter rooftop action then them. I based Rooftop Runaway on Le Parkour/Freerunning which was just starting to get much popular back then.

Now, I consider this little off-topic discussion with you to be closed. If you continue to post, I will ask moderator to remove these silly messages. If you want more of it, you can always PM me. I’ll be there.

[RogerGargantua]

thx 4 the interest

[RogerGargantua]

UPDATE

A new screenshot! I have worked a lot on the map. But I'm only showing little pieces.

As it goes right now, I hope to release it within a month.

I will tell more details about the map later on. I'm kinda busy at the moment.

Have a nice evening
