maps Cruise Ship Map Idea

[archerj2010]

I couldn't find an appropriate section in maps for suggestions, so I'll post this here hoping the right person will read it.

 

I have an idea for a challenge map sort of scenario. Instead of working within a town or city area, what about being the sole survivor on a cruise liner? Seems kinda quirky, but within a little different parameters, i think it would be worth a play-through.

 

A few things would be key differences, there wouldn't be trees, but I'm sure that you could get more than enough planks from the hundreds of doors and furnishings on board...likewise saws wouldn't likely be on board a ship, but hammers certainly would. Nails could be find (not sure if accurate, but for sake of gameplay, why not?)

 

Farming probably wouldn't happen either, same for trapping (maybe rats) or fishing (could probably mod proper equipment to fish, but i wouldn't want to stand around on the deck of an infested cruise liner watching a bobber). You would have to rely on raiding cabins and the kitchens.

 

The game would likely be shorter...rather than months, you could probably survive for a couple weeks. Zombies would be fixed in number, and not respawn, but the much closer quarters would imply that chances of being caught and overrun would be greater. Since the number is fixed, you could conceivably kill all the zombies and 'win.' This may be controversial, but the whole map is a shot in left field, so there you go. 

 

Obviously this would involve a whole construct of new sprites, and is a huge order coming from someone who has no experience, knowledge, or time for the matter. But this is just an idea that I had that I wanted to share. This is obviously a talented community, and maybe the right person would come along.

Would be a good idea for a LastStand-challenge, but I don't know if the zombiespawning will be possible.
Maybe a challenge where you have to defend a stranded ship of some sort ...

The tanker shown is made by "dko112" inspired by "Doublebrain" =here=> http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/11318-tanker .

I only quickly added some water, sand and some kind of hole.

Yeah, that's exactly the idea I had in mind! Somehow the last stand thing slipped my mind, but yes, it would be perfect!

All Aboid!

 

I took some time to adjust the tanker made by "dko112" (inspired by "Doublebrain")

and made a LastStand-challenge out of it (challenge2-preset).

The level of detail is minimal, because I also have another project I'm working on.

Thanks for sharing your idea and I hope you like the (small) challenge.
