A Guide to Infection Mapmaking
Making Maps With our Undead Hands
More and more often it seems as if infection maps are overlooked as the casual, appealing, and enjoyable creations that they can manifest themselves into. And, in the rare case that one is made, it seems to be substandard, and not one to be remembered by too many individuals. Given that nearly the entirety of my forging experience lies in infection maps, as well as the general acceptance of such maps by testers, I decided to create a brief guide to two gametypes in particular: Journey, and Objective. The latter, as far as I know, is a creation of my own and I haven’t seen any others manage to replicate it. However, before I delve too far into those topics, there are some basics that need to be covered.
I. Balance
II. Loadouts
III. Weapons
IV. Realism
V. Teamwork
VI. Last Man Standing
VII. Timed Events
VIII. New Features
IX. Map Types
X. Promotion
I. Balance
Perhaps the most basic of all factors to consider is balance (I use the term basic as a term synonymous to vital or key). This must be considered with all maps, infection or not. However, there are a few key aspects that are known particularly to infection games. Overpowered humans (or zombies for that matter). Slow Gameplay. Camping spots. All likely to ruin a game for the members playing it. So how can one avoid these potential game-destroying aspects? The first is most likely (more…)

The Bunny Technique
Curiosity kills the cat. Greed kills the wolf.
The Bunny Technique
Imagine if you will, a wolf stalking about the forest. Up ahead, it hears some dead leaves scraping against the ground, crushed under the weight of a small animal. The wolf hunches lower, each step precisely placed to minimize the risk of detection. Cautiously, the wolf steps out into the clearing where the noise was heard from. A petite grey rabbit lies in the dirt, blood staining its sullied fur. The wolf draws closer, anticipating its future meal. Hunger lurks deep inside the beast. Its heart thuds violently in its chest, only fueled by (more…)
