    A haven from city life, Lake Harborage served as a peaceful getaway for people all across the state. Countless barbecues, family picnics, and summer swims have taken place on this warm lake's shores, but the sweeping Pandemic took the entire world by storm. Once a peaceful family getaway, this lake house serves as a last stand for survivors trying to ride out the apocalypse.​

    I don't know why you don't have many replies... Even though this isn't necessarily innovative in any way, it looks like a pretty fun map to play infection on. The aesthetics are really nice, and it seems balanced for the most part. I'll definitely download this one.

    Looks very nice. I like how you can barricade the stairs and the front door. easy to make, nice blockade effect yet still can be knocked down by the slashing, hungry claws of an infected individual who is bent on the desruction of your soul. How wonderful? luls

    But this map is built very well and should rack up some popularity quickly :)

    You know what they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
    I agree with you on the Innovation comment. I wasn't trying to break down the proverbial walls (unless you consider the zipline innovative, even though it has been used in other maps), but I was trying to make a fun, tight experience, that was well polished and fun to play. My main goal was to make a map that looked great and played great, keeping what was familiar to the average Infection Custom Games goer. Thanks for the feedback! Always appreciated.

    I will download this. I love the way this map looks and feels. Lot's of good mechanics and design. I might have made it a bit less linear, but like you mentioned the man-cannons will prevent camping, so...

    FOR THE TV use a shield door instead of a one way shield. Same texture, no magnetic effect.

    I really like how the elegance of this map truly shows how it is, its an excellent example of how a simple idea of a house map can be shifted and changed into a great work of art as well as an excellent map. I'm Def looking forward to more maps from you in the future. And dude jw can I add your GT I just need to ask a few questions.

    Now would you perhaps mind if I used this map in a zombie machinima that I am working on? I don't want to use it if I don't have your permission.

    I would Say that this is truly innovative. First of all the presentation is remarkable. Got my attention right away. Normally Infection Maps look bad on the outside but good on the inside but this is not the case. Yours looks great both ways. At first I thought that you just had a big ramp just going up in mid-air. But when I realized it was a Zip-line I was candidly impressed. Game play looks like It would be fun with either 4 or 16 people. Which is always good if you can't rack up enough people to get a game going. The name of the map is also original. GREAT job. How much Budget do you have left?

    This is a fantastic infection map! It looks great, inside and out, and the zipline, though not really necessary for a sweet infection map, is really cool. You've got my dl for this map, and any more you've made or have planned.
