    Hello there. Critters in my yard is a new little project I've been working on. The setting is a backyard where the zombie tries to rid the critters of his yard. The zombie uses his lawn mower (warthog) to complete his task. The critters have no hops but have sprint and must sprint around evading the mower

    I really love it when people use infection for new, fun games. The premise behind this seems great. Though ive already seen this type of gametype I think you bring alot to the table with the idea of bringing it to a backyard. If it is relatively small you should really go all out on the aesthetics. Maybe in the background make a house and maybe a street going by that cant be accessed. Just stuff to really make this map standout. The grill is an awesome first step in this direction.

    looking forward to seeing the whole thing.
    ps. you could merge a sanbag end cap into the grill. This way by having only a small bit shwoing you could add hot dogs

    Awesome BBQ, I want some of that grilled cone, it looks delicious.

    I'm not sure about the choice of vehicle for the lawn mower, I think a smaller vehicle like the Ghost or Mongoose would be more apropriate, as you don't see many SUV sized lawn mowers...

    Cool Idea, I definately want to play this.

    I like what im seeing. Just a few suggestions though. If I were you id try changinf the color pallete of the house because it just doesnt seem very much like the colors you'd see on a house. To make it more realistic make the walls out of submerged "brace large" They have a nice, even, grey color that would work well. For areas like the porch you should use the back side of the "brace large" as it has a striated color which I think would look great.

    Id suggest also adding a large window looking into the bottom of the house. You could build an innaccesible room inside with some aesthetics there. Something like a large table, a tv, and some chairs. If you want I can help you do this as I have am pretty good at that kind of thing

    In the third screenshot, there is a window above the koi pond. The infected spawn in a room and get to look out. Thanks for the other suggestions, I'll take those into consideration

    What happens to the infected? One life or is it just a little room for them to sit in? Might I suggest giving them mongeese? Make it moar epics.
