    Hi, Insanmiac here, long time forge user, new to Forge Hub. Might I present to you my submission to the Hub of the Dead contest, House of Horror:

    [​IMG]


    Map description: This once beautiful home has become temporary refuge for nomadic survivors in an infected world. 6-16 players

    This is an example of work accumulated over the years of perfecting my skills of forge and countless house maps. I feel that I have honed these skills and incorporated them into the creation of this map. You will see a fine example of merging, alignment, ghost-merging, and more...

    Enjoy the tour....

    [​IMG]

    This is the first floor, where five humans will start. It allows easy access into the house via the garage and front door.

    [​IMG]

    Yet another view of the first floor, to the right is the garage, barricaded and sporting a shield door. As you can see, zombies can enter here and easily access the stairs.

    [​IMG]

    This is the second floor. 5 more humans spawn here at the start. It can be accessed from the stairs to the attic, the back door and the patio.
    It has a hallway and one room, good hold out points.

    [​IMG]

    This is the attic, small as one should be. You can get here from the second floor or the roof hatch. Its sufficient as a hold out point, but can be over run as we found out early on.

    [​IMG]

    The roof, accessed from the roof hatch in the attic. Two grav lifts, on either side of the house, at the patio or garage, gives zombies a way on the roof to ambush people coming up, or to assault a team of humans guarding it.

    [​IMG]

    This is the backyard, complete with a tree, firepit, and a dog house. A man cannon can be found here, another way to get to the roof. You can also see the back entrence.

    [​IMG]

    This is the front yard. Here, the zombies start. They are immediatley presented with some choices. Grab a camo and go the roof, break down the front door and attack head on, or head to the patio and ambush humans on the second floor? You decide.



    Well, I hope you like the map, wish me good luck in the contest. I am glad to be a new member of Forge Hub and will probably stick around for years to come. Thank you!

    Use IMG code to put those pictures into your OP. To do that, put these in your post:
    [noparse][​IMG][/noparse] Rinse and repeat for all.

    As for the map, you did well with the house. However, I can immediately see a choke point at the door to the house where humans could camp and kill zombies repetitively. I suggest putting several more entrances to the house than the few that you have. Other than that it looks well-forged, and I look forward to playing it with a few friends. Nice map but it needs some improvements. 3.75/5

    Love the Video, did you do all that editing by your self? but still. Aesthetic look really cool and creepy such as that tree you made by the camping fire! This map look really Aesthetic but scary at the same time!
