So as some of you know Im working on a Left4Dead campaign.
So far the official thread has been in E1st private forums, but I decided to show it to the public bit earlier than I originally planned. I've thrown few sneakpeaks in public forums but I'll try to post all the pictures here from now on.

Releasedate: Not anytime soon. By that I mean I doubt I have finished this campaign this year. I might have two maps on beta stage by the end of this year but by no means the full campaign. Only release date I will give is that if it'll be done, it'll be done before I go travelling around Asia in 2011 November.
I think that's the only deadline I can hold at the moment. Busting by balls about "Finish the map" won't make it come any faster.

Here's what I posted in the E1st topic about this project:

BUT! The point of this topic is, what you want to see?

I am thinking of this campaing called "School of the Dead" (Schools out, but the dead are back).

1. You start off at the top of the school that is remotely similar to the school Im going on. You work your way down the building and eventually you go out and back in through the main enterance of the school back in through the kitchen area where the first safehouse is going to be.
2. Then you go through the sewer system of the city (I really like the sewer part of death toll when no mercy sewers I didn't like so much.) ending at the city hall basement.
3. You work your way up the city hall to mayors office where there is working phone. You use the phone to ask where you can evac from the city. (this part is foggy but Im thinking of either Russian submarine or boat that'll pick you up at the finale) After the horde you can get to the safehouse.
4. You'll work your way though and out of the city to a forest where there will be another safehouse.
5. Finalé - harbour lots of warehouses and stuff like that. You'll call the pick up that you have survived to the harbour and they'll come to pick you up. Evil zombies try to stop you.

I'll try to make it close to my home town. Why? Easier to make buildings you know. Also, I always wanted to know what zombie apocalypse would be in my home town.

It won't be entirely accurate to my home town, because the school is closer to sea than the city hall and they both are like 10km off the shore.

But! What would you like to see?

Anyway, I try to get the campaign to have the same quality as Valves campaign would. Of course I have no contacts to the voice actors of the game so no custom voice files (except the radio messages). There will be and are custom models and custom textures.

There will be areas players don't need to enter. These areas are most likely dark and have no additional lights. However these areas often have medpacks, pills, molotovs and pipebombs.
If you "follow the lights" you'll get to the saferoom the fastest way, but you might also miss 2nd pistol, additional medpacs etc.

Screenshots
Most current version (screenshots with high settings)

First room you enter when you get off the roof. This room has been re-worked with the new pimped attic. The roof slope was pointing the wrong way and I had to rebuild that area to make it work. Im much more happy with this version. Through the window you see the double door you need to go through. To get out of this room, you can go through window or go to right into mantenance room and use the ladder there to go down.

Mantenance room. This room is new. Pink checkboard texture means that that texture is missing, there should be metal grate texture there. Let's not let that bother us.

New version of the attic.

Third floor. The lights now have models. There's also floating TV. In future, that will be a custom model.

Calssroom with custom schooltable model by me. Nothing new here. Just thought it looks prettier with better graphics.

Student 'hangout room" called aquarium. Nothing new here, just prettier picture.

Room under the library. Behind the camera there's a vent you need to go through.

View from the vent. Be fast or smoker will pull the last guy. There's no way to get back up there...

Work in progress office. Lights too bright and there's no details.

Old screenshots (with low&medium settings)
Starting area. You start off from this roof.

Old version of the attic.

Third floor (first picture is newer than the 2nd one).

Hallway.

Class room.

Staircase outside aquarium.

Staircase viewed from aquarium.

I apoligise as this is the only picture I have of the library with missing texture and broken areaportals. Behind the gun is the manhole and ladder that take you to the "vent room".

Ideas E1st gave me:
- Chokepoints
- It starts to snow during the level. In finale, the ground is white.
- Bigeye would like that the map would be set during winter time. Im afraid that's too much re-texturing for me to handle, but we'll see.
