BTW, is the Patch Test server only for the cool kids? I always see [XPC] people in it but its password protected.

Naww we just testing the patch, you wouldnt be able to get in anyway deu to version missmatch so..

Well, me, ZB, Lara, Uwasa and Ian played Grudge yesterday...and wholy FUCK this map KICKS ASS!!

We found NO bugs, the only thing was that there was really TOO many zombie spawns...

[kyben]

"Wholy FUCK this map KICKS ASS!!" is music to my ears.
But I don't think I have control on how many zombies spawn at once. It was a tad easier before the patch.
The best way I found to survive is to weld all but one door in a room and kill anything that comes through it. That way they don't come from all sides.
Me and Ian tried it and got to wave 2. ;D

[Abyx]

We got to wave 5. ;D

I don't think you can control the amount spawning either, but if you notice, Alex only have 3-4 spawns on his maps. You have like.. 7?

[kyben]

Haha, so he does. I'm not positive about this but I think it wouldn't matter how many spawns there were. The reason West London isn't as hardcore as Grudge is because it takes a long time for zombies to walk from one side of the map to the other. Grudge, no matter where you are, it only takes the specimens 5 seconds. Only a max amount of specimens are spawned, like if its a wave of 100, only 30 or so spawn, when you kill about 5 or so, another 5 spawn. I think the best way to fix this, would be to have the map bigger.
Also, if anyone who has a not so good comp, tell me if it runs as fast as the other KF maps, I can tune it down if its going slow for some people.

[Abyx]

Well it IS a really small map. It'd be cool to see it bigger, you got alot of great designs in it.

[kyben]

I've been working on Grudge and hope to double its size, kinda go around the Traders room. I've added about half of that. But I've also been working on a new map, Train:


Hopefully no one else was working on a train map, but it was such a kick ass idea for a map, so I went for it.

[Abyx]

Haha looks kickass.

[Hayato]

Yeah, looks very good. Hope ya finish it soon!

Holy shit man, that actualy looks scary!
It would be a honour to have another kickass mapper in XPC.

[Dastard]

Looking good, the only thing I might suggest is some various debris and/or grasses/other flora on the side of the train with the empty track/fire.

[zearoth]

That train looks fantastic, do you have a estimated time for the first release?

Oh, and I love Swamp by the way, mighty land of the Winchester!

[kyben]

Thanks guys. I might add more flora or grass, but this map already has so many things moving and going on, I'm afraid of how it will run on lower comps, we'll see.
I don't like to set release dates because I really don't know when its coming out myself. It could come out 2 weeks from now or a year.
