Coming to explore this school was the last mistake you and your friends will ever make. The horrors in this school will make sure you don't come out alive. Or something cliche like that, lol

More screenshots to come as map progresses. Some screenshots will be in day light to show off detail.

Hello guys and welcome to something a bit different! Normally I release a map that functions before I upload it, which I like to call the Preview Variant, or V1, and then work my way up. Sometimes my preview versions are literally finished maps that just need a few tweaks. But with this map, I'm doing things differently - working my way up from ground level, so everyone can see the progress as the map goes on. I call this the skeleton variant, or V0. This way I can hear what people would like, and it also lets you see how far the map has come. So far I have made 2 rooms and a corridor, and made some, interesting tree effects.

For this map I would really love community feedback, and I'm always up for taking on peoples ideas. Hope you guys like what I have so far, and below are the ideas and essentials I want in the map:

Essentials"Essentials"

For this map, I am concentrating heavily on environmental factors, from the screams of victims, to light flickers, to things falling over while you hide. I want this map to be immersive as possible while being sensible with resources.
Lighting in this map is also a key factor. This map is very dark, with the only lighting really coming from broken lights, desk lamps, and light shining through broken windows. This will really cooperate with the heavy environmental factors
Detail is always a key factor for maps, but for this map I feel it needs it a lot, as it is in a school, I can't just make a blank room and move on. I've added things such as paper on the walls, rulers, chalk boards, lockers bags etc to try and make it feel like an abandoned school. However my object count is high already so this may need adjusting

The Tree Flood Theme"
As you will notice by the screenshots, I have made (or tried) to make a rough flood looking form, with bodies inside. What you can't tell from the screenshots is that these trees actually move to make it look alive, and by adding a few gargling and munching sound effects, it now sounds like a horrible flood form, that is slowly eating away at its victims, and with the gobo effects, it looks like it's sucking the blood from them to :D. I really want this to be the theme of my map, and make it so if you see a flood form, you are in the wrong place. Only problem is that trees don't take in light, so they remain bright even in dark areas, something which I will try to work around. If anyone has any suggestions for this, fire away

V0 Notes"V0 Notes"

Before I put this map up, I had made an outline of a school for aesthetic purposes, but until I can confirm I have enough objects, I have moved that structure to the side. If worst comes to worse, I'll just have to not show the outside of the map
Before I released this map, the floors were made out of 128x2 / 64x2 primitives, blocks that do not use your light map but generate light. However I soon decided to replace these with 48x64 primitives, as the wooden floor alone took over 200 objects
