Making of available!

Hi guys, zombies and bots, to celebrate the 35,598 download in l4dmaps.com, I’ve made a making of and design notes for my portfolio, and also some beauty shots. If you are interested in level design or gameplay construction, you will enjoy reading the article.

You can find the making of on your right, under “Download the campaign” in the sidebar.

Download Warcelona

The infection has crossed the Atlantic. And it’s about to hit the Mediterranean.

Thirteen weeks after the first infection on America, regardless of the high security measures taken by European governments, a plane crashes in the outskirts of Madrid and chaos gets hold of the continent. Effecting an aggressive anti-infection policy, France has closed its borders with Spain and ordered to shoot each and everyone who tries to cross –infected or not. A massive exodus takes place from all over Spain to the most important city on the East of the country, where there is supposed to be a grand evacuating plan by CEDA and the Spanish Military: Barcelona.

In Warcelona, you take the role of the original characters of Left 4 Dead 2, who are refugees in a dilapidated church for survivors in the middle of a wrecked neighborhood in Barcelona. They decide to go out and try their luck with the CEDA evacuating plan.

PS: will you find the secret zone?

the website’s almost ready!

Hello everybody! Our webpage is almost done. Right now, we have a section with media, another one with information about the team, the download section, and also a Bonus page.

Yes. It’s password protected. “Where can I find the pass”, you say? When the campaign is ready, you’ll have to find a secret zone and then, when you defeat the boss you’ll encounter, you’ll get it. Of course, you could always type “Warcelona web password” and do a Google search (if somebody has posted it on the internet), but you’ll enjoy it if you find it by yourself, believe me!

On the other hand, we’ve been doing a lot of playtests with the people of versus custom addicts, and they enjoy the campaign. They helped us a lot doing gameplay balance and finding bugs, so thanks you all guys!

Ah… good ol’ dev times. Son, when I was young all this were fields of dev textures!

It sounds like we will just need one or two more compilations of the campaign until we’re ready for the official release. Keep checking our website and twitter to be up to date with the project and know when we finally release!
