I made quite a bit more progress on the assets this week, and will continue with that next week hopefully wrapping up the objects/nature stuff before Friday, then leading into working on the map itself properly. Thanks for all the great suggestions/feedback - keep it coming!

One of the areas I mentioned last week that I worked on are the burning city assets which I teased here if you missed it:

This week I've been continuing work on the objects for the new map, Silo 22's big brother being the most exciting, and looking through the suggestions/feedback many of you have been posting.

If you have any city/town related ideas I'm especially curious to see those at the moment, for example Washington had the new largest city with overpasses and skyscrapers and Russia had the underground metro system, thinking of a few unique ones for this map like burned to the ground in rubble, flooded district, Coalition fortified encampment - no guarantees but along those lines.

My thinking with the zombie difficulty assets is to allow a new sort of progression where the higher tiered areas of the map have higher concentrations of the more challenging zombie types.

Very tangential but Silo 22 was the first object I made the same day we started planning Russia which got me really excited to release the map, I think it's kind of the centerpiece/setpiece, and these new bases have given me the same feeling again!

The goal for next week is to continue new objects, start on the landscape details and potentially begin making new items some of which might come out before the map. Update-wise the next version of Hawaii will ideally be ready sometime before this new map I'm working on.

This week I've been working on new vehicles and objects for the next official map. The exact geographic position isn't decided yet, but I've got some interesting locations in mind and aiming for something more mountainous and vertical. If you have feedback/suggestions for what you'd like to see in this map make sure to post them and I'll be keeping an eye out!

It's still aways out so don't get hyped up yet, though I wanted to let you know what I'll be working on (do you prefer that I keep it secret or should I hint at the progress each week?), in the meantime here's a small teaser:
