MOB OF THE DEAD - PLAYTESTING 07/06/24

Hello everybody! I'm happy to announce the playtest for Mob of the Dead will start soon! This is something I've been debating whether to do or not as I've been unsure whether or not it's worth the risk of the map leaking however after giving it some thought and talking to other creators I've decided it's something I will go through with after al...

ZOMBIES IN VEGAS - TIMELAPSE 04/06/24

Bonus post this week as I hadn't much to update you all on last Friday, tonight I've been working on designing a zombie spawner located within the casino inspired heavily by Gordon Ramsay's Steak House in Las Vegas! In this video I'm focusing purely on the geometry of the building and not worrying too much about detail / lighting, these will be ...

UPDATE - 31/05/24

Not too much to update you all on this week unfortunately, I'm still waiting patiently for the Black Ops 6 marketing to conclude before I make a start on the marketing for Mob. In the meantime I've been focusing on playtesting and polishing up Mob as well as focusing hard on some of my other projects that I still can't talk on much at this time....

MOB OF THE DEAD - SECOND TRAILER 24/05/24

The edit for the second Mob of the Dead trailer is just about finished! Bit of a short one this week as I've not really been working on much else other than getting these trailers sorted, I'm quite proud of how this trailer has turned out, It pays homage to the original bo2 trailers while also being something new, in a similar style to how we di...

Hello everyone!

Patreon hasn't been sending me any notifications recently for whatever reason so I'd like to just apologise, if I've missed any of your comments / messages you now know why! I'm trying to figure out what the issue is, hopefully I can have it sorted out soon!

Thank you!

ZOMBIES IN VEGAS - VISTAS 17/05/24

This week for Vegas I decided to make a start on some of the surrounding vistas that make up the skyline you see in game, the bulk of this map is set around the Pas Las Vegas subsection and much of the area will be accessible (including the top of the tower), as a result I must put in the effort to recreate a massive portion of Vegas so you can ...

MOB OF THE DEAD - FIRST TRAILER 17/05/24

The edit for the first mob of the dead trailer is just about finished! Just a few more shots I need to clean up and get ready before it's complete! Chromastone10, who created the trailers for Call of the Dead, wasn't available this time around as he now works for Raven Software meaning I've decided to take on the task of preparing the trailers m...

ZOMBIES IN VEGAS - TIMELAPSE 10/05/24

This week I've been focusing hard on getting the trailers ready for Mob of the Dead, obviously I can't show that off on here so here's a little timelapse I did, working on a little bar / giftshop area for the VIP pool in Zombies In Vegas!

MOB OF THE DEAD - OPTIMISATION 12/04/24

This week for mob I've mainly been working on optimising the map to run at the highest possible performance that I can get out of it. Earlier this week the map was running a little slower than I would have liked it to, with an average FPS of around 90 - 100 and occasional frame drops depending on the current state of the game, this is something ...

The questline to get the spoon and upgrade to the spork is fully functional and now works perfectly, there were a few complications with the Spoon animations not playing properly / voice lines not playing at the correct times but these h...

UPDATE - 15/03/24

Nothing much to update you guys on this week unfortunately! I've been a bit busy working on a few other projects that I don't think I can talk detailed on at this moment! I've been working on music and artwork for someone else's project (unrelated to black ops 3) as well as a bit of mapping too. I can't wait to be able to properly reveal that st...

OOGIE'S REVENGE - 08/03/24

This week I've also started on a small project for NoahJ's next mapping competition! The maps theme is videogames and I've chosen to make a map based on the Nightmare before Christmas PS2 game "Oogie's Revenge".

This is just a small project I'll be doing on the side in order to enter into the mapping contest, my main focus is still going t...
