Community-Created Chapter?

Has this ever been done before or has every chapter been designed by the devs?

    I think they've used people's suggestions before, but I don't think they took a full creation

    It hasn't. They read feedback and might bring stuff into it based on community requests. E.G. people where asking for a way to punish survivors for doing hex totems, and they came up with Hounted Grounds and recently with Retribution. But still it's probably just their ideas/concept at the end. Thing is with a community created chapter would be that it's probably not doable.

    Normally they prototype new killer powers. They might be designed with a theme in mind, but at some point that theme and power might even change, when they try to figure out. And my guess that perks are protyped and go through different states as well.

    All this makes it hard to make a community designed Chapter/Killer or Perk. It's probably possible. But only to a limited degree and with a chance to disappoint, because the team would probably have to do adjustments to the concept afterwards. Stuff like Community designed cosmetics is much easier in comparison. You kinda get what you expect without disappointment.
