Idea for a new Red Forest map
I had an idea for a while to add a new map for the Red Forest realm. This is what my brain came up with.
In my head I imagined a bridge across a muddy river with a few small one-story houses around, but not too much to be confining; village like. Sitting on the main gen at the bridge should give the player view of the open night sky which looks beautiful, but a silent death looming in the distance. Grey and black ash falling from the sky and static sounding in the ears which disappears as the player leaves the bridge and river. The map's edge is similar to that of GoJ with flowing rocks and tree trunks.
Basic layout:
Legend:
-J.G.: Jungle Gym/Pallet Gym
-GEN: A guaranteed gen spawn. The main gen would be at the bridge.
Size: 12x12 Tiles (i messed up the scale. Every square here is actually 1.5 tiles)
Name: The Bridge
The basic inspiration for this comes from my love for post-apocalyptic novels/video games (METRO series, Fallout, STALKER, The Outpost) as well as chemistry and physics (I am a chemist myself). Radioactivity is imo one of the most scary things you can face. You can't see it, smell it or hear it without help, but it's effects you can see very well. This type of eldrich horror is still missing from DbD and it would be possible to include it with a post-apocalypse enspired chapter or even paragraph. I also had the basic idea for a killer power that uses radiation, but it turned out to be too close to something like Chess Merchant that I scrapped it.
I would like to hear your thoughts. And if one of the Devs sees this: I hope I could inspire you.
