What kinda of new maps would people like to see. Not looking for killer/survivor ideas but just map ideas. Personally I would hope for something inspired by Innsmouth but I would like to hear other ideas.

    Personally I feel like a lot of maps such as disturbed ward etc.. feels so empty now. And I'm not talking about pallets or something... but crows, trees, objects etc. Or maybe it's just me XD

    I mean, I would love to see some rework for the older maps.

    I'd like to see something like Lery's Memorial or Gideon Meat Plant, there are too many open maps in the game...

    I definitely think an abandoned prison would work well. You can play with height, open and confined areas- even extra areas unlocked by powered gens

    Yes I was gonna say this too. A prison would be a great map for DBD.

    Another good map would be a graveyard. With grave stones and everything.

    One more, how about a underground military bunker of some sort. Think Area 51 but instead of aliens it was something else more horror-based. Maybe biological weapon gone wrong (ie. zombies).

    I would love a hotel themed map! Hotel Cortez vibes if anyone watches American Horror Story.

    Also a grocery store-- can be similar to Haddonfield or Springwood with a neighborhood kind of vibe! Killer could be a butcher or something!

    The reason you feel this way is because things did change at one point. I think it was during the engine changing that the little pits and holes in the ground (i.e. all the texture to the ground) was removed. Additionally, this made survivors crouching in grass poke up, making that kind of hiding stealth much more difficult. I was at one point shocked that the developer team hadn't done anything to remedy the issue, but that was before I knew how big they had gotten.

    I want a mansion-like map that looks something like this, with 2/3 floors.

    stairs
    []<-||->[]
    []<-||->[]
    []<-||->[]

    []=room
    ||=hallway

    It wouldn't be confusing like Lery's or The Game, it would actually be a straightforward, simple indoor map that would be pretty easy to memorize.
    Certain rooms would be randomly generated and certain rooms would always be there. Some rooms could have large holes in the ground so you didn't have to go up/down the stairs all the time to get from one place to the other. Idk, I think it's a cool idea.

    I also want a highschool map.

    So like Betrayal at House on the Hill?
