Can we get a city map?
I was hoping that we would've gotten it with the release of Yui/Oni Chapter. Yui's theme was far more advertised, than the traditional/temple-esque and I was honestly under the impression that we would've gotten a city-theme map, even the camp was city based. My second time hoping for it was the Yunjin/Trickster chapter, where the background were literally city slums with neon lights..
When are we gonna make a map like it?

we need more modern looking maps for sure.

I am just so disappointed, they hint those themes or that kinda map so heavily and then either don't release a chapter map, or do it for something so miniature. There is nothing interesting in the Temple map we got for Oni, I dislike that map out of the two, and there was quite literally no hint in the teaser for it.. Not even when Yui 'enters' the realm. :/

Another city map, like, let's say, "Dead dawg saloon"?

All Kill is one of my least favorite chapters, but I think it would become one of my favorites if there was a neon city street map, I imagine huge buildings with electronic billboards that have rotating dbd themed advertisements

That would be awesome. Right now my favorite maps are the hospital, RPD, Gideon's, and Midwich because I find structures and artificial environments a lot more interesting to explore and play in than big open areas with trees, rocks, and random walls scattered about. A foggy, industrial 19th century city would be SO cool to have, or some catacombs / subterranean ruins, or a haunted seaside village.
When Descend Beyond was announced I was hoping for some kind of medieval town / castle / laboratory and was very disappointed we didn't even get a variation of an existing map. When Project W was announced I really wanted it to come with a Raccoon City streets map from RE3 or even the sewers from 2, but again I was disappointed.
Maybe next time...

How is that a city map?
2 -
tbh all non-licensed chapters should at least have one map. really not an excuse especially after they finish the realm beyond

My dictionary says that a city is the center of a town. Please explain to me why the Dead Dawg Saloon is not the center of the town.

A modern city map would be phenomenal. I'd love a Seoul nights kind of map for Yun-Jin and Trickster, though their studio is more likely to get chosen if they ever get a map. Seriously, though, dark alleyways and neon lights would make for such an aesthetic - you could create a few traversible buildings as loops, streets and parking lots for dead zones, create jungle gym tiles out of alleys or crumbling/ruined buildings, add a fire escape or two for a second floor area, and fence it in with a wall of high-rises, two of which can be entered as exit gates. That chapter's menu background remains my favorite to this day and it's a crying shame they didn't drop with a map.

Never seen that definition of city before.
I don't think anyone would consider an old west ghost town a city. A city is generally much larger and more high-density than a town, and the style of buildings changes to reflect this (space is at a premium in high-population areas, so you build tall, not wide, and there's much less greenery and unused lots.)

So you would suggest NPC's walking around? (high population area)

Nah. The game can barely handle two zombies, and random non-survivor people hanging around wouldn't fit the theme of the entity's realm anyway. While Glenvale is an awesome map on its own, I'd also like to see more of a modern urban aesthetic with tall buildings, artificial lighting, and ample concrete. There's no reason we can't have both of these things in the game.

I think a city or town map could play in on the actual horror factor of this "horror game". Imagine getting chased through the narrow streets of a dark, abandoned city, running for your life from a madman with a chainsaw. They could even add some street lights to illuminate dark places that activate once certain gens get done or some gate opening when the gen next to it is powered like on Gideon Pallet Plant. From a gameplay perspective such a map might be a bit tricky but since BHVR don't seem to care too much about it (Otherwise, how do you explain Gideon, Badham, Garden of Joy, Eyrie?) it would at least bring back some of that disturbing atmosphere someone feels in their first 2-3 matches of DBD.

I agree, I feel like there is so much potential. Their rule-of-thumb tends to be the fact that maps are the killer's world, something that is important or sacred to them, but I don't see why it ALWAYS has to be a killer. It'd be cool, for once, to see a survivor map of a haunting memory.
Create a studio map, with a stage, where Trickster was killing all his staff, and Yun-Jin was about to be next. Create a Night-Street map where a majority of Survivors got taken. Anything.
That is.. not a city. A city is the next thing up FROM a town, just how a town is the next best thing after a village. Calling DDS a town in of itself is generous, as it seems like a passerby village more than anything. If anything a City is a coalition of several Towns that turn into 'neighbourhoods' of the city. A centre of a town is usually just called Town Centre.. lol

It absolutely would, It would be amazing to run through alleyways, running through broken fences, or having to hop over a wall or two.
Navigate yourself through a ran-sacked ground floor shop, that is the bottom of a 5-story building and etc. Night lights shining onto a middle road.. God.. It would be amazing.

agree, surprised Mikala didn't get one.

Would have L O V E D a colonial era slum for the Twins. Urban enviroments are fun to navigate.
I know everyone hates indoor maps, but an apartment complex with multiple buildings would be fun.

I think a lot of people would've liked the idea tbh.

That is reserved for the Friday the 13th Chapter. It be ill be just like Part 8: Jason Takes Manhatthan.

The Artist’s map is artistic and beautiful.

That's the weirdest definition I've ever seen for "city", particularly since "city" and "town" aren't quite the same. Seems like it's trying to define something like a marketplace or business district.
Maybe use a more reputable dictionary?
