Downcast; The three player zombie survival with rpg elements, inspired by Borderlands and Fallout
Downcast is a project I have been working on for about 1 month. This is the first map that I will be releasing on a public scale. I am looking for suggestions and criticism. I won’t need a team of any kind to help with the project. Im hoping this map will be slightly different than the ordinary.
-------------
Storyline
The map is about a massive infection that mutated most of the world’s population. With the military either converted or dead, the governments decided their only hope was to nuke their own countries. Hauling as many people they could into bunkers, the nukes drifted into the earth and exploded. The aftermath; a dusty barren wasteland covered in remnants of civilization….and zombies. The nukes had failed, and now humanity has to rebuild again.

The Map
The player takes the role of a human survivor, trying to earn a living in this new and harsh world. Not only will enemies drop random loot, but there are also jobs. Jobs take the role of ‘side quests’, and are replayable. They pay well, and there are many different kinds. You will need cash to buy new weapons, ammo types, armor, and equipment. Certain traders will also teach you new skills at a small price, so long as you have the experience to learn it. Of course, there is a main plot that will lead you to unique enemies and bosses, not all being zombies. As well as all this, there is a Save/load system.

Life can not only be found in towns and settlements, but all over the ruins of the past
Phew, hope this looks ok :/ Remember, Im looking for helpful suggestions and constructive criticism. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the demo! [For those that do not know what Borderlands is, click: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PTmV9y1VoY]

The demo version of the map is in Epicwar here: http://www.epicwar.com/maps/113243/ (filesize due to music). It has limited jobs, a patch of terrain taken from the actual map, and shows the mechanics of Downcast. Please, comments are needed! [Note: This is intended for single player use for bug and beta testing. It will function with 3 players, but is not recommended].
