Survival Cinder is a Call of Duty Zombie style mod with a Doom twist. Earn cash, buy doors, obtain weapons, buy power-ups, and gain secret powers as your team's kills increase! Set in the backdrop of a molten factory lost to demonic control, you fight your way to survive against the demons of hell, as well as the hazards of this desolate industrial disaster. Capitalize on massive weaponry created for war and unlock secret rooms hosting boss mobs for a greater challenge and chance for amazing loot. Do you have what it takes to survive?

Accuracy:
When creating this Mod/level I was aiming to recreate Call of Duty Zombie Mode and it was a great success. You must utilize cash obtained by killing the demons of hell and purchase weapons, doors, power-ups, and upgrades to name a few. As you progress through each wave, the enemies become more challenging and frequent, as well as gain a health increase of .01% each wave. A massive amount of code was used to make this all come to light and can now be enjoyed by all.

Visualization:
​This is the beginning stage, when I scour the internet, books, real world environment, movies, etc for inspirational photos I can either create or save in a folder for later use during the creative process.  This can also be sketches of how I want the world to look when creating it as well.

As with all of my level designs, I follow a simple workflow and procedures guide I created that has been studied and updated consistently since it's creation.  Utilizing all steps in the guideline allow me to streamline the process of creating all levels within my portfolio.  All images are taken from bookmarked locations to show progression.

CoD Zombie Mod meets Doom!
Flow:
When the creation of the map was in its infancy, the decision to go symmetrical with its layout helped to solidify its layout and direction. By symmetry as opposed to asymmetrical, it allowed for a smooth circular flow . This was further prevalent in it's earlier waves which only allowed for a counter-clockwise progression, thus keeping the teams on the same page. Symmetry also takes the thinking out of gameplay and becomes more about the firefights and movement component than wondering if you took the correct path to your buddies. It is my go to layout in any multiplayer team based game. It helps greatly reduce unfair play and frustrating map traversal.
