Ideas for level

[artenransk]

I've been trying to make a scary zombie level that takes place in my own town but i can't think of any story lines or anything cool to scare people with. I'd hear all ideas if you have any.

i can't think of [...] anything cool to scare people with.

Zombies would be good for starters.

i would be really sarcastic but the computer wouldn't display it correctly. I meant like how the town should get infected and stuff. or scary little parts like walking over to a pool and having a zombie jump out.

A long dark spooky tunel is a must. Make shure nothing happens right until the end of the tunel. Its funny how you shock the player who just gets used to the dark and silence when he gets jumped by fast zombies right at the end. And if you are a lazy mapper like me trigger a collapse at the end of the tunnel so the player has to backtrack but this time spawn zombies all the way back.


As for the story- just go for the standard "Young Jon and Vicky were digging something under the old church wall, were they used to bury those who died of the plague in the middle ages. They got sick. A month later all contact with this remote town was lost. Now you must enter it as part of the special science team to figure out what happened." And if you want you can insert a plot twist about military experiment or some stuff like that.
