You may remember seeing some WIP shots I posted a few years back for Left 4 Winchester, a L4D2 campaign based on Shaun of the Dead. Well... the campaign died and then was resurrected by a tweet from Simon Pegg who found some of the old WIP shots late last year and thought the idea was awesome. Needless to say, this celebrity endorsement shot new life in to the project and it is full steam ahead.
Here are a few renders from our prop artist, Josh England. He has been creating new custom props at a really fast clip.

I am mapping the interior and exterior areas of the Winchester. He is a wip screenshot of the exterior:

Oh golly, that looks great. I'm glad it picked back up.
Find bat.
Find survivors.
Take them to the Winchester and wait for all this to blow over.
Needs a pint too.

It's looking great, keep up the good work!
The finale better have queen music :v:

Obligatory
Sounds like a fun campaign, be good to see more

Don't stop me now during a horde.
Oh gawd yes.
fuck i love the idea of this; I was honestly surprised it had never been made yet, or hell no one imported the zombie master map, but still. I am looking forward to playing this very much
[QUOTE=a-cookie;39441817]The finale better have queen music :v:[/QUOTE]
That is an absolute guarantee. Why even bother making a SOTD campaign if there was no Queen?
This looks amazing!
So Pegg himself resurrected this eh?
Maybe the cast could come back together :3
But seriously, voices or not... any chance of custom survivor models?

It would be fucking cool if he actually voiced Shaun in this campaign.

It's possible isn't it?
I remember there was an old Zombie Master map that was styled after Shaun of the Dead. It was so fun to play on micspam servers, all you ever heard was people playing Queen songs and the Gonk.

someone contact pegg about this and see how much $$$ it'd take to get some voices recorded for it
because yknow
id put in money for it

I think we should actually start a Kickstarter or something to get Simon and the others to voice for the Campaign. That would be awesome.

Simon Pegg totally seems like the kind of guy that would be down for this, he's into video games, isn't he?
[QUOTE=simkas;39492679]Simon Pegg totally seems like the kind of guy that would be down for this, he's into video games, isn't he?[/QUOTE]
He has voiced in three games already so I assume so.

I remember knowing all the secrets on that map. Half the music was actually embedded into the map too.
Just an odd point that I always thought was weird in L4D how there was never a semi-auto rifle prior to the bolt-action sniper. You'd think a Winchester would have fit in perfectly, especially since Cricket bats are already in the game.

But there is no bolt action sniper rifle in L4D, only semi-auto ones.
Oh yeah, huh, I was thinking about the scoped hunting rifle.
A L4D campaign with traditional zombies, not fast infected. That would be something.
As many on screen as a typical L4D game, but can only be taken down by head shots.
"Who voted for this map?"
"It's on random."

I would run right past them. So unless there's some kind of hack to put hundreds rather than dozens on screen without causing lag then it wouldn't work.

LODs up the arse, son.

You're missing the point. it wouldn't be slow zombies [I]literally[/I] in a typical L4D game. The mechanics are all wrong.
It would have to have more choke points or obstacles to slow you down to make them more threatening obviously.
Looking forward to playing this! top notch models!
