Author Topic: The Zombie RP (ALPHA)  (Read 3263 times)

Just by comparing the top-down view from the BluZone 2 topic and the OP, you can tell it is a copy of Knaz's.

This shot reminds me a lot of the first area in Zombies in the BluZone 2. I helped Knaz with it a bit and we frequently hosted Deathmatches before it was used with the RP.

And the cubescape that surrounds the small town is very familiar...

The first stuff is stolen i think...

Looks to much like Knaz's
Guys, like I said in the Important information and FYI, I based a good chunk of the build (not the story, AT ALL) off of Zombies in BluZone.  I intended to make this private, as in only for myself, but I figure there was no point to that.  I miss Zombies in BluZone and I want something else like it.  So I guess I should give Knaiz some credit for giving me a base idea on the build.

I'm not giving up on this build like every other build, (about 57 I think O_o) so even if its a copy, and no one likes it, I'm going to update this thing and improving it until its just as good as any other pro build.

This build is only 44% done, and that is just the base, I will continue to add more and fix/improve things.

This may be my last (major solo) build as it will take at LEAST a year, and that is IF i finish it.

Almost 50% of learning how to build well has come from this, I want criticism, I know this build is FAR from perfect.  I would personally only rate it 6.5/10 as of right now.

To finish up, this is will be a beast, I want it to be one of the top builds when I am done.  I doubt I will be able to do that in detail, so I intend to do it in size. (though there will be an a sickening amount of detail when it is finished.)

EDIT:

I have also shown Knaiz this build on his server, he was surprisingly supportive.

Here is some constructive criticism. Don't use someone else's stuff as a base idea, come up with your own building style and improve upon it. In the end, it will be much better and worth the while.

Too late now, the only thing I copied on the buildings is the shingles, really.

EDIT:

I also learned that the best way to become imaginative is to use others ideas, see where they did well, see where they did not.
Then mix and mash it and soon you will be able to build up anything you want.

I came expecting a half-made brick house colored bright red. You killed that expectation. Good job.

Lol, I can totally see that.

It looks like a rip, 90% of the stuff I see here is just moved buildings and/or recolor.

I wish he would accept help.  This is pretty sweet.
Oh well.  The thing is terrific, hope you make more progress. 


If you had actually read anything in the main post or my other comments, you would have no reason to post this.

Not to mention that moving the buildings around would be more of a challenge than rebuilding them altogether.  Please read and think before you post.

The only similarities I can see is the layout such as terrain and building shape. The builds looks unique. Inc also got his own style.

It is heavily inspired by BluZone and I think it was a bad move to copy it so much as you did, because of the high ambitions you have.
It probably won't be a big success. Just a guess.


I think you should improve your cubescaping skills though. It is too repeated at some spots.

Most of this stuff is old, but the farm yard is recent, I am going to update all the terrain to look like that.  The farm is only 65% done though.

I think I will change the buildings and the walkways so it does not look so much like bluzone.

Thank you for giving me some support and much needed constructive criticism.
