will there be state sized map?

[Knight]

will be able to make state sized maps for project zomboid, like the whole state of georgia or the whole state of texas.

Very good question, I would like to know this myself.

"Louisville, or at least the part on the Kentucky side of the river, Brandenburg, and of course Fort Knox will all be on the agenda"

From this Mondoid here: http://projectzomboid.com/blog/2014/06/march-to-1-0/

What's officially planned is basically this area (minus anything past the river in the north west corner) on Google Maps: https://theindiestone.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2016_08/57a50a3f52334_KYPZGM.png.1f2e9adb5a1eb8505904d8b92bcf0cc4.png


Orell is highlighted as I took this screenshot to highlight the area being teased in an earlier Mondoid seen here: http://projectzomboid.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Louisville-outskirts.jpg

As for custom/player made maps however, I have no idea if there will be a limit. We'll have to see once Creative Mode releases.

A map that big (considering the scale of the map in PZ), would be ridiculously large. It would have to be 20 to 30 times larger than what we have now, at the very least. Probably bigger than that even.

exactly, a map that huge would be great for multiplayer.

Sure, but you aren't understanding the incredible amount of time it would take to create a map that large. They have been working on the Louisville portion of the map for, I think, at least a year now. And it's not even going to be the entire city of Louisville, just a small portion of it. It would take them 10+ years to make a map the size of what you are asking. The map is hand made, not procedurally generated.

yeah, but they dont have to make them, it can always be people modding a map like that

20 or 30x? It would have to be more than that. Much more.

It would likely take dozens of modders years to make something like what you're describing. There would have to be thousands of players if not tens of thousands to suit a map that large. Otherwise it would just be a wasetland with nothing but zombies.

The number of players alone makes that kind of map highly unlikely to ever happen. A map where you could literally spend hundreds of hours running and never reach the end? That would be some kind of world record....

It would most certainly be the biggest hand crafted videogame map of all time, without a doubt. Daggerfall still holds the record with the biggest map in a videogame ever created, but that was using procedural generation. That is honestly the only feasible way to make a map that large.

If they do we're really going to need vehicles :(

I sure hope we'll be able to create state-sized maps when Creative Mode drops.

Myself, along with six others, are planning to recreate the eastern side of Louisville, southern and central Ohio, and a decent chunk of Indiana, as we are spread out among those states (respectively). If, for nothing else, it'll be cool to run around and see our towns and cities crumbling, and we'll have some fun making them along the way.

Barring any unseen technical or physical limitations (in-game or otherwise), it would be a pretty large addition to the current map while paralleling the states as they appear in real life. It would be a huge task, no doubt, but we have the time and the dedication ready at hand to put forth.

Here's hoping we'll be able to recreate them in-game.

cool

Procedural map generation would be amazing with this game...
