"Walled City" Is a house map in Garry's Mod For The Zombie Survival Gamemode and is currently in rotation on all Sunrust servers.

Design

The houseplan that was sampled

The Design of the map was made originally for the ZM gamemode, and with the self imposed restriction that the playable area should be no larger than 1024^3 hu. Earlier ports of the map to zs included rooms around the edge of the map in order to add extra sigils not focused in the central building. These additional rooms have been removed in the latest version.

Gameplay

Topdown of the playable space

Butcher's Den is a multi-focus house map with a small barn located ~512 hammer units away from the back of the house. The overall playable space of the map is ~3072² hammer units. The z-spawns average ~1536 hammer units away from the closest engagement points.

There are several potential sigil locations, many of which are single-entrance with only a few double entrances.

Development

Older versions of the map mostly featured Half-life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source content. Laster releases added assets from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Resistance and Liberation, and from friends of johnny moe including: Jakobi O'Brien, Short, and Stuffy360.

-As Butcher's Den was johnny moe's first map for the zombie survival map, it underwent continuous development from 2017 before being officially released on the workshop in 2019. There are a dozen older versions of the map under the names zs_butchers_den and zs_bdf. Forever was added to the title in the 2020 update as it was supposed to be the last version, but the map has been occasionally updated as late as 2022.

-The map is set in a nondescript location in south-western Texas. The house itself is inspired by an actual Victorian farmhouse plan. The theme is inspired by the film, ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Texas_Chain_Saw_Massacre The Texas Chain Saw Massacre]''<br><br>

-Beta versions of the map lack a lot of outdoor geometry compared to the later releases. Earlier versions were also hard for the survivors to win due to having too many entrances. The map has become more survivor-sided with time.
