"Wild Wood Retreat", is a Open World map for the Garry's Mod Zombie Survival gamemode. It was developed by Fragger

Wild Wood Resort was designed and competed in the Sunrust March 2023 Mapper's contest, which would meet the specifications of being within a 2048^3 hammer unit play space. The map was completed within the first two weeks of the contest, being the first submission.

Design

Fragger's Office

Wild Wood Retreat, while lacking the appearance of a resort, takes place in a small box valley, featuring a small building led in by a closed tunnel entrance. Wooden structures line the cliff faces, arching over the canyon. The map has a strong focus on nature and lighting.

Gameplay

Topdown of the playable space

TBA

Development

During the development process, there were a few experiments with phys_ball_sockets, constrained entities, and ropes, but these were subsequently removed after testing, due to unreliability and concern for player interest.

-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.
