Hey everyone,
As you know, OP Productions launched the California map for testing several months ago, which recently concluded. California has been a huge challenge that we undertook with the desire to realize a much larger map with ample space for both players and zombies to roam the countryside in large, fun-seeking packs.
We’ve continued working to improve California so we can deliver a finished map that can be played and enjoyed by everyone. As we've analyzed the data collected from the test server over the past months we have arrived at several conclusions. While it’s important to shoot for the moon, the reality of our resources and the technical limitations of optimizing such a large map have led us down another path. As a result, California has been truncated to focus on Caliwood and a few of the surrounding towns.
While the new map is similar in size to Colorado, fewer impassible areas result in an overall gain in playable square kilometers. We are proud of the map as it now stands; a vibrant travel destination, the Caliwood area sports a variety of tourist destinations and a night skyline that contrasts the lonely savagery of the Colorado wilderness. Additionally, we are happy to report that the life-challenged denizens of the area will be more lively and able to range more freely throughout the map. Their population is also on the rise... We hope you bring your jogging shoes and your SPF50!
In the coming weeks, we'll relaunch the updated map for an intensive, limited-time stress test. The results will enable us to quickly formulate a rollout plan for the new map and identify any final adjustments needed to polish the experience. From all of us at OP Productions, thank you again for your patience. We're really excited and looking forward to your participation!
