What is SkyFall?
SkyFall is a custom map made by me with GSC for Black Ops 2 based on buried map. The initial version was released in 2020 as a proof of concept, demonstrating the feasibility of making a true custom maps in Zombies mode with a lot of effort.
So, what's the reimagined version?
The reimagined version represents what SkyFall needed to be at the start. As indicated, the original version served merely as a proof of concept. The Reimagined project started in end 2022 (yep its been more than 1.5 year of development (with a lot of pause, but skyfall is not the only project that i work xD))
Why a survival mode?
The map is designed to work on all platforms: XBOX, PS3, STEAM, and PLUTONIUM. Consequently, I couldn't incorporate optimized elements specific at Plutonium, And do the project run in bonus on all platform without surpassing the limitations of BO2. Therefore, I've streamlined this version into a survival mode, omitting the main quest and boss fight to accommodate these constraints.
Will the original version ever be released?
Perhaps. It may require a complete code overhaul to optimize it for Plutonium since the final project will never run correctly on PS3/XBOX platforms.
Why a open beta ?
Bugs can still occur, I correct them over time even if some will just never be corrected in this version. Remember that a fix need to work on all platforms so if the bug is caused by a game function of the original map i cant use replacefunc to fix it, i need to make an alternative code and find a way to stop or detour the function.
A new project after this custom map ?
Not with GSC, I'm a little fed up with Black Ops 2's GSC since I've already achieved almost everything that could be done with it between my public and personal projects, making a zombie custom map was really the last thing that I wanted to do.
