Zombie Apocalypse Project
Zombie Apocalypse 2024
I met with my client, Khris, and started by asking what biome would best suit his chances for survival during the Zombie Apocalypse. His choice was a deciduous forest. We then focused on what he not only needed to survive but to thrive in these difficult conditions. Here is his list of needs:
-
at least 5 stories
-
Multiple flare outs to prevent climbing Zombies
-
In-Earth bunker/ root cellar
-
Greenhouse
-
water filtration
-
generator
-
Open Air Top Floor
-
hot tub​
-
woodstove to heat tub
-
pizza oven
-
-
Slide from top to bottom​

Empathizing with my Client
I met with my client and used the Zombie Apocalypse Brainstorming document to focus our work and make sure that I was recording their needs related to a zombie proof home.
Creating a Prototype
Before starting with Minecraft I did a pencil drawing of what I hoped my model would look like in Minecraft. I met with my client to show them this prototype and they approved of the drawing with minimal alterations.
I developed my final model based on my client's needs. The building starts with 5 empty floors that do not connect to floors 6 through 8. Access to the top floors is through a bubble elevator that goes from floor 1 directly to 6.

Final Video Walkthrough
My final product was this walkthrough that I edited in WeVideo. I did multiple attempts at creating my video and did not realize success until I storyboarded it before recording. I also found a multitude of zombie sound effects that I added in multiple layers (see below) to add depth to the sound track.
