Looks sweet. You might wanna fix the texture misalingments in the first shot though. You sure you can support all those games types?

Looks very good but I think the startan texture doesn't fit in the level (first shot).
Maybe you want to try a metal texture or something.
I'm just giving you a suggestion, it's up to you what you do with it.

thanks for the feedback, the startan textures are just placeholders for the windows that will eventualy be there :)

Oh I see. I'm sorry for that.
Well good set of levels anyway. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, hopefully it will all turn out.. ;)
(BTW: this is all ONE map... so be prepared for some twisted scenes O_o)

Wow. I will play this when it arrives.

Current Status:

Core work (linedefs and what not): 60%
Detail work: 40%
Lighting work: 10%
Texture work: 35%
Sounds: 0%
Scripting: 0%
THING placement: 1% (Start)

Overall Status: 30%

Very impressive!!!

This looks more like Unreal than Doom. Very impressive work. The depressive grey colours give it an industrial, concrete look. ********ly like a factory then a tech base. Still urges to drop the jaw.

Looks tobe promising, nice job, u use Doom Editor to create?

u use Doom Editor to create

No, he used a Quake 3 editor..heh

Why does the word ********ly get *-stared out?

I agree; it looks great.

You might want to use more floor textures though. Using only the floor4_7 (???) will get boring.

TechnoBabel

Were you inspired by the movie Metropolis by any chance?

Thanks for all your kind words, it really helps to know that people look forward to something your making, I'll try not to dissapoint :)

as for your questions

Wadauthor for the base work then doom builder for the texture alignment bits

If I could figure out how to add flats... :/ I R NOOB :(

Yeah it does look kindda like a factory, after I get some more detail work done though I think it will look more like the tech base its designed to be.. :P

actualy it came from a bunch of cyberpunk games that I used to play :)
Only the babel part comes from more biblical meanings now..

And just for kicks.. heres a screenshot of the room directly behind helipad area.

Get doomworld.com/xwe]XWE. Import flats. Create 2 entires named F_START and F_END and put the flats between them. Remember to click on each flat and from image-> select Save as Doom Flat. There You go.

Dude, we've seen plenty of techbases, but we haven't seen much factories. I would darken those textures, add some lava flowing (from the forge) and voila-something mucho better than Techbase.

Are you kidding? That map is HUGE! I can't wait to play it.

Looks sweet indeed. If you need any music, i can create some mods (can be converted to mp3/ogg if needed) for you..

Surprise surprise.. its update time O_o

I pretty much finished the rear room but I got some stuff to add (Pipes and what not)
and finalize the texture work... Thanks to people who suggested making this an industrial map. you get your wish ;)
I started on an outdoor area but theres a lotta work that has to go into it yet... I'll probably get back to work on this tommorow...
Take care everyone.

Hey, i was here first mister :P

Too...much...yellow/black stripe texturing...

Did some work on it tonight, im starting the outdoor areas and going to (hopefully) begin the castle areas pretty soon
I need some feedback on the fog... should I keep it or not? Does it enhance the mood or is it a waste.. also feedback on lighting would be nice (including ideas on the brightness and stuff) Keep in mind that this will all be taking place in hell.
So without more meandering bullshit from yours truely... here are the shots :)

I brightened them up about 30 in paintshop... The outside light value hovers around 200
Have a great weekend everyone, be safe

Too...much...yellow/black stripe texturing...

Yeah, use some black/yellow stripe textures instead :-P

I think the fog works pretty well... A little bit more progress and some texture aligning.. O_o

A little pre-breakfast work O_o
Still need to connect a couple things and maybe some detail work... nah.. leave it like it is! :P
