Got idea for menu "backroung" thing. I'm not sure if the camera should stay static outside or like this.

I like the idea of the moving camera for the menu background definitely helps set your level apart and is a nice take on custom menu images.

(map still need some editing)

That gives me too strong Unreal vibes for me to even suggest keeping it static. That's incredibly atmospheric.  

[elend]

That is very nice indeed. I also always liked that veeery subtle camera tilt in Quake, when you finish a level.

do you ever get that feeling of wanting to work on something but at the same time don't want to work on it? whenever I take a look at the screenshots posted here I get discouraged and think "these look like crap compared to what the guys and girls are able to make nowadays"

I do think that all the time :(

But don't worry, those look good.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

I think those look very nice.

I like to see what the others are doing, but I also like to notice the differences between them and myself. I like the simplicity I see there, and I encourage it.

I agree with Forli. I look at the pictures that often get posted and think, "Wow. Those look awesome. People are so good at this."

 

That being said, I keep at it. I don't get discouraged, even if I'm not up at their level. And neither should you. Personally, I think the screenshots you posted look really good. Keep going, you're doing well.

Your work looks really good. I especially like the directional shadows on the pyramid scene. Simple but really adds a sense of realism. Keep it up!

Pretty cool detailing memfis!

Talking about detailing, here's a juicy detail from a precedent speedmap i made this summer and make finishing details and fixes in these days:

Well, more rotten than juicy...

So much work done today.

[bioshockfan90]

i've probably posted this before but i refined the initial layout and given it some polish, here's a snazzy lookin editor view. probably not releasing due to how short it is but it's good to look at and gander i suppose

Sweet lighting skillz. Where are the new textures from?

[BrassKnight]

So I just recently started making my third map (which will probably turn into a megawad) a few days ago and here's a some screenshots of it so far:

There is also a story that I'm writing about this that is still not finished but I'm not going to show it to all of you yet.

 

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

@Catpho Most of the textures I stole got from Epic 2, but some are from Realm667 texture packs, like the computer monitors, the new tekgreen-ish and bronze textures, and the black support-like textures.

I chose all these specifically because they work together remarkably well.

[seed]

@BrassKnight That looks pretty good, nice to see some areas are inspired by HL1 too.

Creating a megawad this early into your mapping career isn't such a good idea. Most people won't play long projects, unless they're really great, so you should probably release maps you make in smaller chunks, so you'll get feedback quicker, and improve faster.

 

These screenshots look pretty good though.

[Jaska]

Reviving old ideas.

This is going to be ridiculous!

I think slime14 texture would fit bit more i think?

 

@tempdecal.wad, love your first 2 screenshots. Especially the pyramid on first one.

@Aquila Chrysaetos Nice lighting, i really like the mood coming from your screenies.

[Misty]

This is what player will see before they will reach exit, unless I'll move this sector a bit further. I know it's a bit plain for now, but having defined exit helps me a lot:

[Scorpinax]

Im pretty awful at outdoor designs. I'm trying my best with this Swamp map, a first for me.

I went to my parents house couple of days ago and picked up my old, essential Doom collection from there. Too bad, that these were stored in closet next to small bag of incense sticks, but I haven't smelled anything yet.

Yes. If I remember correctly, I bought the sealed copy first and then the other box. I feel a bit bad for it, because I'm not a hoarder. :<
