Amazing! Do you plan to make the player move with the platform?

I think yes. I will need to test a few ideas, but I will have to postpone it indefinitely.
And thanks! :)

Looks quite solid! That shots really invite to play.
Hope I have time this year. For now I just take a note about this.

have you tried just using a voxel and then rotate that?

I've never tried using voxels at all. And I don't even know how they work, but it seems worth paying attention to them ...
Same with the Bridge thing. Sound like an idea. Someday I'll try.

or are you using 3d models or some third option?

Yes. In this case I use polyobject + 3D floor, providing a collision.
Rotating platform itself is made by the 3D model synchronized with polyobject movement by a script.
Alas, the platform "slips" under the player and I don't know how to fix it yet.

Talking about 3D polyobjects... and their imitation. I have long forgotten to publish one thing that I did back in April for the Tarsman's mapping contest. Map could not be completed, alas, so this idea will most likely go to Elementalism. Just wondering, has anyone done something like this on GZDoom before?
 

This is indescribable cool, as always, @Aurelius :0
Love that brown\green contrast. Very Quake-ish architecture at all!
I wonder where these textures taken from?
Or maybe they were created from scratch?
I just don't know much about open resources ...

@Remilia Scarlet I always loved your techbases and I am glad to know that soon my collection will be replenished with another one.

The crate in the gif is a 3d polyobject, not a 3d model.

Wow, I see this for the first time :0

8 years of development, it's a very impressive journey.
What I see in the screenshots is mesmerizing. Congratulations on release!
Alas, this is +1 cool project, which I have to postpone for an endless "later"...

are those railings models? 

Yes, these are models, moreover, not a monolithic model, but a construction of segments. It is enough dreary to adjust the tilt angles, keep in mind the vertical distortion and the heights difference in sectors under the models ... Difficult, but the result looks good. So far I have not observed any performance drawdowns from using models, this is good news.

Just me...

Nearly finished this submission for MFG38's Literalism project - the map title I received was "Walking Lava". Now for Thing placement / combat, and she'll be good to go!

Holy names, so spectacular views! Each screenshot instantly attracts attention.
I need to practice more in implementing open spaces...

Congratulations on the release! I did not mention myself here in any way, but I also planned to participate. Alas, this is another cool project that I missed out on this year. In any case, I watched its progressing with interest and had a lot of pleasure playing these maps. Plus, I've discovered a lot of new talented names. Really hope to see continuation of RAMP someday, and maybe I'll lucky to be part of the project next time.

I am intrested in how you did it...

Initially, there are very few 3D floors on the map, and the general shape was created using several tiers of sector portals (Action 57: Sector Set Portal). This screenshot shows an early map version, with an unfinished rebuild (I changed it a lot to improve optimization). 5 fps, yes this is already a legend, but keep in mind that I made this map on my old PC with a very weak CPU (on modern machines fps is much better).

Yeah so when I am incredibly rich and famous, could you come and design my house?

I haven’t figured out what to answer... But that sounds great xD

Let me guess..... .you like color purple)

Fun fact, initially Coma Moonlight was originally blue, but Killerkouhai suggested repainting it purple. And it was a super great idea! :D

This is great news! Glad to know D3 hasn't been forgotten.
I’m constantly running out of time to play new things, but ... overall, its nice to know!
Hope to see it in release soon.

The new update is ready:

- added a jumppad at the end, which allows you not to go back through the whole map if you missed last rune
- fixed broken light on torches
- overall map brightness is increased
- fixed graphical artifacts with polyobject at top and wells
- now falling into a big hole in the lower tier of map center is guaranteed to teleport player to surface
- fixed missing textures and misaligments
- added sound of rune pick up

The map has also recently been spotted by Jimmy on his stream.
Most of the fixes are based on his feedback:
