Craigs

So I've been getting back in to mapping recently. I started on this here map recently but I've hit a bit of mapper's block. I guess I'm looking for feedback on what I've got now and some ideas of where I should go with it next. Little heads up, it's still very early in progress. There's no exit, detail is practically nonexistent, and the texture theme is kind of... everywhere as I'm trying different styles and seeing which ones I like best. Should work in Boom compatible source ports and it uses the CC4 texture pack which I've included in the zip folder until I finish the map and start merging textures. http://speedy.sh/FJM52/earlyWIP.zip

Nah, I'm not going to keep it that flat and boxy. There's going to be plenty of curves, different floor levels, and shit. The reason it looks that way right now is because I drew the basic level layout first since the station's design is kind of intricate. I figured it'd be easiest to just do that first and then start going to work on detailing and smoothing it out one department at a time. Plus the level's going to be slightly restricted and have an end goal (i.e. the emergency shuttle wing on the far right side of the station). There'll be plenty of room for exploration but I'm hoping to ensure that it's pretty clear what the player's end goal is as well as the general paths he needs to follow to get there.

So basically I'm making a map based off one of the maps from a game called Space Station 13, specifically /tg/'s map. So far I've got the basic layout done and started actually working on arrivals i.e, adding doors, windows, creating a basic path for the player to follow, etc. Progress so far The map it's based on Also it's gonna be for PRBoom

Doom Marine said he'd murder my family and more importantly take back the skis I stole from him if I didn't post my results so here, go ahead and laugh at my shitty results. http://i.imgur.com/i6T4A4L.png

The scary thing is... I think he actually believes this He actually believes it.

So apparently swearing isn't allowed on the forums. Incidentally

Yep, also Steam's apparently giving out refunds like candy.

If you don't know what WarZ is, it's essentially a blatant rip off of DayZ that you have to pay for, has a cash shop, and is even more buggy. Anyway, they recently came under fire for lying about the game's features on the Steam store page. They recently went back and changed things around a bit to say that they are "upcoming features" http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/the-war-z/1226980p1.html tl;dr edition: It's not our fault we lied about the game's features Prepare to die of laughter.

Tormentor's detail guide

Not on the US west coast. It was actually released here today.

Anyone else gotten Borderlands 2 yet? If so, Huy, his cousin, and I are going to co-op it and need one more person for our group. If you've got a mic, skype, and the game; you're free to join us. Also we're starting from scratch so new characters only.

Fear 3 is actually pretty fun. Not a real FEAR game but still fun. Me and Huy co-oped it and had a pretty good time. They did some pretty neat stuff with it by doing shit like having Fettele play completely differently than Pointman and multiple endings based on which player got the highest score. Also from what I understand Flying Debris did some of the artwork which is always a plus

Now that the NDA has been lifted I can add PlanetSide 2 to my list. Well, I like it for the most part anyway.

Isn't there a letter somewhere where an old time doommer bitches and moans about how Quake's realism was killing first person shooters? Whoops found it So basically: Quake's ruining first person shooter -> Half Life's ruining first person shooters -> Halo's ruining first person shooters -> Call of Duty is ruining first person shooters I'd personally find it a bit more enjoyable if there were more people I could trust. Seems like everyone I run in to just tries to stab me in the back the first chance they get. Also just finished the 3rd episode of the walking dead game
