    Thought I'd update this thread once more with the three areas that are quite finished (xept for atmospherics). There are still some holes in walls, being WiP and all...

    Looks great! Techpoints seem a bit uncovered though.

    Heh, I left random start on it seems, I didn't notice. But for "Cargo", it's the marine start. Their ranged power is far superior to the aliens, so it being open shouldn't pose too much trouble. There's still plenty of cover for Skulks and Lerks (Crates/Containers), but the center is mostly an open firing range, so to speak. "The Core" has loads of nooks and crannies for Skulks, Lerks and Fades to close the gap with a marine squad (Or for Gorgey to take cover :D )

    It looks sweet! I love the mac under the cargo door :p

    It's simple and in my experience, simple works.

    Looks pretty. You map too slow, we need to see more ;)

    Definitely looks cool. I like all the different angles you are using with pipes and geometry.
    There are a few overscaled textures that don't fit in that well.
    And I'd recommend to make these screenshots without infestation/structures, if you want to get more accurate feedback on the looks of your map :)

    Really digging the cargo access! The lighting could use some variety but I love the shape and clean look.
    The cargo bay is starting to look more and more interesting, even though I'm a bit unsure how the catwalks will work out.
    Do you have any layout planned yet? Also are you going to go to the same lengths regarding the "realisticness" of the layout
    as with your ns1 map? :)

    Heh, I might do that, but there is only empty space in between these areas :]

    It's going to use a layout quite similar to the sample map, doesn't have to mean a none realistic ship layout. My main focus for the map is to create a fast game pace/flow, basically forcing the aliens and marines to encounter each other.





    I'm now adding some atmospherics and such, also these atmospherics make Cargo seem much nicely lit. and I added some variety in the Cargo access hallway. It was too much of the same color. Heh I still have these map areas floating around in space, they're not yet in final location either. Good thing Spark has texture locking mode and adding a line to use a reference point to move the entire rooms seems to work D:

    Looking good. The hive room with the pipes is bigger than it looked in screenshots.

    Hard question - when do you think we will be able to play it? :D

    Yeah that's the reason why a video fly-trough usually gives better impression, besides in motion shizzle is cool in any case. Hard question is Hard, I dun have an answer other then... here it comes... When it's done :P
  • konatakonata Join Date: 2011-08-24 Member: 118296Members
    It'd be nice to see you do something funky to lower the ceiling or add more supports where a hive goes through, as not having the potential for random spawns is a draw back if you change your plans.

    I do support the overall NS2 vibe for keeping the NS1 structure such as MS static, hives random. Although leave yourself open to ideas ;)

    Nice map! I like the stairs, you can still see what's going on below while getting upstairs. But the thing that really interests me is, how to get that thing that is written on the top left?
  • konatakonata Join Date: 2011-08-24 Member: 118296Members
    Location entity, named.

    The location entities are wrongly positioned in that video though :D

    I'll have a look at the ceiling in the marine start. However the layout (it's going to use) is simply not suited for random spawns. I could perhaps have it randomly spawn with the marines in cargo and to the top-right of Cargo, while the aliens spawn in engine or the tech_point down-left to that one. But that is as far as I'm willing to go in terms of random spawns :D

    A Cargo room (already seen in the "show stuff on sunday thread")

    I approve of this rotating gif.

    I approve all three rooms, (allthough marine start seems a bit too huge gameplay-wise).

    I _really_ like the first corridor from marine start also, very impressive!

    Why am I only just NOW seeing this ?

    Fair play Kouji it looks amazing, I love how you said that it's inspired by Firefly since I just finished watching an episode before jumping on here and well it kinda of shows a little in the Cargo room, just need a Jayne wearing his awesome hat up on the catwalks and you are sorted.

    Should ask for someone from the community to create a Firefly Easter-egg to hide some where.

    It has already changed a bit, well not changed but more stuff added like hallways and stuff...


    This area (The Core) and the <i>Loading Bay</i> has been revised like 4 times now. This is the final revision, the room is big enough and I'm finally happy with it. The engine room from the previous pages was more in editor concept art than a finalised area. It is also too small, but the final "Engine" area will look similar, but nicer, bigger and of course more impressive :P
