Hi All,

after about seven restarts on working on my map, I will let you know that I am still alive. ;)

Don't wonder if the map is still untextured I am working at the moment on a "greybox-map" and I will find out how the architekture works bevor I will start to texture the map.

Have fun with the screens. ;)

Map-Layout:

And the mainwork for the moment.

South Railway:

(some walls, the bridges and some trains, etc. will work as fiew, move, fly, etc. blocking elements)

    Hope you're able to get the OcclusionCulling to work with these hallways that seem to curve on forever, otherwise I see a serious performance issue. Also these same hallways seem quite open, would be interesting to see how Aliens will cope with that.

    I don't know if you are biting off more than you can chew, but despite this feeling I'm really loving the shapes and forms you've got so far with the brush geometry.

    Looking forward for more updates, keep it up!

    Looks like it could be cool, but make ure to turn edges off in the future, it's almost impossible to tell what is going on otherwise

    That is some intense brush work. I really hope you can pull all of it together into a well-working map. I fear performance might be an issue.

    Keep going though, great job so far!

    Map looks amazing, like a proper architectural project, which leads me to ask is your background in architecture? Because your level has more of an architectural feel than a game feel - I hope you considered the gameplay aspects too while designing this. Otherwise, it looks really great and I look forward to seeing more.

    This shouldn't be a problem if you stack a few large crates in the hallway, and put the occlussion culling geometry inside them.

    looks cool, but i think you might need to buy a pentagram and ask for satan's help to get this thing textured :)

    i've worked on 1 smallish hexagon room b4, and that was a major pain.

    good luck, would be cool to see it finished :)

    This map looks ginormous. Marines would have to have a phase/obs in every rt room they hold.

    Don't get me wrong here, this is very impressive looking. But, you may need to think about the implications this big of a map will have on gameplay. If you keep the map this size i would say it should only be playable by 16 v 16. Marines have a hard enough time saving rt's on the current maps. A map this big would force phases into rooms earlier which could impact needed upgrades.

    I hope the performance will be good. I will try this with view blocking elements which I will use as OcclusionCulling elements, too. But... we will see.

    I studied for some semester "Master of Arts". But this wasn't the right for me. The professor said: "be creativ" and than he said: "not that mutch creativ". :D

    I think this, too. I have a fulltime work and some other hobbies (writing, painting, and fast cars, ...). So we will see us in 2013 for sure. ;)

    This will be the design which I planned for the south railway and the way between first and fourth startroom.

    Your map is turning out to be pure sex ... already looks great without the lighting, I imagine it will be mind-blowing when you get the lights in.

    Do you think you could light just one room to give a taster? pweeeeeeez? :D

    This looks great, but in no way playable in a melee vs. ranged combat game. Sorry dude, but vast rooms and big, open corridors don't work in this game.

    I tried a little bit around with light but I am not very happy with the result at the moment.

    So I am sorry that I couldn't give you a taster at the moment.
