72hr Jam 2023 Arena Damnation (Remake) a4
72hr jam
Wanted to challenge myself and make a map from start to detail. I’ve used hammer for several years though never finished/uploaded a map.
I chose to remake a Halo CE map called Damnation (Penance in Halo Reach) due its simple brush work and wacky vertically differences. Starting the Friday evening with the brush work. The weekend was the laborious task of map detail. Followed by Monday morning for some quick hint/occulder/ and area portal (though more optimisation needed to de-load some of the props in the future). I wouldn’t have enough time to recreate the Covenant aesthetic so went with the Mercenary Park/ jungle theme.
Eventually I will probably update the map with additionally detail and possible have it tweaked for Open Fortress.
