Obscurity a8

Surprise, I'm back.

What could I have possible do to improve Obscurity? A lot.

+ Increased size of center point
+ Replaced rock cover around point with dirt piles to provide more cover from sight lines
+ Area portal and hints to optimize (wish it was more but it's a wide open map, IDK)
+ New textures for red team building
+ New Texture for canyon
+ More props in spawn and buildings
+ Left spawn room is computer room themed (just cuz)
+ Spawn rooms are now bigger (spawn points stay the same)
+ Tractor
- No skybox . . . oh well

Update:

• New Displaced Canyon
• Busted a hole in the wall of the second floor for quicker drop-in
• Smaller health and ammo packs
• More crates (thus less space) on elevated platform/engine's favorite building spot
• Edit/add boards to windows
• Edit shadows and lighting
• Added street lamps
• and FINALLY FIXED RESPAWN TIME!!!

Update: Am I done yet? :

• Building walls are thinner
• Building frames and support beams added for fanciness
• Displacement rebuild again now that I know about the vector tool
• Walls are put up where purposely unclimbable displacements were
• The map's skybox boundary has been enlarged with fewer skybox elements to make the shadows run more fluidly
• Environmental light made with less bloom/contrast
• Added lamps in dark spots
• Respawn time is shortened (likely too much)
• New water towers
• New brush made window braces on the second floor

P.S. I'm probably not done, but with school starting, the next update wouldn't come soon. I'm in a game design program. That will explain why my first map ever made is so good. I did make an Unreal Tournament map before this but eh.

Whoops, I art-ed:

• Add a primitive 3D skybox with the map in a canyon
• Added more fence and cactuses (cacti?)
• Painted over the dev textures

New Update, More Open, More Obscuring:

• Expanded middle courtyard with chain fence walls and a sand-barred shed
• Redone all the displacement for better quality
• Edited sniping spots in towers, closing off sightlines
• Replaced fences on cap with taller fences, closing off sightlines
• Add another rock in the courtyard, closing off sightlines

Next is getting a good looking skybox

I guess I can do displacements:
- Replaced dirt ramps with displacements of sand ("it's everywhere, get used to it")
- Made a second floor to the towers
- Raised the low ground around the capture point
- New skybox, lighting, and prop lights
- More rocks

New update:
- Upscaled center point and towers
- Three-way exit from the spawn
- Dirt ground with slope elevation (will be replaced with terrain brush as soon as I figure out how they work without compiler errors)
- No more "stairs"
- More boxes from cover
