So, between making Hierarch worthy of being called finished, experimenting with Epicenter, blocking out a PL map and making plans for the 7.2 hour contest, i found some time to finish up some of the work on Bloodshed, although A4 will still take a while to arrive.

New spawn outside

New spawn inside

(The roof is a bit low on the upper level, i'll consider changing it.)

Still some lighting work needed

now make 7.2 :B1:

If you want to use the Steam emoticon :B1:, you can paste this link into the image function:
Code:

B1

You can use any steam emoticon this way by replacing the B1 in the link with the name of any emoticon.

koth_frostline almost ready for initial release:

The only thing I'm worried about is the fact I'm getting below 100 fps in certain areas of the map with no players on it...

If you want to use the Steam emoticon :B1:, you can paste this link into the image function:
:B1: is an emoticon that doesn't need visualisation. You can even use it in regular speech, by saying "be one". It will still work.

Sorry for the low res images, or the fact that their lit oddly, but can anyone give me some feedback on a potential PL map idea I've been doodling?

Map it out, the worst it could be is bad. You'll make refinements along the way as it takes form.

Well, I am planning this map for the 7.2 hour contest, so I cant exactly map it out (or I would trust me).

If you need it, I can try to make a digital version of the layout overview.

Well, I'd say, it's certainly good that you have a plan, and to have such a cohesive plan and you do is a huge benefit.

I'll be honest, there's a heavy reliance on hallways between areas, which is common in layout sketches. But you've got a good idea of what each area should be composed of, so my suggestion would be to work upon those ideas and make continuous changes as you map.

The more I'm trying to optimize koth_frostline the worse performance I get on it....

Unless I put a horribly short farz clipping plane on the map I can't see how I can get it to run above 60fps with players on it.

I'll try to experiment with adding dense snowfall and fog to the map to cover up farz clipping I guess.

EDIT: This sure made the map look even colder:

Snow particles do clip into buildings a bit here and there tho.

Remember this?

I blocked it out. Some things were changed, like the red forward spawn which was moved back by a lot.

Sorry for potato quality, i might try to get some better screenshots on a better pc later.

I forgot a route and don't have any logic or inside lighting set up, so you'll have to wait, but i'm a bit hyped for it right now.

Good stuff. I like the first pic,it looks like a lot of fun.

Also,I should try to recolor some of the dev textures and use them just like you do. Only 3 and a half colors (grey - light grey) is definetly not enough for me. :V

And good for you for being hyped. That's an awesome sign that you're loving this map. :D

I managed to get the map to run with 90-150fps by decreasing farz clipping plane, plus it actually improved the look of the map imho.

Looks good, although you should be exceedingly careful when implementing fog in the playable space. Make sure player visibility is still strong though out the map.

Remember that we want to see those bloody snipers half a map away from us. And even more since it is possible to disable weather effects and I'm pretty sure it would give a lot better view in your map
