Hey friends, hope you like brown. I've been dabbling in mapping for quite some time now, but I've never released anything. I always fizzled out in the planning stages. You know how it is. Anyways, I figured with this contest I could finally get something done since a lot of the design work was finished for me. Plus, being an official mapping contest and all, I figured I would need to at least try or I'd be killing myself later.
I picked a desert theme (original, I know) for the main reason that the high walls in the original map screamed canyon to me. I didn't know diddly about displacements when I went into this and I know they look pretty not great. The textures are off and I haven't smoothed them out. Also, I really shouldn't of stuck so closely to the original design. Oh well, next time I'll go nuts with it. I still have time to change quite a few things, too.
As you can tell from the screenshots, my buildings are mostly blank slates. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with them yet, but I'll figure something out. The main plan is to have a secret base hidden in a derelict mine system. I haven't had time to work on the inside around CP3 yet.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Edit: Archived original screenshots.
