Center Ice
A friend of mine wanted to have a TF2 map that had hockey in it somehow. As we discussed this in chat, I decided to bust open the Source SDK for the first time and plop out a map in under two weeks. This post would be on my forth day, so let me tell you I am still a newb. I'm getting most of my layout that I drew out previously with my friend the Pyro, she and her boyfriend are going to make custom models of hockey gear in the red/blue design styles set forth by Valve. I however will be in charge of the map, layout, soundscape, and lighting.
Here are some of the highlights:
The idea hides behind the fact that two teams play in a hockey game, and I suck most of the creativity from my memories as a child in a hockey center. This means I'm Canadian for those playing at home. The respawn room begins downstairs in the dressing rooms/showers. The main area dissolves into a computer center, supposedly calculating scores and averages. I'm trying to keep the downstairs areas mirrored and some well placed signs.
I'm open to suggestion, constructive-anything, questions, and comments. I wanted to share this WIP with you guys since I'd be a bad person if I didn't thank you guys for the help you've given me! Remember? Google introduced us.
Steps To Completion:
Before you dive into the images, if you need more then what I can possible CTRL+C CTRL+V into a forum go to my flickr set here, here, and here. This will be updated often.
Here be pictures:
Several Beers Later:
Getting annoyed:
More General Stuff:
Oh, after all that, if you want more go here.
