WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Actually, the room is sealed off behind a set of windows and functions only as detail and, after I read Dr. Element's great feedback about the water being there to shield workers from radiation, hopefully it will be good for a chuckle or two as well as I added in a little easter egg.

As for added realism, I'm still working on it - the windows will have to stay in one form or another, though, since the room is sealed off behind them. The only reason I used those large windows (which, indeed, look better outside) is because I used them on the facade as well. I'll see if I can cobble up something better looking. I did however add some sort of fuel-rod crane and made the water a little bit deeper, as well as rearranged the fuel rods to make them look a bit neater.

Unfortunately I'm no engineer, so if this imaginary power plant has a catastrophic meltdown, I won't take any responsibility for it.

make it a water window

Trying a different, yet still cartoony, art style

Here's what I have for the names for my missions on mvm_underground:

Normal: Unarming Undercity
Intermediate 1: Unhinged Undertaking
Intermediate 2: Undented Uproar
Advanced 1: Unary Ultimatum
Advanced 2: Unrestful Update
Expert: Utterly Decimated

I've been working on a Normal and a single Advanced mission. I could use some help coming up with the other missions though. If you would like to help make the other missions, please message me.

Subterranean survival
Burial brawl
Rock rumble
Mann down

Also, get an earth kingdom avatar reference in there somehow.

Glassworks final:

Starting to come along, but needs a lot of work. That's basically the only side detailed so far.

 

[puxorb]

Hmm. It looks a bit washed-out. Could definitely benefit from some color in there.

 

[Crash]

Yeah I agree. I'll probably try to do something more colorful around the capture point to draw the eye.

 

[fauks]

I think the room overall should be darker, the ceiling darker, but the red cylinder area brighter. It needs contrast.

 

[wareya]

I think it's mostly okay even how it is. Maybe a darker texture for the ceiling and maybe a brick upper wall.

 

[Sergis]

keep in mind that in actual gameplay the place will be made brighter and more colorful by dying, bleeding and exploding people. extra artistic touch will be added by people engulfed in flames and their final screams will perfectly complement the picture.

I think it needs a bit more out-of-bounds stuff going on. For example, that red patch on the floor could be a grated floor that looks into another room. Also, there isn't much of a sense of place. What would this room be used for realistically? Some spytech (computer terminals, world maps, etc) would make it concievably look like a planning room, or metal scroll doors and tire tracks would make it look more like a shipping center.

Speaking of sense of place, you should definitely have glass panels laying about somewhere in the map. If you want the bases to be glass manufacturing/shipping bases, people aren't gonna get that unless they see some glass that isn't installed yet.

 

[Crash]

Under the red patch there is actually more gameplay space and used to have grating on top of it but that made the space pretty unusable as you could see anyone trying to sneak up through that route.

And yeah it needs some more stuff to it. The industrial panels/ consoles will be step one of that, for sure. The opposite wall of the above screenshot is going to have some large windows overlooking the actual glass panel factory floor.

As for Glass panels themselves, I've got a bunch of breakable ones above final that turned out pretty neat. I do plan on tossing a few more racks around, probably in the front area of the final building.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

I give you the last point of heatwave that no one ever really asked for, that's brutally modeled after Gullywash's last point:
