WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

[Paper Shadow]

A constant piece of feedback from Off Peak tests was that the map was too big. While finishing off Alpha 5, I got curious at its current size compared to the original 72hr A1. I took a bird's eye screenshot of both to compare, and decided to share it with everyone, 'cus who doesn't enjoy seeing how a map has grown (or this case, shrunk) over time? Alpha 1 on the left, and Alpha 5 on the right...

Start of my asymmetry project

I swear I'm cool like you guys, okay?

People at chat made me feel like a crazy displacement madman so I started (finaly) modelling stuff.

The actual teslacoil

And the rods to have crazy electric arcs zap from!

Dunno if they are too simple or not...
Also cant decide whether to texture them completely with team colors or have some chrome parts in (like on the realdeal teslacoils)

Not enough jiggles! You gotta have those base tentacles spin around so the rest of the tentacle is like a floppy, projectile-spewing tube man.

I read your post before watching the video. You have no idea how weird this sounded out of context.

I tried so hard to avoid over-detailing in my pre-alpha but this was too much fun to make

Tiny edit: better picture

That's too noisy. Like, waaaaaaaay too noisy. There's so much visual stuff going on by that one single brick texture.

I bet the mason responsible did not have fun making a curved tube out of bricks.

It's probably just the lighting making it look more busy than it really is

But there are tons of sewer tunnels that look like this??

It's not even a complete map yet, and i just threw together some basic lighting. It'll look better at release

For future reference - looking at that image, I don't see the individual bricks, I see the patches of brick. The goldish shiney one on the right there, the rough onces around it. The layer brick below the evident high-water-line. The brick texture you picked is just naturally really noisey because it does individual bricks- it's not that great.

I did not mean brick tubes dont exist, that one just looked really huge and in a tight curve which made it look really over the top crazy to me. A different texture would do it more justice imo.

I would use one of the concrete/fortwall textures from frontline. For your sewer pipe.

I'm making a Steel-like attack/defence map, but this map has 4 capture points instead of 5.
On this map there are no doors/bridges that open for blue after capturing points (except one), capturing points only closes useful spawn doors that red have.

I haven't worked on lighting much yet so the map looks pretty dark in some of the screenshots.

This is what capture point A looks like:

And this is point B:

Capture point C:

Capture point D:

Falling into the pit doesn't kill you. You have to walk through a side area to get back up if you fall. I'm not sure if this will play well, I might just change it into a death pit.

Red team's spawn is in the area above point D and they can see through the floor.

Looking great! Though some of those later areas look a bit dark (especially Cap C and surrounding hallways).
