I've always wanted to do a multi-stage where you slowly work your way through a village to a tower, and you can see the tower throughout the map, and in the third stage you finally enter it and last is inside the tower, much like Eichenwalde from Overwatch.

Making a new PL map. no inside areas yet (and no detail what so ever)
any thoughts so far?

@Invalid nick inspired me to make a spacey themed map... Won't be set on mars though... Maybe?

At the moment, I'm calling it turning test... Not Turing test, as I don't want to make it to similar... thoughts on the interesting geometry?

sure, there's some interesting geo in what little brushwork is there; but it's not actual playspace, just columns. would like to see the same unique-ness in the actual game area

No idea how it's gonna turn out in the end... I don't even have a layout fully designed yet, so we will see how it goes from here... I do hope to implement said geometry into the actual map...

fleshed out mid a bit more than in the previous shot... I'm really liking how this is 'turning' out, and i can't wait to 'test' it... I also think im gonna stick with the name: turning test...

also, managed to creat a 45 degree angled set of stairs... very happy with the results...

These screenshots, very oddly enough, remind me of the first post in this thread.

Specifically, this first image:

Anyways, everything's looking great, @SmallBiscuit! I love your use of a large pipe structure: it makes sense for both theme and gameplay.

Now working on a signature overlay! It's still a draft, however. I want to mimic the TF2 style and I'd like some advice

Something i would suggest is make it maybe look more old and torn up.

Testing lighting, fit and stuff. I need to go through the props and adjust $illumposition and add in $ambientboost because the shadowing when they're adjoined gets ugly fast if they don't have it. Was hoping to have these released by now, but I need to switch to a work project for awhile.

Maybe I'll carve out some time this weekend to recompile and then release (sadly I won't have time to get to the trees yet but the Borneo ones look fine).

 

[Etasus]

Another day of work... =]

This is the main overview, it is about 3,300 HU from the center to where I eventually intend to place the spawn doors...
The weird pathways with no walls will eventually be the indoor section...

I made 45 degree angled ramps! they look phenomenal!

A small scout for scale... Ignore the bullet holes, he got a bit feisty...

If you would want to be more subtle, you could probably leave out "A criminal bunny." If there's a drawing of a bunny already on a wanted poster, then it would be inferred it's a criminal bunny. Also, wanted posters usually state a reward in big letters/numbers.

I'd say the art style of the bunny itself doesn't quite match, but I don't know what would make it more fitting. Maybe a painting of an actual bunny?

I think a sketch would be better, but a painting could work also. It's a medieval style map, so it has to fit that.

I thought of it too, but I had trouble coming up with something else. I also felt that writing the reward in any currency felt more western like than medieval. I may make a non-medieval version for regular maps, and now that I think of it it could look similar to this one

I originally tried to follow this style of wanted poster, so I just outlined the bunny. So I could do either a cartoon bunny sketch or a more realistic painting. Also, that explains what I wanted to write a name.

I'll make a new thread for the overlay talk, don't worry mods

What I meant was it looks too obviously drawn with a computer program, not an organic sketch.
