The Barons Abode - WIP Thread

[Zombie]

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd start a new work in progress thread for my new level The Barons Abode.

Last night I completed first pass gameplay, which includes monsters being laid out, item placement and general scripting to allow you to complete the level.

This weekend I being making the Art, like my last level I will be using a modular design, but I wont be using a single texture for the bulk of the models, I will use individual textures.

I have attached some screenshots. Imgur was not available to use at the time.

I also added a top down layout so you get an idea of the level. So far it's about 20 minutes of gameplay.

Looks good so far.

I like the scale!

Looks good, keep it up!

I'm in the first pass blockout geometry phase.

Currently I have about 75% of the large architecture, about 25% of the medium level details and I haven't made any small props or details yet, they'll come when I have completed placing all the architecture.

Nice rocks.

[douglas quaid]

Looks cool so far...

Nice rocks.

Hi

Yeh! I was going to say that too! they do look great. Are they your own models? I really struggle making realistic looking rock models. Which is kind of a pain, seeing as the mod I am involved with is based mainly in caves...

Cheers

Hi,

Yeah they are my own rocks, apart from some particle textures, everything is mine.

When I've finished my rocks I can make a rock pack and you can do what you like with them. I should have a good pack put together by next weekend, so like, 2 weeks?

[solarsplace]

Hi

Yes please for the rock pack, that is very generous!

Cheers

Been working on the map on the weekend.

I began doing some ground work for the intro cinematic

I started working on a cool teleport effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm6IjF5UnFQ&
I'm just prototyping, messing about with styles and seeing what sticks.
