What Are You Working On?

I found a different video about D2.

 

you can make this a regular pentagon with a 72° angle. 360°/5=72°

trust me, I was making a pentagon shaped map around February of last year, but having to use the 1° snap made me want to kill myself.

 

He's right about a lot of things, but about half of that could've been left out. Like, really? You're going to point out that we couldn't survive the fall at the end of the last cut-scene and sound genuinely offended about it? Come on man, get a hobby.

Insanely emotional people like that shouldn't make videos. Even if they're right a lot of the time, they don't explain it well and give good ideas a bad connotation.

 

I tried that, failed, got angry, and gave up already.

It'll be covered in bodies anyway so it won't stick out too much

 

You all suck at naming maps.

 

Ive got a new 4v4 I'll be working on called Earth Machine. It's currently playable for Slayer, Strongholds and Oddball. It still needs work, but I need some direction. If anyone has any ideas for layout changes or art improvements, please give me some suggestions. I tried chroma boxing the map, but I dont think I did it correctly because the rocks looked like **** after I turned off light bake. I currently have light bake on on 95 percent of the map, but I have a super low piece count so I don't have any noticeable issues yet. I figure if I did chroma box the map, I would need to over triple the amount of invisible lights I currently have on the map which will likely effect performance.

 

Alright you pick my next name then. You know the theme: hallowed Church and a body-filled bazaar.

 

@Chronmeister it looks like a bunch of terrain and prefabs. What is the map supposed to be?

 

Sacrilege

Titan

Seraphim

Crimson Veil

Hereafter (a great religious name that goat came up with but he probably doesn't even know how it pertains to theism and he'll never finish a map so just take it)

Durance

To Dust (we shall return)

This is what I have after 5 minutes of thinking/googling. I do more research to come up with my own map names and it usually takes a day or two, so I'll likely be back with better suggestions. I can also come up with a subtitle like Arcanum if you'd like.

 

I was working on Hereafter recently.

Also, all of my map names are good.

 

A cave with an unidentified forerunner artifact accidentally unearthed by miners

 

I like most of those, although Durance sounds too much like Dunco so thumbs down.

Once I have the art started I'll ask for that one liner

 

no

 

It actually is though








or at least better than perpetuance

 

the names are about all that's good about your maps

 

lol thats actually a good compliment though

i consider all my themes to be really amazing. but my geometry is held back by halol5 and forge, so i dont really care about their designs beyond making them work as far as the theme allows. If this was a more flexible game than Halo - like Doom, or Multi's game - and we werent gimped by Forge, all of my maps would be way bigger and more elaborate. Like I was thinking the other day that I wanted a map where the center was a giant pool of water, and then realized that there's no way to do swimming in this game. So that's a cool theme and gameplay dynamic that isn't possible - not because I can't design it, but because Forge and Halo simply don't allow it. Then I have other designs that I want to attempt, but we don't have enough pieces or interesting enough gameplay to make them work.
