Windows are under the building section and they used the Ravine object pallet for this map. I didn't know Ravine had trees and massive rocks by the way, you should show me where those are
I actually think the inside of the island looks really cool for forging. You can make some very unique looking maps and the big wall of fog at the bottom really makes it look kind of creepy (Slender?)
I can't wait to see all those Slender maps that will be released in the next two weeks, now that we can build entire forests. But for real, I do like the fact that we can create quite a lot of trees, as well as being able to make huge flat rock formations. The green screen is kind of weird but I'm glad for machinima makers that it was included. Just hope that this is not going to happen:
The first map I made on Forge Island was a Slender map, haha. Unfortunately, it had to be Forged on the smallest island, otherwise the forest wouldn't have been dense enough. I'll post the map up here soon. It's not amazing as it was rushed and wasn't made seriously, but it will hopefully play a nice game of Slender-themed Flood!
!, I would love to see that! You should post it soon, tomorrow? I was wandering around for a bit, and tried to forge a cool looking rock/forest area, a little like Highlands from Halo Reach, with the bases. And I have said this two times already, but I love the lighting that is casted by the tree's, it looks awesome. I am really enjoying forging on Forge Island, and I have a lot of ideas. I'm going to try to create something unique, like everyone else here. But Kazerra, I would love to see that map. You should post it soon!
The inside of the rocks actually looks like a very cool space to build a map. It's not a "cave", but I can see it as being the inside of a flooded volcanic ring or an atoll, if only for an alternative backdrop.
Here's some inspiration and to show off some things you can do. I was experimenting because I want to make a canyon map as my first one on this new awesome forge environment and not afraid to share my ideas. Yeah, all original ideas here from yours truly.
I only did a quick run through. I didn't have time to see everything. I didn't even know there were trees. haha
Hell yeah. I've been daydreaming of making a mostly natural map since I first flew around Forge World and realized that no matter how much of it there was, there were no parts that were exactly how I wanted them to be. I'm definitely going to be abusing those rocks and trees.
The large island is obviously BTB, the medium size is 4v4 size or bigger. The small island is a little to small in my opinion. It can serve as a 2v2 but you have to expand on it and go vertical. the pics I posted just prior are on the med size island btw.
Wow... That. That looks amazing, already! Makes me think a little of Halo 1/3, the canyon's we had there. But man, this looks good! This is inspiring really, I was wandering around for a bit on Forge Island and started to create a forest/rock like area, a chasm in the middle of the map, and high rocks (Canyon alike) overhanging it. Awesome Fenix, thanks for showing this. I would like that people are going to post some previews on here.
