    A project started a while back.

    It's in beta stage and I'm still altering the layout, trying to reduce the framerate drops, and trying to improve the aesthetics in the bases.

    Overall, I'm lovin' the aesthetic conformity throughout the map. I'm not the biggest fan of your inclusion of water, but since it is around what looks like bottom mid, it could actually promote some interesting gameplay. What got the most attention from me was your sniper placement. It's quite different from something you'd normally see and I'm diggin' it.

    I stalked an earlier version of this off of your fileshare via my friend's friends. Lol. Looks good. Hope I get a game on it sometime.

    So this is what you have been working on in forge. I'm liking that bottom mid and the aesthetics on this. I need to see this in forge.

    Oh no, the sniper isn't supposed to spawn there. But whatever, I might make a version with it anyway.

    Wait, what? Why? What friends do I have that are friends of your friends, and wy not just do a FS search?

    Edit: oh, wow. 4 DLs? that's 3 too many. That was only there for iLevvi.

    Has it actually come to the point where I can't keep stuff in my fileshare without having it DLd by stalkers? I've even got 30 Dls on a map I haven't even released. Being super famous totally sucks. I'll have to keep it in my secret fileshare from now on.

    Not quite like that, now is it.

    Agreed in every way, surprisingly ^

    Btw, I'm loving the look of that bridge and the water floor. Keep up the good work ^^.

    Lol. Controlix, Levvi.. Plus, it's not like it was an "omg this guy is amazing I'm gonna go look at his fileshare!" More of a "No one's online so I'm gonna stalk random people's fileshares" and happened to ccome across you and I recognized you from somewhere. And so forth.

    This looks like it will turn out to be a solid map. I would say my favorite part would have to be you using the bridge walkways in the first pics. Also, is that a sniper rife in the 4 pic? If so that is a very interesting place to put it. If that is a sniper, my only concern would be that it might be in an awkward place. I have a feeling that it might take a couple games before people start realizing it is there, and that is not a good thing. Just food for thought though.

    I kind of figured.

    Edited by merge:


    It doesn't actually spawn there, and I agree that the spawn would be very awkward. I would probably be better off putting it around bottom pillars.

    Looks to be coming along well. I like the idea of the three parallel bridges. The only thing I don't really like is the top of the tunnel pieces in your third new pic. It looks like there should be a walkway there (maybe 2 medium bridges?) or a wall blocking off the top. Otherwise, they just look too obviously like forge pieces, whereas the rest of the map is more integrated. I look forward to seeing this released.

    This looks really nice. If you need a hand testing it, feel free to send me an invite :)
    Or has this already been tested to the point where you no longer want to release it? lol

    Nah, It drops frames like a beast.

    No idea. Would feel like a waste of time if I didn't release it. I think it's pretty cool as a concept, but I don't know.

    Like, on the one and only beta version I've got, there's literally no budget left. Couldn't even afford two shield doors the the lifts, and I just barely managed to get some weapons and grenades down.

    Oh, and there's a bloody spartan laser under one of the mid bridge pillars.

    I don't know what I want to do about the layout. It played pretty solid in those two games I managed to keep my testing party full, but I don't really know. I didn't feel like there was enough safe spaces to spawn in.

    it's just unfortunate how uncompatible this game is with multileveled maps and how hard it is to use objects well and keep them from sticking through. The outer perimiter of this entire map honestly looks like rubbish. I won't deny it. The objects coordination is pretty poor, what with being forced to have the two floors directly above and under each other and all. I only really like the middle.

    I've already spent a lot of time just designing and redesigning this map, and I've grown sort of tired of it. Might revisit it later on, but yeah,, to be honest, I don't think I'm ging to release it.

    It's an ugly piece of screenlagging spartan laser mayhem ground right now.

    What grudge do you hold against death pits?

    But no, there's no death pit.

    Plus you make it sound like you're a couple. What's Res got to do with this?

    Ie, If it's released.

    And for the record, I could barely care any less about amount of downloads. I forge for myself.

    I'd really like to see this. Your pictures make me sad- being that there are so few, but the way you have those struts looks pretty damn good.

    Send me an invite sometime so I can check this out.
