Styx Download So I was playing Zelda: Ocarina of Time after E3 this year in excitement for new zelda coming out. I hadn't played it in a few years, and I had not been through the Shadow Temple for a few more. After sailing on the ship through the room with the endless pit, I decided I needed to make a map based on it. All around the map you can find references to the shadow temple- from the endless pit to the skull shaped cover pieces to the hands sticking out of the floor. The endless pit is the focal point of the map, with many objectives requiring tactical jumps to score (Headhunter.) The map also slopes downward toward the pit, leading both players and skulls into the abyss. Overview of most of the map Lens of Truth Bridge Looking towards Red Base Overview of Red Base The Hands (thanks Soul Slasher) That is all I have for now, Styx is currently ready to play slayer, ctf, KOTH, Headhunter, and Infection, so have fun, and... ...don't fall in.
Shoe, you always get your inspiration from the strangest places. This looks really nice though. I'm not much of a fan of symmetrical 4v4s, but the unique look you've created helps this stand out. I look forward to playing this once I get home.
Looks pretty cool but isn't this a preview, what's the link for? The layout looks good and simple and you have some sweet aesthetic structures throughout. Looks good man.
That would be so you can download an unfinished version of the map so you can preview it for yourself and not just go by the screenshots.
I have gotten it from wierder (Riparian was from a puddle during a rainstorm.) This is actually 2 v. 2 or 3 v. 3 at most, it is deceptively small. Hope we can get some games, it is in the TG now too.
This looks pretty awesome man. How are the LOS? It looks like it might pose a problem, but I'm not sure. If you need help testing, hit me up man
That sounds either very annoying or very frightening, I havent figured out which yet. The map's LoZ roots I really do like, unfortunately the references are lost on me, as I have played very few LoZ games (Just some of #1 for NES, some Twilight princes, and most of Phantom Hourglass). The map does however look very nice and I am interested to see the final result.
Very cool idea, finally a map that is supposed to look gray. I was surprised you didn't include the ship in the middle of the map, but I like the layout you did end up with. Good source of inspiration.
After a game with Flamingo, I think I am going to remove 2 of the pillars maybe to free up LOS. It is a very CQB style map, but a few halls are longer. I think it will be okay once the needler can be used effectively.
Oh, so the LOS are not long enough? Ohhhh, lol, I thought they might be too long. I couldn't tell from the pics. Also, what are you going to do about color on the map? It seems a bit bland- and no, it's not just the forge pallet.
As long as he doesn't just merged colored Platform XLs into the walls, that just looks retarded. From the screenshots, the grey actually looks fine. Actually it reminds me of an area from the Sacred Icon level in Halo 2. I'm always up for some good CQB combat, so I look forward to playing this.
Oh yeah, kinda like how I did in Lune. ****ing lol. I guess I could try to come up with something better.
Yeah, my two inspiration points (The Shadow Temple and Longest) were both pretty grey, and I like the gloomy effect. As said before, this is meant to be grey, but a few pieces have some purple/blue as well. Hope we can get some games soon... and on Embarcadero too.
It would be nice to get a testing lobby together soon. I need a few myself. The grey of the map is fine, though I do wish the Lens of Truth bridge was more... purple/red.
