What Are You Working On?

I've been holding off on showing this until I settled on an aesthetic I was somewhat happy with. It's taken a long time since I did't really bother with visuals at all for about an 8 month stretch, but I think I'm finally there.

Spoiler

 

Don't pull a Multi and make it unneccessarily dark... I can barely assess the layout from these pictures m8!

 

I think it's fine, but if you get a few minutes you could load it up in game and then let me know if you still think it's too dark.

Also, I wasn't trying to show the layout at all. It's just supposed to be some teaser pics.

 

What map have I made that's unnecessarily dark

 

At one point I could hardly see anything on Oblivion. Then I realized it was because of the settings on my TV, because I could see just fine when I loaded it up on PC.

 

PC's lighting it just way better - Elixir was really saturated on Xbox, but looked nice on PC (I toned it down colour wise to match what the PC version looked like in the end)

On topic, looks cool - please tell me it's called Crimson Tide.

 

Hey, are any of you sweet WAYWO forgers going to submit to this contest? -https://www.forgehub.com/threads/hammerfall-grifball-forge-contest.154730/

It's mainly an aesthetic contest and some of you I KNOW have some pretty amazing skills in that department.

DO IT!! NO EXCUSES!

 

I will enter and win!!

Yeah, but I personally also noticed a big difference between what I was seeing on my TV and what I was seeing when I watched a clip of the same thing on my computer. Adjusting my TV settings made a huge difference for me.

The map has no name yet. It's currently named Spaz, because it's a reworked version of an H4 map I made with that name, but that won't be the final name.

 

HALO 4 IS THE BEST HALO. PROVE ME WRONG

To a color blind person this probably looks like a Reach map

 

Lol I forgot halo 4 didnt even have descope WTF

 

Oblivion and Legion are both too dark IMO.

 

It also didn't have death indicators, and when they finally put it in it was a white X that would move with the dead corpse, lol.

 

I respect your opinion but you're wrong though.

 

Oblivion looks like **** in screenshots but it's perfect on my TV. Almost night and day difference, no pun intended. Same thing happened with one of my maps according to some people who thought it was too dark.

This is literally the only game I've played where screenshots look different than how the game does on my TV though.

 

Both... I think you said before in response it is because of your tv settings?

 

You could make an argument for Legion. It was a week 1 forge map, but it's much brighter now than the original build and the ambient lighting has gotten much brighter with the past updates as well. Even on my big screen with high contrast I personally feel like it's easily navigable. But I wouldn't hate the idea of making legion a little brighter.

As for Oblivion, the lighting as far as I'm concerned is perfect. I'm never touching it.

 

@a Chunk, can't sign in, and didn't see that map on your fs

Update: Map is called Oasis and ready for playtesting 2v2 if you have a legit lobby, or ffa open custom lobby...



Enter the cave pool...

And it will warp you to the surface 'Oasis' pool

 

I didn't realize that every time I save a file it defaults it back to being hidden even if I've checked the visibility box.
I put it in my bookmarks now. The file name is Spaz Art.
