WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

Quote from Quakis

I really love the sky, really sets the mood. I think there should be some brighter street lamps about, and possibly some of those neon/bright signs you get around garages too.

It may not neccessarily be for Cs:s, I'm hoping its going to be used in a... Scarier mod than that

So I'm trying to limit the amount of lighting. I will add a bit more when I detail it in the next few days. Come to think of it, I have't even added street lights yet, heh.

Thanks for the crits guys, really appreciate it!

Here's a little update. Basic map geometry is down, so is the 3d skybox.

I really like the sky texture ! Do the clouds move? If not you should make it so !

Good point. The skybox is inspired by AvP2 and its rolling-clouds effect, so I may do that.

Anyway, while CS:S mapping is seriously broken, I've been playing with the TF2 art assets. I'm having an absolute blast working on this... It's inspired by Evil Genius and Goldeneye. Heh.

One thing I think many maps are lacking are a real purpose. By that I mean, a lot of rooms in maps have no basis in 'real life'. TF2 nailed this and made things look 'lived in', which is an ethic I'm trying work into this map.

i like it the lightning feels really cold

Triple post I believe Clayman ;p

Looking pretty good there, I like the hazy, cold atmosphere you've created, Grippy.

Nice atmosphere grippy

Here's a few new shots of my map! I'm having a blast still working on this TF2 map. This is the Red base, cleverly disguised behind wooden planks inside a Quarry building.

The entire Red base is nearly complete. I'm going to be working on the main section of the map this week, then I can add in some fun little gameplay ideas I have and hopefully release it just after Crimbo.

Tell me what you think, any CC is more than welcome. On that note, don't forget that this is all WIP, there's still a lot to be done. For example, railings in the Quarry building.

i like the lighting already hard to give cc since im not sure what you have in mind for the endresult but htings already look very promising! only think i can come up with is that the rocks in last pic need a displacement
