WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

This is inspiring. I have a major project this year where we have to make a game and I've been debating weather it should be 2D or 3D and seeing this makes me want to go 3D, with generated levels like this!

I'd really love to show off some of my proper NS2 work, but it's not public yet. I can show off something I've been playing with a bit recently in my spare time.

This is a scene I did for the Interlopers.net mapbattle 49, a template (dev bridge) was provided. All assets are valve's except for the creepy guy shadow

It took me around 24 actual hours to make and I am pretty happy with the results. I consider it to be finished but I 'd still love to hear critism on it!

The mapbattle ain't over yet and the voting topic with all the final submissions is yet to be created. The battle ends on sunday 13 march. If I rember it I 'll post a link or you're free to follow it yourself here. http://www.interlopers.net/forum/viewto ... 12&t=34496

Theres not much if anything I can really crit from those screens shots, they're fantastic!

It needs a nice light distance fog, that would help immensely

loove it make it into a dod:s map

Cant crit really, I agree with Jean, but looks greats anyway. Really inspiring. Really nice work on your portfolio site as well.

PIMP

Rrreally nice!

Looks really nice marnamai, good job.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments

JeanPaul: there is some fog allready but it's very subtle and blends with the skybox, look at the buildings behind the bridge. Unless you mean fog above the water offcource.

Pampers: I wasn't planning on making it playable, I don't even own DoD and all the assets are from L4D2 and Lost Coast.

Oh yeah now I see it, heh

Oh man to have a venice type map where you are confined to bridges and suspended walkways (as swimming makes you a sitting duck) would be amazing.

I wonder if JeanPaul's statement about being confined to bridges and suspended walkways was sarcastic or not ... because I honestly don't think it would make good gameplay.

Sarcasm.

marnamai I can see how the right side of the first image with the posts having nothing behind them might happen on a foggy night but it's leaving me feeling like the design falls off the image/incomplete. Remember the old design maxim that a composition should extend beyond the art-board's border so that it feels anchored. So I think you should add a really rough and simple grey shape behind that in the fog. I.E. the impression of a roofline in 3dskybox.

So youre telling me that Anzio's bridge choke point isnt an awesome gameplay area?

@ JeanPaul: I am not able to answer that as I don't own DoD. But a map based on venice with bridges and walkways, while confining the player to them seems just like an overdose of chokepoints.

I could compare it with 2Fort, its a great design but usually ends up becoming stale rather quick, because monstly both parties start turtling.
