Nowhere.

This is my next map for FoF. I took some references from XVIII century undergrounds, and added a desert on top with several atmospheric effects. I thought it would be cool to spawn into a dust storm with lightning strikes, and I'm really happy with the overall effect. However that's just the spawn area, most of the action takes place below. There are 3 entrances, each one with a distinctive style, well, the whole level was build thinking in player orientation.

It took 2 weeks approximately, some brushwork existed before. There aren't many fancy models or textures, but I always had a desire to make a tomb rider-like level, this one has a bit of it

I first thought you wanted to make some underground parts for tramonto-lite but making a new map of it is great.

Yeah, I had a tunnel section for original Tramonto map which wasn't used, so I made a map from it.

Looks sweet indeed, but whats FoF?

Fistful of Frags I thought we were more popular heh.

It'll be part of FoF beta 1.3, which comes out tomorrow, in case someone wants to play it. The final version has more light, these shots were too dark.

My last maps simply don't pursue any graphical refinement, or at least they aren't taken as further as I could because my experience and modeling/texturing/animation skills. However any constructive comment is welcomed, maybe not for this map, but who knows. Also couldn't say this map is finished at all, I'm more interested in how it plays than any other thing, if it does well it could receive upgrades. I'm also in need of new levels, and due to general disinterest of other level designers in Source community, I have to rush a bit things due my other duties in FoF. On the other side, is great to design a game mode from zero, code it, and create a map to complete your vision.
