Hello folks.

I'm doing a little research on cheap and powerful game engines and I found a few good ones, such as the unity engine (is this Mac only or am I too dumb ?), unigine (my favourite so far) and the C4 engine (cheap in all aspects, the license costs only 200 bucks )

Anyways, some folks I know need a powerful and cheap engine. They are aiming for virtual reality/simulation like games (not aimed for regular gamers but for medicine students) so the engine must have some cool features and flexible workflow and also must be easy to work with.

I don't need to say their budget is short, so don't post UNREAL 3 or anything like that

you americans and your cool skating spots

They are like no existent down here

awesome trees

wow amazing job. I love the setting.

Yeah I kept wpoly in mind and I think I did a good job on that

Personaly, my favourite map is Erratic's. The brushwork is really clean and impressive. The lighting could be slightly better with a little -gamma pass. Anyways, its a solid map and I couldn't believe erratic made the entire map in 3 days... crazy shit

DM_Hookup is really good too. The brushwork and ammount of detail is amazing. Once again lighting could be better with a gamma pass. I also think the layout is excessively simple. The rooms differ a lot from each other without breaking the consistent style though, and that's a good thing.

Mamus' map is undoubtly the most creative one. Once again mamus gives us a twisted map with interesting and funny entity work. I loved this one

Hestia is another piece of good work. The special attention to little details like sounds and small objects really makes this map stand out. I also loved the lighting a lot. But the wpoly kills the map's playability It's still an extraordinary addition to alysson's portfolio.

I also had a quick look at hazlab and I found it a weird map. The different styles clash is an unique thing and the lava pit gives a nice old school feeling, however that room is almost unplayable.

DM_Rocked was also a nice surprise. The layout is simple but seems to work, and the setting is really old school. Cool stuff KT!

I still have to check out kabelen's map, it looked very nice from the screenies.

A general hint to everyone: Work on your sounds. They really make a map stand out and improve atmosphere.

Anyways, this contest was a pleasant experience and I'm glad to see many guys actually finished their maps We should have more of these.

12 x 12 at the moment

/me pets erratic~

Congrats evert, phill and everyone at grin GRAW is one of the top selling games. (but they are counting both pc and xbox versions together, aren't they completely different games ?)

yup, add kabelen to the poll

Also, who wants to start a server ?

Yeah kabelen, get some 400x300 screenies and ferret will accept it, right ferret ? :wink:

known bugs: in the text file included in the zip

ok I just got home, preparing and uploading the map now...

editing: argh there's a horrible error in my map (a skybrush overlapping another brush) but it's too late now. I'll fix it after voting is closed, just to include a proper version in the map pack.

ahaha my map's got the coolest easter egg ever

ferret: I'm going to college now and I left my map compiling. I'll post it as soon as I get home so don't close the submissions till there. :wink:

Also, don't start the voting now. Leave another 3 or 4 days so people can properly test all the maps before voting.

So TS is an opera ripoff ??

I lost all my relics in a hd reformat

I'm such a dumbass, I renamed my map filename but forgot to rename my .rad file

I love the custom content good work

where can I see more of your work ?

The deadline won't be extended again... so like ferret said everyone should submit their maps untill tomorrow night. An entire day is enough to do some polishing and eventual bug fixing. I'm doing my final compile now, I'll post my map asap.
