Why don't you block it out in Hammer, Play it and see - would only take an hour so?

You don't always NEED to stick exactly to what you have drawn, more than often you'll run into something you never thought of while drawing it out.

That's great

[Blocked Image: http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3247/simplekn5.png]I've decided to start my art map from scratch. This makes it easier for myself and will inevitably make the map better for the end-user.

So, I've came up with this layout. The old one lacked flow and had far too many hallways, was a bit messy and overcrowded.

No overlapping rooms? Just from a top down view, it seems the game play could be a bit flat. What sort of theme are you going for?

Quote from ReNo

Why do people wear anything that isn't 100% functional? There's nothing wrong with it, it's just wearing things you like to wear. It's like putting on a belt when your trousers fit fine anyway, wearing camo despite not requiring the need to disappear into the jungle, or wearing any sort of jewellery whatsoever. Or wearing a dress despite being a man.

What?

I never wear a belt. I never wear camo. I never wear jewellery.

The only thing I wear is a watch because it tells me the time, so I know when I can kick your arse with your arm bands on.

Nothing to add that already hasn't been said.

Good crtisicm is a very good motivational tool. Nothing worse than someone posting "ure map loks borin m4n, ad mor3 t3xturez"

Bleh, good art but the the engine will be limited to outdoor stuff.

Super high resolution shadowmaps aren't enough to win me over.

Quote from Evert

And it also has that and not much else, creating not more then a gimmick like type of gameplay, same ol'. Like Probotector, only less fun

A movie feeling as 2d as GOW, and only based on the gfx design and comic book violence as that game feels wouldn't get very far....oh wait '300' did. But noone hardly remembers that movie, it feels like nostalgia already.

/drunk ramblings.

Aye I agree there, If GoW had incredible gameplay (and not the kinda noob gameplay catered for the general jimbo bob who doesn't play games very often) it'd be one hell of a title.

A game like Gears of War starts starts feel very movie quality with the art direction and the way the cinematics/game design was handled.

I think that topic is probably the most under-discussed ever.

I agree games nowadays have a lot more artistic influence than say 8yrs a go.

Games being held up against movies is something that will take some more time before a game can hold up on its own. A lot of things stop it from doing so, like making sure it runs on your pc, ie textures/models not as complicated/detailed as they can be due to scene limitations etc.

So many little details and factors to talk about... oh my.

That doesn't look too bad at all.

To be honest you don't have to use decals. It'd be nice to see something clean/dirty for a change and not dirty dirty dirty dirty.. Everyone does dirty and not clean

Quote from Skjalg

You say that because you take it for granted.I've had 3 sunny days so far this year...

No I don't take it for granted. 1, I get sunburnt easily. 2, I'd rather look at some porn then take photographs of girls in bikinis. 3, Water, meh.

I like cold, dark and a morbid.

That's what I'm moving to Sweden

I like that. Reminds of something you'd see in Diablo 2 out in the desert

Yeah I heard it gets cold there. I was there 2 weeks ago in shorts and a t-shirt

Cheers

I'll be working in the Stockholm office. skillfully taking Philip's pixels while he's not looking.

KungFuSquirrel: That' one thing I can't wait for. It's like moving out of home for the first time!
