  • Corwin's house renovation adventure

Now focusing on finishing the renovations of my apartment, bathroom is 99% done, just gotta wait for a few things to dry and put back the window on its frame, test for leaks with water pressure turned on at max, and put the door back on.

    Lots of mistake on that one room along the way, the worse one being that because I was changing the window I stupidly decided to do the tiles around before I put on the frame so that I wouldn't have to do perfect cuts because they would be covered up (a friend was helping me with the window and I wanted to use his expertise putting the frame right there and then, instead of waiting for the whole room to be tiled), but turns out it's not so easy to tile a wall from the top to bottom because of something called gravity. Had to keep on putting supports on the wall and making sure everything was 100% horizontal to the millimeter because the tiles would slide down while the glue was still soft otherwise. Took longer than it should have because of that to tile the whole room, but it turned out ok in the end. Also I bought some super solid tiles thinking it would be a good thing, but that meant they could only be cut with a disk cutter and piercing them was a pain in the dick.

    Trying to finish toilets and kitchen next. Most other rooms just need some paint and touch-ups and putting shelves and such in the closets. I also intend on doing one last round of finely polishing all the hardwood floors before I can start furnishing.

    This is awesome

    Lighting is definitely the primary concern right now, but I'm pretty optimistic about it. Here's a recent screenshot from some tests:

    Just keep in mind that you want it to be about 2X brighter than you think, because some people play with no alpha boost in he video settings. Alpha boost washes out your lighting but you want the map to be playable for people who haven’t tweaked any settings and are playing default.

    Seems interesting, hope it has a nice story. I'm on board for another high quality SP experience, it's been a minute or two. Feels like the game has a bit stronger energy and sense of identity this time around.

    Visibility here seems really reduced. Black seems like the predominate wall color now... Not sure if this change is advisable.

    I would keep your dark skybox but revert much of the level lighting, readability is important for the gameplay to be fun.

The trip to Lisbon I took at the beginning of development to shoot reference and record audio resulted in the map having: ~100 custom models ~60 custom materials ~100 custom sounds All based on the Portuguese city. The size and timings of the map are comparable to maps currently in active duty and the layout with clear land marks and a few unique areas should be easy to learn for every player of every skill level. There's also a small MapCore easteregg and the first person to find it gets a picture of a piece of cake! Once again I want to thank everyone here at MapCore who participated in playtesting or gave feedback during the development. And please let me know what you guys think of the end result!WORKSHOP LINK   The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    I think this is your strongest work yet. The sparkling ocean effect (sprite?) is really fun. In the past you’ve maybe not had the most realistic style, but you truly made it work here without losing any of your charm. Interested to play it soon!

    This is pretty cool, always nice to see an artist get their due in the “mainstream”. A film of visuals inspired by his work could definitely be striking to look at

    lmao, turns out it was Jackie Brown. In my defense, this woman really does resemble Uma Thurman...
