Really nice looking maps you have there.

I would recommend putting in some space and use a larger font between projects. Right now it's really easy to miss where one set of screen shots ends and a new one begins.

Might also be a good idea to provide an overhead layout shot of your MP levels if you're interested in moving to design work.

Also, your Space Slug screen shots are too dark to see anything but the Millennium Falcon and fog. You have some beautiful assets in there, make sure people can see them.

Thanks, guys! I'm really thrilled to see such positive feedback this time around. Already started planning on the next map in the series.

Man, I kinda want your job now.

Really impressive looking, dude.

Looking good. Can't wait to try it.

Thanks, Evert! It was dropped by the guy who was killed as the player enters the main floor of the station, but I guess that was not made clear enough.

After almost a year of distractions and side projects (read: work & gaming), I've finally pushed this level to a state I can call complete. I hope you enjoy it.

Jealous of the creativity ITT.

Replaying Doom 3. God this game is so good.

Yeah, that does sound painful.

Quote from Vilham

finally managed to make a diamond and boy was it a pain in the arse.

Sphere brush with lots of vertex manipulation?

Quote from D3ads

The Dnieper River is a one of the largest in Europe, which flows through Russia, Belarus and Ukraine before hitting the Black sea. So you could pronounce it one of three ways technically (Dnepr, Dniapro and Dnipro for each country respectively). In English it's supposed to be pronounced "Ni-per" though, so you could go with that

High Resolution Cartridge.

I'll start it off. This was on the Atari 5200.

Oh come on, Chris. You've seen what people can do with the right talent in Source, Unreal, and CryEngine. Why would idTech 5 be any different?

I wouldn't put it past Bethesda to find a way to set up modular everything using idTech5. Would the megatexturing be relevant to a game like that? Maybe not. But everything else? Sure.

Quote from 2d-chris

It'd be near impossible to make a game the scale of oblivion with ID tech 5

Bethesda/Zenimax bought id back in 2009. That's about 6 months-1 year after development of ES5 began if they started right after releasing Fallout 3 (and didn't have a separate team developing it prior to FO3's release). Nothing I've seen from idTech 5 indicates it would have issues with scale (quite the opposite if you've seen the Rage demos). Rather, Bethesda didn't have access to idTech 5 when development started on ES5.

Just separate it out by engines, no? Then those Source kids don't have to worry about the super hot & sexy cool Unreal people shoving them into lockers and stealing their lunch money (or using subtractive brushes).

If it makes you feel any better, your experience would have only gotten worse once you had gotten to play.

I like the new questing format, but I enjoy following the storyline. Otherwise it's just a mindless grind, which means I might as well be playing a skinner box like Farmville.

Can't help but wonder if these new cutscenes is Blizzard's attempt at testing the waters to switch quest formats in case SWTOR blows them out of the water (unlikely).
