Thanks, it's not exactly level design, but *at least I'm getting relevant industry experience*.

Sorry for asking about the length again. I just scrolled up to see I also asked back in january. Damn, it's almost summer? Anyway, looking forward to see this released.

One open door leads to another, so having a foot at Ubi is a good thing and will lead to exciting things in the near future.

I just scrolled back and saw your January post; I was already gone by the time you posted, hence the no reply

Regarding the amount of hours, it really varies from day to day, week to week.

To give a rounded average, I have clocked around 1500 hrs in the dev tools over 18 months, which makes for 83.33 hrs per month on avg, 2.77 hrs per day on avg (assuming every day work)

Further Dying Light 2 reveal at E3 next month

Growing up in the 80s, these folks, along with Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, The Three Stooges, Louis de Funès, and Tom &Jerry, were my slapstick comedy heroes.

It's bittersweet to witness the "backstage" action of these 2 funny guys putting on the brave smiling face in public while hiding a ton of burdens in their actual lives.

Recommended for fans of Laurel and Hardy and for everyone looking for insights on their actual lives.

Grazie mille Flavio; you've been a constant voice of support and cheers along this project. (congrats on becoming a dad; just recapping with what happened during my absence here :D)

damn, I leave for little over 3 months and you already are with Ubi!

Jokes aside, congrats on the position :).

The gameplay will totally depend on player skill (knowledge of parkour and Dying Light mechanics) and style (explorer or just speed-running thru the main quest)

If one will choose to go as quickly as possible thru the quests without any exploration of remote locations, points of interest, scavenging, fighting or random encounters with NPC, then you can finish the campaign in approx 2h 15 min (give or take 10-15 min)

If you decide to enjoy the campaign as it is supposed to be played, then you could easily sink 3-4hrs +; it's yours to play as you see fit

Coming soon

Whatup folks! I'm back. I've been away for more than 3 months (116 notifications once I logged in now ); real life issues and work always manage to get in the way

Nevertheless, I've been working tirelessly towards finishing this campaign that turned out to be huge in scope and consumed every bit of free time I have. I now basically design scripts and quests while sleeping and dreaming too

I had a couple of minor setbacks while designing the finale and I had to counter it by... creating my own custom AI specific for the finale.

A year and a half ago when I started this project, I knew little about scripting; now I'm creating my own AI presets and scripts as well as more than 870 lines of quests script.

I'm working late nights on this and still have to finish the last 10% of this WIP (final art pass, detailing tweaks, FX, sounds, power lines, AI barriers...), and if everything goes well, I should be going public and releasing this campaign somewhere this month.

Now for some screenshots to compensate for the lack of updates in the last 3 months

Thanks

2018 flew by pretty quickly and I enjoyed learning the tools and working on this project.

Almost there - possibly the last update before the final release

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of this WIP thread; it's been a long road but I loved every minute of it.

Major update today as the 3rd and final part of the campaign/map is almost done.

I'm now fine tuning the finale (location/scripting/NPCs) as well as one of the side quests. Once everything falls in place, I'll be shifting towards the final detailing/art pass, finalizing the foliage system, nav mesh manual tuning, final lighting tweaks, and gameplay misc optimization (invisible player/NPC barriers, etc...)

Stay tuned

And finally, a taste of things to come in the finale (without spoilers :))

[Blocked Image: https://i.imgur.com/RpnGpLg.jpg]

8 days, 2 consecutive blizzards, snowfall, torrential rain, 95-100 km/h heavy winds, freezing-ass temperatures, lightning/thunder storms...

Finally, it all stopped yesterday, and sunshine is back which makes for some nice sunset shots

So, awp stands for awesome wallpaper photo, right?

That would be Counter-Strike 1.1

welcome back; nice to see the progress made since you first posted the wip on mapcore.

Hope you get hooked back on mapping and level design after all these hiatus years; good luck

Big fan of Rowan Atkinson since the Mr Bean days in the early 90s. The VR sequence in this movie was hilarious and well orchestrated

OT: tools allow you to make Battle Royale maps now that they’ve launched the DLC?

Dying Light:Bad Blood is not a DLC; it's a full standalone separate game that uses the Dying Light engine with updated assets/meshes/materials/entities.

The current developer tools only cater to Dying Light and its DLC (The Following) and does not contain the new assets of Bad Blood.

I'm not sure if they will release new dev tools once the game leaves early access; we'll wait and see

Major winter update

Substantial progress on this WIP as many new areas are being developed and fleshed out. Development is going smooth and some serious amount of time is going into this project; I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel (dying light pun intended)

New screenshots incoming (still WIP)

But overall, love the screenshots that are showing up. Great use of detail and each image looks professional!

Hey thanks, nice to see you here on the core

Once you move on, Source becomes a tedious chore if you ever decide to come back
