hey everyone. i am definitely gonna be submitting something, even if i have to fail out of school to do it! i am currently working out some small problems with my layout. i'm trying to make something a little on the larger side to meet the 4-8 player requirement.

 

i'm revisiting an old theme from a couple years ago that never got past the layout stage. that map was called echoes, so i'm taking the name, but everything else, i.e. the layout and brushwork, will be new.

 

i'll keep ya posted

I'm looking forward to this pat, I'm glad to see both you and fkd around here!

[Sprony]

Yeah man, it's great that you guys signed up. Was about to unleash Hipshot on you to persuade you

[fKd]

Good to see you check in Pat, im sure you'll make something cool!

[pat h]

layout finished - wooot!

 

 

this one was a pain in the ass to get working. i had to go through four versions before i got something i was happy with. there are still some things i would like to tweak but i'm going to move on to making things look pretty now.

Now, show us some nice graphics Pat!

[fKd]

Yeah Pat, where the progress shots at Bet the layouts another goodin!

[pat h]

nothing to see yet. still working out the theme. as usual, i wasted a couple weeks trying to go for something photorealistic and then realized i didn't have anywhere near the assets to pull it off in competition time.

 

changing directions and going simpler now, e.g. q3dm6-style. i want something that people will see and think of classic quake. in the end, gameplay is king, so i think i will be relying more on the strength of my layout than on complicated graphics. 

 

attached is a shot of what i am thinking about scrapping.

Too bad you are thinking about scrapping it..Looks great. If you do decide to keep some of those structures, feel free to use the Wiindsong textures if you want

[pat h]

yeah, i think i am gonna salvage it. i found some other textures i can use... it should be interesting

 

thanks for the support!

[phantazm11]

Anytime...I know whatever you come up with will look fantastic

[fKd]

yeah man salvage it, plus with a little lighting magic etc that brush work will look really strong. amped for another pat h map.

[pat h]

you guys are the best

 

here's a quick screenie - kind of. i'm keeping things mysterious for now with a filter shot. stay tuned for the big reveal once lighting gets done.

Worst - post a real screenshot Pat =)

 

I use the same filter for my levelshots though =/

[pat h]
