Looks like the gameplay might be fun..yet frustrating*chases a guy off a platform to be shot from behind..*
It's also too dark/trippy for me..
Also,somewhat similiar to your last map you posted.

Very sexy use of texture and background, but the similarity to your last DM map is a little concerning. Break away from the random polys and random columns...go for something with a little more structure. It can really add to the game play and feel of the map.

Colorlooks good..the blue/green feel is very nice, yet the shading leaves a little to be desired. You're getting a good handle on it though :D Very nice.

Yeah, I was planning on making a more structured map next. This one was kind of an experiment. My first attempt at a map with a scenery-based background. I wasn't entirely happy with it, but it turned out decent so I decided to post it. It's kind of a different experience playing on it. One of the very few maps I've played with scenery for the background.

Anyway my next map, Lost Oasis (I'm making a "Lost MapPack"), will be a bit more structured. I finally realised that if I want to get any better at mapping, I need to try other stuff than random groups of pollies that look good. I'm looking forward to making Lost Oasis. It will be a new experience for me. =D

This map is really fun, but most of the action is at the bottom which is why those waypoints better hurry their stupid butts up.


Very, very good job; needs waypoints, hurry.

The background looks sweet, how did you do it?

I have concerns about the water level, it's way too high, so it has a bad feel to it.

But, i should congratulate you on the proper use of that fugly texture, you really made it look good. :p

The background was made in PhotoShop. I just took a really dark blue and a lighter blue, selected the gradient tool, set it to difference, and went crazy across the board. ;)

Sbu, are you saying you'll make it a ctf? Whats with the "will" part, ya mean "would"? That looks pretty groogvy, but I have my doubts...that ctf would be humongous(?)Could be fun, however.

@Reaper: I think the shading in the middle could be brighter...If you can see in the overview where the middle island that goes into a: ^ shape and is shaded black..might need to be lightened. It's a little to the point where the support becomes useless because it looks like its holding nothing.

There is nothing wrong with being dark and trippy.

I am like everyone else, who is waiting on waypoints.

The guy I was hoping would be able to do it is very busy. =S

If anyone is willing to path it, please do so. You can post it here, and I'll update it.

Thanks to anyone who is willing to do it.

This topic is a wee bit old, guys.

Look at the dates.

It's IDF-RIPsta's fault. He's a necro-poster. o.0

But thanks for the comment, RIPsta. And, Felix, this map was probably released before alex.oner's. It's quite old, now.
