FP Mapping Contest: Underground - Developers

Once did one of these in 2 days. A month is aaaaaages.

No it's not, a winning entry takes weeks at the very least, and that's spending hours at a time slaving away at it. Did your 2-day creation win by any chance? I wouldn't have thought it would if there were any serious entries... ( not to sound horrible, just a fact) [editline]1st January 2011[/editline] Really, I don't mean to sound mean... hehe.

Because it was small, it meant i spent the time making it look good. As such, seeing as it isn't a functional map, it's got 700 downloads so far.

I didn't mean to insult, I just don't like people cheapening the amount of work that goes into sucessful level design..

If you consider that many maps that take a few hours will be fullbright pieces of shit, crafted after someone watches that idiots tutorials online, then dumped on here then we have to deal with it. The engine is capable of a lot more. Without all the finishing touches i made to that map, it would have been a 2 hour map. However i spent a long time adding details, such as sparks, and of course the blizzard.

Anyone like my tournament Idea? Monthly challenges so people don't lose interest, you'll have the main fighters that are judged are by people and then you have the people that want to join in the public version.

Probably over-complicating it there...

Yet I can't help to think that you'll be killed by the ones that will have to code this ( but on a brighter note: you are already a dead chicken).

Enter me please.

[QUOTE=leontodd;27131214]Enter me please.[/QUOTE] For once the Late button actually has a usage :D

WebOfTrust is reading the thread as we speak.

[QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;27150116]For once the Late button actually has a usage :D[/QUOTE] Well if you rate him funny the late button still doesn't have any usage. :\

[QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;27150116]For once the Late button actually has a usage :D[/QUOTE] Entering at this stage still has a purpose. As already discussed.

Why am I not in the list of contestants?

[QUOTE=MenteR;27151488]Why am I not in the list of contestants?[/QUOTE] Apologies, added. If anybody else signed up and does not see their name in the list, please re-advise because I missed a month.

Did you change the teams for me? I'm working alone now. Also, welcome back. :buddy:

Got my iPod on shuffle, a full day of nothing to do and Source SDK open. This is going to be one hell of a productive day.

[QUOTE=-Xemit-;27173514]And suddenly a mappers block.[/QUOTE] Don't jinx him. :ohdear:

I got a lot of tedious stuff done, though stopped after I got tired and planned out another area. If I'm able to get mapping today, I'll be doing a metric fuckton of displacement work :)

I'm going to have to work fast, still have a ton left that I really want to do. "Guess the theme", though I guess I'm late as someone else was doing Metro2033 as a map as well. I apologize for the poor quality in the photos.

First pic made me hwwaaaaaaaaa. Nice work.

Took a break on my map to focus on the demo for Opposing Force 2. Will continue work after the 14th.

Media Any suggestions?[/QUOTE] I think you have to many pure yellow lights. Try to use different colors. Also around the campfires, you could try to dim the lights from the lamps, and make the fire light up the room. Also throw in some blue lights in there as well. Other than that it looks really nice.

goddamn mappers block instead of continuing on my map i've somehow managed to create a store...

Made the mistake of buying Minecraft. My map will officially not get done. I'm not even joking, I can't start the SDK without thinking about minecraft again.

Make an underground Minecraft map, then.

I think Im going to quit this. I never want to work on it anymore. Sorry arty, I lost interest. Thanks for all of the help you gave us!
