That is many ramps. Definitely looks interesting.

FDA_Approved · 07-24-2012, 01:04 AM

That looks very interesting. Some crazy ass geometry in that map.

CaptainAhab · 07-24-2012, 03:15 AM

Giggity.

Raynian · 07-24-2012, 07:18 AM

That security room is an absolute clusterfuck.

Yes

If anyone plays a pickup on it I'd appreciate a demo or feedback!

Added some basic textures.
Removed some of the ramps.
Made water entrance harder to get in and out of.
Freed up some space in ramp room.
Removed some of the crazy ramps in ramp room.

I will redesign the security room if enough people hate the pillars :P (You can double jump off them)

oaties · 07-27-2012, 06:21 AM

Looking good! I think it kind of looks bland though, maybe more detailing :S I know its only a2 but still..

It looks fun though, I ran through a1 and saw some nice spots for a HW and soldier to play on defence. Im going to try to nominate it for some pickups, ill PM you the hltv demo if we ever play it

FDA_Approved · 07-29-2012, 03:48 AM

Besides the poop brown texture covering every wall it looks a lot better. It looks like a very frantic map. It should be very interesting to play.

AfterShock · 07-29-2012, 04:12 AM

Ok, trying to make it less bland.. a3:

http://www.mediafire.com/?3u9xfh4iphmtb5e

Made the slide from RR to T slightly easier
Slight redesign of halfway ramps in flag room
Started introducing more curves and 45 degree angles rather than everything at boxy right angles
Longer harder water route
Spammed ivy around the place

TODO:

Add some trees
Make midmap more interesting
Move offy spawn further away
Nogrens in spawn
Fix my buggy lighting, dunno why it flickers all the time?
Flip the bases to make a full map
Playtest

FDA_Approved · 07-29-2012, 04:24 AM

Like the ivy spam. Still dislike the poop painted walls. :P

AfterShock · 07-29-2012, 01:59 PM

yeah it's supposed to be sandstone, when I fix the lighting it might look like something other than poop.

Or i'll just retexture it. Or i'll get someone who is actually good at texturing to help me

homie in reboks' · 08-01-2012, 07:36 PM

Can ramps be one color and floors be another? 3 colors hurts my weak ass eyes. Just a suggestion. It's a fun map. Double jumps galore!

AfterShock · 08-04-2012, 01:09 AM

A lot of ramps made shallower to prevent weird ramp sliding as scout running around
Added exit from spawn to water area
Trim and texturing added
Pillars removed from the central route to switch. There are still a few on the edges out of the way
Poop coloured texture removed.. but it's still fairly boring. I'll make it better.

To do:

Make base walls more interesting / replace the bland plaster texture
Move offy spawn further away
Make a midmap

FDA_Approved · 08-04-2012, 01:20 AM

Starting to look really nice. I like the wall textures a million times better already.

CaptainAhab · 08-04-2012, 02:04 AM

Looking much, much better. Not going to lie, ff_shock_a1 was...

What did you have in mind for the mid map? I feel like this map would favor very rapid play styles and really rushing into the enemy base quickly from spawn.

KubeDawg · 08-04-2012, 02:40 AM

Idea for pillar/sec room once you get into more detail. What if you made it so they are broken pillars from previous civilizations like this, merely for looks on top of the current functionality:
