[Map] Inheritance - Exploration/Fighting map

Post by SteelRaven7 » Thu Mar 01, 2012 6:07 pm

Hey, just completed my first map after, and it turned out pretty cool so I decided to upload it here. It takes place in an outpost placed on some old ruins, hence the name. There is some pretty cool hidden stuff here and there, be sure to look around!

Map idea: I wanted to create something with the impressive mountains heightmap, but since it's a pretty huge map, I needed to come up with an idea. I settled on making some old ruins from an ancient civilization which had been converted to a more modern (in the OG sense) millitary outpost. Since the map is kinda big, there are many individual segments here and there, and it's up to the player to explore them.

Also made a thumbnail (shameless hint hint, wink wink, Anton)

You should really consider calculating shadows and ambient occlusion for your level, especially for screenshots! Video tutorial on the subject: http://youtu.be/rG2OlpXqTos

I like how it looks, going to have to check it out!

Oh lol, I thought I did... /Facepalm.

EDIT: Updated the screenshots to some much nicer ones.

Played it, it was really nice! It was a lot of fun to play through this level! :D
Unfortunately, the amount of enemies will probably stop those with not so good computers from playing it, but still, great level.

I like the openness of it, and that you started out with weaker weapons and then towards the end you could get the sword. It felt like a real place, which is really great.

Thanks for the feedback! I have plans on making a lite version of the map, or simply reduce the number on the original level, and have the roam around a bit more. Difficult decisions when dealing with maps of this size though...
