So, what are you working on right now?

[Moonbo]

I needed it to be a certain height, ending just below the placement of the glass-pane above it, and so it had to be resized (it'll make sense once you play the FM). After that screenshot, I actually went ahead and made a shadow mesh with brushes for that bookshelf in any case.

Since I'm roughly halfway through my FM, here's some of what's completed. This is the last you'll see until it's done!

Very impressive work there young lady, iits always a joy to see a new mapper with advanced mapping skills straight off the bat! But all of those shots are dark in the extreme, even with my monitor gamma at max.

 

Drop me a Pm as I have a bunch of better wallpapers and carpet textures for you to use in the map. And lastly in the shots where I can see the ceiling/wall, you perhaps should have some trim, as you have it between the wall/floor..

[Airship Ballet]

D'aw thanks. It's strange: I work with really low brightness on my screen because I'm photo-sensitive, but I can see fine. I'm leaving light balancing until beta testing anyway, so I can get a balance between the brightness levels people want and those I want the mission to have. I'll most likely make another detail pass over the whole thing when I'm done, and one thing I was going to do then was ceiling trims. Currently my mapping time is divided 1:2 between adding painting skins and building rooms.

[RPGista]

I say, if you calibrated your own brightness levels on the training map ruler, you are within the intended range, and should not worry much about monitor or user setting fluctiations. Its normal for people to have to adjust slightly their own setting to match a specific map, because they use different color palettes, light sizes, ambients, etc.

 

But good work, the map seems to have a natural looking architecture, which I like.

[Airship Ballet]

Thanks, I'm concerned mostly with getting it built for now. I'll make sure anybody testing has their brightness set as per the training level and work from there, should make it fairly painless.

[Goldwell]

Are these screenshots from the same FM that features that

nope nope nope creepy door

video you posted a while back?

[Airship Ballet]

Yep! There's plenty more since, too. I'm intent on making a somewhat supernatural mission fit into a mundane setting that for all intents and purposes plays like your usual sneaking mission. There's an objective system inspired by Thief 1's Lost City, too, which is probably enough of a hint to give the game away. It's never been done before in TDM, at least.

A good woman, that whats we like to see.

A friend of mine made a bear skin rug for me which gives this living room a nice cosy feeling

Niiiice....

They don't make bears like they used to!

Doh, why didn't I think of that - well said.

[Bikerdude]

Well spent the last 2 days building this little apartment thats part of a much larger mission that several TDM team members have all contributed to.

 

 

[Airship Ballet]

It certainly looks lived-in. Detroit lived-in, Silent Hill lived-in.

[Obsttorte]

Looks nice, Biker.

Now on the surface it looks great of course but... it's really missing a nice beautiful bear skin rug in that room. I think if you added that it would be perfect, at the moment it just doesn't have the bear skin rug appeal that I seek in TDM fm's.

 

Top job!

So link me the bearskin rug already...:-D

[Sotha]

Well done biker. Those screenies look like they came form some modern AAA title.

[Dunedain19]

Great work, Biker! Those are new window textures, am I not mistaken?

[Bikerdude]

Thanks guys, just did another detail pass (curtains and such) but you'll have to wait and play the mission to see

 

@Dundain, yup courtesy of Melan/Necrobob.

Do you have an ETA yet?

[Bikerdude]

About a month.
