So, what are you working on right now?

[Goldwell]

Just learned that H.R.Giger has passed away. Coincidentally, my WIP mission have few visuals "strongly influenced" by his style. I hope it will carry a spirit of his works well.

 

 

 

wow... very beautiful! And Alien-esque indeed!

 

This is for your submarine mission right?

Very impressive. So organic. Looks like it came from some other engine.

[7upMan]

As long as it's better than Aliens: Colonial Marines, I'd say get on with it.

I assume its a Doom3 mission though.

[ERH+]

@Goldwell: yes it will be in submarine mission.

 

@Bikerdude: do Doom3 have visibility gem? But it stretch TDM staffage for sure. For now, mission's "protagonist" looks like nuclear class submarine.

TDM doesn't really have a universe, there are recommendations but hey if theres a mission stealing and/or having an adventure under the sea i'm in!

 

It would also be really cool to see a futuristic steampunk spaceship FM as well

[SteveL]

Wow nice work!

[Obsttorte]

I would second what Goldwell says. Not every TDM mission has to be part of the TDM universe. The main point is that it is entertaining.

[Sotha]

Hey!

 

I just realized I have the basic & detailing geometry done. The benefit of modular building is that detailing comes hand-in-hand with basic geometry. Most of the furniture is in. I put in key AIs.

 

Next is the big chore of monsterclipping. That is the downside of modular building, I suppose. But anyhow: things are suddenly progressing very quickly!

 

[SteveL]

Dammit! Seeing that makes me want to restart my first map for the fourth time! I'll resist, and learn how to do that for my second. Nice work

And for instance my ship have a diesel engine -not because I really value dieselpunk over steampunk or clockworkpunk, but just because I have managed to reproduce full animated engine, with moving pistons and (glass) cylinders filling with fuel and bursting with flame repetitively, with interactive four speed gearbox. It would be stupid to dump it just for genre purity.

very impressive, but such an engine could be used in TDM in a powerstation etc.

 

@Sotha, nice use of lighting - the floor really jumps out.

[Bikerdude]

dont know why it double posted.

[Digi]

@Sotha - I like the skylights in that room.

 

@ERH - intimidatingly cool engine there.

TDM doesn't really have a universe

 

Well, it does, but that doesn't mean every mission has to take place there. Isn't there a famous T2 mission that takes place on Mars or something?

[Moonbo]

That'd be "4th Planet" by Independent Thief, a really fun one.

Well I guess all the FM's have a central theme that steampunk/medieval world but what I mean is there's no overlying story tieing these all in together. It's moreso each FM author either creates there own universe/setting or refers to the universe planned out in the wiki (which is very good might I add). I have planned some future FM's that really step outside of what would be a "regular" TDM FM and explore some different landscapes/situations.

That looks fucking awesome! Can't wait to play your FM!

[Moonbo]

Still plugging away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feedback and crits appreciated as always :-).

[Bikerdude]

oooh very nice, but it looks like I have some perfing to do in due course :-)

[Moonbo]

Oh yes indeed. I'm just about ready to send that section to you for your thoughts. It's actually not *that* bad though, but there are a few spots where the primitive count goes up to the 2700s.

[Bikerdude]

Well Im sure we can use the caulk/FS trick you and Greyman love useing :-)

[demagogue]

Re: Scifi Thief FMs, reminds me of IIRC JohnD's later Love Story FMs which were quite scifi.

And of course Sliptip's very scifi FM.

I like these kinds of excursions sometimes.

Don't forget the seminal Brainchild.
