So, what are you working on right now?

Slaved on this scene the whole day. I am figuring out the style I want to go for in my exterior, so this art test will be a good stepping stone to the actual map.

Far out Spooks that looks incredible. Your use of lighting and shadows are perfect!

That's the magnetic driver plates that move the tram on the bottom. I plan on making a non-riding version of it and since I'm also constructing suspended bridge style railways it's very possible.

And, you can always crash one somewhere in the level to show off that goodness underneath :) I'd love to see it textured and in real-time.

The quality of the model is through the roof, all the details, the precise hard surface modeling coupled with the soft detail of the couch. Im amazed at how much work was put into in, the geometry is stunning. I quite like the style of it, because it blends a sort of futuristic design with a bit of kitsch and antique feeling to some of the elements. Will be great seeing your texturing for this, and even more so seeing it working in game.

Thankyou! I'm very happy to see this getting done as I was stuck trying to get the gameplay end of it in place for the past month. Once I have a whole working scene with this in it I wanted to record a video of the whole thing in action. To be sure I'll definitely circle back with the finished model at the very least.

You really need to learn to spell my name correct. Maybe you should stick with Obs ;)

Now that's a sewer. I also like the apartments, such as the speakeasy and the one with the persian window, I've been following progress on that.

(Note: there's a misalignment of a bar, last shot, bottom left)

 

It must be addicting, to have so many apartments, streets & niches across multiple large maps at your fingertips.

The best thing about this map is the shear number of ways the player can get from point A to point Z -

  • there are numbers thief Highway routes (and Im making more of these as I go),
  • there is the streets which maze-like (I have have asked Obsttorte to create an Auto map, otherwise players will surely get lost)
  • and then there is the expansive sewer system with attached & adjacent underground and basement locations.

I walked from one side of the map to the other and it puts BCD to shame in that regard :blink:

Those shots look incredible Bikerdude!

 

Especially the last image of the spiral staircase in the sewers, top notch work man!

Thank you for the kind words.

 

The original version of that cistern was built by our very own Flanders, I then built the spiral stairs and did a detail pass or two. The whole sewer section (there are several other sections in addition to the two shots shown above) was originally built for BCD, but due to hitting various DR/TDM limits we had to remove it. So when this map came along it was a no brainer.

That might be a bit over-the-top. Although the maze-like approach to level design definetely is worth rethinking.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
