Mein Map

Stop being a good mapper.

My main problem with mapping is finding textures and "senarios" that work. If you map for HL2 DM you already have many, if not all, the senarios along with the textures needed to make a good map. You only need some nice geometry and a good layout and you have yourself a map.

Not saying you did a bad job on your map, just saying I'm finding it way harder creating my own ideas :). Gotta run.
 
I usually think up the ideas in real-time as I map, making my map usually looks weird at first :p
 
Very impressive! You obviously have a sound grasp of both brush and entity work. Who coded the 'Administer Health' part? That's a nice touch. Will this be playable anytime soon?
 
I did the healing thing, just to give the player something to do :P As for the due date....well, should be in a month or so, but dont count on it :p
 
Man, that is f'kn insane. I love it :)

Texture work is REALLY good. Something I find very difficult, much the same as how Dead-Inside feels. It's just really hard to find textures that suit the level, and then everytime I pick the textures, I tend to get sick of them and attempt to change them again. Perhaps I should take someones advice and use the dev/measuregeneric textures at first, and apply other textures later.

The DEV textures are only good for running the map to focus on the gameplay (so the designer wont be distracted by the textures) I myself never used it :p
 
As far as realism goes, it looks like you are a cut above the rest. But somehow I don't get the feeling from your screenshots that gameplay would be all that spetacular. It could just be the limits of 2D, but I get a feeling the gameplay isn't up to par. Course, seeing as i didnt play it......good luck/job. Keep mapping.
