The Architect

Post by War Bringer »

hey folks... been out of the loop for a really long while... anyway...

any of you folks ever made anything (be it building or landscape) that you were just really proud of? i think one of the biggest draw backs that i have is the need for detail that i keep latching on to.

and i know that detail's a b*tch to work with (the more tiles i seem to put, the slower things get) and i remember someone giving the reason "that's why there are so many floor tile sets. so you can add different floor tiles to add different textures without having to put more than 3 tiles over each other." Still though, it feels like it's the only thing i'd be useful for.

Any one interested or is there even a possible way of getting a gallery up of not entire maps, but constructions you've been happy to make?

this was to be my church/mercenary base for a town that (surprise!) didn't finish.

Looks very nice WB.I'll have to wait until I can get some hosted space from Killian before I can do anything but it may be interesting to show some of these pics.

yah, i'm spaming because i know this thread probably helps no one. but hell, i got bored.

here's 2 years work (ok, i probably forgot about it for a year, and picked up again just recently) on a underground facility... trying to make it complete with QM, Control room, Security check-points, weapons research, lab/tech research, underground garage, bio lab, etc.

... as you can tell... it's not finished... but hey, you can watch the progress...

Yep, nice. That last one reminds me a bit of some of the maps I seen in Awaken. Like if you chopped pieces of it off, it would look like some of that campaign's facilities.

Nice work, I always appreciate attention to detail. I've done a lot of work on maps myself. I just hope I can make myself get back into the thick of it. I just want to make this perfect action/adventure/strategy game that doesn't seem to exist :)

Eh.. I can't call my campaign an RPG anymore. It has RPG elements like stats n stuff but I completely threw out the player's freedom to control the character/s personality. There are so many fun elements I want to incorporate that I don't think anyone will mind the loss anyway. I just hope its more fun than something like Septerra Core.

edited: I can't believe I misspelled threw! Argh!

Sorry forgot to enter in my profile! :)

Funny think is, on paper where I've drawn it, I have all sorts of checkpoints and stuff. I'll have a preview of the first level on the yahoo site today probably.

Thanks WB.

Oh, I've posted the first level of the map(the only I've created 3 months back) for anyone who'd like to see how my work is like(not too good).

It's in my yahoo board bellow. You have to join and check out the files/photos areas, under "Brother in arms". Feel free to check and experiment with the laser graphic. A re;ic from my old Trek map, but I'm using for BiA too.

Cheers.

yup... still workin... believe it or not, i've never finished any of my maps (other than the arena one)... so i'm still working on the underground facility... i'm on the garage now (that big big empty space in the corner).

Morgan, hope you can find a way to see the map :joy: . just try reloading... i have no idea why there'd be a problem.

anyway... just out of boredom and taking a break from the map... i decided to try and mess around with editing tiles...

if anyone can turn these to tiles or sprites for me, it'd be helpful. i'm too lazy to learn. let me know.

the site hosting the pictures have poor quality, so message me for the files.
