Here's a map I've been working on for a little while, it's finally reached the point where it needs to see the world and for you to decide if it's a map you might enjoy.



Download here

It's a beta version, it's probably not perfect, the layout isn't necessarily final.

I've tried to make a map that looks nice and is playable and specifically for urtHD.



Thanks - John

Well, since I made the ballon rouge map I've been making maps differently, I rounded up a few people at places I work/ed who would rather play test my maps than waddle down to get a starbucks at lunchtime. I've worked with all these people and so they know how to tell me when I've got something wrong and I value their judgement, some have been playing q3 based games since the beginning.

So, I build a rough map in a big box and let the guys play test the rough layouts, I change these each evening and then - when everyone is happy I construct the final map from the rough, I usually start a new map as the rough is hacked around.

It normally takes an evening to build a map from scratch, I use rough placeholder textures at first.

After that it takes about 2/3 weeks to make the models and final textures.

I'm going to keep going with this method for the next 3 maps after this one, I think by then I'll have learned enough to make my first good map.

lol. I've worked for a {ISP/HOSTER/SOFTWARE HOUSE} since it started, in the early days of delivering internet to your home when people connected to a local ISP over 56k modem I was the guy who reset your connection if you'd been surfing for too long.

I've not had any involvement with the games industry since starglider was ported to the Amstrad PCW (word processor), I worked out how the boot loader worked on this machine. Nowadays I specialise in web based big solutions for newspapers.

But I'm more interested in working out how to grow olive trees in the middle of England than whether a>=55

@ObScUrE har de har har har :-)
