The Official Interlopers "Map Pimpage Thread"

[Hollow]

Just playtested this. Very good map. Visually interesting throughout, nice puzzles that get you using your brain, Impressed much.

[Dr. Delta]

It's a very bad map. Puzzles are shit. Pile of crap this is. And yes, this is me telling lies because I couldn't (didn't want to put time in) solving them puzzles. Nice job Sander.

this shot's awesome I like the gritty feel

Joe, if that's the new Fallout Shelter design, I like it. Try to get more curves in there.

I'm not shooting for the Vault-Tec look anymore, but I am shooting for an underground-facility look.

Here's an update:



And a bonus new section:



Actually, these are a few weeks old too. I just didn't feel like taking screenshots in forever. I think it actually looks better now than in these shots, but I'm gonna give it some more polish and keep working on improving prop placement. I'm also trying out different versions of ceilings and widths of the hallway.

[Gary]

I like it. Looks very good.

IT'S A BRIDGE DYLAN! A BRIDGE!

and a good one aswell...but looks like it could use more of a catwalk for pedestrians.

I was going to make some witty comment about this lovely cluster fuck but I'm completely out of mental energy due to endless prop alignment.

[jgoodroad]

witty comments
I didn't think that would be possible...I figured that prop arrangement was a pipe dream.
you want some brushwork with those props?
what is this I don't even

IRL Builders tips:
Purple is self explanatory
You need either the red or yellow for structural support. Yellow is obvious, but red would be like a glue laminated beam which looks nice exposed sometimes if you like that wood look (or steel, but doesn't look as nice). It's common for a wall to stick out as part of the support structure (but it would impede your stairs in this case):


P.S. You wouldn't need a glulam as thick as the one in this pic for this application.

[MáØ]

Yeah coder, because game geometry has to be structurally perfect...

Edited:

Attention to detail adds to realism.

*original post was overreacting a bit, sorry*

[Major Banter]

I really, really want to avoid pillars. They complete screw up the openness of a map.

I'll see how it looks; I'm shooting for realism but sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

[coder0xff]

Forgot to mention that the red/yellow is supposed to be either-or from a construction stand point - if you don't wanna have pillars the glulam is the perfect option (or neither *shrugs*)

[thefight]

Holy fuck! Am I wearing a shirt that says fuck with me lately or what???
