Map Battle 36 - The Ministry of Love

[BubbleQ]

Ok, I have not reed the book yet :/ But I really like the story about it witch I got from wikipedia^^ but I do also think I read some i my english class once

So I think I will make a room, a room to make people love the "Big Brother" right? Anyway that is what I´m going to do.
Good luck everybody else!

Tbh I don't really know if my idea fits with room 101, so im gunna have to leave this battle out.

[Major Banter]

Isn't it specifically "what you fear"? As oppose to directly being room 101? It seems a little confusing.

I think we should just try and make a map that interprets the theme as we see fit, instead of asking for an exact explanation of the given theme. I think the biggest part map battles lies in actually trying to understand the theme and then showing that in your map; not simply making the most detailed map that marginally fits the theme. For instance, making a hyper-detailed. dark, dirty, creepy and bloody room with a dead body in a torture chair isn't warding the most creative submission. Sure it's based on the idea of torture and it looks super-realistic, but it's simply not thoughtful of the theme other than torture. I'm convinced that there's more to the current theme than torture itself.

[dissonance]

Hmm, I think I have an idea now.

This contest has inspired me to read 1984
And I agree with nub.

[vcool]

WIPS? ANYONE?

[Evil Scotsman]

Is there anyone doing this one?

Am I right in saying that the theme is fear, inside a room.

[904]

^
yes and no.
The theme is your interpretation of the Ministry of Love with the knowledge of the meaning that George Orwell gave it in 1984. + read what nub said.

[Meotwister]

I want to do this one, but I'm not sure I have the time to. We'll see I suppose.

Tbh I wanted to join one of these map battles - but everytime I get the time and need it gets a idea I have no idea's for

WIP:


There's GOING to be an Icythasaur raging out of that water, but I can't get him to work yet.

[Major Banter]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Fallout 3, the fact the Vault the Lone Wanderer comes out of is numbered 101 seems a little too coincidental, particulary with it having a dictatorish overseer.

Nice WIP bagel, but more lighting variance would be nice. Get some colours in there!

[Deathbagel]

Improved lighting, ichthsaur still won't work:
