The Never to be Finished Map Pimpage Thread!

[TicTac]

funny you should say that, my Portal project (which I consider to be some good mapping, tho that could be biased ) started out as a map for the portal-gun mod in GMOD. Back then, I didn't know what Snap-To-Grid was, nor how to seal a map proper. My whole mapping ethic SUCKED. Basically, my HDD crashed so I started anew for the real Portal. I had mapped a little more for Source, and gotten way better. Recently, I went and looked at a backup of one test-chamber from my old map. I felt so ashamed that I created this misaligned, fucked-up pile of rubbish!

Oh yea, point of that ramble is this: If the core idea is good, keep it and run with it. I didn't use any of my original content, but I did use my "blueprints" and plans for levels. 90% of them turned out to work great, needing only minor tweaking.

Bump. You guys are hiding stuff from me, I can FEEL it.

Here is a newly abandon port.



Here is a room I was making to test how survivors would get points over time allowing them to buy boards of wood to seal the windows.



And here is a cable car I was testing to see how well it would work if the survivors on the inside has to shoot infected off the top while the infected could slash at the support and eventually break sending the car and the survivors downward.

A ship level I never finished.




Level I made to test a stalker like location.



A kitchen I might finish.



A combine test.



An effect/environment test.



Oh hai! Mah first map! ^^



Oh yeah and here is a map that I was going to do for the map battle 'Eden' I dropped because it sucked. And I'm sure you can see why...

A map concept I was trying to flesh out.

[dark_veil]

damn Guss79... thats wicked!

[Zipfinator]

Yeah I really like it. Could be good for a HL2DM map or some other mod with a space/metal style.

[Dionysos]

There are some great looking maps here... gucia and moroes' especially caught my eye.

[Guss79]

Haha, thanks guys. I never figured out what I wanted to use that hall for... maybe one of these days. Who knows.

[joe_dirt976]

everyone knows me for this, so i'm going to throw this in the pile,
my highway map, the third map i ever started work on, saw over a year of progress only to be scrapped because of inefficiencies.








this happened around the time l4d came out, was looking for a setting to put it in.


this was its last update


this is the new one, making great progress in an abandoned layout.


this is the new one, using construction as a way to break things up.
