Radio Station - DEVBLOG!

8/04/2010


I figured I'd log my progress on my new map, both as a motivation for myself and as a reference to people who'd like to see how a map is made.

It all starts with the concept art (it's horrible and only I can make sense of it.)

Image
Image

Once that's done, I start with the basics. I create blocks of the rough shape of the displacements, and subdivide it all.

Image

After that, I create the building geometry. This took a while, but it was worth it as I could now base my gameplay and block off/open entrances. Oh and I also changed the lighting :v:

Image

Nothing major here, just added some shrubs and rocks I'd made.

Image

This is a big update. I added a watch tower, a gate puzzle (you can't see that) and the far mountain (which I'll show soon).

Image

Added walls, and powerlines (and various displacements)

Image

Stay tuned...?

Jlea, out of curiousity what did you think of the Bad Company 2 level set in the Aral Sea? Assuming you played it, that is?

Because I thought it was fucking boring, and am very much looking forward to interesting things to find.

Yeah, as soon as I saw that I was like "oh god what the fuck they stole our idea" :P

They had so much more potential to do with what they had though, essentially it was just "drive across the desert, kill guys, drive to next location".

I also thought that they totally failed to capitalise on the sheer loneliness of the place; soldiers everywhere kinda stuff was very typical and very, well, meh.

Good to capitalise on thier errors though really.
