No00dylans Portfolio Building Project

Postby no00dylan on Fri Jul 23, 2010 7:42 pm

Hi there, the other day I was thinking of how I would like to enter in the map battles, but none of the themes seem to interest me, and also thinking of how I've been here for some time and still have nothing great looking to my name. So decided to make one map per week with three screens hots, based around a different theme. I will be posting my finals every Friday (except this one, of course) and on the same day ask for suggestions on what to start working on. Rules may change as this is entirely experimental, and I will be switching between games. (Hl2, to alien swarm, to tf2, to l4d and l4d2)

My top idea right now is Film Noir, but if you have any ideas, throw them at me.

Week 1 RELEASED:

I would like to see someone take on something really cool.

Like... Make a map themed around a book or something, or maybe something abstract... Idk, take a painting and try to recreate the scene in a game, that would look cool.

If you want to break into industry, you better get fully playable maps rather than scenes that only show your ability to make things pretty for a scene. Just a friendly heads up. :)

Dedicate the entire holiday to making either a full 10 minute SP map or at least a dev'd out MP map.

Actually, a rule I completely left out because I was really, really tired is that there will be at least one playable map every month, I believe my first one will be in Alien Swarm because I already have a few ideas for it.

Cool stuff Dylan, good to see you get your but going!! I find it's hard to self-motivate while mapping since it's so time consuming and lonely in the non-pro world. Alien Swarm mapping should go quicker than other games as well since it's so flat.

What I've got so far. Since this month is ending soon, I decided to go ahead and start work on the montly playable map, and make my own version of a queen boss battle.

Starting Area:

Room before you enter the queens room.

Projected textures are the business.

Ugh. Wow, it's a pain to pack this damn thing up in a vpk, something is going wrong and I have no idea what it is.
Here are some screenshots of when I DO get this up and running. I would just hand you the vpk and say "Have at em', soldier!" but if you attempt the finale on your own you will be mauled terribly. Seriously, drones everywhere, a few rangers (acid spitting bugs) and one shieldbug (who gets lost easily). I provide the player with 2 healhkits, blink packs, and sentry guns.

UPDATE

I don't know what's wrong, so I'm giving you the bsp, along WITH the vpk, maybe it will work for you. As a special "sorry" gift, I'm throwing in the vmf as well, in case you want to see how I did something.

Here you go.
