Map Battle 33 - Abandonment

[904]

Though it is important that that story is shown in the screenshot.

Not to rain on anybodies parade... but wasn't the point of this contest to show abandonment, ie a mother walking away from a child? Not just an abandoned space..?

This is map battle the purpose is the environment and how it portrays the selected theme.

LOL. I thought I was looking at a screenshot. Was about to say OMFG! It does look artificial, no?

Ditto. I saw that photo and I thought to myself, "Hey, that decal on the ceiling looks awfully familiar." It does look like was made in Source though.

Map battles themes are usually fairly ambiguous so they can be left to interpretation.

Soooo... My last idea was kinda.. Boring and just what I didn't want to have. An abandoned destroyed building. So, I'm trying something new. It's a sort of office building, and here you see the elevator lobby where a man has gotten stuck and obviously nobody noticed him as they left the building.

That's a HUGE elevator... Otherwise... Looks awesome!

For some reason, that gives me the urge to fire up a game of Action HalfLife

I thought so too while looking over the screenshots. But thanks ^^ Will make it smaller.

Yes Armageddon, that did inspire me, 'cause the idea just popped in my head and I thought of that vid.

Interesting. But is he abandoned if no one knows he's there?

3 custom textures and 1 custom model so far
going to make the texture on the floor a bit brighter

I think that's a matter of opinion, but to me that's the how it is. Abandoned=Left behind.

ARGGHH I'm giving up on this I'm just losing my inspiration.

Nice idea Phott! I'm entering this, would be the first bit of mapping I've done so I'm not hoping to win or anything....

Progress! The basics are set out, time to add some details and fix the lights.
Oh, the Barney dude is supposed to walk away from the elevator, but I dunno how that looks, gonna try it out later.
