Map Battle 46 - my own lair

Postby 904 on Sun Aug 01, 2010 10:14 pm

You know it.
You're evil.
Or maybe: you're good.
Deep down inside, only you know where you stand..
But wether you're the good guy or the bad guy, you need 1 thing.
And that's a hide-out, a den, a lair.
You know you have fantasized about it.
Now is the time to create it.

So the assignment for the coming weeks is: create your own lair. And make it special.

________________________________________________________________________


Goal
Make a map in an official Valve Source engine game that fits the given theme, make it as visually pleasing as you can, it does not have to be playable.

Deadline
Due to me being internet-less around the end of the month, the deadline for this battle is set on September 2nd. The battle will be closed at 22:00 GMT that day. For a conversion of the the closing time to your own location, check this.

Basic Rules
  • Three final screenshots max
  • You should use an official Valve Source engine game
  • Custom content is more than welcome

Full rules
You can find the full rules here. If you've got any questions about the theme, the rules or the battles in general, either post in this thread or PM me (904).

________________________________________________________________________


Good luck!
A full month to come up with some creative stuff, so good luck and get mapping!
Please post W.I.P. shots and don't forget to mark your final screenshots.

Also, battle 37 will run back to back with this one, starting september 3rd.

TF2 will be good for this. A lot of the assets scream 60s evil lair.

Had an idea since I saw this come up.
Must decide if I want to go serious and use EP2 or Funny and use TF2.....
Contact. The EU welcomes the pain free. That's emotional impact.
I actually think limitation is good for creativity. If we had an engine that could do everything, we would be in trouble. It gives us focus. ~~ Randy Lundeen
