Custom textures would cut down a large proportion of the walls needed.

Because I've been doing voices for past and future projects I thought I would buy an external effects processor to tie into my mixing board so I don't always have to go into a computer program like Audacity to mess with the audio. I was running through all the default presets and this one was cool sounding. If you have a good sound system on your computer all the better. Crank the subwoofer.

Yeah, just did a quick calculation and that circle texture-fakery alone costs about 2k walls, super sloppy!
Still got some other things I wanna try some day.

I had been working on this sewer area for my next level. The layout for this area looks kinda similar (Not identical) to another sewer area in a different Duke Nukem game. (I Don't want to reveal too much now, I Just wanted to show this area. But I will show more of the level later.)

The Layout of the sewer:

Some screenshots of the sewers:

Making a cool event happening to the mothership (last level)
An asteroid hitting the window and then something happens.
you will see when playing the mod.

I'm working on a new canyon map. Check it out.

1. Beginning of the map. I've been playing Red 3 before doing that.
2. Night Shop.
3. Underground Ghost Town
4. More Ghost Town.
5. Me working with lighting

[Jimmy]

I'm liking how the map is very reminiscent of early 2000's maps, but that's looking very derivative of Red so far, which isn't a bad thing visually but more creativity and originality would be better received. Looks good overall!

[Danukem]

Use the Force, Duke!

[Micky C]

That's pretty cool.

What's the explanation for Duke suddenly having the force though?

He won't have this ability until you beat a certain episode.

Didn't care too much for the new HRP Fem7 animation. So I been slowly working on re-rigging her and made some other teaks to the model..

Always appreciate more work being done to the sexier side of Duke3D

Also production on Part 2 of Typical Day has begun

Besides first shot, there's nothing that might be connected with Red 1. Don't even know how you get this idea.

Is it obvious I like Unreal Tournament?

[David B.]

Already seen a real movie theatre like this in a map ?

I can feel the "Kingpin" and his men right around the corner.

[Tea Monster]

I'm getting that vibe too. Looking good.

Really exciting screenshots, man!

[CruX]

another mapster shot. Sharing this one specifically because I'd kinda drawn myself into a corner by the time I started building this specific area, and I really felt like it had no hope of looking good. But now that it's done, it's probably one of my favorite designs thusfar. Never underestimate the power of trimwork and skylights, I guess.

It will be your first map, isn't it?

That's EmericaStaker

He made the fun Crackdown mini TC, as well as another fun mini TC with an asian woman as the protagonist and a long-winded teleportation sequence (can't remember the name of it). Apparently he also released Supply Depot in 2010, but parts of it look similar to Crackdown so latter was probably adapted from it.

With his amazing skill level I'd be surprised if it's his first map anyway.

Oh. I don't know that. But I played his maps. Heh, when I first saw this shot from his "first map", I sadly look at my mess of a maps that I made over all these years.

Some guys release extremely good maps which will be marked as their debuts in the community. Remember Reflex17? Or for example, I've never heard of you until, say 2013 maybe, and all of a sudden here's some guy with excellent CON knowledge who also know how to make a really good maps.

Are you referring to me specifically? I don't have any con knowledge and my first few maps were complete and utter garbage.

In the vast majority of cases where Duke mappers have made excellent debuts, it's because they've had previous mapping experience from other games/engines. So they're already aware of many of the general concepts of mapping, and it's just a matter of becoming familiar with the editor and effects.

[Sanek]

I saw some shots from the TC's that you worked on, via CGS forums. Thought that you know some code.

Speaking of mappers with expierence, that's understandable. Build/mapster editor is one easiest and user-friendly tools to work with, so good maps is easy to make for such people.
