Thanks.

[Fantinaikos]

I see a plenty of custom/downloaded models, but even some textures should be HD or the visual effect will be estranging. The atmosphere is very reminiscent of Arx Fatalis.

It's not run only on Polymer right?

[Mark]

Everything I make is designed for Polymer. I'll see if its still playable in some other mode and let you know. The map is dark in places and uses some TROR. So even if its playable there may be glitches.

[Mark]

Fantinaikos: It is playable in Polymost but shade levels are off, many dark areas and textures, plus many of the 2d sprites and textures look crappy.

But it may not matter. The first map tester gave it 2 thumbs down for gameplay. Too much exploring and couldn't find quest items. I'll have another person test it. If they find it bad I'll have to scrap the whole thing for now. I thought about converting it from adventure to shooter but low framerate kills that idea.

[Fantinaikos]

Maps structure and navigation are at your discretion, but if the shooting part and the item quest/adventure sections coexist you can solve the problem with a radar, which would thus a dual purpose. Unless your specific gameplay concept for this add-on is the free exploration without any indication outside the ambience or hints during the dialogues.

[Mark]

It is based on free exploration. Basically you are roaming around town finding things for villagers ( quests ) while also making your way to the end of the map to meet back up with the wizard who accidently zapped you to this village. Its more of a demo to show what you can do with the WGR2 mod besides just making a shooter map. Not a full scale game.

[Jolteon]

Not the next map, but I was working on a beastiary map, possibly for a future project. I've included the regular Duke 3D enemies as well as some custom ones.




I've even included the unused enemies (Scorpion Tank, and Organic Turret) for I might feature them in future maps.



It's still very WIP, for I might add scenery for the map, and There are still more enemies to add on here in the future.

[Sanek]

What I really like about Jolteon's attitude is to fill every new map with new set of monsters, which is very refreshing. Keep it up!

[Sanek]

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS!



Enemies will appear later. Image that they will fill all this space and you have to jump over them.

[Danukem]

So is it going to be like Mario Sunshine where you use a hose to clean the walls?

It looks bad? I can remove this thing if it looks bad.

Wow! Great atmosphere!

[Mark]

Now that my medEVIL mod is released and I'm finished with my work in the HH remake with Teamonster I thought I would go back to yet another part time project that has been worked on here and there over the last few years. Its based on the first map of Doom2 and its for DukePlus. High res, models and Polymer of course. I posted this in the unfinished project thread a while back but I just couldn't let it go to waste. The map is mostly done and I need to do the enemy / weapon / ammo part I love so much.

This is my first and probably only moonbase type of map. I'm not a big fan of them anymore after seeing so many over the years. But I wanted to try it once. This one has parts that look like doom2, naked chicks that will be very grateful after you rescue them, a little bit of office romance in the ladies room, and a hardworking union guy in the warehouse. Whats not to love? There are some NPCs scattered around but this will be strictly a shooter map. It will use stock Dukeplus. Just add the map to the folder and play.

Didn't you already release that map a while ago/

[Mark]

Yes. In my first paragraph I mentioned that I previously released this in the unfinished project thread. I hope you're reading blueprints at university more thoroughly.

No I was completely serious. I thought you were making a mod where you clean dirt off the walls...it's really not a bad idea. However, I can see now that I misinterpreted the soil texture. It looks fine! Carry on.

[Daedolon]

Really like the first one of those, reminds me of The Lost City from Thief, which I absolutely love.

Looks good. Could use some wall trimming though.

Coincidentally I just started playing that for the first time a few hours ago.

[High Treason]

Maybe...


...maybe.

Seems I have lost much of the later revisions, but not much progress was made beyond detailing and hooking up a door opening mechanism.

[Sanek]

Our project don't even have a title right now, but we already have a team's logo.

Thats one of the fun parts of doing a mod.

[Jolteon]

Here are some new enemies That will be appearing in my next map, There's will be more, but it will be a surprise.

Firstly, Here's an Expander Enforcer. An Enforcer with red tinted armor who can fire Expander shots.



Next up, if you thought the Snake Head is underwhelming, then wait until you meet his big brothers.
Here's an Ice Snake Head, who can fire Freezers at you.



Then there's the Fire Snake Head who can also fire Expander Shots at you.



Wait. With these guys grouped up with the Freezer Lizard from LR & WB, there's a theme going on here, I think.

[Zaxtor]

Will be Working on the final boss of my mod and also currently working on the ending, will be an epic ending when the mothership destroys itself.

[Sanek]

Candy...you must collect them all to finish the level.

Cool stuff Sanek! Gotta love that retro feel.

[Sanek]

I need someone who can draw sprites - enemies, you know. Me and Eddy have no trouble with maps and cons, but new enemies is the only area we can't handle. And we only about 5 to 10 frames for them! I already wrote about it to a couple of men, but I also post it here - just in case.

Oh, and...

[Mark]

People here have created many sheets worth of new enemy sprites. Did you do a search for them? So many made but I don't see a lot of them getting used.
