It's certainly possible, with a little copy paste creating the exterior might even be easy, but what the hell am I supposed to fill up 20 story's with? Creating a variety of gameplay and level design in such a building is almost impossible IMO.
@LeoD, Norvak said he'd work on it next, talk to him Posted Image

I'd also like to thank Yatta for publishing my news item on the CBP.

Try the latest eduke, this is the very latest eduke32 and here you can download always the latest version: eduke32 synthesis

Other than that I don't know what your problem could be

I just played through the map. Took me 45 minutes and found 1 secret.

I haven't bothered reading any other comment about it but all I have to say is that I really enjoyed it a lot : it's quite a unique feel with a lot of nice effects.
The best part of the map is everything related to the futuristic town; sadly the letdown is that quite a few parts of the map feel more like classic Duke and stick out from the rest.

I'm stuck in the big multi-colored room after you let the slashers out. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

blow up the reactor, find the switch to get out of the multi-colored room (it's not too far from the door you came in), go back to the hub with the spire, and jet pack to the upper town

Been off line for a bit and it's good to come back to see so much going on. Gonna play this as soon as I catch up with all I've missed.

Played this map some days ago and I have some comments, surely you guys have done а great work, every part has solid design and the theme is fairly consistent. I agree with others about the gameplay, it was an intriguing journey from the start to the nukebutton (and beyond =P). I noted that despite all the detail, the style of this map is quite old-school throughout, so I prefer playing it in classic mode; really didn't even try it in Polymer, the lighting is acceptable for me.
The only glitch I got... it happened when I accidentally dived under that slanted section of translucent water, I couldn't get out of there without the aid of DNCLIP.

Do you remember how you managed to dive under that section? It's supposed to be blocked.

Try to dive into the nearby pool while swimming towards the fence blocking twe way to that section... kind of diving between the sectors. Sometimes you get teleported into the blocked area. Maybe an additional water sector afore could fix the problem.

If there was going to be an update to fix the bug, the easiest way to fix it (considering there are no more walls available), would be to make the underside the transparent water unblocking so that the player can simply swim up. I just tried that out, and if the player swims up through that water, then the underwater tint will still be on even though you're in air again (due to lack of SE teleport to make the effect complete). So vision will be altered, at least until some night vision goggles are used, but at least the player won't die, and it's rare enough that the tint shouldn't be a problem.

A bit late to the party here!
Wow-what a map! Can't play it yet, only looking through it via mapster - I can see a lot of LTC in this. Many thanks to all that worked on it.

Finally I played it.

I've never seen a map like that, it's a huge creation.
Projects like this keep Duke alive

The only downsize in my personal case is that the map is freezing not far from the end and go back to Windows. I've tried to reload it again and again, the problem occurs each time so I can't go further anymore.
Back in Windows, a message pops up with "too many sprites" (or something like that). I've already downloaded the last 'eduke32' but in vain.
Sad cause I'll never see the end. This work is magnificent and some ideas are fresh.

Nobody else has mentioned that bug yet and no one in the team has come across it yet. If you're playing with a mod like duke plus I recommend playing vanilla. The ending is worth it

I wouldn't call it a bug. It seems to be an engine limitation. I encountered it, too. (Using DukePlus/HRP, ofc, that's why I didn't mention it.) My workaround was to avoid using devastator or rocket launcher near the end. Rittballoon once caused the same crash for me back then, even without DukePlus IIRC.

Yes I used Duke Plus. I'll try without it.

Is there a walkthrough of this map anywhere. I am stuck at the beginning with the rotating rooms. Thanks!

Couldn't find any video either, but I guess I can help you. What's getting you stuck?

been a long time, but iirc, you have to ride a few of those rotating carousels around and find some buttons or switches. After you activate enough of them you'll eventually open up a door that exits the room and leads to an elevator

maybe. probably.
i recall the elevator ride, but i don't remember if the player uses it to leave as well as getting to the love-shack from the 'couples-club'. I thought the 'explosions' opened the door from the bar to the outdoor plaza as well. I'm most likely wrong. Like I said. It's been awhile. I play-tested it to get the bugs out of it, so my sequencing is a bit sketchy, and some stuff changed during the testing phase..
