Mercury Falling Public Beta

[goye2cz]

I'd like to announce that a map I've been working on for some time now is in the Public Beta stage. Mercury Falling is the name and I've made a website with some pictures right here: http://mercuryfalling.bramofon.com (http://mercuryfalling.bramofon.com/)

Here are a few teaser shots (full-res can be found at the website):

I abandoned the project several times and finally decided to finish it. There are a few model things that should have been fixed by a fresh start but I really need to get this project off my desk and I'd rather not let this drag on another year. That said, I'm happy with the project and looking forward to releasing it.

Crit and advice welcome, but please understand that any major redesign is out of the question.

Dude! That looks awesome! I'll DL it later today when I'm off my laptop and tell yah how I like it

Looks intriguing, I like the inspiration you took from Revelations (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4992) on the base overhanging the cliff (at least assuming you took some inspiration from that). Always liked that style of base.

Outdoor looks great!

Thanks to all. Yes, It was originally inspired by pre-release screenshots of Revelations. Love that too. :)

If you pay some close attention: There is no map download yet.

Oh this looks neat! I want to play it. :o

[Lateksi]

Guys, you have to try this out! :)

[EagerYoungSpaceCadet]

Looks very cool, I'd like to play it too =)

if anyone doesn't like this map, then they have something wrong with them

Just a little update. A friend of mine is making a trailer for the map before its release. He sent me a concept clip and it needs some tuning up before we release it, but it will be well worth the wait. Thanks to all for the interest. :)

Nobody posted anything negative so why write this? Just say the map is awesome and be done with it.

The short story is: I got sick of windows.

Anyway, I'm back in business and I've done away with a whole butt load of glitches and ugliness. The map is back on track and will be released sooner than anyone expects. If you guessed that it will never be released, you will be one of the few surprised. :) Check out the progress at: http://mercuryfalling.bramofon.com/web/

Really all that's left to do is work out a few minor texturing details and some leet lightmaps and I'm golden.

Dare to begin to believe.


BIG HONKING EDIT TO SAY THERE ARE NEW SCREENSHOTS. COME AN GET IT 'FORE I THROW IT OUT!!!!

Bumping for update, do your thing Skilit.

[goye2cz]

Oh yeah, this guy made a teaser trailer but forgot to do something and the light in his video is weird. Oh well. It's a teaser trailer anyway.

I shall post ye all a public download link when it becomes available.

Now that makes me want to play HCE multiplayer again. Looks classic and I can't wait to see what the gameplay is like!

[staticchanger]

Yeah, this looks good. I'll probably add it to the line up of a LAN party we're doing this spring. Can't wait.
