WIP Venice

[TheFreak]

I have been working on this map for about a week. the biped is gonna be an alien wich i will probably start modelling today. it is gonna have all custom guns that are the guns we have today but make them a little more futuristic. so far i have my brother leiuki's colt 1911 and i started an AK-47 yesterday. anyways, here it is.

i am gonna have sniper rifle's in the hunting store. he cop shop will have pistols and shotguns. the army base will have a rocket launcher that fires balls similiar to lacrosse balls.(just to push you off the edge into the water)
Burgastan will have AK-47's. The Gun shop will have shotguns and AK-47's.
the plant habitat will have glass shards. the bank will have pistols the library will have spears and axes and other melee weapons. and the rest will just have dead aliens with random weapons beside them.

looking good

Nice concept the layout could prove interesting, overall nice map idea.

I was wondering if I could see a wire frame, I'm just curious other than that I like it.

Not exceptional, but definately not bad.

[TheFreak]

hooded smack, pelase tell me why it's not exceptional. and i am rendering a wireframe right now.

Alright. All I'm seeing is slightly modified primitives. Boxes and cylindars, perhaps something that was once a sphere, etc. There's nothing astoundingly complex about it that makes me say "Dang. That must have taken some hard work." That doesn't mean you didn't work hard on this, I'm sure you did, but the reason I say it's not exceptional is because it just doesn't "wow" me, and I can say with confidence that there are people here in agreeance. It's a nice looking map, keep up the good work.

[TheFreak]

i didn't use any boxes :-P it's all plane modelled(except the glass thing). i will try adding some more detail after i finish my biped.

You seem to have laid it out fairly well, you just need to work on your detailing .. probably should have before posting but that's ok :)

Keep it up.

Nothing special; I wouldn't ever download it if it stays in the condition it's in right now. I'm not going to spare you the criticism just because you're new. I want you to improve it just as much as you do. You need to incorperate foot travel paths and concepts into your map. My main concern is the inconsistancy in the themes and ideas of the map. You have aliens, on earth, with not only futuristic weapons, alien weapons, and present-day weapons, but you're also adding in ancient melee weapons like spears and axes. Not only do they not go together in terms of design, but also in gameplay. Not everyone's gonna use a boat if you plan on adding them. The buildings, in a futureistic map, should be futuristic yet still remniscient of classic venice in architecture. They are also too short to be venice buildings.

ok, lol i will take out the melee weapons. the reason there were there is because the librayry is sorta lie a museum lol.

[ImSpartacus]

i kind of liked the concept of melee stuff (if u kept it simple), but the aliens are a little out of there.

you also need to give people a reason to go to some of those far reaching buildings.

so restricting movement is a possiblity, by rerouting everything past those far reaching rooms.

i think it looks cool atm and i hope it turned out great

[TheFreak]

well, i was thinking after i finish this map i am gonna make an sp map, or several. i already have a story... sort of, these 2 aliens are forzen inside a meteor for millions of years and the meteor hits earth and melts. the other aliens aer already on earth infesting it. the alien you play as allies with the humans and the other one allies with the aliens. neither of you have any weapons so that's why you would use human guns. i hope that makes sense. i also might make an alternate campaign whre you play as the alien that allies wiht the aliens.
