New environment on the way!

I need to create corners or welders. I'm also contemplating creating holes in the "net" at places. The general feel of this area shall feel very "open" - as you have the possibility of being attacked from under you or from the side. I will also create rows of lockers in the dark room past the net - to make it harder to gain perfect surveillance over the area (maybe something is stalking you in the dark? :]). You will also have the possibility to crawl under the "first floor" - as shown in image number 4.

This is sort of a "lighting test". Input of any kind would be great!

The corridor should be brighter if it's made of metal, lights reflect a lot more on metalic surfaces I'm sure...

Some large, low, PointLights with a color combination of yellow/cyan/white, or just a boxlight.

This is the area I'm currently working on. It's a server room, in which I'll hopefully succeed in creating some interesting lighting. As it is now I still have tweaks to do and models to create, but I'm liking the way it's turning out!

A video of it here! Watch in 1080p.

I will dedicate below text into writing down some ideas sizzling in my head and how I go about creating my mod. I have a "backbone" story written down as well as a "backbone" maplayout. The story and maplayout provide a good flow and consistency for the main events. It's also a good reminder on what I need to/can do next. It's looking like this (don't go looking if you care about spoilers):

Spoiler below!

The maplayout spans "all of the maps" - I split it at parts where it would be natural for a new level or at places where it would be necessary (for performance).

I deviate from that layout once I get inspiring or interesting ideas, because they keyword in creating something is fun. Such deviations are then fitted into the "main layout" at places where it would seem consistent.

I start out a new area by placing static objects; walls, floors, other obstacles. Once such things have been placed I start creating the lighting. The goal is to create an interesting lighting. It should be scary (achieved through contrast - having some really dark areas) and showing my models as well as the intended paths the player may/can walk. I try to avoid boxlights. Mostly I work with a lot of pointlights to get the light to spread naturally. If called for I include some spotlights; that is in cases where the shadows from them can provide a feeling of "threat" in the environment.

In this mod the puzzles and story go hand in hand. I find it very fun to create challenging puzzles, but from previous attempts I have learned that too hard puzzles might cause a loss of immersion for the player. I have therefore elected to make most puzzles non-mandatory for progression. Solving puzzles will instead provide interesting information on the story as it branches out in other directions. The set of "main-events/story" will still be given to all players simply through progression through the mod.

Fap-tastic Big Grin

Now that I'm more familiar with ZBrush and the normal mapping workflow, I think I'll get back on the Stealther soon. Would really like to finish him up.
