The Chronicles of Cole

[dre5day]

Some screen shots of the W.I.P levels I've been working on for my single player gears campaign entitled The Chronicles of Cole. It very obviously is centered around the Cole Train. The idea behind the levels is that it is to fill in the hole in the story that explains the events leading up to Coles discovery by the Cogs. These are all work in progress so please be gentle. Constructive feedback is welcome. Upon previewing these pics are pretty big so I apologize if that causes issues for anyone. In future updates Ill strive to make sure the pictures are smaller.

Wow, Very nice work.....Lots and lots of rain! I cant see the picture but please dont take the rain off! I like the rain. Very good idea. The only thing is is that Baird has to be with him because they are bestest of buds. And the only way to do Coop is to have Dom in the level unless this takes place before Cole even entered the army so its just cole himself fighting to live. This level will be the S*** im sure.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback. As this is really my first real experience with level design (I did 2 or 3 maps in 2k4) I was pretty reluctant to post my work but I figure getting critiqued is part of the process of improving. Ill look into the lighting, I really really like the idea of adding some torches. Thanks for the encouragement and I hope to have some updates soon.

The first picture is my favorite. The gear that looks like it has blood on it with the hanging bodies is great. Maybe you could make more places that look like they have blood on them. The ceiling looks a little too plain in my opinion. Maybe you could subtract some cubes to make it look like some tiles have fallen down. In the second picture I think you should add some trees and other shrubbery to enhance the scene. I don't care for the third picture much however. I think the fog looks ugly and the area too wide open. Keep up the good work.

As WIP they do look very good. It's clear that you've already got a distinct visual style you're going for, which is good. Things do look pretty under-detailed, though. It's just pretty empty in a lot of areas.

looks solid. keep it up.
