Duckncover SP (Beta)

[kuhlka]

Here is a semi-polished beta version of my map. Any comments and critique would be greatly appreciated. I worked for 2 months learning the engine (previous 2k4 experience) and figured I'd dive into KISMET. I've got a lot more finish detail to go to make this a 'shippable' quality map, but I think I got the main gameplay down as well as a little story.

Download the map here, including instructions for installation;

This has to be the best looking map I've seen so far. Good going man. keep it up.

Has immense potential but already looks badass. Add more blocks/bricks/whatever else for little spots of cover between the long hallways you have created. That would make it much more tactical and would enable the player to become more stealthy. Great job.

Will do. I'm also looking at lighting, detail meshes, and more decals. Should be even better when I get more time to finish it. Might add a boss battle if I don't get a job in the next week or so. (lots of phone interviews coming up)

Cheers.

give a boomer raams troika, and up his health, thatd do.

First of everything, my congratulations for the laborious work. Since you have already pointed earlier, the lighting is too much attenuated. The personages go too direct and they are knocked down quickly. I have liked playing it. Thank you very much.

Sounds great, and good luck on getting a job! I have a small favor to ask if you do not mind, if you could post pics of the updates/ideas or anything else you have that would be great, I would love to help in any way possible. Once again it looks amazing.

I worked today for around 8 hours updating to a new version of the map downloadable here;

Here are some screens to show the new lighting and modified entrance and side path cover.

Looks great, definitely headed in the right direction. It has a very Cathedral feel to it which is nice, looks intimidating as well with the giant sculptures hanging overhead and uniformly. Little touches is all the map needs now, everything major (that I can see from the screens) looks to be taken care of.
