[UT] Metropolis

Developer:
fashahhh

Status:
Developing

Synopsis:
The Skaarj invasion of Earth has begun! Their massive starship waits in orbit above the city of New-Briton. Armed with your trusty Automag and a f**king Mini-Nuke it's up to you to send them packing.

Features:
Previously Amnesiac, this will be a large single map hopefully similar in length to the vale map. After being very pleased with peoples feedback on The Vale: Evelyn, I've decided to continue my work on my city map. Geometry is being overhauled to get the node count down, and all lighting being revised using everything I learnt making the vale map.

I cant remember a city map like that

Hell on earth

Damn shot looks sweet

I think its a very original idea/mappack

Are there more shots ?

Looks good.
But the idea isn't all that original, I've seen something like that and also an unreleased project which seemed to be simmilar, some years ago.

the concept/story is good and solid but known before, also the visuals are a bit mediocre =/

Good to hear/see that you're working on it again!

Interesting urban stuff

Yep, WAR-Downtown's brother meeting U1 Single Player

I was always really looking forward to this, great to see the project revived now!

I don't entirely agree. Speaking as somebody who has attempted urban maps himself, I am well aware of how quickly the poly count mounts. UE1 has limits in this respect and I think fashahhh is doing a good job of making it look interesting whilst keeping the poly count as low as possible. Kinda like a better-looking Deus Ex by day...

Also the environment looks like it will be pretty dynamic.

It's pretty damned hard to make urban maps even at a 'mediocre' quality you know.

Ye well, everything looks great besides those notleet flames. Other than that it will be something really goood. Keep up the good work.

I think the design is spot on, very effective urban imagery!

Shadow · Post by **Shadow** » 13 Dec 2007, 20:09

ya the design and concept is good even in the matter of visuals, but I hope it'll be polished up later, speaking of textures, lighting, the meshes (these bushes should really be replaced..), other than that I like it so far, it's something new besides many "you're alone and stranded on na pali, get your ass away from there to save your life.." themes

I think I know what's missing - A RUBBLE TEXTURE!

Wow, that looks like something for UT we have never seen before!

Very interesting screenie!

It surprises me a bit how many people seem unfamiliar with this project, even though it's been around for ages. I guess it shows how few people have actually read the main site in any detail!
