I am an ambitious level designer for source, I currently have one mod running called "Verloren", I am also open to mapping for other mods too.
My Blogs
Progress is running smoothly on the maps so far, darklight is very almost ready for release on darkness, but it still runs a little slowly so more optimization is still in progress on that front! On verloren the maps are about 1/2 way done on beta level for the demo, keep tuned pictures coming soon!
The second blog up and running!
In this one I'd just like to explain why we decided to split the entire mod into sections like Ep01 -02 -03.
this is because currently I am the only one doing most of the level design and material creation, so it makes sense to split the mod up into sections to keep interest going. It also helps to keep me and my team motivated knowing that one big chunk of the entire mod and story is done when its done, instead of lingering on and on over a long time period. Sure, some mods do it because they have a huge fanbase, but in this situation we feel that the episodic path was less intensive and once the first episode is release, it may generate enough interest to get additional help and increase our pace.
Anyway, I'm waffling on too much!
I can tell you right here and now that the map of "Darklight Port" may become available sooner than you think, but there are still performance issues that, in singleplayer, would have been fine, but in multiplayer they seem to be effecting gameplay drastically. Hopefully I can get these issues fixed and packed soon-ish in time for the next build release.
Thats all for now, keep looking for more mapper tid-bits and development of Verloren info!
Hi all,
Realized I should of started this diary when "verloren" first started, but, it's been a long and evolving process developing the levels and content, so I won't bother you with the past details. The current details on "Verloren" are as follows:
-The demo has now been estimated to release on the 30th October for beta tests and on the 20th December for full demo release. There will be roughly 5 levels included in the demo.
-As you may know, I have been helping making maps for a popular up-and-coming mod called "darkness". This means there is a possibility of a map from verloren being available to enjoy as a multiplayer map before demo release.
That's all on this front guys, I will continue to keep you in the loop of all dev going-ons.
