Hello everyone! My name is Curtis, but my nickname that I kept since I was 8 is "Mac". I am a big fan of sci-fi and anything to do with technology and space. When time permits, I love playing games... If I had to choose which style of gaming is my favorite, I couldn't say. I would put RTS, 1st-person, and RPG as the top 3, but I suppose that covers a good percentage of all the games! What I also really like to do on my spare time is create maps for pc games, mainly for the C&C series but sometimes for the AoE series - I can thank RA95 for this map-building addiction! I don't have any experience with modding, though. Lately (as in the last few years, off & on, when I have time) my time for playing has been devoted to building maps for C&C3;. Why this game? Because this game has a such an awesome mod that I have great respect for and thoroughly enjoy... It's called: Tiberium Essence.

This map is a remake from Tiberian Sun. I tried to make it very close to the original, although the most noticeable difference is there is sludge in here while in the TS version there was none. I figure if this map had originally been released with the FS expansion and when there are any Veinhole monsters, there would be sludge.
A big thank you to Carnius for the textures and objects that I used so far, and for any more that's upcoming. This map will thereby be exclusive for the mod Tiberium Essence of the game C&C3 Tiberium Wars.
This map is still a WIP including some more balancing, but it's certainly most of the way done.
Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome :)
wow, that's looking fantastic man!
really stunning work that you're doing here. I like it a lot, that the map isn't not simply mirrored, but each side is unique
I hope you can progress well in finishing this map ;)
This reply is way-way overdue, but thank you very much Redeemer!
Yeah I guess growing up with the classic games where maps then were almost always asymmetrical, which often resulted in interesting gameplay and strategies, is what caused me to enjoy and prefer those map types. Kind of like life, each of us makes do with the cards we're dealt :)
I think symmetrical maps are also good, especially for those more competitive matches, but even still I'd try to find ways to make it not a complete mirror of itself. So whether I'm stomping an opponent or if they're stomping me, haha, I like having things be visually interesting while it's going down ;)
