Horizontal looks utter bitching.

Alright well that pretty much seals it. Next week sometime I'll change it and see if I can improve it any more at all.

a10:
made some stairs between B and C recede into the wall when B is capped
changed the black hole back to horizontal, added an ending sequence for it
some minor detail
lots of optimization around the BLU spawn and A area

Here are pictures of the back hole (looks better in game; ending sequence triggers when RED wins) and of the stairs that recede (pictured halfway in on purpose):

Noclipping through that particle kills my fps. Probably want someone with a bad computer to come in a test it out.

Clip the area below the windows so I can just run through them. All of them plox.

That's some z-axis fighting.


This blade of grass sticks through the floor.


This thing's fade-distance is a bit low. I can't even see it from across the close part of the map when I look right at it.


From a distance these windows are black.


Lots of these props have a bit low fade-distances.


Pleeeeease clip this prop.


This roof looks... weird.


Can you add a light here? It would emphasize the location as well as making the roof look a bit brighter.


Otherwise: eh. Let's test it.

Chaofanatic made me a really kick ass particle system, you guys.

Dormant, active and dying states, for gameplay, red winning and blu winning respectively. Sound effects are a work in progress that I'll be playing with the volume of in game.

as if I wasn't under enough pressure to finish this already

Astronomer in me: THAT ISN'T HOW THAT WORKS

The rest of my: that is really fucking cool.

I prefer "really fucking cool" to "how it works". SORRY

Hey so expect a release of a11 pretty soon here. Other than adding in Chaofanatic's particles (above) I have some other changes planned


Adding an upper area for red here, kind of like on Upward, and also trying to shrink C a bit


In general I am reducing a lot of the extra props and bullshit around the map for performance reasons mostly, but also because it just got out of hand. This isn't a trade map (yet). I bet you can't even tell what I removed, and that's a good thing


Along the same token I deleted all the shit that was out here because it looked neat but I can't optimize it. I will try to strike a balance between something interesting and the dull expanse that is Thunder Mountain stage 1


Did I ever post this sign that Seba made me? <3 Seba

pretty sure everything is packed correctly, but the black hole is tricky

a11:
got rid of receding stairs, not that important
new black hole courtesy of chaofanatic
new scaffolding at C, in addition C is somewhat smaller and red has a slightly redone spawn situation
prop reduction and better optimization across the board
loads of new detailing
